Beautiful villa and the perfect Greek holiday
We spent an amazing week at the villa. It could not have been more perfect. The location is amazing, the island is beautiful and Dimitris was really helpful throughout the whole process. The only bad thing was having to come home!

Staying in this villa was the perfect experience for our honeymoon. The villa offers privacy on the side of the mountain with an easy trip down to Skopelos town. There are several amazing hikes on the island and the location of this villa allows for easy access to other towns. Dimitris is a superb host and his hospitality is excellent. Words cannot explain the experience that this villa offers! Definitely recommend picking this villa for your next vacation!

very good
We had a great holiday in Skopelos and a lovely stay at Pegasus cottage. We were particularly impressed with the level of comunication with Dimitris and his team on the island and nothing seemed to be to much trouble. Our cottage was very clean and well looked after and the cleaning service excellent. There were great beaches (loved limnonari) and tavernas very nearby for those lazy days with just a book. Good restuarants (Rodi and Perivoli were our favourites-must book) all in all after the hustle and bustle of the UK this was a great holiday break. Issue with the wasps but am assured it was an excepional year for the blighters. Would I go back, one year definatly. Mike & Alison

Slice of paradise!
We chose to spend our honeymoon at Villa Kentavros and it was the best decision we made (other than getting married!)! :-) it was so beautiful and romantic! We loved that it was quiet and peaceful. All you could hear were the goats on the hills and the insect songs. We enjoyed the pool every day, and backgammon on the beautiful terrace with a view. Dimitris was extremely helpful and welcoming. He helped us rent a car, rent a boat and enjoy the island to its fullest. We especially recommend Taverna Fotini, which is a 5 minute walk down the road. Mrs. Fotini is a great cook and a very sweet lady! We will really miss this special place and hope to be back soon! Thank you for everything, Dimitris!

Great little cottage
My Husband and I stayed here for 1 week at the beginning of October, 2017.
Since this was the off-season, we were so happy to have this self-service cottage as lots of amenities on the Island were closed. Beware - ferry service and weather are unpredictable during this time of year!
Communication with Dimitris through the planning stages was really great. He was a huge help. He has a property manager, Kosmas, who picked us up from the Ferry and also checked on us once during our stay to change towels and clean the pool.
The views from the patio were really lovely. We cooked many meals in the kitchen and generally enjoyed the space.
We found the bed to be too uncomfortable so we slept on the couches in the living room. We found most beds in Europe to be like this throughout our Vacation so this is a personal preference thing. Also, the pool was very cold so we could not use it. I think if there was a solar blanket used it would keep out the debris and keep the water warmer.
I would stay here again and give it 5 stars if we could have used the pool.

Fantastic holidays in a fantastic villa
My wife and me were already often to Greece and its islands during the last 25 years. But this time we found a real treasure. The very green Island of skopelos with a beautiful small Villa named „kentavros“. There - situated on the hills above skopelos-Town - you will find this perfect mediterranian-style house with an overwhelming view over the forest onto the Town and its Port to the sea. The size is right for 2-4 Persons and you find anything you need from a clean 4x7 Pool to a smaller kitchen with refrigerator, oven and other needful things - all in good shape. There is a large, open living room with several Sofas, a Sat-TV and W-LAN. As we are Germans we missed a German TV Programm, but that was no real problem, because we felt at Home there. If you need a calm and perfect residence for your Greek holidays with a nice small town nearby (only 10 minutes by car away - you surely need a car!!!) with lots of very good restaurants and nice shops and with an island with many beautiful beaches only few miles away - don‘t look any further!!! And the best of all: the very polite and gentle owner Mr. Dimitris Bessilas and his collaborators, Mr. Kosma and his family. If you got any problem, they´re only a phone call away and you can consider it done as soon as possible. From our arrival at the port with the ferryboat to our departure - everything was so well organized, that you felt welcome as a close friend. Everything was treated serious and fair, from the first SMS-contact before our holidays to the last moments when we returned the keys (with a deep sigh). For that we have to thank Mr. Bessilas and his helping hands again so much. We are sure to come back to skopelos, the villa „kentavros“ and it’s gentle people in the nearer future. ... by the way - all fotos you see in the advertisement represent truly the reality. You get what you see!!!
We can only deeply recommend this object and its owner for your holiday. It were fantastic holidays in a fantastic villa. Tom, 58 y.o.,German lawyer and tax-attorney and Anja, 51 y.o., German teacher

Merci beaucoup Christophe !
Eine sehr schöne Villa ,Dimitris, der Vermieter ist sehr freundlich und kümmert sich wirklich sehr
Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit hier . Mit dem Auto ist man schnell in der Stadt oder an wunderschönen Stränden , wenn man mal ein bisschen ausruhen möchte , bietet die Villaeinen schönen Pool und liegen !
Es war ein wirklich toller Urlaub! Wir kommen gerne wieder :)
Excellente communication avec Dimitris qui a pris de nos nouvelles quotidiennement. La villa était fidèle en tous points à la description de l’annonce.
Un peu rustique mais idéale pour une petite famille (nous avons deux enfants de 7 et 10 ans). Correctement équipée pour cuisiner ou recevoir des amis. La piscine était aussi très appréciable! Dans l’ensemble, nous avons passé un très agréable séjour.

If you're looking for a private, peaceful location with stunning views you've found it!
Accommodation very comfortable for the 2 of us.
Communication excellent, helpful and very fast!
First visit to Skopelos and we loved it.
Everything was great and we enjoyed our vacation very much. The villa was very nice and located in a quiet area. The view from the terrace was excellent. The communication with the owner and the contact persons on site was very good. He was always very friendly, courteous and helpful.
The villa is set up high in the hills looking down on Skopelos town. It is quiet, and in a remote location but with a car you are quickly in the lively town below. We had a wonderful holiday and do not hesitate to recommend the villa and the more than welcoming and helpful host, Dimitris, to anyone wishing to escape to an idyllic, peaceful setting.
We spent a week here for my 40th birthday and it was absolutely perfect! Skopelos is a great island - gorgeous beaches and lovely restaurants without being overly touristy or busy. And the villa had everything we need, amazing views and privacy so it felt like we were in our own slice of paradise.
Für und das perfekte Haus, Ausstattung neuwertig, alles in ausreichender Menge vorhanden. Man fühlte sich gleich willkommen, im Kühlschrank war schon eine kleine Grundausstattung. Einzig das Bett ist auf Dauer hart. Der Pool mit dem Blick zum Hafen ist genial, man hört den gesamten Tag das angenehme Läuten der Ziegenherde und hat den Geruch von Kräutern und Pinienwald in der Nase.
Der guten Seele des Hauses, Herrn Kosma, wollen wir besonders Danken.
Außergewöhnlich auch der Vermieter. Obwohl er nicht vor Ort ist, merkt man, dass es ihm wichtig ist, dass sich seine Gäste Wohlfühlen. Wir wünschen ihm mit seinem Nachbarn alles Gute.

Great and very polite guests!
Thank you Christian. What more to ask than to feel that your guests enjoy their holidays and what the house and its surroundings have to offer. It is such a reward for us. I will keep note of your comment regarding the bed and have an alternative mattress in any case.
We wish you the very best!
Dimitris
The property was delightful, nestling in the hills overlooking Skopelos town. Dimitris took every care to make sure that our holiday was enjoyable with texts, emails and calls that were prompt and helpful. Any problem was dealt with immediately and professionally which left us able to enjoy our stay without any concerns. A big 'thank you' to Dimitris!
