Villa Kentavros Fully private pool villa away from it all!

Villa Kentavros is ideal for the people looking for a romantic and peaceful get-a-way, whilst being close to the amenities of Skopelos Town, only 10 minutes away by car.
It is the perfect spot for walkers, with easy access to many trails, as well as for painters who will appreciate the wonderful scenery from Pefkias hillside.


Surroundings:

Villa Kentavros is one of three fully private villas set in their own grounds in the peaceful area of Pefkias, on the hillside above Skopelos Town. Kentavros has its own driveway and sits above Villa Arktos and next to villa Pegasus. It is surrounded by pine forests while it oversees the Skopelos harbor and the Aegean. The villa is completely private and not overlooked by the other two villas. Villa Kentavros is situated in the area of Pefkias, on the hillside above Skopelos Town (about 10 minutes by car) and enjoys fantastic views down the lush wooded valley to Skopelos harbor and the sea beyond.

Interior:

Entry into this simple but beautiful villa, is to the open plan living / dining room, with comfortable furnishings and French windows, leading out to the front terrace which looks down the wooded valley to Skopelos Town and the sea beyond. Off to one side of the living room is a well equipped kitchen, complete with dishwasher and a separate wc. French windows from here also lead to the front terrace with with a small dining table for alfresco meals. A doorway from the kitchen leads to a specious double bedroom and en suite wc/shower room with windows from which to admire the stunning views. This unique and enchanting house is entered into the sitting room which is open plan with the kitchen and a small w/c. This one-level house is decorated in rich colored walls, terra cotta floors and dark wood-beamed ceilings. The room is furnished with a comfortable sofa (which converts to a bed for extra sleeping for 2 persons) and two couches and tables with views to the harbor from the spacious windows.

The couches with soft big pillows add to the warm and comforting atmosphere. From this room there is a French door leading to a roomy terrace with the same lovely views and has access to the swimming pool. The spacious open-plan kitchen is located off the living room which is equipped with full size cooker/oven and all modern conveniences. There is a breakfast table, but most meals will probably be taken on the terrace which is furnished with an ample dining table and comfortable chairs.

A small w/c is located between the living room and the kitchen.


Exterior:


The exterior walls have being painted in bright colors, a technique taken from ancient times and which complement
the surroundings. There is a BBQ and outside dining table with the private swimming pool and spacious pool terrace to one side of the house and close to the shady pergola.

Honeymoon Stay In Skopelos
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!

a relaxing getaway
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.

Stunning view
If you’re intending to rent a super luxurious villa this might not be your cup of tea. However, we absolutely loved this quirky villa. We had a couple of small issues at the beginning but Dimitris and his team put them right immediately. Nothing was too much of an effort for them. The views overlooking Skopelos town were absolutely stunning and the pool was lovely. At first glance, it seems to be in the middle of nowhere but that’s deceptive as it’s within easy drive of the main town, as well as the beaches in the south. We will be recommending this place to our friends and hope to visit again in the future.

Excellent !
The small villa is perfectly located: great view, quiet and close to Skopelos town (10 minutes by car). It is perfectly equipped and well maintained, all you basically need for a relaxing and mindful stay is there. Dimitris is a perfect host, always willing to help and advice. We'll certainly come back next year, breaking our 'rule' to never go to the same place again.

Stunning location beautiful Villa just perfect
We have had the most wonderful week all helped by our very accommodating holiday owner Dimitris who helped us organise our trip over to the island from Skiathos (it is easy) as well as car hire and has kept in touch to make sure we are enjoying our stay. Our home for the week has been just perfect, the pool is clean, all the facilities are so easy it feels so at home from the minute you walk in. We have spent most evenings drinking lovely cold wine and chilling on the balcony that overlooks the town of Skopelos. Kentravos is in a perfect and quiet location that is so peaceful and relaxing, we don’t want to leave. This island is a must visit for everyone. Getting around is easy meaning that you can visit a new beach everyday. All the beaches are clean with warm clear blue water, sun beds and beachside bars and tavernas where you can sit right on the waters edge to eat an evening meal and watch the sun go down. We love Skopelos, we love Villa Kentravos and we will be back. Thank you for a week that has been heavenly

Stunning views and secluded location
We absolutely loved our stay. The villa was perfect for a couple, but would also fit more people. Our favourite things were definitely the view and privacy. The living room area is really big with plenty space for sitting, tv with some english channels, books you can borrow for a beach, wifi etc. You will appreciate working air conditioning in the bedroom as well as fully equipped kitchen. We enjoyed the swimming pool that was deep enough to jump into. The island itself was absolutely stunning. Great beaches (Hovolo our favourite), fantastic food and shops open till late (which was often a problem for us when renting a self catering villa). The owner was nice enough to let us stay a few hours longer, which was very helpful considering limited flights and ferries. The only thing we would advise is to rent a car you'd feel confident enough to park downhill on reverse with.

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.

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!
