Fabulous relaxing week
Everything about our stay was just brilliant . The location was so peaceful but still in the middle of the island so was really central for getting to all the different beaches. Perfect for a couple or small family and the swimming pool is a great size and really refreshing after a day at the beach. Would definitely recommend!

Stunning views
If you are looking for a tranquil and peaceful get away from it all, this villa is perfect! Fabulous views, no noise apart from the occasional jangle of goat bells, lush greenery and a wonderful aroma from the many gorgeous plants around the totally private pool.

Perfect 🤩
A beautiful little hideaway in a perfect location. Stunning views . Peaceful with only the goats bells jingling in the evening coming down from the hills. Fabulous pool . The villa provides everything you need for a perfect stay. Comfortable bed, loads of hot water for shower ,great bbq . Dimitris, our host, was marvellous. We had a few hiccups with ferries being cancelled but Dimitris sorted everything out for us and made our journey so easy. Can’t recommend highly enough, so only problem was that we had to leave and come home. Already looking to book for next year .

Delightful villa on Skopelos
Our stay at Villa Pegasus was wonderful. Villa Pegasus is a traditional villa. Nothing new or glitzy but everything you need is there and it all works. Unexpectedly, laundry was changed in the middle of our stay. The pool is a delight in the afternoon and evening. I recommend a car or scooter. Villa Pegasus is for two people. More could fit but I would find it harder. Demitris is a wonderful host with excellent, fast communication. Anything we needed was sorted immediately.

One more reward for us, a great holiday for our customers! It is very important for us to communicate what is to be expected from our guests with regards to our houses, Pegasus, Kentavros and Arktos. We want to offer relaxation, the natural beauty of the landscape with great views down the gulf of Skopelos town and we certainly want to make sure that everything is running smoothly, without disturbing. Thank you Jonathan!

great little hideaway
as a family of three (baby of 4 months), we really enjoyed having our own space with a pool. The bedroom upstairs was a perfect size for us, Dimitris kindly provided us with a cot which was great. Great location, you can get to most places on the island within 30 minutes by car.

Beautiful rustic house
We had a brilliant 10 days in Skopelos. Pegasus has the most incredible views from the upstairs bedroom, living area and kitchen and is so peaceful. We loved chilling by the pool in the morning and then driving to one of the many beaches for the late afternoon. In the evening we sat by the pool star gazing and watching the bats. Dimitris was really helpful organising our hire car and arranging for us to be met at the port. We hadn't realised that the towels and sheets would be changed twice during our stay plus the bins emptied for us which was a nice surprise. We definitely needed a car as you can't walk out anywhere, but this wasn't a problem as we enjoy exploring when we're on hols. Perfect house with or without kids.

It is so rewarding for us to see that our guests enjoy what our houses have to offer! Peace and quiet, away from it all, with great views down the gulf od Skopelos town and yet only ten minutes away from Skopelos town and the nearest beaches. Thank you Emma for being our guests!!

Pegasus villa
Beautiful one bedroom rustic villa in an elevated position looking out onto skopelos town and port. 10 minutes drive down into the port to the tavernas , supermarket and ferry. We were picked up from the ferry by Kosmas and arrived at the villa to find water and a complimentary bottle of wine perfectly chilled. We hired a scooter which Dimitris organised for us 88 Euros for the week. It’s the best way to see the Island and the roads are good and quiet during June. Peek season is July and August so we felt really lucky to stay during June. The pool is heavenly and was cleaned part way through the week of our stay, we also had fresh sheets and towels delivered and the villa was freshened up for us. Dimitris is always quick to answer any queries regarding the villa and although he wasn’t on the island during our stay he made sure we were well looked after. We had WiFi so it was easy to research places we wanted to visit, would highly recommend trip advisor as we wanted to book a sailing trip and the reviews for BBQ sailing trip on the boat Lilly owned and conducted by Juan is advertised amongst the boats in the port was true to its word , an amazing experience. All the beaches are breathtakingly beautiful Everyone on the island speaks good English and are happy to give directions or helpful information I would recommend you take a wireless speaker that way it’s easy to stream music whilst basking on your sunbed or swimming in the pool. Skopelos is truly beautiful in every way and the villa allows you to experience the peace and tranquility. Ferry times to Skiathos for our flight home weren’t good as we had to leave very early but the managers at the port tavernas are happy to hold your luggage and call a taxi for you when it’s time to leave for the airport which is 5 minutes away. Wishing we were still there and taking home some wonderful memories. Many thanks to Dimitris and his team We will be back! Georgina and David 4/6/19-11/6/19

Charming farmhouse style villa
We stayed at Villa Pegasus for two weeks Sept/Oct. The villa is really charming with an authentic feel and ideal for a couple that want to get away from it all, as it set up in the hills about 10/15 mins from Skopelos town. I would highly recommend a Jeep/ 4x4 if you stay at this property as there is a fairly steep/rocky access to the villa. The surroundings are wonderful and on a clear night sitting on the patio/terrace the sky is amazing. Dimitris the owner is excellent in all aspects of communication from the initial booking through to any problems/issues that might arise and are quickly resolved. The villa is well serviced with a regular change of towels and linen. It is close to one of our favourite beaches Limnonari and also close to the fantastic fish tavernas at Aganondas where you can sit and watch the wonderful sunsets with lovely fresh fish, a greek salad and a bottle of wine . We would also recommend the sunset kayaking trip with Kayaking Skopelos, which was amazing and Nikos and Dora at WindBoat Rentals who are a great couple with really great well maintained boats. Thank you Dimitris for all your assistance we had a thoroughly enjoyable time even if the weather was rather challenging for a few days of our stay.

Comfortable villa,quiet location, stunning views of surrounding countryside and Skopelos town..
The villa itself is in an idyllic location and presented in the typical traditional Greek style in doors and out. It is reasonably well equipped but lacking a toaster in the kitchen, which we missed. Pillows on the bed were soft which is a bonus compared to many other places we have stayed in Greece. The pool was adequate for a cool down dip after roasting in the sun, water surprisingly cold a bit of a shock on first dip, but did the job of a prompt cool down. The property and outdoor area generally appeared a bit tired and in need of TLC. The location of the villa means you loose the late afternoon and evening sun, this will obviously vary on time of year. We were there in September so the villa and garden/pool area was in complete shade by 16.30hrs. The only thing which ruined it for us which was no fault of the owner were the wasp. We only spent 2 days out of 14 lounging by the pool. We were plagued and swarmed by wasp which were worse in the mornings and late afternoon/evening. Couldn't enjoy sitting outside and couldn't leave doors open or they entered the villa, they seemed to swarm around front door and shaded sitting area. The owner was very helpful and got someone to put traps down but these did not make much difference. Don't know if it was just a bad time of year for wasps, we were there September, or if there is a nest nearby it seems the pool attracts them as well. We went out all the other days to escape them. You definitely need a car to explore the Island. There are lots of quiet secluded beaches to be found other than the popular commercial beaches, but a bit of a hair raising drive to get to some of them due to the steep mountainous narrow windy roads, both tarmac and dirt tracks but worth it, beautiful quiet beaches with crystal clear water. Lots of shrines at the road sides which is a bit disconcerting, so take it as a warning to drive carefully! Loved Skopelos town, nice nights out exploring all the restaurants which serve traditional Greek and Mediterranean cuisine, these are mostly hidden away from the harbour front up the cobbled streets. Best ones are Perivoli, To Rodi, Olivio and Alexanders. Anna's is also nice but slow service. All are reasonably priced. Good cocktail bar at harbour front only 5 euros each. Everyone very friendly and accommodating and generally all speak English. Overall we had a fantastic time and Skopelos is a beautiful not over commercialized Island with or without wasps!

What a pity! Our role is to do everything in our power to assist our guests so that they have a truly memorable holiday. Ever since our first contact, up to the day of their departure, we mean to be there for them any time they ask for our assistance. I understand that due to her fineness Karen didn’t want to worry us, but this is what we are here for. The truth is that this year we had plenty of wasps, but all we had to do is put traps on a daily basis. Concerning the toaster, it would have been so simple to just buy one. Regarding the shade, I understand that we might need to trim the trees so that we can ensure more sunshine throughout the entire terrace around the pool during September. Thank you both for your constructive comments and hope to have you back in the future.

Beautiful villa in a perfect away from it all location but just close enough to Skopelos town
Pegasus is a beautiful villa set in the side of a steep valley overlooking Skopelos. Despite there being two other villas nearby you almost wouldnt know it and the peace and quiet is only disturbed by the steady ringing of goats bells as they wander the forest in the valley below and occasionally are herded along the road above. Villa facilities are great although a barbecue would be a welcome addition and the pool is perfectly sized for two people although being on the north side of the valley the sun goes off the pool and terrace by about 5 o' clock. Located midway between Skopelos and Agnondas its perfectly positioned to explore the island. The villa was kept spotlessly clean during our atay with towel linen and pool service every 3 days. We would certainly consider returning to Pegasus in the future

Charming house
Communication with the owner was great, very polite and helpful. Charmingly decorated and a great space for a romantic getaway, nice colours and style, comfy bed. The house is located in a great location, very quiet, on a high spot that offers beautiful views of Skopelos town. Now for the negative points, the pool was not properly cleaned for our arrival, lots of leaves, soil, dead insects etc, not inviting at all. We were told by the person who showed us into the property that we could clean it ourselves with the skimmer during our stay, wish it was at least clean to begin with. As mentioned on previous reviews, the property is surrounded by trees and plants which definitely need a proper trimming, gardening, landscaping to make it presentable, this will also help in having a bit more sun on the outside area which is in shade after early afternoon. The private drive to the property is well lit, it would be good to even the road and remove a few large stones. Skopelos is a very green and beautiful island, worth visiting.

A perfect time !
For our second time on the island we decided to get a bit away from the village. We’re really happy with our stay at Dimitris' house, which is perfect for a couple indeed, very quiet, perfectly equipped, with a wonderful view to the valley all the way to the sea. We found the best feature is the upstairs room, where we slept perfectly with no need to turn on the air conditioning as the temperature at night gets a bit cooler at the house than in the village. The house is located on the northern side of the valley, which makes it perfect to lounge in the morning. Like previous visitors, we experienced some troubles with wasps – but as anywhere else on the island expect in the village. We are especially grateful to Dimitris who was extremely helpful in organizing everything including transportation and scooter rentals. We had a perfect time!

A wonderful stay in a perfect location on the island
We're a family with 2 sons 6 years old. They were very good in a safe house and a beautiful pool, comfortable for a swim before and after life on the beach. Villa is equipped with all household appliance you need on holiday, the location is strategic to reach beaches on the both sides. The quiet guarantees a restful holiday and the owner Dimitris is a perfect example of customer assistance, he's always available to help you or give you suggestions to enjoy Skopelos in the best way. We suggest villa for a wonderful holiday both for a couple or a family and Dimitris is a warranty!

It's an honor to be able to assist our guests in every possible way, in order for them to organize their trip in detail and enjoy their stay on our island overall! The location is beneficiary due to the fact that it is close to the beaches and Skopelos town, resting 900 meters away from Foteini's tavern and at the same time enjoying the privacy with peace of mind in a tranquil environment. Thank you Alessia and we would be truly happy to have you back!

Great stay and beautiful location
We spent 1 week at Dimitris' villa, 2 adults and 2 kids , 12 & 14. The villa is well positioned with a nice view on Skopelos harbour. It took us less than 20 min to get to the town or to the best beaches of the island. The villa is cosy with a nice and warm pool where you can have barbecues. Dimitris has been very proactive in getting us around and what was needed when we checked in. Villa was very clean . Be careful when driving the last 50 mts to the villa since the road is not paved (suggestion for Dimitris;-)) Overall a great stay - looking forward to returning at the villa!
