As an archaeologist who has been staying in the village of Ancient Corinth for 25 years, I have to say that Pegasus Rooms is really top notch. I've stayed in single-bed rooms at Pegasus during archaeology season; I've brought students who have stayed in doubles or triples; and my own family has stayed in the apartments. The experience has been consistently outstanding.
The rooms are owned and run by the Gdysis family: Nikos and Marina and their adult sons Giorgos, Tasos, and Thanos. After previously running the Gemelos Taverna at the center of the village, Nikos has slowly created a set of beautiful and modern accommodations in and around Ancient Corinth. Nikos and his family (as well as other Pegasus hotel staff) are friendly, generous, and hospitable. Nikos knows English and a host of other languages, has a rich knowledge of Ancient Corinth and the Corinthia, and is always ready to help. You will have fun getting to know him and family and staff over daily breakfast.
The primary hub of Pegasus is along a pedestrian road only a stone's throw away from the plateia of the village with easy access to restaurants, shops, pharmacy, cafes, village church, and the archaeological site. The location is usually quiet. The main location includes the Pegasus office and rooms of different sizes outfitted with 1-3 beds. A second-story covered rooftop provides lovely views of the Corinthian Gulf, Perachora peninsula, and the mountains of central Greece, and daily breakfasts with yoghurt and honey, hardboiled eggs, fresh-squeezed orange juice, meats, cheeses, breads, and filter coffee). A second building, located right around the corner from the first, includes rooms with 1-3 beds as well as apartments with multiple bedrooms. Parking is available for both of these locations. Nikos and family also own rooms and apartments (called the Acrocorinth Apartments) along the main road on the southeast end of the village. That location requires a ten-minute walk into the village.
The rooms and apartments in all locations are modern, regularly cleaned, and furnished televisions and air condition units. Rooms are situated around shaded outdoor courtyard spaces outfitted with chairs and tables and even songbirds. These are quiet and peaceful locations for conversation, coffee, reading, or meditation. Rooms are very...
Read moreFor the price, its excellent. We stayed in the small house with 2 bedrooms and a kitchin/livingroom. Bedrooms are a good size. One had a superking size bed (2 singles pushed together). The other bedroom had a single bed and a bunk bed. Bathroom looked good but had a horrible smell. Kitchin/dining room/Livingroom was very small. Ok if you dont need to stay long or are not planning to stay in the place during the day. There is also space to park a car outside the house behind a lockable garage door. Aircon in both bedrooms only. It worked well and strong enough to do the whole house. Area is very near archaeological site, worth a visit. Lots of tourist shops and taverns within a 2 mins walk. Its far from the sea so you will need a car if you plan to go to the beach or water park that is nearby as we did. We where told the water from the tap isnt drinkable, so there where a few bottles of water in the fridge but you will need to buy a lot more. There is also a washing machine, iron etc but we didnt try them. We didnt go to corinth, but went to Loutraki nearby instead. Its very nice. Corinth canal worth a picture and there is also a nice waterpark nearby. (Splash waterpark or somwthing). The breakfast is nice. They bring it to your table and its a greek continental type with greek yogurt, cake, biscuits,boiled eggs,bread, honey, jam, fresh orange juice etc. It's great if your kids don't insist on cereal as ours sadly did. Overall for the price this is a 9 out of 10. Fix the smell from the drains, and it...
Read moreWe were allocated Acrocorinth Studio 7 on a room only basis. It is part of the Pegasus rooms but on a gated site along a quiet road a couple of minutes drive away. Breakfast is available as an option on the Pegasus campus, but it would involve having to drive there or taking a 10 to 20 minute walk; so we decided to self-cater.||||Overall the accommodation was superb. At first glance the bed appeared to be spacious, but it was actually two single bedframes with two mattresses shoved together. MIlk sachets were supplied -an item not always offered in Greek accommodations. Tea was not included and the coffee was minimal. Fridge available.||||There was a "private" patio area with table and chairs. But the resident tabby pussy cat was very persistent; if you sat down it would hop on your lap; if you stood up it would rear up on its hind legs and sink its claws in to the back of your trousers. Because it needed constant shooing away, we didn't sit out on the patio. Instead we took the chairs behind the property, up some steps, and sat by the car park -a pleasant sunny spot affording great views over to the Gulf of Corinth.||||The room was serviced and parking was excellent.||||The lady who welcomed us was...
