Skandalakis Homes & Apartments

Excellent apartment with a small pool. View over the ocean and 10 minutes walk to the beach. But the best was the owner. He provided us with fine suggestions for tours, fresh vegetables, olive oil and raki. This stay is the best we have experienced.

The Villa was big enough so we had enough space for everyone (we were 4 persons). The villa is located at a comfortable distance from the sea beach which can be reached in around 10 minutes walking. The host was very friendly and helped us with everything we needed. Stelios was so kind to take us to the nearest supermarket and allowed us to check out for a couple of hours later because our flight was late afternoon. We had a great vacation there and we are very grateful for that.

We were a little bit disappointed by the grilling facilities. We thought there would be a full-size electro grill but it was only a small one in the kitchen, however, in general, it was not an issue.

The property was well equipped in kitchen and having two bathrooms was very convenient for our family of four. The pool is not very big but big enough to cool you down from time to time. The owner Stelios is very friendly and gave us fresh tomatoes from his garden, located opposite of the house. The beach, is at 10min walking distance as well as mini markets and a lot of restaurants. Chania is a very nice city close bye to visit in the evening. There’s also a very nice rooftop restaurant at less then 3 minutes walking distance.

The garden isn’t that big so there’s limited room around the pool but sufficient to use the lounge chairs available. The pool is not suitable for small children.

The property is beautifully decorated and in immaculate condition. It is very well equiped and the pool is just wonderful. It is located only a few minutes walk from all the amenities and the beach. The best experience of our holiday was to meet Stelios and Aliki (the owners) who treated us like family and who made our first family trip to Crete truly unforgettable. We loved every minute and we will be back for sure!

There was nothing negative about our stay! It was the perfect holiday

Our family stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment, when we arrived, Stelios, who owns the apartments, was there to meet us, show us around and help us with any questions we had as we had never visited Crete before. The apartment was exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated, it is a 5 minute walk from the local beach, restaurants, and shops, plus the main bus route that runs to Chania. The pool is lovely, a nice size to dip in, we didn't hardly use it as we were out exploring everyday. Stelios has a garden patch at the front of the apartments, he is about most days if you need him or want any local advice, he is always happy to help and is extremely friendly, his English is very good. I would highly recommend a stay at Skandalakis Homes & Apartments, it is a good location for visiting all areas in the Chania region, I would also recommend hiring a car as there are so many beautiful places to visit.

Nothing, everything was fantastic.

The apartment was clean, comfortable and well equipped with a large balcony with a sea view. Very quiet location but only a few minutes walk from local beach, restaurants, shops and bus stop to get into Chania. Ideal base for exploring western Crete by car. Host Stelios was very friendly helpful and generous. Ideal for us and we’ll definitely be back in the future. Late September is a great time to visit- not too busy and not too hot

Nothing significant - local beach can be a bit exposed when it’s windy but there are other more sheltered bays within a couple of kilometres so not a problem for us

Such a wonderful vacation place that made our family feel like home. It’s spacious, quiet, but close to everything. The best was having our host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable.

We liked everything. The very nice hotel owner not only gave us a liter of red wine prepared by himself, but also a bottle of pure olive oil from his own production. The friendliest host in Greece so far! The rooms are brand new, comfortables and very well equipped. The owners were very nice and friendly. Waiting to come again to this excellent Hotel.

Everything was perfect
