Offering a garden, Scalarea Estate Residences offers accommodation in Skalánion. Heraklio Town is 9 km from the property.

The accommodation features a satellite flat-screen TV. Some units are air conditioned and include a seating and/or dining area. There is a private bathroom with a shower in every unit. Towels and bed linen are featured.

The place was immaculate. Clean and stunningly beautiful. There are only 3 cottages but I think that night, my husband and I were the only guests. We loved the peaceful setting and appreciated all the details that the owner put into it. Breakfast was delicious! This was our favorite place in Crete. We would highly recommend a stop there on your way to nearby Knossos palace or Heraklion.

This property offers access to a balcony, table tennis, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides full-day security and luggage storage space for guests.

Had a lovely 12 night stay at Villa Harmony. The accommodation was exactly as per the pictures. Large comfortable beds, each bedroom with its own ensuite, good aircon, and everything that we needed for a relaxing holiday. The pool area was great, with comfortable sun loungers. The sun would be over the pool all morning, until 2-3pm, which was fine for us. Our teenage sons used the gym daily and thought it was very well equipped. We didn't however use the sauna or hot tub. There are a few tavernas walkable form the villa, which were all good. A couple of small supermarkets also. We had a rental car, which was good for exploring towns, beaches and eating places further afield. Giorgos was great and communicated all the hand over procedure in advance of our stay, which was good, and was in contact throughout our stay, to check if we needed anything. The owners (Marko and Zoe?) were lovely and lived in the large house a couple of doors away. From time to time, they dropped fresh fruit and veg round, but didn't invade our privacy at all. We all had a great time here and would highly recommend.

    Everything about this place was amazing. The villa is very well appointed and has all mod cons. Giorgos, who manages the property for the owners, couldn't have been more helpful. The owner herself popped in with some fresh fruit and homemade pie, which was just lovely. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

    Quiet countryside location 15min from airport. The studio has all amenities for a comfortable stay, and the taverna on the village square a large choice of excellent and low-priced dishes. Check-in is easy, and the owners spoil you with a small bottle of raki, and might bring you some self made sweets or garden fruit as well.

    Eleni made us feel right at home at this wonderful place, beautifully located in a rural area between Knossos and the lovely village of Archanes. We were given organic oranges fresh from the garden, they tasted delicious! Nothing like the too perfectly looking oranges we buy from the supermarket at home. Her own produce olives were very tasty as well. A pity we could not stay longer...

    Our family of 4 had a pleasant stay at Eden Garden Villa. The room was clean and well equipped. It’s very quiet and cool in the evenings. Eleni was a wonderful host and was always on hand to help out if needed. There are a couple of villages nearby with nice traditional tavernas in pleasant settings.

    Room is the downstairs area with added kitchenette and shower room, with it's own terrace, in a big villa surrounded by olive and orange trees. The owners are extremely pleasant, had basic supplies including coffee, salt and pepper and pasta for a meal back up. There was a screen door on the terrace door so you could leave door open for ventilation if desired though there were also fans available.
