As a group of five, we chose Skales Villas because of the exceptional outdoor space. We were not disappointed.
The pool was sensational, so clean and well kept, while the garden had plenty of spots to lounge around. There are three different areas where you can eat, one of them always in the shade, plus a wonderful BBQ area.
Inside there are 3 spacious double bedrooms (one downstairs) and more than enough space in the living room and kitchen. The bedrooms had AC which was well needed. The smart TV had Netflix / Amazon / Disney etc.
The villa is also well placed to get to the beach, a 2 min car drive or 15 min walk, and there are enough restaurants, cafes and tavernas close by that you can leave the car at the villa to enjoy that all important last Metaxa! Driving in to Acharavi for supplies is also very easy.
Food wise, we liked Petra Beach Bar (take some Mozzie spray though), Woody's (we rated this as the best atmosphere) and Maistro (this provided us with our best meal...the lamb kleftiko was sensational).
The owner was easy to contact and also checked in on us to see if all was well. Plus the villa was cleaned and towels changed mid-way through which was a nice touch.
The villa is just off a main road so there is some car noise, not that it worried us at all. We were too busy having fun.
