Holiday rentals with a patio in Skaleta

This was one of the nicest AirBnB apartments I have rented. What was responsive to questions prior to the trip, arranging taxi service from the airport. Even though our flight was two hours late and we didn't arrive until 10 pm she was there to greet us and show us the apartment. Her restaurant recommendations were outstanding. Finally, the location on the outskirts of Old Town Rethymno could not have been better. I enthusiastically recommend this place!

The place is really nice and located right next to the old town which starts as soon as you cross the main road. We used Chania as our base to explore different parts of Crete but at the end of each day when we came back, we were able to enjoy some time in the old town which gets really lively in the evenings. Later at night, we would hang out at our Airbnb and enjoy the surrounding views which were great as it is located on the top floors.

A very nice apartment with everything you need. Right on the beach. View from the balcony is simply fantastic, we enjoyed having breakfast there every morning. The car could be parked easily on the street. Would book the apartment again at any time without ifs and buts.

If you’re trying to decide, just book it! This was probably my favorite place in Greece that we stayed. Great location, wonderful terrace. Well equipped kitchen. Lots of little extras that made us feel at home like creamer for coffee, toast with jam and honey. Wash machine was a bonus. Great communication. Would book again without hesitation!

Pretty nice, modern and clean. You have to take some minutes to get to the center.

Lovely spot right next to the water! Great layout and it was a dream to wake up to the sounds of the ocean. Highly recommend!

Gorgeous hotel right in the old town. The room was really big and well decorated, with a nice little balcony. All very newly done and very clean. Breakfast was tasty as well. Would love to stay again. Only issue we had was the aircon, as the room was large the aircon did not do anything to cool it down which made it hard to sleep. Would rather have had a fan.

We had a great time in this apartment, comfortable, clean and well equipped. The terrace is great and the views are wonderful. We were warmly welcomed and our host was very responsive and kind. We'll be back with great pleasure.

The villa is good, but not very clean and not maintained very well (door handle broke, the shower hole was clogged). The pool is great and shared with the other condo's and villa. There wasnt a problem with the host, but he doesnt go the further step to communicate with you. The communication is very basic. The location is ok, about 20 minutes walk from the main port, 3 minutes walk from the nearest beach, but the beach is not very nice. The only main problem is that the double beds are small, and not very comfortable for 2 adults. Over-all for the price, this place is good.

This was the best AirBnb I've ever stayed at, and it really made our trip to Crete. Maria was an A+ host. She was extremely responsive and helpful and pointed us to all of the best beaches and restaurants. The house is in immaculate condition, very clean, and very spacious, and is only 10 minutes from downtown Chania. Thank you for everything, Maria!

We had a wonderful two weeks at this rental. Sthatis and Alexandra were fantastic hosts, very responsive and accommodating. The house is exactly like the photos (minus the hanging chairs- but they were not missed). It is ade up of two separate apartments each with 2 bedrooms. It is well equipped and gets the most beautiful sunsets, perfect for an evening barbeque . If you wish to explore the island you will definitely need a car but it is wonderfully located between many of the islands attractions and accessible from both airports. The lovely maid (whose name I cannot remember- sorry!) attended twice. We had some unusual weather while we were there, including a sandstorm which coated the entire area in dust, but Stathis and Alexandra had organised the following day to have the outdoor areas cleaned and the pool water serviced so that we could use the facilities, which we were very impressed by. Overall it was a fantastic choice and we would recommend it to anybody considering staying

Theo’s apartment is absolutely beautiful place to stay right in the heart of the old city - we had an amazing stay and thoroughly recommend. Theo was a brilliant host, the personal welcome and flexible check in and check out made us feel right at home even after a long journey. The apartment is beautifully equipped and finished, with comfortable living area, well equipped kitchen and lovely bedrooms with lots of storage. The roof terrace is stunning, catching the sun all day with lots of comfortable furniture. The location is perfect for food and shopping in the heart of the old city, with stunning sea swimming locations a short walk away. We had a wonderful stay, Theo was awesome and the overall cost was good value for money.

What a beautiful home! We had such a great time we can’t wait to be back. Lots of privacy, surrounded by nature and a short walk from the beach. The house provided everything one could wish for, a comfortable bed, very well thought out kitchen with everything in the right place, a lovely bathroom, good A/C, the whole place is very tastefully designed… but the highlight was the terrace! Shaded, private, we enjoyed the hammock and the sound of crickets while gazing at the sea. Christos was an excellent host, extremely responsive, helpful and always nice and warm to us. We were also welcomed with wine, fruits and even groceries left by the owner, which made us feel at home right away! Not to mention all the delicious treats. Truly phenomenal stay, thank you again!

Our stay at Antonios's went very well. The accommodation is very clean, well-equipped and matches the photos well. Despite an autonomous arrival, Antonios was very attentive, he is a quality host. It takes 30 minutes on foot to reach the historic center, but buses pass right next to the apartment. There is also a small supermarket next door, convenient for shopping. In conclusion, we recommend this accommodation in all sincerity.

Beautiful, peaceful, so thoughtfully decorated. A great AirBnB stay. Walkable to many shops and restaurants but off the beaten path for privacy and quiet. Amazing view of the sea. Hosts went above and beyond to help me find the location and get me settled. Would recommend to anyone staying in this area!

Wow what a place! Stunning location and beautiful villa. Manto was the perfect host going above and beyond expectations, from the steady supply of wine to a home cooked lamb dinner in the wood stove one night; honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. A lovely experience all round and can’t wait to return.

A big thank you to Konstantinos and Stelina for providing a beautiful apartment for their guests. We were delighted with the layout of the rooms, very modern with floor-to-ceiling windows, a kitchen where nothing was missing (even a salad spinner and a measuring cup were there!) and with a comfortable bed. Towels are changed every 3rd day and linens are changed every 5th day, real luxury! It smells very pleasant, thanks to the well-selected fragrance sticks. For me, a good-smelling apartment is always very important and we appreciated it as well. The balcony is airy and after 10:00 in the shade, it is pleasant to endure and the beautiful view of Souda Bay is simply magnificent. Downtown is about 10 minutes by car, so you are quickly in the center, but also quickly outside in the evening. Ideal for people who want to enjoy city life but prefer to have it a little quieter. Thank you again for everything!!

SO PERFECT! Best hosts, location and flat ever. Everything was perfect, Anastasia and John were the most caring hosts I’ve ever stayed with. Thank you for everything!!!

Loved the huge deck. Across street from beautiful beach where you could rent chairs and an umbrella and order food and drink. Walk to dozens of all kinds of different restaurants right on the “the strip” and in the old town.

Despina was a very helpful and communicative host who responded to all questions very quickly. The apartment is situated in the hills with a view of the sea. Rethymno is an easy 10 minute car journey away. It was very nice to sit outside in the evening, on the patio next to the swimming pool, and watch the sunset and the sea. The private swimming pool is small but fine for a refreshing dip after a day of exploring. The kids liked it. The apartment is a good size and includes all the equipment you would find in your house (washing machine, oven, microwave, clothes iron...). This makes it very practical. Overall it was a comfortable place to stay and a convenient base from which to explore the area around Rethymno.

Beautiful stay! Such tasteful design, spotless home with really wonderful staff to help. The team was very responsive and had really set up the place to make it very warm. It had everything you may neeed and more! Super strong winter net too so we enjoyed working there. Loved it and would definitely suggest!

Anna was a super helpful host. We worked from her place for a week. The apartment was perfect for what we needed. It’s only a short walk into town - which is very charming. The beach across the road has crystal clear water - even if there is some debris on the sand. The road is a bit noisy - but the doors keep out the noise. Anna’s place is spacious and very well appointed with everything you could need. Thanks to Anna for the late check out as well!

Ioanna was the most incredible host we have ever had, she is very thoughtful, the apartment was great, with lots of little extras like food and beverages for us. The outside terrace is amazing, a great place to eat, relax, and hang out. The kitchen and bathroom are well stocked with everything a traveler would need. The location is close to the beach and restaurants and walkable to the old town, and also quiet. Ioanna was a great communicator and kept us well fed, arranged transportation to the airport, and quickly answered any questions I had. I highly recommend this place, and I hope that we can stay there again someday!

We stayed for one week - and the apartment matched perfectly what we wanted. The place is spacious for a family of 5 as has three bedrooms, walkable to all local attractions, beach and restaurants. The balconies are large and the view just too good. The kitchen is fully equipped, and we cooked a few times ourselves. We were welcomed in person and Maria is just the loveliest person. We felt at home immediately. The apartment was very very clean and comfortable and perfect for just hanging out when tired from walking and sightseeing. I could easily have stayed for two weeks. We received a list of recommendations as well as a recommendation for a car hire - that we followed up on. If we could give 6 stars we would have given that. And a big thank you for the late check-out as our flight was only in the evening.
