3 Bedroom House in Skaleta

The building and location
The new fully-equipped villa 140 τ.μ. decorated in minimalistic design and paying tribute to tradition and the natural environment is located on the hillside of the north coast of Rethymno, in an area called Scaleta. Scaleta is 13km away from the center of Rethymno in the east. The house is only 230 m away from Scaleta beach. The ideal location of the villa with a panoramic view to the gulf of Rethymno and Chania offers tranquility and relaxation to its tenants. Our guests can enjoy the Cretan sun ¸taste the fresh vegetables of the organic garden, explore nature around the area and entertain at the same time.
Enjoy your cup of coffee or taste the excellent traditional Cretan cuisine in the tavern next to the beach, while feeling the ocean breeze, listening to the sound of the sea and taking joy in the view of the Cretan sunset. Have a swim in the fantastic beach of Scaleta or in the crystal clear waters of Geropotamos beach, and spillies nearby.
The house was built with materials friendly to nature and humans in order to improve his bioclimatic behavior and healthy stay.The external hand-formed luteinizing plasters ensure breathability of materials and reconciliation with the colors of the surrounding. In the interior, the technique of the hand-formed pressed mortar under which the walls are made offers intimacy and warmth to anyone who decides to experience it!
Natural, warm and earthly materials cover both the internal and external floor as well as the pergola in front of the living room, a place where you can find pleasure in having your breakfast or relaxing, while watching the idyllic sunset. The large openings of the living room allow nature to "penetrate" the building giving the impression that the tradition speaks to contemporary life. During the mild winter of Crete, you can delight in the warmth of the energy-generating fireplace and relax under the sound of the olive logs crackling in it.
The apartment is perfectly situated in a place to access easily the lovely beaches and to explore all the other interesting sites that central Crete has to offer.
Its location is terrific for visiting the whole central region of this beautiful island, where the real Cretan spirit is hidden!
The apartment is tastefully decorated, spotlessly clean and relaxing to spend time in.
While entering the house there is an open area, consisting of a huge living room with 2 sofas, a fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen. On the left side, there is an area designed as a study with a library, a sofa and a table-desk with laptop for your needs. The porch under the pergola is designed to offer direct view to the sea. It is a comfortable and shaded place to relax while enjoying the sunset every evening.
On the same floor there is a bathroom with a shower and a bedroom with 2 beds, which can be transformed to a double one if needed. This room has a large balcony with view to the east side of the house. There is a vegetable garden in front of the balcony, where you can taste home-grown vegetables.
The large master bedroom, which has its own wc, is on the sub-layer, higher than the rest of the house, with a view to the east garden, too.
The house can accommodate 5 people in beds and up to 7 people, (a sofa bed easily converted into a 2 bed if necessary), or 3 adults and 4 children aged 6-12 years.
Baby cot and high chair for lunch is available on request.
Independent heating system and 3 air conditioning units.

Summary: Litsa’s home is even more beautiful than the photos and she is the most welcoming and helpful hostess. We could not have asked for anything and her amazing casserole and garden bounty was icing on a delicious cake!

Summary: Lovely, spacious house close to the main road across the island, but remaining peaceful and secluded. Very clean, with a well-equipped kitchen and effective air conditioning. Litsa left fruit and vegetables from her garden in the fridge (and more during our stay) and we were delighted after a long day's travelling to find a pastitsio awaiting us in the oven. Litsa was happy to provide us with information about any aspect of our stay in Crete. The house is even better than the photographs suggest and we wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Summary: Litza, the owner of the house is the most intelligent and delicate owner I have ever seen. We were amazed by the hospitality and warmth during our stay. The whole atmosphere was very warm. we felt like home. The location is very good for sightseeing in central Crete. The beach in Skaleta is not quite good, so we took the advice from Litza and visited other beaches. The house was amazing. Very cozy, clean and comfortable.

Summary: This accommodation is truly amazing. There is so much space, inside and out with a beautiful bbq area, and there is everything you could possibly need within it. Litsa made us so welcome and shared her home gown produce with us from a lasagne prepared for our first night to ensuring that we had an abundance of tomatoes, figs, oranges, green peppers and aubergines. I haven't stayed in a more lovely place.

Summary: I can’t say enough about this beautiful house and Litsa’s hospitality. The price is extremely reasonable for what you get. The description and photos on HomeAway.com are accurate—but it’s even better in real life. We especially wanted to relax outdoors, and were not disappointed. The outdoor patios are comfortable and gorgeous for eating, reading, visiting, yoga, etc. The landscaping is well planned and beautiful, providing lovely nature and privacy. This house is in a rural residential area, and a car is required. We loved it because it’s in the middle of the island, making our adventures all over Crete convenient. We loved the quaint setting, including a pasture across the street with a herd of sheep that wore bells around their necks, and herding dogs that moved the sheep to different areas. We stayed for 12 days, and every single day was fabulous. This home is large and artfully furnished, decorated and arranged. Every comfort and need is available (kitchen dishes, utensils, modern appliances, good linens, lovely bathrooms, etc.). The house is ideal for 4 people, but can accommodate more. There are actually 2 bedrooms plus a study that can sleep one or two people, but is open to the living room. The living room couch can also be used for sleeping. We would have appreciated the bathroom showers to have an overhead hook for a stand-up shower, as we have in America, but this is not a complaint—most showers in Greece are hand-held for water conservation. We had a stray cat that slept on the lovely white patio cushions leaving dirty paw prints, which we felt bad about it; but there are cats all over Greece that are adopted by all, and that is a wonderful thing in my opinion. While the house itself is fabulous, the best of all is its owner Litsa. She is truly exemplary! She welcomed us with wonderful fresh vegetables from the garden, a delicious homemade meal, preserves, breads, and every comfort we might need. She gave us valuable tips on what to see and do—things we would not know otherwise—and every piece of advice we took was a wonderful experience. Litsa is a dear, hard working, truly genuine, wonderful person. I can’t imagine a better experience, and we are all very thankful and feel honored to know her.

Summary: We spent a wonderful week in this beautiful home. Litsa made us feel so welcome and she was exeptionally generous giving us an opportunity to sample local produce and allowing us to gather vegetables from her extensive garden. Litsa also gave us very useful information on places to visit but a week is nowhere near long enough to explore this lovely island. This is not your average holiday rental. It is a beautifully maintained and appointed home with every convenience.

Summary: We had a pleasant stay in this house. We ´ve been very well received by Litsa. She gave us a lot of vegetables. The house is spacious and equiped to cook (except dishwasher). The area is quiet. Skaleta is a central situation to visit. Thanks again to Litsa.

Summary: Very cozy and well-endowed house. Friendly hostess cooked delicious treats and gave vegetables grown in the garden. Location of the house in walking distance from the sea. Everything was wonderful. The only correction: the house is suitable for comfortable accommodation 4, not 5 people.
