Skales Villas

Excellent stay in Skales Villa for 10 days in August 2024 (2 adults, 2 children). Spotlessly clean (cleaner came 3 times during our stay which was great!) and Villa had all the amenities are provided for a lovely stay in Corfu. We loved the swimming pool at the Villa and also the local beach was fantastic (peaceful and unbelievable sunset viewing spot, walkable in 10-15 minutes). Villa was also close to lots of nearby shops / supermarkets (only a few minutes in a car) so very convenient location for all your needs. Only suggestion would be that the bathrooms could be updated as they looked a little bit tired compared with the rest of the property which is all very nicely furnished. The property is also on a relatively busy main road so there is a bit of noise from that (we just put music on by the pool so it didn’t really bother us). Owner was also very responsive to communications and always contactable (fixing things / providing recommendations) which was great.

Villa is 10 minute walk to nearest beach and 20 to town centre. Has everything you need. Could do with a little love, fridge door was rusty as was some radiators and the bath plughole was blocked so the bath filled up as you had a shower. Pool area is great. Road noise was an issue for us.

In line with other reviews, the Villa is exactly as described and everything you need for a relaxing holiday in Corfu. Beds are super comfy and the outside area and pool is large and well kept. Whilst a car is useful for supermarket visits and excursions, the villa is well located to visit restaurants in Acharavi (25 mins walk) and Almyros (15 mins walk). It is also only 5 mins walk to the lovely local beach. Host is helpful and easy to contact from first booking to departure.

A wonderful experience from booking to departure and what an amazing house. Perfect pool and 5min from perfect beach we had an amazing time Lovely welcome basket and toiletries too! Host super helpful Highly recommend

We have just returned from our stay at Villa Skales (17th - 27th June). We had a really great week together with three older teenagers. The villa was lovely - clean, fresh and welcoming, it was nicely furnished and the layout worked perfectly for us (open plan, with a good kitchen and seating area). It was equipped with everything and more that we would have needed. The air conditioning in the bedrooms was welcome, and it was really appreciated that Martha came to clean (fresh towels etc) twice whilst we stayed. The gardens around the villa are beautiful and really made the stay - we enjoyed using the two outside eating areas & outdoor kitchen - and the pool and the sun bed area were great for us all. The villa is not overlooked and is surrounded by greenery and trees - it is well set back from the sometimes busy road at the front and the connecting villa is discretely screened from the gardens. We walked and used Petra's Cocktail Bar's beach sunbeds in Almiros each day (free if you are a customer at the bar/restaurant). We had very good meals at all of the local taverna's we visited which were within walking distance from the villa. We had hired a car, which was good to see more of the island, and handy for supermarket trips, but other than that, we were able to walk everywhere. Thank you again for a really relaxing break.
