Quiet setting outside Skalani

Three large, modern, comfortable residences located adjacent to (but not owned by) the Boutari winery tasting room. Plan on waking about 100 m from the winery parking lot. Beautiful view. Quiet setting, not like the craziness of Heraklion nearby. Breakfast served on the patio outside the apartment.

We had an amazing 2-night stay. The location, surrounded by vineyards and orchards, is wonderful. The breakfasts were delicious and were served on our private terrace overlooking the countryside. It is a very short drive from Knossos, and easily accessible from Heraklion, although a car is advisable.

This is a really beautiful boutique property, just a short drive into the hills from Heraklion. The welcome was well organised and so friendly. The breakfast was AMAZING. The setting is so pretty. It is just a short drive to Knossos Palace. The suite was very spacious and beautifully appointed. There was a good amount of space for the three of us.

Beautifully appointed rooms located right on the vineyard. Fantastic shower and large living space plus outdoor seating for a great view of the vineyard during the excellent breakfast they serve. What really made the stay memorable was the hostess Chrisi's hospitality. She was delight and so helpful when we had any questions or needed anything. Thanks Chrisi! Would definitely stay there again. Also the wine is very good, worth picking up a bottle!

The property is quiet and the views are amazing! The location is great bc it is close to Knossos and middle of wine country. It is next to the Winery which we were able to have a wine tasting and cooking class. Breakfast is served outside and really great! The staff for both winery and property is so friendly and helped us get taxis bc we didn’t have a car. High recommend!
