The property was beautiful. The best of both worlds. There was the sea and there was the garden. Everything served at the restaurant came straight from the garden. They even make their own wine which is so smooth and delicious. The room was very spacious and clean. The cleaning service was very thorough. The owners are so kind and they make you feel like you’re at home - they took great care of us from helping us figure out the bus schedule to even calling the bus company for us when we were confused. They made Naxos so special for us. We were so sad to leave and we will definitely be coming back.

Nothing - this place is perfect!

Smallish basic room appropriate for the cost bracket but the beautiful, extensive grounds feature glossy, immaculately maintained shrubs and trees, along with furnished areas where guests can relax. The property also has its own little restaurant offering high quality fare in the evenings (you need to book a table in advance). It is a family run venue whose members are all equally helpful and charming.

A basic information sheet in each room would be helpful (internet code, restaurant procedure etc.).

I have a lengthy but worthwhile testimonial to share. Despite the possibility of not finding accommodations In Scala Apartments on my next visit to Naxos, I must express how much we enjoyed our stay. It felt like we were staying with family for a few days. The entire space was warm and well-maintained, with Nikos frequently making minor repairs and improvements. The apartment was the perfect size and had a balcony overlooking the sea. The surrounding area was full of greenery and various flowers, with tables and chairs placed strategically, making it even more comfortable (take a look at the photos I posted). The breakfast was excellent, featuring a wide range of high-quality products, with a few surprises every day. Eva, who prepared the meals, was delightful, making dishes with great care and attention to detail. The quality of the products was exceptional, and the cleanliness throughout the complex was always impeccable. However, what stood out the most was the exceptional hospitality we received throughout our stay, from Eva and Nikos, as well as their team. They are an amazing group of people. Eva, who manages everything in detail, is an extraordinary person with immense sensitivity and empathy, who is concerned about providing the best possible experience for her guests while also respecting their privacy. She made us feel at home. There should be more people like her in the world. Thank you, Eva and Nikos. I previously enjoyed the island and its offerings, but this time it revealed new corners, beaches, and historical aspects. The combination of mountains, beaches, and culture is perfect for me. It was easy to find peace and quiet while taking walks and diving, thanks to the island's considerable size and low population density. The locals were generally friendly and hospitable.

I couldn't help but notice the significant increase in the number of buildings since my last stay in Naxos six years ago. However, my concern lies with the fact that some of these constructions seem to have been erected in areas where building permission should not have been granted. I genuinely hope that the residents of Naxos and the authorities are aware of this unregulated expansion and are taking measures to preserve the natural beauty of this little paradise.

Everything was great. Perfect place if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing atmosphere. The owners are very kind and friendly. We felt very welcome the whole time. The room was spacious and very clean with a big terrace perfect for morning yoga sessions. Breakfast was super delicious with lots of homemade choices and fresh fruit. Even though there is a very good restaurant right around the corner (Axiotissa) we highly recommend having dinner at the hotel. This is the real Greek experience. Super delicious and fresh Greek dishes made with love! We sometimes felt like staying with a Greek family. Many beautiful beaches within a couple of minutes driving.

A mosquito net would have been nice.

From morning to night, Scala was a wonderful place to stay and Nikos and Eva are outstanding hosts. They made me feel totally at home with everything - starting from when I showed up, tired and hungry, and Eva made me something to eat on the spot even though the kitchen was closed. I loved the location - I stayed many places around Naxos and this one was my favorite. It was quiet, close to my favorite beaches on the island and near enough to the action if you wanted it. Breakfast was splendid with a variety of homemade treats, eggs from their own chickens, fruits from their own trees, local Naxian cheeses and just about anything you could possibly want. I was lucky enough to also have dinner here. Eva’s cooking is outstanding and Nikos is an expert on Naxos history and sights. I hope to return to Naxos and stay here again.

There had been recent rain and I could maybe have used a mosquito net - but then again, I don’t think I used the plug-in repellent correctly, so that was probably the issue.

Tucked behind the main road you’ll find a small group of studio apartments immersed in a garden - a gem! The studios are clean, essential and well furnished, with a small private veranda. There’s a common area with sunbeds, tables and chairs, plus ample parking. Finally the quality of the customer service is excellent, the family that runs the business is just so kind and available to help.

A beautiful family runs Scala Appartments in the idyllic scenes of Kastraki, Naxos. Our fantastic room looked out on the sea from our private quarters. The accommodation was immaculate and the grounds were beautifully kept. Eva and the family were incredibly welcoming, kind and helpful with local recommendations - the perfect hosts. We added meals to our stay which were a delight. I am a coeliac and felt so looked after and the flavour of the local Greek food was truly delicious! I can't rate the cooking highly enough.

This property is a must. Fantastic apartment extremely clean and well equipped. Nikos ans Eva are wonderful hosts making you feel welcome and relaxed. Breakfast every day is superb wonderful selection of fresh fruit yoghurt, bread pastries, eggs home made preserves, cereals and produce from their garden.

Spotless accommodation. Very good breakfast and excellent value for money. The area is very tranquil and it was lovely to sit on the balcony in the evenings . The nearest beach ( very windy but excellent for kite surfers!) is a 15 minute walk but you do need a car to access other beaches. There is an excellent Taverna a 3 minute walk away and a supermarket a 3 min drive away.

Scala Apartments is a lovely family hotel, the best ever we've tried around Greece. We wanted a calm and quiet place without noise, and that really was it. Beautiful garden with full of flowers and chilling places, tiny room with comfortable bed, a terrace with see view. Very kind people, excellent breakfast and dinner (also with homemade things).
