we have just returned from a 14nt holiday at the Renieri apts,and its not nearly as bad as you have read,we were pleased by our tiny clean room that was basic but ok for what we paid,as we have paid more for a lot worse,so if you like greece and you love kefeloniaskala,then dont worry,as we have been back to the same resort 8 times over 5 years,and we have just booked for a week back at the Renieri on the 2nd september 08 so if it was that bad then we wouldnt be going back!
Its in a fab,basic place, you are about a 4 to 5 minutes walk from the sea front,and about 2 to 3 mins from the resort,its cleaned twice weekly.
The only thing l would say is that you ask for a 1st floor room with a balcony if you can get it,but even the
ground floor rooms seemed nice.
We normally stop at the makis studioes at the top of the town,but we had a really nice time staying here.
Dont be put off by the reports you read if you want top notch,then pay for it,but if you want a good basic apartment to kip in and have a cuppa and shower in the morning then go for it. 
If its a big kitchen with all the utensills and matching plates,cups etc dont go!

just returned from renieris apps....they are what they are.basic dont expect anything other than that..location is fantastic,no pool but your across from big village and can use the pool there but if you are after a bit of luxury then stay at the village their rooms are large by greek standards but if its budget your after then the reneris are just fine due to the location

 I have recently returned from a weeks holiday in Skala. I had a lovely holiday and would definately go back but I would not recommend the Renieri apartments. I had to clean the bathroom as soon as I got there as it was pretty dirty. I was staying on  the ground floor even though when I booked the holiday, my only request was to NOT be on the ground floor. The dog that lives next door, barked and whimpered right outside my door in the early hours of most mornings.  The location of the apartments is great, only a few minites walk to the beach, shops and restaurants. Maybe I'm getting old but I think next time I'd rather pay a bit more and have somewhere nicer to sleep!

We have just got back from these apartments they are great if you want good basic accommodation that is near everything you need on holiday. Nearest supermarket and bakery 4 mins walk. Good variety of tavernas and bars 4 mins walk. The beautiful beach about a 6 min walk. You obviously have to take into account you will be walking at a leisurely pace as Skala is so realxing and a lovely resort to be in. Other comments before about dogs and traffic did worry me but these worries were put to rest as soon as were going to sleep on our first night. No real noise that would annoy us in room 24.
 
I would give these apartments the thumbs up if you are looking for a relaxing holiday, with good basic accomodation to make your breakfast, have a shower and to put your head down at night. The towels and linen were changed once in the week, the bins could of been emptied more often, but no real problem as there is a main bin outside so you can get rid of your rubbish easily enough. Air conditioning is €5 per day which we thought was quite good and you can pay and get the controller from the lady who lives beneath the apartments if your rep forgets!
 
I just wish i was still in Skala, i will definitely be returning as the island is just breath taking!

Just back from Kef and stayed at the Renieri apartments again as we liked them last year. This year they have had air conditioning installed and generally been freshened up. Only disappointment was although the apartment was cleaned regularly, our linen and towels were only changed twice during the fortnight we stayed and the final time they were changed was on the day before we left! Otherwise, very happy with accomodation - basic but adequate.

We have just returned from a great two week stay at these apartments.  I was really worried after reading all the bad reports about these apartments.  We stayed in apt 21, which is right at the front of the building, yes there was noise from the passing traffic and the locals shouting (lady opposite in the white and green house) but after a day or so you got used to it.  We also licked the little seating area outside which was made to feel a little bit more private with the cleaverly placed plants.

Our apartments was cleaned every other day and the beding and towels changed, the cleaning lady is lovely, but speaks very little english.  There was also air conditioning in the apartments, which was a god send on some of the nights.
 
We would definatley stay at these apartments again, they were in just the right place for easy access to everything you could need for a really nice holiday.
 
If you are going away shortly, i wish you a happy holiday

I have just returned from a week at the Renieri apartments. I read all the other comments before I went and tried to change the booking. However, myself and my boyfriend only paid £150 each, and thought that if they were really that bad, then we could always move. I was terrified having read all the comments on this website.

However, they were 100% fine. Yes, it was all a bit basic, but it was clean enough and the location was excellent, and I find what has been said before grossly over-exaggerated. The beach is literally a 2 minute walk away. Our towels and sheets were changed every two days, and there was a dryer outside for beach towels. We were in app. 20, so didn't have our own balcony, but there was a chair/table and we were quite happy there. There were plates and knives etc (perfect for the odd sandwich), and a very large fridge. I'm not sure I would stay there again, but for a budget holiday they're absolutely fine. Skala is gorgeous, and if you'd rather save on the accommodation and spend more money in resort, then I would stay there. The only disappointment was the Rep – bit useless but nice enough!

NB. The restaurants are all superb. Our favourite was Nufaro. Absolutely brilliant food and the waiters were uber-firendly. The Pines and Mi-Abeli were also really good.

Skala has beautiful beaches and is very relaxing.  Unfortunately the accommodation was a let down.  Described as in a quiet location by Olympic, but so far from it.  It is on one of the main roads leading into the resort with lorries, construction vehicles, tractors and coaches passing down the road at all times of the night.  

The accomodation was in a very poor state of cleanliness when we arrived and we purchased cleaning products to give it the once over.  We also lost water for 2 days running including our last night a nd had to hang around to wait for it to come back on. It was a disappointment, but Skala is a lovely place for relaxing on fantastic beaches, its is quiet and the locals are friendly.

JUST ARRIVED BACK FROM THE BEAUTIFIL ISLAND OF KEFALONIA.WE WERE IN APARTMENT 33.THE ROOMS WERE VERY SPACIOUS TWO GOOD SIZED BEDROOMS AND TWO BALCONYS. THE SIDE BALCONY OFFERED A WONDERFUL VIEW OF THE MOUNTAIN, AND THE LARGER BALCONY GAVE SPECTACULAR VIEWS OF THE SEA AND THE SURROUNDING AREA. THE LOCATION WAS EXCELLENT, SHOPS TAVERNAS AND THE BEACH WERE ONLY MINUTES AWAY. THE ROOMS WERE CLEANED REGULARLY AND YES THERE WAS SOME OCCASIONAL TRAFFIC NOISE AND DOGS BARKING (BUT DOGS BARK HERE DON'T THEY!?!). OVERALL A BIG THUMBS UP TO THE RENIERI APARTMENTS.

Confusedwe have just come back from scala and after having seen the beauty of kefalonia
we will be back next year . unfortunately that does not apply to the renieri apartments.
we stayed in no 19 studio no privacy , and hey we can socialise with the anyone but you need some space
it was an oven, even with the fan
from the front (as in the brochure the apartments look fine) but we were in ground floor hell, i know greece is basic and this i expected. but theres no escape from the heat morning or night .
but there is always the status cafe bar at the end of the road. were we spent most of our time with the excellent hosts dionisis and tess.
excellent holiday but dont stay at the renieri.

We went for the last two weeks of August 2004 and had a great time!!

The apartments were everything we were expecting them to be and to be honest we all know how basic these places are. But hey! What can you expect for what you pay? We took our own kettle and found the rooms to be satisfactorily cleaned and maintained. Yes, i did have to take the bleach to the bathroom but then i would anyway- and we found the cleaners were friendly and even laundered our own towels.

Location was very handy opposite the medical center, and close to the beach, shops and restaurants but yes there is a little bit of passing traffic noise and the odd barking dog- not that it hindered us though.

We went there to explore the island of Kefalonia and what a great place it is!! Who wants to sit around in the apartment all day anyway??? Get out and enjoy yourself!

stayed in apt 33 absolutely horrendous!the cleaning was crap.the view of the hut (outside toilet)was not what we expected,the bed springs were poking through the mattress,the electric was turned off and so was the hot water,apparently because our tour company (Golden Sun)hadn't paid the owners.We would't let this put us off greece but we certainly wouldn't stay there again or use that company again.
