Villa Melina

Excellent location and accommodation, has a lovely big pool, very close to bars and restaurants and the port, staff are very helpful , very clean and well kept great place to stay. This is our second stay at the villa and hopefully be back again.

I have had the best stay. I booked last minute because I was very unhappy with my last accommodation and the location. I was in Emporios and I wanted to be closer to the port with more options. I booked direct with this hotel and got a fantastic price for a Delux room. I emailed them and they emailed me back immediately. They organised a taxi for me with their cousin Nektarious who is the BEST taxi man I ever had. I was so sad in Emporios and he brought me on a beautiful, scenic drive to my hotel and played my favourite music along the way :) On arrival, I was greeted by the best hotel owner I have ever met. George is absolutely amazing. I was very down and sad about wasting money on another location. He gave me a gin and orange juice (refused payment), a bag of ice for a nice cold bath (it's hot here) candles and a lighter for the bathroom (don't use these in the rooms, too much wood and could cause a fire!) And I relaxed. I was feeling much happier. During my stay he gave me food, drinks and anything I wanted. All with the famous Greek hospitality. The breakfast is the best I've ever seen. George believes in less options but FRESH, homemade desserts, good quality food. This said, there were lots of options! Cinnamon swirls, banana bread, chocolate bread, Greek pastries, apple pie, Nutella buns, bread, cereals, ham, cheese, Greek yoghurt, watermelon etc etc too much to name.... George's family are FABULOUS. I love his father! If he is eating and you walk past, he will try to give you whatever he is eating! I got wonderful fresh watermelon and a slice of pizza another day! He is so friendly and funny. The room is so beautiful and authentic. The hotel is amazing. Traditional, authentic, it's heaven. It was perfectly clean. My room is fabulous. It has beautiful old wallpaper and furniture with long draping curtains overlooking the city and port. It still had that quirky feel about it, like I was staying in a different time... Vintage. I loved it. The bathroom was perfect and there was excellent air conditioning in the bedroom. The bed cover was so soft and the pillows were lovely! One was super soft (my favourite style) and one was hard so very clever to give one of each!!! The pool is amazing. Just look at the pictures. I had a midnight swim and watched the stars each night. I went down to the port but came back because I actually preferred to be in the hotel than away from it. That's how beautiful it is. Well done George you are outstanding!
