He used all his research into traditional architecture and put all his love into the house. The project was finished in 2004. In the middle of a 5000 sq.m fruit grove, rises a small palace, reminding us of a Venetian villa. Melitta is situated just outside of the village of Melidoni, in a quiet environment with a broad and beautiful view of the Tallaia mountains and Psiloritis. There is a wide variety of trees in its huge garden – orange, olive, pear, apple, and peach trees – offering fruits throughout the year. There are also flowers and organically grown vegetables in the backyard of the house. The house covers 250 M2 and there are 5 bedrooms – 2 on the ground floor and 3 on the upper floor – which can accommodate 10 persons, or even 12 if you use the two sofa beds of the sitting room. It has a tasteful interior and there are two verandas on the upper floor, offering you a choice of the view you prefer. Further Details for The Villa In Rethymno,Crete: The nearest airport of Heraklion (HER) is located 50 km east of the villa, while the port of Rethymnon lies at a distance of 29 km.

The pool, pool area, bbq area, grass areas are all perfect and the villa is sited just out of the village of Melidoni so whilst nice and quiet it was only a 5 minute wander to the centre of the village and it's amazing restaurant and chilled out small centre. The owners were very generous with their initial gifts and helpful with any needs but also allowed privacy for the party. This is certainly one villa we would want to come back and stay again at.

We were a group of 4 adults and 5 children from 4-9 and fitted perfectly in the house. The kids loved playing all round the gardens and would collect oranges to give us a neverending supply of delicious fresh juice. We paid to heat the pool which made it swimmable at this time of year (but still pretty chilly). We enjoyed a delicious BBQ with meat from one of the butchers in Parama. The villa is ideally located for lots of places to visit but one unexpected highlight was Reptisland which is right next door. The kids loved being shown and handling snakes and lizards - the owner was brilliant at sharing his knowledge and love of reptiles. ##### Chris A.

The Melidoni village is also very interesting, with a good restaurant and interesting attractions (Reptile Park, Honey museum, Melidoni cave). ##### Uros K.

I cannot say enough about this property and our experience there! My friends and I were there for a birthday getaway, and we loved our stay at the Villa Mellita. The pool was probably our favorite spot, but we had a private chef cater a meal, and the outdoor dining area was perfect, and the inside spaces gave us places to gather when it became chilly, or the bugs became too much. The air-conditioning in all of the bedrooms was a welcome relief from the heat, and it really included all the amenities we needed. We found communications once we were there to be very good, and the owners to be incredibly friendly. The village is lovely, and I cannot say enough about the people who own the businesses there, we felt like we were a part of the village by the end of the week. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in a quiet part of the island where you will be around less tourists than other spots, but can easily get to beaches, and local interest places that were recommended by all the locals. I would absolutely stay here again! ##### Krystal J. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher B.

Zur Kontaktaufnahme empfehle ich Telefon oder Whatsapp! Damit lief dann alles unkompliziert und einwandfrei. Wir wurden herzlich Empfangen und es wurde uns alles gezeigt und erklärt. Die Villa ist wirklich schön liegt in einer herrlichen Umgebung und liegt soweit am Ortstrand, dass auch ein bisschen Lautstärke Nachbarn nicht direkt stört. Ausstattungstechnisch ist alles da was man braucht! Unser Highlite war der Steinofen im Garten. Der Ort selbst ist sehr klein aber hat einen gut sortieren kleinen Supermarkt und zwei Tavernen in der Ortsmitte. Wir können Carob and Olive wärmstens weiterempfehlen! Ansonsten bleibt nur Danke zu Sagen für das tolle Haus, den netten Empfang und den unkomplizierten Check Out! Definitiv zu empfehlen! ##### Christopher B.

Nov 23, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic house for group holiday This is a really nice house in a lovely village with a surprisingly large number of things to do. The house was very clean and owners very welcoming (nice welcome gifts and olive oil to take home!). The village has a lovely taverna in the square, and some interesting tourist locations right on the doorstep (caves and a small-but-fantastic reptile attraction which the kids loved). Downsides: the biggest one for us was that (in October half term) despite paying extra for the pool to be heated, it was not warm enough to be pleasant to be in for long. Also for a large house the communal indoor space is not huge, so for instance you would struggle to sit down as a large group on sofas or at the kitchen table (this is probably not a concern in summer but we were unlucky with the weather this October). ##### Peter F.
