We had an amazing stay at the beautiful Meli & Gio villa in Crete! It was absolutely perfect for our family — spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The private pool was a highlight for both the kids and adults, and the outdoor grill made for some unforgettable meals under the stars. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, which made cooking at home so easy and enjoyable. The villa truly felt like a home away from home. What really made the experience stand out, though, were the hosts (Maria & Kostas). They were incredibly kind, welcoming, and responsive to any questions we had. You can tell they genuinely care about their guests' comfort and happiness. We felt so well taken care of from start to finish. We’re already dreaming about our next trip back. Highly, highly recommend Meli & Gio to anyone looking for the perfect family retreat in Crete! Nothing to improve Meli & Gio felt like being home for us. ##### Jonathan From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vardges Jul 16, 2025 #### Wunderschöne Villa, großer Pool & Meerblick Wir durften wunderschöne Tage in dieser Villa verbringen. Maria & Kostas sind sehr gute Gastgeber und kümmern sich sehr gut um alles. Wir lieben es hier und komme nächstes Jahr aufjedenfall zurück. ##### Vardges ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Athermigo Boutique Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Apokoronas-Hotels-Villa-Athermigo.h11579308.Hotel-Information) > - [KM LUXURY apart downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-KM-LUXURY-Apart-Downtown.h96148289.Hotel-Information) > - [Yianna Caravel Suites "by Checkin" adults only](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Yianna-Caravel-By-Checkin.h18330079.Hotel-Information) > - [Cretan Vineyard Hill Villa Private Pool, Panoramic View, Beautiful Vineyard](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Cretan-Vineyard-Hill-Villa-Private-Pool.h17183833.Hotel-Information) > - [Mythic Paros](https://www.expedia.ca/Paros-Hotels-Mythic-Exclusive-Retreat-Adults-Only.h39090192.Hotel-Information) > - [Alexis Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chania-Hotels-Alexis-Hotel.h2409246.Hotel-Information) > - [Utopia Suites by Anna Platanou - Adults only](https://www.expedia.ca/Paros-Hotels-Utopia-Suites-By-Anna-Platanu.h91806064.Hotel-Information) > - [Dom Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-Dom-Boutique-Hotel.h34448277.Hotel-Information) > - [Nana Princess Suites, Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Nana-Princess-Suites.h19806167.Hotel-Information) > - [Anema Boutique Hotel & Villas Santorini](https://www.expedia.ca/Santorini-Hotels-Anema-Santorini-Luxury-Suites-Villas.h4631049.Hotel-Information) > - [Porta Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-Porta-Suites.h90048287.Hotel-Information) > - [Karteros Luxury Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-Luxury-Villa-Karteros.h34414673.Hotel-Information) > - [Sunrise Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Vasileios-Hotels-Sunrise-Residence.h21765678.Hotel-Information) > - [Grecotel LUXME White](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Grecotel-LUXME-White-Palace-All-Inclusive.h2573709.Hotel-Information) > - [Domenica Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Domenica-Apartments.h14887344.Hotel-Information) > - [Palatiana Agriturismo Philoxenia Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Naxos-Hotels-Palatiana-Agriturismo-Philoxenia-Cottages.h25123977.Hotel-Information) > - [Varkotopi Eco Apts Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Vasileios-Hotels-Varkotopi-Eco-Apts-Villas.h44832475.Hotel-Information) > - [Ravdoucha Beach Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Platanias-Hotels-Ravdoucha-Beach-Studios.h42268796.Hotel-Information) > - [Marea Boutique Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Marea-Boutique-Suites.h88216377.Hotel-Information) > - [Philoxenia](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalambaka-Hotels-Philoxenia.h41258706.Hotel-Information) > - [Marin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-Marin-Dream.h1355224.Hotel-Information) > - [Andronis Minois](https://www.expedia.ca/Paros-Hotels-Minois-Village.h1753890.Hotel-Information) > - [Artemis Seaside Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Milos-Hotels-Artemis-Deluxe-Rooms.h7632792.Hotel-Information) > - [Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Angsana-Corfu.h66197379.Hotel-Information) > - [ORION Eco Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-ORION-Eco-Suites.h78616383.Hotel-Information) > - [Villa Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Villa-Marina.h33462100.Hotel-Information) > - [Domes White Coast Milos, Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Milos-Hotels-White-Coast-Pool-Suites-Adults-Only.h48214292.Hotel-Information) > - [Agios Pavlos Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Vasileios-Hotels-Agios-Pavlos-Hotel.h45827498.Hotel-Information) > - [Mary Hotel & Mary Royal Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Mary-Hotel-Mary-Royal-Suites.h31114078.Hotel-Information)
