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 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 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 > [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) > > [Dom Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-Dom-Boutique-Hotel.h34448277.Hotel-Information) > > [Karteros Luxury Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-Luxury-Villa-Karteros.h34414673.Hotel-Information) > > [Palatiana Agriturismo Philoxenia Cottages](https://www.expedia.ca/Naxos-Hotels-Palatiana-Agriturismo-Philoxenia-Cottages.h25123977.Hotel-Information) > > [Philoxenia](https://www.expedia.ca/Kalambaka-Hotels-Philoxenia.h41258706.Hotel-Information) > > [Angsana Corfu Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Corfu-Hotels-Angsana-Corfu.h66197379.Hotel-Information) > > [Agios Pavlos Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Vasileios-Hotels-Agios-Pavlos-Hotel.h45827498.Hotel-Information) > > [Athermigo Boutique Estate](https://www.expedia.ca/Apokoronas-Hotels-Villa-Athermigo.h11579308.Hotel-Information) > > [Mythic Paros](https://www.expedia.ca/Paros-Hotels-Mythic-Exclusive-Retreat-Adults-Only.h39090192.Hotel-Information) > > [Nana Princess Suites, Villas & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Nana-Princess-Suites.h19806167.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunrise Residence](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Vasileios-Hotels-Sunrise-Residence.h21765678.Hotel-Information) > > [Varkotopi Eco Apts Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/Agios-Vasileios-Hotels-Varkotopi-Eco-Apts-Villas.h44832475.Hotel-Information) > > [Marin Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-Marin-Dream.h1355224.Hotel-Information) > > [ORION Eco Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-ORION-Eco-Suites.h78616383.Hotel-Information) > > [Mary Hotel & Mary Royal Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Mary-Hotel-Mary-Royal-Suites.h31114078.Hotel-Information) > > [KM LUXURY apart downtown](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-KM-LUXURY-Apart-Downtown.h96148289.Hotel-Information) > > [Alexis Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Chania-Hotels-Alexis-Hotel.h2409246.Hotel-Information) > > [Anema Boutique Hotel & Villas Santorini](https://www.expedia.ca/Santorini-Hotels-Anema-Santorini-Luxury-Suites-Villas.h4631049.Hotel-Information) > > [Grecotel LUXME White](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Grecotel-LUXME-White-Palace-All-Inclusive.h2573709.Hotel-Information) > > [Ravdoucha Beach Studios](https://www.expedia.ca/Platanias-Hotels-Ravdoucha-Beach-Studios.h42268796.Hotel-Information) > > [Andronis Minois](https://www.expedia.ca/Paros-Hotels-Minois-Village.h1753890.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Villa-Marina.h33462100.Hotel-Information) > > [Yianna Caravel Suites "by Checkin" adults only](https://www.expedia.ca/Malevizi-Hotels-Yianna-Caravel-By-Checkin.h18330079.Hotel-Information) > > [Utopia Suites by Anna Platanou - Adults only](https://www.expedia.ca/Paros-Hotels-Utopia-Suites-By-Anna-Platanu.h91806064.Hotel-Information) > > [Porta Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Heraklion-Hotels-Porta-Suites.h90048287.Hotel-Information) > > [Domenica Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Domenica-Apartments.h14887344.Hotel-Information) > > [Marea Boutique Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Rethymno-Hotels-Marea-Boutique-Suites.h88216377.Hotel-Information) > > [Artemis Seaside Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Milos-Hotels-Artemis-Deluxe-Rooms.h7632792.Hotel-Information) > > [Domes White Coast Milos, Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Milos-Hotels-White-Coast-Pool-Suites-Adults-Only.h48214292.Hotel-Information)
