Der Blick aufs Meer und die 50 Meter zum Strand sind einfach toll gewesen. Der Strand war sehr dünn besucht (Mitte Juni), so dass das Baden sehr angenehm war.Ebenso war der Empfang sehr gastfreundlich, aufmerksam und darauf bedacht, dass nichts fehlte. Alles in allem ist das Haus sehr zu empfehlen. ##### Ute W.

Main recommendation is to install shower head holders and lights in the showers. These showers do not fit the overall top quality of the villa. ##### Herbert A. Stayed 14 nights in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kai R. 8 Nov 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful five days The villa is just a three minute walk from the beach. It was spotlessly clean and the service was just great. There was some food for the first evening, fresh grapes and pomegranates. After three days there was a cleaning service and we found some delicious cakes and a bottle of wine in the fridge after our return from a day trip. What we missed was a good pan in the kitchen. But that’s the only thing to criticise. ##### Kai R. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen V., California 30 Sept 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exceeds all Expectations! All our expectations were exceeded on arrival at Villa Melissa. The on-site hostess, Elina, is delightful. She cares about the quality of her home (Villa Melissa) and your comfort during your stay. Villa Melissa has a fabulous water view especially from the outdoor pool area where you will spend much of your time. There is plenty of poolside furniture for outdoor lounging as well as eating and night-time star gazing. The interior of the home is similarly comfortable with all the pleasures of home—plenty of hot water for showers, plush towels, a sparkling clean kitchen, and relaxing contemporary furniture. Vasilis is terrific at handling reservation arrangements and questions, he is very responsive. Thank you both—Elina for sharing your home with us and Vasilis for ensuring that all our questions were answered in advance and during our stay. ##### Karen V. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pierre R., Thionville 29 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### On reviendra ! L’emplacement est parfait pour qui veut passer un séjour loin de l’agitation des grands hôtels ! La maison est juste sur la plage, qui plus est très belle, bien que ce ne soit pas du sable. Il y a nombre de restaurants typiques (tavernas) aux alentours et les prix sont plus que raisonnables… Les propriétaires sont charmants et facile à contacter, le ménage est fait 2 fois par semaine avec changement des serviettes de toilette et de plage. C’est vraiment une maison a conseiller ! Seul bémol, elle est accolée à une autre quasi identiques et il ne faudrait pas tomber sur une semaine ou les voisins font la fête tous les soirs… ##### Pierre R.
