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 16 Jul 2025 #### Wunderschöne Villa, großer Pool & Meerblick Wir durften wunderschöne Tage in dieser Villa verbringen.
