Villa Meliti - Kato Galatas

Great villa, we loved it

This is the best villa we stayed at in Crete. We stay for 10 days already the 7th yeat. The house is new and big and the owners are lovely and generous. All facilities are there... The proximity to the beach, to shopping area and yo Chania make it an unforgettable stay in Crete.

This is an amazing house and the owners provided a really personal service. We stayed here for a week in August. We were 4 adults and 3 children (13, 11 and 8 years old). The house is very new, and as such feels pristine. The downstairs area is open plan, with plenty of room for eating and lounging, and some cool lighting (one panel had about 10 switches on it!) The kitchen has everything you could need. The owners kindly left a few essentials for our arrival. TV, stereo and Wifi all worked fine (Wifi isn't super-fast compared with my UK home Wifi, but is as good as you might expect from a holiday). The 4 double bedrooms are a good size, and each has a well-appointed en-suite. Note that there is no separate downstairs toilet (not a huge problem). Everything is clean (cleaners came twice a week and did a good job). The pool area is a decent size for 8 people. The pool is just the right temperature, and is well maintained. The BBQ has everything you need, and there's a nice outdoor table next to it (although you need to look out for mosquitoes at night). 5 minutes walk down the hill you have a few nice restaurants overlooking the sea. We didn't really go to the beach, as we were happy with the pool, but it looked pretty good (fine sand, not too rocky). We spent one evening in Chania town, which is an absolute must if you stay here. The harbour area is stunning. We were most impressed though with the attention that Andrie and George, the owners, paid us. They catered for our whims willingly, and added a few unexpected touches that really rounded off the holiday - I won't steal their thunder by listing them here :-)

Villa Meliti could NOT have been any better! The facility is certainly luxurious with plenty of entertainment. The host George was extremely accommodating, he even drove us to a big supermarket to do a shop for the week! he offered to take us again if we needed. what a guy! The location is great, with the beach at the bottom of the road and a bus stop to take you to Platanias... If you like bars and clubs. The holiday could not have gone any better! THANKS GEORGE!
