VILLA MELYNA Private Heated Pool

The villa is excellent, great facilities and everything you need for a quiet day in the pool or dining in the evening. Sea views from the front bedrooms and mountain views from the main bedroom. We were met on arrival, shown round the facilities and told if we had an issues to contact the person at any time, which is reassuring. The villa is nice and clean, well equipped and sits in a quiet cul-de-sac. It does sit at the very rear of the estate. so it is up hill all the way home after a day out, its not a complaint, its a great way of burning off all the extra calories consumed at the local restaurants and bars. Loads to do nearby with small supermarkets and restaurants within a 10-15 minute walk, 25-30 mins walk will take you to the beach front and everything that can be found along the shore. I would definitely recommend it for families.

Would have liked a few more bathroom towels, though there was a washing machine. Did have to keep bathroom doors closed as there would be the occasional drain smell.

Warm pool great for the kids

Drain smell not great Off street parking not available shame as it has a large drive, gated entrance but we had to park a shortish distance not ideal after a long day of travelling, young children, lots of luggage and shopping

Home furnishings, kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, heated pool, very quiet area for those who don't like crowds and street noise in the evening

The showers were not very comfortable, there were only two bedrooms with extra warm bedspreads - the third bedroom should have one too, the location is on a steep hill, you need a car or order a taxi, the sun shines here less often in the winter than in places by the ocean. But these are just small details that did not particularly interfere with our rest

We loved the pool and the privacy turf instead of real grass. We loved how quiet the neighborhood is, and we loved the ease of parking, but we do wish that we were able to pull the car for loading and unloading up to the house and were told that it was just for owners. I don’t think that was a good idea. The sewage smell throughout the house was just about intolerable, but the weather was not too hot so we had every single window and door open to ventilate it. I’m not sure how that would be if the temperature were very hot and you had to keep the house closed with the AC on. I did ask them for a portable fan and that helped a lot, but I had to keep bringing that fan up and down the stairs because she would not respond to me when I asked her to bring one more fan. There is a water purifier under the sink, and I had a simple question for her as to when the filters were change and she never answered me. I asked that same question four different times and never got an answer. So you will have to buy bottled water for pretty much everywhere on the island. I didn’t love the bedrooms being upstairs because the stairs were very steep. When you do arrive to the apartment the stairs from the driveway is also very steep. I would say the best thing about the house was the kitchen layout I love the way you open the window and it was right to the backyard. The temperature the pool was fantastic. The pool was fantastic and the whole backyard was great. But I would not say the same for the rest of the house. Also, the only place that you can use Wi-Fi is in the kitchen and the living room. It’s absolutely unusable upstairs in the bedroom or even outside on the beautiful backyard. That was a big problem.
