Melina's House

Melina and Antonios were the sweetest hosts. They were super welcoming when we arrived and offered us homemade dessert one night. The room was clean and comfortable, and the view from the balcony was beautiful. The property location was also great; close enough to the main street to walk to restaurants and shops, but far enough away to escape the noise. An amazing experience overall.

Beautiful view, quiet rooms! Quaint, and everything you could possibly need, even beach towels! Antonis and Melina and their daughter are fabulous hosts! They gave excellent suggestions of where to eat and visit! We thank them for their wonderful hospitality and xomfy beds!

Location was convenient, near the grocery stores, restaurants and public transport as well as nearby the beach. The owners are very sweet and helpful. Good location to travel to Kissamos or the main/old city of Chania.

Melina and her family are excellent hosts. The building is laid out as a set of self contained apartments with a shared lobby, with their home being off the lobby if you need to contact them. The apartment was kept clean throughout our stay with fresh towels, etc. every 2 days. The selection of cooking equipment was good, so self-catering was a practical option, and Melina provided some olive oil, marmalade and fruit as a gift upon arrival. You will need your own condiments, kitchen roll, etc. The nearest supermarket is priced for tourists but there’s a Lidl about 5km away. Speaking of location, you’re about 5 minutes walk from the beach down a quiet street, then across a busy road at a pedestrian crossing. Close enough you wouldn’t think twice about going there and back multiple times in a day or nipping back if you’ve forgotten something. One thing to be aware of is that the apartment we had had a shower over the bath and a very low ceiling - I’m 193cm and the shower head was about level with my shoulder. If you’re tall you’ll be used to this experience but it may be worth asking whether any of the apartments are better suited for tall people.
