Owned and personally cared for by the same owners as our Arethousa villa and situated at the entrance to the quaint, unspoilt village of Melidoni.
Villa Melita is a lovely stone detached villa set amongst lawned gardens and many fruit trees with its large pool taking pride of place to the front of the property and catching the sun all day. The heart of the village with its pretty taverna, bar and mini market is a short walk away, whilst more varied shops can be found in nearby Perama just 3 miles away.
Reached via a short drive through a gated entrance and up to a large parking area. The front door leads straight into a most elegant, comfortably furnished split level living area in Cretan style with high beamed ceilings, open stone fireplace, satellite TV (limited channels) and DVD. Two further steps then lead up through a natural archway to the fully equipped kitchen/dining area, which has dishwasher, microwave and there is a washing machine in the adjacent utility room. Patio doors lead from the lounge to the front covered terrace, gardens and pool.
An inner hall then leads to two of the four air-conditioned bedrooms. This is a pretty double with full bathroom en-suite and the second a twin with shower room adjacent.
A marble staircase then leads to the first floor and a small second lounge area with TV. Radiating from here is a twin bedroom with patio doors onto a small balcony with wonderful views of the mountain range behind and this has a shower room with WC adjacent. Finally the master double bedroom has four poster bed, an attractive bathroom en-suite and patio doors leading onto a large terrace with views over the pool and gardens.
All bedrooms are air-conditioned at no extra charge.
Outside the 10 metre pool takes pride of place to the front of the villa and there is a separate children's pool adjoining where the depth is a constant 80cm. Surrounding both pools there are spacious sun terraces, which are well furnished and there is a large built in barbeque with stone table and seating for 8 to the side of the villa for those meals al-fresco.
The nearest beach is in the resort of Bali, which also boasts numerous taverna's, kafenions, supermarkets and restaurants. Rethymnon is approximately 15 miles west of Melidoni. A lovely family villa for those wishing to experience the real Crete.
