Perfectly Cretan!
This home is so beautiful, the veranda and pool were so special. The location is moments walk to stores, restaurants and the beach. Checkin was so easy and the gate was a great layer of security (even though the area seems quite safe. The owners were responsive and helpful anytime we needed something. DEFINITELY stay here if you’re planning a trip to the area.

Magical Villi
Villa Melody was a fantastic place to stay. Comfortable and characterful, perfectly situated and Yioula was a warm and welcoming host. Wonderful!
The villa itself is absolutely beautiful and the location is ideal. It feels very quiet and secluded, but you are literally just down the driveway from the main street and all the Plantanias facilities.
Yioula and Agi are extremely welcoming and helpful hosts and have obviously put a lot of time and care into the villa to make it a real home from home. The bottle of wine and home made produce awaiting for us on arrival was a lovely touch.
The pool is fantastic and an ideal size for a family of four and there are loads of pool toys, inflatables etc. provided. The villa itself is a lovely size and all the fixtures and fittings are of a very high standard and very well maintained. Make sure you visit the owner's Rock House bar as well at the top of the drive - well worth a visit especially when there is a band on.
All in all a beautiful villa and many thanks to Yioula and Agi for a wonderful stay.

Wir hatten einen wirklich sehr schönen Urlaub im Rock House. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt.Die Ausstattung war gut, die Terrasse und der Garten mit Pool waren Super. Der Eigentümer war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Haus wurde zwischendurch immer mal wieder gereinigt und die Handtücher wurden ebenfalls getauscht. Ein- und Auschecken war völlig problemlos.Das Haus liegt,sehr zentral, etwas zurückgelgen von der Haupstraße, eingekeilt zwischen zwei Hotels. Trotzdem ist man durch hohe Hecken vor Blicken geschützt und es ist bis auf die Grillen auch sehr ruhig.Man ist fußläufig schnell im nächsten Supermarkt, am Strand oder im Restaurant. Wir hatten noch einen Mietwagen, mit dem wir von hier aus wunderbar den Westteil der Insel erkundet haben.Alles in allem ein wirklich sehr gelungener Urlaub.

Absolut perfekt!
Wunderschöne Villa im Steinhausstil – wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Unsere bisher schönste Ferienunterkunft. Liegt sehr zentral an der Hauptstraße, aber durch die Zufahrt und den Parkplatz nach hinten versetzt und ist daher sehr ruhig. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett und kommt regelmäßig zur Gartenpflege – dann steht er gerne mit Tipps zur Verfügung. Das von ihm empfohlene Restaurant am Strand war ein toller Tipp und ist ein absolutes MUSS. Auch der Reinigungsservice hat sich alle paar Tage hervorragend um die Unterkunft gekümmert. Wir waren wunschlos glücklich!

Alles Topp !
Das Haus ist wunderschön, perfekt ausgestattet mit einem schönen Pool. Nur wenige Meter bis zum Strand und mitten im Ort - dennoch absolut ruhig zum entspannen. Der Vermieter Agis hat sich um alles gekümmert. Es gibt nichts zu beanstanden, wir würden das Haus jederzeit wieder mieten !
