Villa Ariadne - Stylish vacation home with all amenities

Villa Aridane is located in the small village of Melidoni in the Apakoronas region of Western Crete. Set in picturesque countryside with olive groves and views of the White Mountains, the house is close to the region's beautiful beaches, traditional villages and lively markets. Here you can enjoy authentic Crete in an idyllic setting - an ideal place to relax and explore!

The villa is built from traditional quarry stone and offers plenty of space for four people with two bedrooms, a living room, large balcony and terrace.

On the ground floor are the kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and guest toilet with shower. The living room and the very large balcony are on the first floor. The first bedroom has a double bed. The second bedroom has two single beds. Both bedrooms have their own air conditioning and patio doors to the garden. The living room is on the first floor of the house and has two exits to the large balcony. From the balcony you have fantastic views of the White Mountains, the bay of Souda and the beach of Georgioupoli.

The house is surrounded by a beautiful garden. The terrace is just above the pool in front of the house. Next to the house there is a bricked barbecue. The pool is 4m*8m. In the cooler months it can be heated with a pool heater (pool heating on request, € 15.00 per 24 hours).

The villa has a solar hot water system and a photovoltaic system so that during the sunny summer months electricity and hot water are generated in an environmentally friendly way using only solar energy.

Bed linen, towels and pool towels are included in the price. The house is cleaned and linen changed every 4 days.

We invite you to visit our website www.ariadne-melidoni.com to see more photos and learn more about our villa and the area.

Please note that the Greek government has introduced a new levy, the Climate Resilience Levy, which is €15 per day per rental. We are obliged to collect this levy separately.

Melidoni is a small village with no bus connections. You will therefore need a hire car in any case.

Beautiful stone-built house in spectacular mountain location

My wife and I plus our son and his girlfriend stayed for several nights in mid Spring and loved it. Strategic mountain location for Chania and Rethymnon and also close to road over White Mountains to Sfakia. Driving the final stretch from Pemonia to Melidoni is quite hairy so do take care!! Beautifully managed by Susanne and photos fully do the house justice. Marvelous crockery set and great welcome package!

Serene mountain getaway

We loved being away from it all but with adventures nearby.. beaches, hiking, biking, small villages with excellent dining and historical value. An excellent option after hopping from island to island for some downtime .

Great Hosts, Beautiful Home

Beautifully located in the foothills of Crete, but close to villages where you can shop for food, go to beaches, or find a nice taverna with traditional food. It was the highlight of our trip to Crete!

A beautiful property, in a wonderful location

We had a wonderful week in this beautiful property. The house (and its garden/pool) were perfect, and the location was delightful (we enjoyed walking up into the hills/mountains directly from the house). We would highly recommend this property and very much hope to return for a holiday here ourselves in the future.

The villa was stunning! The location and views of the sea and White Mountains were second to none! The villa was tastefully furnished and very well equipped. Could not find any fault with it and would highly recommend a stay there.

Magical Place

There is something magical about relaxing by the pool while looking at the snow on the mountain peaks and then turning and seeing the Aegean in the distance. The hosts were wonderful and made us feel welcome without being obtrusive. The quiet at night was a peaceful respite after our time in Athens. We hope to return as the fates allow.

Beautiful villa with stunning view

Our stay was wonderful. Jeremy and Sam are great hosts. They warmly welcomed us to the villa and gave us a tour. They told us about the area - where to find great restaurants, grocery stores and local sights to see. The villa is amazing with a beautiful view of the mountains. It has plenty of outdoor space for relaxing and a beautiful pool. We would definitely stay here again.
