Delightful rural location
There were many good aspects to this villa, good location, lovely garden, great view from the terrace. However the bathroom facilities were in need of updating and there was only one bathroom. There were insufficient pillows and pillow cases and there were no mattress or pillow protectors. There was no maid service or pool cleaning. We were told because of covid but we had it elsewhere. There was a lovely taverna within walking distance but we had to drive to a beach as the local beach is stony.

La villa è molto bella , su due piani con piscina privata e vista mare dal terrazzo. Purtroppo ci sono stati problemi inizialmente perché non risultava la prenotazione al proprietario. Questo ha creato disagi iniziali perché siamo arrivate di notte e kon abbiamo trovato la chiave. Abbiamo dovuto svegliare il proprietario che di notte è venuto a pulire l' appartamento per farci entrare. Lui è stato gentile ma purtroppo la casa i primi 2 giorni non è stata molto pulita. Forse un errore dell' agenzia, vi consigliamo di contattare il proprietario prima di andare. Per il resto casa comoda con tutto quello che si desidera. Il wifi funziona poco. Comunque nel complesso per jn gruppo la casa è bella. Consigliamo anche di cambiare il letto nella camera matrimoniale al piano terra. Grazie

Amazing stay in Tavronitis
The location and the house itself are amazing. In 5 minutes you are at the beach or you can relax at the pool. The best pita gyros is also within a 15min walk:) Furthermore, the owner, Matthias is a very kind host.

Beautiful Villa, Great Location from which to Explore Crete
The villa was beautiful with so many features around the property. The neighborhood was walkable, with only a short trip to the beach. The property manager was very helpful and provided suggestions for our group. The bedrooms were comfortable and the A/C worked well. The WiFi worked best from outside of the villa. Only areas for improvement: better (and more) towels including need for kitchen towels, better functioning WiFi, and extra set of keys so guests can come and go as they please. This could easilly have been a five star stay, if not for these areas.

+ Många och stora sällskapsytor utomhus. + Avskilt och lugnt. + Pingis, biljard, dart på området att använda. - Mycket dåligt städat när vi kom, efter vi påpekat detta ordnade värden så det blev städat ordentligt dagen efter. - Saknade en del köksredskap, och fanns inte tillräckligt med ex glas för 10 pers. - AC:n i vissa rum fick vi aldrig att fungera.

We spent a wonderful time there and would highly recommend Agni Travel for excellent service. Very relaxing property and neighborhood. It is a 5-10 min walk to almost everywhere, particularly to the beach and near to exceptional tavernas, where are served great seafood and caters. The locals are very friendly. We also visited Kolymvari, Agia Marina, and Kissamos. Glad that we visited those nice places with great restaurants and tasty specialties. Do not hesitate to book this place and villa. Would highly recommend it to everybody.

First of all, I need to say that the villa is actualy even better than on the photos! We had the most wonderful holiday ever! The property is in a great location in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the beach, restaurants, bars, etc. Agia Marina and Kolymvari are also close, just 5-10 min driving.

The property was within walking distance to almost everything: beach, restaurants, bars, shops... Lovely walk along the coast of Tavronitis and great restaurants around the Tavronitis and Paralia Maleme beach. If you want a beach holiday, everything you need is here, but if you have a car youre within easy reach of many other resorts to the north and south of the island. Agnis service was perfect. We couldnt have asked for a higher level of service. From the booking through the end of our vacation, everything went flawlessly. I would highly recommend this property, and I would most certainly return again.

Really great villa (as always with Agni) and the location was quiet and close to the beach. Stunning views across the bay from the rooftop. Villa Melina had everything we needed and was very comfortable. Just a few minutes walk and you can reach almost everything: supermarkets, bakeries, as well as restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and tavernas. The people are soooo friendly in Tavronitis. The location is also excellent for exploring other places and the local area. Within only a 10-20 minutes drive you are at Agia Marina and Kissamos where you can enjoy their local amenities, beaches, shops, restaurants... We tried great Greek specialties there. Overall nice holiday for us and we will be returning again.

The beaches with the blue sky water, where you would like to stay for a long time, the many attractions that tourists like to go to, have been part of our search for new experiences. We found Villa Melina to match all our wants and wishes and are glad that we booked it for our holiday. Villa Melina has four very cozy rooms and a great rooftop with a nice pool and terrace. Lovely to sit out and relax with a glass of wine. Almost everything is in the vicinity of walking distance...beach, restaurants, bars, but still in a calm neighborhood. Nice and friendly people in Tavronitis.Crete has become one of my favorite travel destinations and I know we will be back soon! Highly recommend this villa and company.

I work a lot of hours and was in need of a breakaway and time to relax with my family. Great relaxed holiday at a nice quiet location, near to almost everything: sea, beach, tavernas, etc. Nice rooftop terrace and pool. We enjoyed stunning sunsets and sea views from there while having our meals. We loved alternating days between exploring different places and beaches and having relaxing days at the villa. The villa and Tavronitis were perfect for my family. We had a great time there and were every day amazed by how lovely the places Tavronitis, Chania, and Kissamos are. We enjoyed tasting their local food, drinking some of the local wines, swimming, sunbathing, snorkeling, etc. Overall the villa is spotless, has more than everything you need, wonderful grounds, pool everything! Very satisfied that we booked this villa for our current holiday destination and we definitely book it again for the next year.

Villa very beautiful and peaceful whilst close to local amenities, Owner very easy to contact and minor problems that arose were dealt with swiftly. It would have been helpful if there were a few basic provisions on arrival for making a cup of tea etc so we didnt have to rush out to the shops straight away. Apart from that we all had a wonderful holiday and would return to this villa and also recommend to friends. Many thanks

It has been a great stay for our two families, enjoying the villa, the roof top pool area, the large BBQ and the garden area. To in Tavronitis, outside the busy tourist places, enjoying the local Greek shops e.g. the baker, butcher, local supermarket and taverna’s have made our stay very easy and enjoyable. Can only recommend booking at Agni Travel, great service during the stay if any help was required. Thanks.

Villa Melina offers a lot, but we want underline what was particularly fitting with our needs. Is large and confortable for families with children (except for the bathroom at lower level). The Kitchen is not large but is fully equipped. The small pool on the first floor is wonderful for children. the garden in perfect for dinner and barbecue. Tavronitis has not a Carabbean sand, but in five minutes you can walk from the villa to the sea, finding two good restaurant /bar litterally on the beach. The position is excellent to visit the north- west of Creta, stang in a quiet simple place.

we spent 4 nights here and it was amazing firstly I would like to say the people at Agni Travel are very professional and quick to answer any inquiries we had. The property manager Michael was also very helpful and gave us some useful tips on things to do on the island. The villa itself was just great. Everything was as advertised. Great place for a group of friends or a large family, hope to visit again in the future.
