Maison Meltem

A sublime experience in all respects. This property is nestled in a hidden place in the hills of agia pelagia, the path to get there was a bit difficult but definitely worth it. The owners of the maison, Giannis and Olivier, welcomed us upon arrival with extreme kindness and hospitality. After a busy day on the road, we enjoyed the delicious dinner prepared by chef Giannis who offered us mouth-watering Cretan dishes. The suite where we stayed was gorgeous, exactly as it looks in the photos, had all the amenities and most importantly is located in a quiet and relaxing atmosphere in nature with breathtaking views. The breakfast in the morning overlooking the sea offers various options, such as the typical kalitsounia prepared every morning by the chef, absolutely a must try. At the end of the vacation we were sorry to leave this place, absolutely faboulous!

Once in a while, you stumble upon gem of a place. A place that not only exudes good style, comfort and tranquility, but also has a staff (the two owners Olivier and Giannis) that are so pleasant and kind that you just want to stay. Maison Meltem is a must-visit on Crete. And book one of their King sea view rooms, where you get to enjoy your own little pool and terrace with one of the best views to the Mediterranean. On top of this, Giannis is a brilliant cook, who prepares the most wonderful 3 course meal every evening. I cannot recommend this place enough. I look forward to coming back.

Nous venons de passer une semaine magnifique à la Maison Meltem. Nous avions loué deux suites avec une vue mer époustouflante. Cette petite structure, 6 suites et 2 logements dans la villa principale, est un savant mélange de discrétion et de convivialité… un bar près de la superbe piscine à débordement permet de se rencontrer si on le désire… nous avons été conquis par la décoration et le souci du détail… tout est en harmonie dans ce lieu niché sur les hauteurs d’une baie tranquille et magnifique… nous ne pouvions terminer ce commentaire sans parler de nos charmants hôtes, Olivier et Giannis, toujours présents et aux petits soins pour leurs clients. Giannis vous concoctera tous les soirs une délicieuse spécialité crétoise. Un grand merci à Olivier qui n’a pas hésité à venir nous dépanner sur la route. Nous y retournerons avec grand plaisir.
