One very minor thing: we would have welcomed a shower curtain.

The Villa Melina is a beautiful villa surrounded by a very attractive garden. Our large room -- with large windows, a high ceiling, and handsome wood furniture -- was very comfortable. Not only was the bed comfortable but the bathroom was large and there was a mini-refrigerator, a hot water heater and plenty of place for our things. Our room was in excellent condition and very clean. The WiFi/Internet connection was very good. We liked the location: just far enough above the harbor to be quiet and provide a view of the sea. The pool is set among attractive plants and trees, and the terraces provide tables and chairs for breakfast or for relaxing. The buffet breakfast featured each morning a variety of freshly baked cakes and pastry as well as several breakfast staples. My wife and I were particularly pleased by the friendly style of Villa Melina and the very helpful tips provided. We particularly benefitted from suggestions about how and what to see in Kalymnos, about restaurants in Potia, and about car rental.

The old villa, the easy downtown location, the staff, the room infront of the pool and the amazing homemade croissants and Boston cream cake..

Not a thing (but do expect a certain element of eccentricity which in my opinion that is not a bad thing.)

Villa Melina is a special and wonderful place. Our room was in the actual Villa and opened onto a huge terrace with an amazing view of the town. I can’t wait to go back and will stay longer next time. Special shout out to the amazing breakfast with home cooked pies and fresh fruit.

What a find! Friendly family run. Beautiful studio by the pool, and the most delicious breakfast on the patio in front of the main house. The host bakes all his own bread & cakes

The mattress was quite hard and uncomfortable.

I have to say that George and his family and staff are absolutely lovely. They were so hospitable, kind and so very helpful. It felt like we were a part of the family. The breakfasts were absolutely delicious. And the swimming pool was great after a hot day touring around.

Difficult to get to by car but easy to find once you had got your bearings on foot as it is up a series of winding small streets away from the busy town.

The breakfast was excellent- full range of breads, cheese, ham, jams, cake, fruit etc. The villa was lovely & near to the start of the Italian walk over the hill to Vathy. It was away from the hustle & bustle of busy Pothia.

This is a very beautiful and special place, full of historic charm. Rooms have high ceilings and large windows. Ours had no balcony but there are beautiful outdoor spaces everywhere to discover. On Sunday morning we sat by the pool under the bougainvillea eating homemade cakes for breakfast, with the sound of Orthodox priests chanting in the church just above us on the mountain - unforgettable. If you arrive by boat and have luggage it's worth getting a taxi up from the harbour - easy to walk back down though, when you know the route. Parking and driving around the hotel is tricky but the lovely owners will give good advice.

There's nothing that I didn't like!

I just cannot recommend it enough!! George (the owner) is so polite, helpful and an amazing guy, he gave me lots of recommendations of things to do on the island. The room was spacious with nice decor and two balconies. I was so very comfortable. The breakfast was delicious and had a big variety of food and beverages. The location is good also, convenient to get to the main Pothia square and the shops.

Nothing really If I have to share a constructive feedback - the pillows could be better & shower cabins could be renewed.

Truly special place, set in original 1930s building remaining all the charm - high ceilings- hard wood floors - large rooms- wooden shutters on windows and more Villa Melina is located right in the heart of the old town yet on a quiet residential street. But what makes this place really special was it’s wonderful host Yorgos who goes above & beyond to make guests comfortable. You can tell he loves this place… I arrived super late at after 1 am, not only to find that he was personally present for the check in - but he was busy baking wonderful cinnamon rolls for the breakfast I will definitely be back .

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Melina. Location was great, a short walk to the seafront and restaurants. The swimming pool is a big asset. And the breakfast all home made by owner Georgios was terrific. The apple cake, the carrot cake, the croissants, the fresh fruit and a big variety to choose from.

Big spacious room in a fabulous location. Huge swimming pool, very deep though. The breakfast was delicious and the hosts were lovely.

Had to go to the supermarket for drinks which is fine - but it was a 20 minute walk away

Beautiful little oasis in Kalymnos. The rooms are an extension of an old villa/mansion. The design is perfect- lovely and tranquil, felt like I was somewhere really special.
