Nothing

The villa is simply stunning. In a quiet secluded place, huge territory, large heated pool, 5 bedrooms, very authentic design, convenience. There was always hot water - for Greece it is surprising (it was not necessary to heat it every time). Huge kitchen, the staff we did not even see, everyone is very friendly and trusting. By the way, the Northern part of the island is much more attractive than the southern. The villa is in the North, and all the tourist villages are in the south, this is a huge benefit . To the beach of Navagio 20 minutes, in 5 minutes there are wonderful restaurants and beaches. The villa is equipped with everything: even a washing machine, beach towels - a combination lock on the door - very convenient. Many thanks to the staff!

A traditional stone villa with heated swimming pool with salt water and no chemicals.The location is fantastic as it is quiet and natural. The house is as it is described and has a great value for money. It is well equipped and you can find anything you need at you stay. The kitchen is well equipped so you can cook your own breakfast , lunch and dinner. Wifi is really good and the internet speed decent.

There is some construction nearby but it was during the day when we were out exploring so it was not a problem.

Wow! Villa Melite in Zakynthos was one of the highlights of our trip to Greece! Not only was this mansion absolutely beautiful and well-equipped, but the host, Elena, was exceptional in taking care of us. She contacted us on WhatsApp with location information and waited for us even though we arrived later than expected. Elena provided us with several bottles of water, checked in on us daily and even let us check out later so we could finish our photoshoot before the next group arrived. The stone architecture, beautiful sea views and gorgeous patio gave us plenty of places to hang out, drink our coffee and take pictures. Beds were comfortable as were the outdoor seating (cushioned chairs, loungers and a mattress for stargazing!). Yes, you need a car to get to this mansion, but I would highly recommend you rent a car anyway if you plan to explore the many beaches and restaurants on the island. The nearest beach has several options for breakfast and if you want to hire a boat & driver, it's a perfect way to view the spectacular coastline. It only took us 15 min to get to the famous Navaggio Beach and while the south end of the island is the party area, the Northwest coast is absolutely stunning! Thank you Elena for your kindness and thank you Villa Melite for your warmth & beauty. Ignore the petty and negative reviews and book this Villa for a unique and memorable stay in Askos, Zakynthos : )

The apparment was incredible, with a beautiful view and plenty of space for our group. We were in march so there was no commotion due to the tourist off-season. The owners are extremely friendly and forth coming. I would definitely recommend visiting here!

Area around pool could be softened with some greenery and parasols. Some electrical kitchen equipment did not work. Bathrooms were basic and showers were feeble. Mattresses were hard. With a bit more investment this could be a fabulous place.

Very spacious, light and cool; beautiful view across to the sea from the lovely veranda; nice pool.

The villa is nice and big. Upper flor with 3 rooms and living rooms are exceptional. Two rooms at first flor are average (no windows), but we did not need to use it. The pool is big and you can use it in the night. View from the hill is fantastic. There are also exceptional beaches and restoraunts within 15 minutes drive. You will nead car when staying here. If you want to relax and enjoy in peace this is the place for you.

There was serious reconstruction work from morning till late afternoon right next to the villa during our stay

Amazing villa located at the best area of the island. very clean and comfortable with a big yard. Very nice kitchen and well equipped. The pool is a gem and we loved the color of the pool. There is also very nice restaurant called Windmill 5min away by foot. Great communication with the host.

everything was great! location is very comfortable, only few minutes away from nice beach and a lot of local shops and restaurants, clean swimming pool and location on top of the hill make you feel more fresh as if it’s very hot you can get little bit windy there, which was great

Some of the rooms of the house are really close, mainly the ones downstairs. The house it's a little bit overprice, in some spaces it's a kind of cold... not very cozy. Neighbours are on construction and landscape it's not that nice on the back.

They were very helpfull, eventhough they had some car issues, they were really interested and proactive to get there on time. The house and area are absolutely wonderfull, views and swimmingpool are just perfect.

We stayed at this property in Zakynthos with a group of 7 people, including 4 children. The location was good – quiet and close to key spots on the island – and the house is charming from the outside. However, it’s clear that the property needs significant updates. When we arrived, a large caterpillar vehicle was blocking the entrance, and we had to wait quite a while before we could access the house. Inside, most of the appliances are very old and don’t work properly, which made our stay less comfortable than expected. The biggest issue for us, especially traveling with young children, was the layout of the bedrooms. The Booking.com listing made no mention of the fact that not all rooms are within the same house. There are 3 bedrooms in the main house, but the other 2 are in separate buildings with their own entrances and keys. This setup might work for groups of adults, but it’s far from ideal for families with kids. That said, the property manager, Elena, was helpful and did her best to assist us during our stay. With some improvements and a clearer listing, this could be a much better experience for future guests.

The location is good and the heated pool is confortable

If you're focusing on exploring the more touristic part of the island, this villa is located on the wrong side. If you don't like driving on sometimes tough roads, this villa is hard to reach without a car. If you don't like a lot of sun in a peaceful area, this villa isn't for you either. There's only one thing that we really had to get used to: the water is always salty, no matter if we're talking pool water or tap water.

The house lies in the more quieter part of the island in the north. Thus, there's plenty of traditional greek life to discover and less touristic overflow. The pool is an absolute gem and a major reason to revisit. The villa offers everything one can wish for when being on vacation. You can spend entire days on the compound without leaving, as there's a fireplace for barbecues, several options of terraces or patios in the sun or in the shades and even the inside of the house offers a lot of space to retreat. Also, if emergency situations occur around the house, the property manager is always available and there to help. Thanks again for your immediate response, Elena!!

Honestly the overall experience wasn’t good. It s not good value for money. The equipment is old, scarce, the dishwasher wasn’t working, the showers are … uneven (you never know if you will have hot water or not, and the waterflow is really tiny). Way too expensive for what it is.

Hardly anything.
