A beautiful old house set in its own grounds swimming pool lots of character doors, wooden floors grand staircase very Italian Brexit breakfast was delicious mostly home-made and helpful and cheerful location set back from the madness of the harbour .

The whole property needed a good clean the beds were clean but very uncomfortable. The shower room was grubby. The sink didn’t drain and the shower head had no working bracket to hold it. Dust had been lying on the staircase for months you could write your name in. The carpets are dirty and the Pool. had lots of leaves flowers and dead insects floating on the top.

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.

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.

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

Such a pretty hotel, beautiful pool, gorgeous views of the hills and church, delicious breakfast with the best carrot cake I’ve had, and most importantly, a friendly and accommodating owner who made us feel very welcome. Our room was very spacious with useful cooking facilities and a charming little balcony and terrace. We walked through narrow and charming laws to get to the hotel - it was a 10-15 min walk from the port. The surrounding area was quiet but an easy walk to restaurants and shops. The bus stop was 5 min walk away to take you to other parts of the island. The general vibe was quiet, private but friendly.

There was nothing I didn’t like.

The main building is an old sort of Manor House built back in the day by someone who had made plenty money. What we saw of the inside it was lavish. We stayed in one of the room that I guess were built later than the house round the back. The room was good with everything you need for a pleasant stay. The pool was a great bonus. Breakfast was truly amazing fresh bread cakes pastries etc with sufficient choice for everyone which you could eat outside on the front or side or in your room. It was being constantly replenished. It is a ten minute stroll down to the harbour and situated in a quiet area of the town. Not sure if a group of musicians were staying at the propert but one night we had a violin accompanied by a guitarist and a singer. Obviously this was probably a one off but it was delightful

Nothing ticked all the boxes for me.

Fantastic ambience with some old world charm. Our studio was poolside and felt very personal and private with own terrace, table and chairs. Outside areas very pretty, full of colourful flowers. A real hidden find. Beds super comfy with free air con, full size fridge and cooking facilities should you require. Friendly, helpful staff and tasty varied breakfast taken outside on the terrace.

Even though the rooms have clearly gone through some recent renovation some rusty existing fittings remained. A small detail but perhaps could have been replaced also.

The best Family Hotel i have ever stay. The owner of the hotel and his sun and the all the other workers of the Hotel was so friendly and helpfull. Just feel like at home.Very old and nostalgic Building and athmospere.Delicious and fresh breakfast.Very big comfortable and clean rooms with a terrace with pool view. Location is amazing close to everywhere (Market, Port, Restaurant) .Highly recommended to everyone who are traveling with or without children.

Nothing.

Great, authentic place with originality and character. The hotel building, the pool area and the view from our upper studio room balcony were spectacular. Superb value for money overall. Our studio room was clean and cosy. Balcony was just big enough for two people to have evening meal with two chairs (this wasnt shown in hotel photos so I thought to share this as info). The Breakfast which was included in the room rate was good.

Some of the common areas could be tidied a little (even though I loved the rustic style as such). Maybe one more extra hand for the personnel at busiest times. But overall very small minuses.

Great room , very good breakfast and lots of quiet areas to sit including round the pool . The room cleaning was done daily to high standard and we noticed many of the guests were regulars ! Kalymnos had some lovely areas to visit out from the port and some hidden gems . Great value for money !

Poor parking for cars near hotel and difficult to drive round Pothia area but this is not hotels fault .

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 .

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