Villa Melenos Lindos

Description

This hotel has a spectacular setting of nature and history for its distinctive accommodation: it nestles within the high above the ancient Lindos Acropolis and offers a panorama of the Aegean Sea and distant coastline. Adapting the early 17th century Lindian architecture, this Lindos luxury hotel is uniquely enriched with an array of detail throughout hand carved stone facades, elaborate carved woodwork, hand-painted ceramics, as well as decorative painted ceilings. Massive stone walls support the guests' private terraces paved with pebble mosaics. On terraces overlooking the Aegean and the distant coastline, the twelve suites of hotel share the same traditional 17th century style. However, each room has an individual ambiance, depending upon its size and orientation within the complex. The suites contain luxurious mattresses which are set on large traditional Lindian raised wooden platforms. Specially executed hand-painted ceilings and ceramic panels, old carved village doors, mother-of-pearl inlay furniture and mirror frames, marble mosaic floors, combine with luxury items and natural bath amenities. By 2007 the combination of all these unique aspects, led this Hotel to become a member of prestigious Small Luxury Hotels of the World.
