One of the joys of Kioni is its beautiful position. Set on the side of a steep valley with the bustling harbour, waterfront tavernas and shops close at hand. Yet just a short walk from all this activity one finds attractive properties in spectacular settings perfect for evenings on the balcony, enjoying sweeping views of the bay and the islands beyond.

Melissa’s is just such a place. Just minutes from Kioni harbour, the apartments have a choice of either a one bedroom apartment on the upper floor, with lovely balcony views leading off the living room, or a two bedroom apartment on the ground floor again with spectacular views taking advantage of the location. Each apartment offers a spacious living/dining room with a separate kitchen and access to large terraces with the same stunning views.

A couple of tiny pebbled coves are within a minutes’ stroll, perfect for an early morning dip. There are further beaches within easy access down a charming lane, shaded by olive, plum and citrus trees.

Naturally there is boat hire available in the harbour for leisurely exploration of the fascinating coastline and well-marked trails through woods and vineyards for the more energetic.

The number of repeat guests returning year after year confirms that Melissa’s House quite simply has a sublime location with panoramic views, making it the perfect place for relaxation.
