Melenos Lindos Hotel, Rhodes

The Melenos-Lindos hotel has a spectacular setting of nature and history for its distinctive accommodation: it nestles within the high rocky flank of the ancient Lindos Acropolis and offers a panorama of the Aegean Sea and distant coastline.

Blending with the heritage village style, the hotel's white-washed and sandstone buildings containing the twelve suites and public areas, branch off a central stairway, giving the appearance of -- a village within a village.

Adapting the early 17th century Lindian architecture, the venue 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. Gardens with bougainvillea, frangipani, lavender and jasmine, complete the sensuous and sophisticated setting.
