Orchid House is a fully renovated traditional stone home in the heart of Melambes, Crete, just 10 km from Agia Galini’s beaches and tavernas. Spanning 100 m² over two floors, it blends authentic Cretan character—exposed stone walls, hand-hewn beams and original stonework—with all the modern comforts you need.

Located along a quiet lane in the village center near a supermarket, Orchid House unfolds over three levels:

• Ground Floor:

  • Double bedroom and twin bedroom, each with built-in wardrobes

  • Fully tiled bathroom with walk-in shower

  • Under-stair storage room

• First Floor:

  • Open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with patio doors to a private courtyard

  • Second fully tiled bathroom

  • Terrace ideal for al fresco dining

  • Staircase to the upper terrace

• Roof Level:

  • Blank canvas for a pergola-shaded roof garden or lounge area

Key modern updates include exposed stone walls and wooden beams seamlessly paired with aluminum double-glazed doors and windows, solar-heated hot water, two air-conditioning units, and ready-to-install radiator hookups (wood stove included).

In this traditional village surrounded by meadows with wild orchids that give the house its name, Orchid House offers an idyllic setting for a turnkey holiday retreat or a lucrative rental property. Distances at a glance:
