85107 Lindos Rodos
Greece
Whilst paying homage to the simple Lindian village architecture, the detail of the sandstone facades with their hand carved motifs; paved pebble mosaics and handcrafted interiors are breathtaking. Colour from trailing Bougainvilleas, fragrance from Frangipani, Lavender and Jasmine complete the ambience.
A passion for Greek history and culture combined with 21st century expectations of luxury and service will make your stay at the Melenos Lindos an unforgettable experience.
The design of the rooms of Melenos-Lindos are inspired by the traditional Lindos style which evolved in the 17th C. Each room has an individual variation of the distinctive raised wooden sleeping platforms built from elaborate hand-carved cedar. Some rooms have hand painted ceilings and Lindian pointed arches; some have big inviting corner sofas for lounging and reading. Every room contains a unique selection of fabrics, ceramics and rare items from the collection of owner-operator Michalis Melenos.
Each of the immaculate ensuite bathrooms in the hotel has a striking, Iznik style hand-painted ceramic tile panel executed in Turkey by the artist-designer. Air-con, IDD, email connection, mini bar, TV, DVD library access and luxurious Frette linen complete the inviting ensemble.

Elaborate cedar woodwork with ultramarine blue glass divides the bathrooms, each distinguished with a pair of big basins and a wet area which has a marble hamam basin.
Restaurant at Melenos Lindos
Our highly qualified chefs have imagination and enthusiasm and a diverse approach to their menus. While respecting their Greek tradition and the aromatic influences from Asia Minor, they seek a broader balance without limitation; always eager to try a new combination of ingredients and flavours to widen their already impressive repertoire.
However, like all reputable chefs these days, they acknowledge that high quality fresh raw ingredients are the essential basis to a good meal; they understand that often only very subtle enhancement is enough to give a dish individuality.

Because of its strategic position between the East and the West, the island of Rhodes attracted many invading forces. When the Ottomans took control of Rhodes in 1523, Lindos prosperity continued. By the early 17th C the unique style of the Lindos Mansions had evolved. These distinctive houses form the basis of the design inspiration for Melenos-Lindos
