Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were a party of 5 and went to Rhodes for a 50th birthday celebration. The villa is beautiful and well maintained. Delightful outdoor living space and pool area. There was a cleaning fee of €140 to be paid on arrival. I honestly don’t remember seeing this when we booked the villa. This is not included in the Airbnb service fee or booking system. Now perhaps I missed it first time but we did not notice this until after we booked. Nice kitchen with all amenities and BBQ on site. No charcoal but the nearest shop is only a 5 minute walk either side of front gate left to spar and cafes restaurants and right to supermarket bakery shops etc. Beach and beach bars down through the garden path both options left out back gate to beach bars and tavernas and cafes and Philips cafe bar to right then it meets the main road. This back road is not as busy as the main road and runs alongside the beach with lots of beach access. The main road is very busy and very noisy. But all the living space is to the rear of the house so not as noisy. It didn’t bother me so much but some of our party couldn’t handle the road noise. Bring a portable speaker for tunes. We had a problem with the mattress in the annex but hopefully that will be sorted out soon. There is no comfortable seating area inside to accommodate a group. Luckily it’s outdoor living climate. Outdoor couches are very comfortable.
The pool lighting is great in the evening and the smells from the garden at dusk are delightful. Old town is 10 mins on the bus. Bus costs €2.20 pp each way. Old town is stunning and well worth a visit or 3. We took a sail boat trip and went swimming at a lovely secluded bay. €180 for3 hours. You can also take boat day trips to falariki or Lindos etc for €22 return pp
Rhodes is a wonderful island and the people are just so accommodating. Such friendly helpful people.
€17 in taxi to airport. It will take an hour or just over to get thru passport control and we flew out at 00.30 am and still the queue was endless. Make sure you leave in plenty of time.
We had good communication with Nicholas’s friend who was looking after the villa. Very helpful. There was no written instructions left regarding villa life so you do need to contact him for all queries.
Really enjoyed our stay.
Happy holidaying.
