When we saw this place on Airbnb we thought, WOW! We were drawn to the traditional authentic look of the villa and the lush looking pool. We were not disappointed when we arrived, it look just like the pictures and it immediately felt right.
Communication was great and airport transfers were provided. Fresh fruit and bread along with local beer and wine in the fridge to wash it down was also lovely to see. There were only 4 our us travelling so plenty of room for me my husband and a room each for the children, accommodation would be comfortable for up to 7 people. Plenty of outdoor seating and shade when required and fresh lemons (straight off the tree) for my gin and tonic. The only one downside was that is was a a busy main road and my daughter said the front room could be quite noisy however that's what you get for staying in a central convenient location, saying this the property was very secure and well fenced! We didn't notice any road noise outside the back.
Location wise there were lots of choices of food and drink close by, the closest (turn left out the front) Pita Fan 5 minutes walk for a quick fix, for sit in and takeaway and many more further down. We run out of time to turn right but there appeared to be more choice if you headed that way. AB Supermarket was across the road which had a fantastic range of fresh cheese, produce and bread along with everything else you may run out of of have forgotten.
It was about a 10 minute drive (€15-20 in a taxi) into Rhodes town, where we spent two days. My daughters seemed excited by Zara, Stradvarius and Bershka (which seems to be outlet stores) along with others in the new town.
House and pool were very clean and the pool was cleaned regularly. Sophie welcomed us and also bought us some fresh baking when we left which was a lovely thought and took the edge of leaving.
