“5 Star Authentic Fairytale Greek Cottage on Rhodes!!!”
White Rose deserves ALL THE STARS!! From the gorgeous Santorini style décor of little romantic villa in the hills to the exceptionally warm hospitality of the owners (as well as all the locals in Kalithies), our stay here had the best memories of our week in Rhodes! It’s owned/operated by a sweet young couple who met years ago while she was on vacation from Germany…. they basically took old ruins and rebuilt them into the magical fairytale-like perfection you see in the photos. I’ve been to many Air BNBs and they were the BEST hosts – not only coming down the road to get us when we got a bit lost at night, but welcoming us into the house with AC blasting, a bottle of chilled rose and a delicious charcuterie platter of meats, cheeses and fresh fruits, to calling us trustworthy cabs, making themselves available to meet up with us, and finally sending us off with a really thoughtful gift. Over and above 100%.
It’s in a sweet little town a bit inland on a hill, so there were nice winds to counter the summer heat, and it was a perfect home-base for exploring Faliraki (only 10 min away), the Monastery w/ 300 steps and friendly goats, beautiful crystal blue Tsambika Beach (with soft sand not rocks like the other beaches), gorgeous Lindos castle (even more charming than the big castle in Old Town), and a really fun high speed drive thru the forested interior part of the country on switch back roads.:) In the morning we walked down to Charlie’s bar for excellent coffee and Greek breakfast treats, and at night the couple directed us to an awesome sports bar (again just a couple min walking distance) so we could watch the final between England and Italy - sipping cold beer and free appetizers while sitting on barstools in the street with the locals! Such a memorable experience, we couldn’t have felt more welcome.
We stayed 2 nights in Rhodes old town and 2 at the palladium hotel on the beach in Faliraki and 2 here, but if I could do it again I would stay the entire time here and just drive with our rental car to those other spots. Having a whole house to ourselves made a big difference in feeling like we could each spread out and have our own space to decompress after long hot days of activity. And being able to do laundry was a godsend since we both just brought carry-ons. Honestly, I would live here if I could work remotely! I’ll be back for sure!
Ich kann mich meiner freundin nur anschließen. Die vermieter waren stets hilfsbereit und erreichbar. Absolut liebenswertes haus und bestimmt ein augenschmaus für jeden der leidenschaft für architektur und inneneinrichtung hegt.
nochmals danke für alles
