Where to begin! The villa itself was everything you could ever wish for and more. Paradise with extras. The whole setting was absolutely beautiful and idyllic. Beautifully maintained with every thing you could ever need. The many seating areas made it perfect for everyone no matter what you wanted to do, quiet shady spaces to read, chat or chill. Sun drenched lounger space by the fabulous pool or a seat by the bbq which had a beautiful through breeze.
A short walk to town if you wanted to tear yourself from the villa where there are bars, shops, restaurants, supermarkets and local car hire or if you prefer you can catch the bus to almost everywhere. We did a bit of everything - walk, bus, car hire. The bus to Rhodes town took about 15 mins and was just over €2. We hired a car to go to Lindos, Stegna beach where we also had the best seafood and 7 Springs ( which we were disappointed in ).
Our hosts - what can we say? The best and loveliest hosts we have ever experienced. Nothing and we mean NOTHING WAS TOO MUCH TROUBLE. If you wanted the local supermarket Mr Nikos would take you any time of day or night. Mrs Nikos made us a scrumptious Greek pasta dish on our second day which was gorgeous. Mr Nikos was more than happy to help with local knowledge, best beaches, best restaurants, where to go and what time of day was best- both he and his wife are the best hosts you could wish for. The whole holiday was more like staying with friends. You could interact as much or as little as you wanted - we like the interaction and making new friends so we’re very happy to spend time with our hosts. On our last day they held a bbq for us, the food and effort was beyond compare and we had an amazing time.
We hired our car from ‘Spirit’ - the brochures are in the villa - brilliant service. I emailed them and they replied within a few hours with all the details and dropped the car off at the villa the next morning at the agreed time - really nice staff too- highly recommend.
We could go on forever about the villa and Mr and Mrs Nikos but you can be absolutely sure this will be one of the most fabulous holidays you will ever have. Their hospitality is beyond compare and their villa is paradise - we cannot recommend enough - you must go!
