La Casa del Germanos was a magical place, you could feel the history of Rhodes around you - we really felt like we were living in a Roman Villa! It is exactly like in the photos, just better in every way. We loved the courtyard/atrium open to the sky; our favourite place was relaxing outside the bedroom on the balcony with the pink bougainvillea waving in the breeze, a glass of wine in one hand, eating sweet peaches, figs and tomatoes...perfect! The bedroom was fantastic, a generous space with a comfy king size bed and beautiful white, embroided cotton sheets. The tower room and terrace were wonderful retreats and both had the most fantastic view of Rhodes. 'Germanos' is on top of a hill so not only were the views fantastic but there was always a breeze to help cool the rooms in summer. The whole house was clean and tidy when we arrived, and then cleaned again each week which was great as we stayed for 3 weeks. Paola and her friend Iben could not have been more friendly and helpful. They were so easy to contact and any query was immediately answered including arranging a taxis for us, most appreciated when you arrive after a long flight and then have to catch a very early one out of Rhodes. We appreciated the breakfast basket that Paola left us and the bottle of Ozzo was a lovely extra. 2 family bakeries with delicious baklava and strong esspresso coffees were only minutes away as was the supermarket and a great wine cellar in an historic building down in the main square. Everyone spoke almost perfect English making it just so easy to find our way around. Within the ancient walled town of Old Rhodes everything is so close and within easy walking distance and ancient sites and wonderful historic buildings are almost on your doorstep. Thankyou to Paola and Iben for making our stay in Rhodes such a special experience, La Casa del Germanos was the most perfect Roman Villa to stay in...especially if you love Greek and Roman history as we do! We highly recommend Paola's house to anyone who wants a wonderful and unique experience in Old Rhodes.
