Stella and JC welcomed my girlfriend and I into their villa and spent a good amount of time covering all the aspects of the villa, so much so that once they left it already felt like I was at home and knew where everything was and how it worked.
The place was fantastic, the drive into the residential area a little precarious with little street lighting but that’s only because it’s new, in fact the villa was the first built in the area. Others have since been built as the area becomes established.
The villa itself was spacious, clean and well equipped. It had everything you need for a stay. Being on top of a hill it does get a little windy at times, I can see that being a positive though during some of the hotter summer season.
The pool outdoors isn’t heated, quite understandably so but take note if that’s not your thing. To be honest, after getting in and getting my hair wet i could hardly tell it wasn’t heated.
Despite there being only myself and my girlfriend on this trip, I can’t go without mentioning the outdoor space. So much space and seating for sun lounging and entertaining. A BBQ and gas grill along with sink made for great meal prep and Al fresco dining as we watched the sun set on the island.
Aircon units are scattered everywhere throughout the villa and do a great job of managing the temperature and climate to your chosen preference.
The real gem here is Stella herself. I can’t imagine finding a host who is as friendly and helpful as her. She was available at anytime to help with making bookings or give advice, simply mentioning being out at a certain location she would come back to me with advice on where to get the best and most authentic food & drink or which beach was good, even down to which part of the beach to seek out. Her knowledge of the island really is priceless and her help really set us up for the best time we could’ve hoped for.
Can’t wait to get out to Rhodes again and will for sure be in touch with Stella about my accommodation needs.
