The Villa is newly renovated and everything was very clean, modern, and high standard. Combining the charm of a traditional house (wooden roof, thick stone walls that keep the house cool and quiet) with the comfort of modern life (rain shower, smart tv, a/c, fully equipped kitchen). Big plus was the patio for breakfast with a view or relaxed evenings at home. There are two big (comfortable) beds and a sofa. Perfect for a family or good friends (beds are separated from the room with heavy curtains).
The house is located a little up on the hill in the village of fanes. The view was stunning and I enjoyed the peacefulness away from the masses. There is a small restaurant around the corner and beach (3 min drive), shops (bazaar was quite big supermarket nearby) and restaurants are within 5-15 mins driving distance.
There are two Kitesurfing schools directly at Fanes beach, which is the reason why I chose this place. (Can recommend meltemi kite club!)
Airport is 20mins drive, rhodes town a little bit more, other side of the island (tsambika beach) was 30mins.
Yannis was an exceptional host, welcoming me personally and going out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed (stocked fridge for breakfast and water upon arrival, offering to show me around and recommending places.. )
Since I was traveling alone I happily took him up on his offer for a bbq with traditional greek food prepared on the villas fire place. His lovely wife Sophia joined us too and we spent a memorable evening together.
Communication was easy and prompt before and during my stay!
I wish all my airbnb experiences to be more like this!
