Gil was a wonderful host and provided us with very quick responses to our queries and also provided some really wonderful recommendations for places to eat. Alan who looks after the property for Gil is also very helpful and offers some further advice for places to visit and suggestions for when to visit places. This proved particularly valuable for our visit to the Lindos acropolis as he suggested we went early (before 9am) and when we left the queue to get in (which we walked past thankfully) was insane.
The property is very well maintained and was very clean when we arrived. It also received a clean during our 2 week stay which was a very nice touch (and not the norm compared to other properties we have stayed in).
Gil suggested we made use of Lidl near the airport prior to driving to the villa and this was very welcome as the local supermarkets can be quite expensive.
The adjacent Taverna, Molos restaurant was very busy at the weekends but not so during the week and provides very good Greek food, cold beer and is only 200 yards down the road, although the road can get quite busy so a side seat is preferable to the front area.
Snorkelling is absolutely fantastic in the crystal clear waters opposite the villa and at many other beaches including Glystra beach just down the road, although parking can be awkward at busy times.
Overall we had a fabulous time in Rhodes and at Gils villa and would definitely recommend both.
