We loved our 7nt stay at Sunrise 3, one of the Grand Foundation villas at Vlicha Beach near Lindos. The location offers privacy and gorgeous views but may not be a good fit for those without access to a car. Parking is available right outside the villa which makes unpacking easy.
The pool area is a real highlight of this property. The unheated pool is large and a true infinity allowing you to take in the bay below. There are plenty of comfortable sun loungers, an excellent outdoor kitchen area with bbq and canopy offering all day shade. To my knowledge the pool was cleaned once during our stay.
The villa is very stylishly decorated with spacious rooms, loads of light and an uninterrupted view of the bay. We were left a generous welcome grocery pack which included milk, juice, bread, water, cheese and a number of useful condiments - a lovely touch. Kitchen is well equipped and when cooking meals we found we had every item we needed.
Beds are comfortable, bathrooms are clean and well appointed although sheets and towels are not quite as luxurious as the villa’s other furnishings and amenities. The villa was cleaned with linens refreshed once during our stay.
One thing to mention is that a nearby venue can be noisy at night. It hosted an outdoor dance floor for wedding parties on 4 nights during our week long stay, with the party running past midnight on each occasion. Fortunately the villa has double glazing, black out shutters and good air con which help to mute the noise somewhat, but if you prefer to sleep with windows open this may present an issue.
Communication with Grand Foundation was OK - responses often take +24hrs so do think ahead if you have questions. We received no advice on check out procedure so I hope we left everything in a satisfactory state.
Great property - we’d definitely return.
