My best Airbnb experience yet. The house not only fulfilled but exceeded our expectations.
Driving down the road through the forest we already felt transported to a realm of serenity and quietness. All you saw was the forested hills and valley and all you heard were the sounds of nature, the birds and the wind above the background sound of the cicadas. That was something we hadn’t felt for a long time, since we usually dwell in big cities.
At the house, we felt very far away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded cosmopolitan Rhodes city although it is actually only 5 minutes away from it and from the best beaches.
The house, the gardens and the views are as beautiful as shown in the pictures and beyond. Everything showed the owners attention in every detail giving the house a warm and homey energy.
Every time of the day there were always cool spots with shade to relax in the garden and verandas around the house. The feeling of the place was so relaxing that there were moments that we didn’t want to leave the house. We spent time appreciating the place itself either hanging out all together, or isolated in the separated spaces in the garden and verandas around the house ( we were two couples). The moon rising view from the veranda was just epic.
I was a bit worried about the lack of AC, but it turned out that the house was cool enough by the breeze through the windows and the ceiling fans. The owner told us that the house was orientated and situated among existing trees so that it was kept cool by design, and it really was. An actual eco villa.
Everything listed on the house description was accurate and the whole place was immaculately clean.
The hosts were a pleasure to deal with, very warm hearted, helpful and very concerned about our needs. They were also an invaluable source of advice for exploring the island.
We had a memorable experience and we highly recommend it. Thanks for everything Spyros and Vivi we will definitely be back.
