This villa was ideal for me and my wife and our two teenage sons, with 3 generous bedrooms each configured with a double bed at our request. The architecture, interior design and furnishings were super stylish and comfortable, the temperature of the heated pool was perfect: we stayed at the end of October, and all of us enjoyed swimming in it every day, including after dark. Everything about the villa lived up to the photographs and the property listing. Our host Takis was really helpful and communicative throughout the process, from booking to departure. Even though we arrived late on a Sunday night, Takis was there to meet us, and had thoughtfully provided some essentials like tea, milk, cereal and juice. This was a very welcome touch, since we knew the shops were already closed.
This part of Ialysos is not necessarily the most beautiful, the coast having been somewhat compromised by the economics of mass tourism, but with Momentum Villas Takis has created a gorgeous haven of calm and style in a super-convenient location. Ialysos is just a 15 minute taxi ride from the airport, while beautiful Rodos old town is only 3 miles further up the coast, and there is a taxi stand literally right at the end of the driveway. (Side-note: taxis in Rhodes are very reasonably priced and taxi stands show a fixed tariff for each major destination.)
I rented a moped for the week from a lovely guy called Hussain just down the road - he also rents out mountain bikes. The guy next to him has a groovy yellow beach buggy which we rented on my birthday just for the day and took a fun trip across to Kalithea Beach.
The smart-TV in the villa has the Netflix app so you can use your own login details. This rescued us from boredom on the one day that it rained, though we still played around in the pool too that day.
The back garden has dining furniture and sun loungers and the building has been well-designed to offer privacy from the neighbouring villas (which are also owned and managed by Takis and his wife.)
Nearby there is an ancient hilltop monastery (Filerimos) which has peacocks and a fabulous view of this part of the island. It is a very short drive / moped ride / mountain bike ride away from the villa (I tried all three methods!) This was our first time visiting the island of Rhodes, but hopefully not our last. If we make it back there we will definitely stay in one of the Momentum Villas again.
