Villa was very clean and the layout is perfect for a large group. We were 2 families consisting of 9 people from 13-84 and we all had our own room and bathrooms were plenty. The facilities are also very useful, coffee machine, toaster, sandwich maker, microwave, indoor and outdoor cooking and second kitchenette area upstairs with an extra fridge for water and a washing machine. The views and sunsets are spectacular…. A hire car is a must although taxis would work too. The villa is at the top of a large hill, we took a few runs and walks and came across all kinds of fruit and vegetables growing on the lane which was cool to see. There are a lot of cats/kittens around the villa so you have to keep the screens shut but it wasn’t a problem for us. Most of the cats keep away except for one cute little Black and white kitten that we nicknamed Alice. She’s cute and very interested in what’s going on. There was also a dog chained up but all of the houses had them, I believe the dog is for insurance purposes. It has a shaded house and always had fresh water and food every day. It was never a problem for us. The location of the villa is close to the airport but maybe just a tad far from Rhodes old town but we didn’t find it a problem, it’s a 25 min drive. There are plenty of nice restaurants on the sea front near the villa. Mariposa being one we really enjoyed, all the restaurants near the villa are reasonably priced. Be careful when you go to the old town always ask for a menu and prices and don’t let them give you anything bigger than a small beer as they come served in a big welly glass containing 4 pints which was funny at first but soon became annoying due to the cost and the beer getting warm and flat. The small one contains 1.5 pints.
The sandy beaches are on the other side of the island, again a 30-40 min drive and the water is beautifully clear and blue. If you have young kids the water park in Faliraki was fun and was 20 euros PP. Overall fantastic Villa and Holiday. Thanks Ntina !
