If you dislike the massive beach tourism of tightly packed sunbeds (which unfortunately is extended in the beautiful island of Rhodes) then Rhodes Retreat is the place for you.
We very much enjoyed our stay at Rhodes Retreat. Katerina was very friendly and helpful and even though she had to be away on a trip during most of our stay, she had equipped the apartment fully so that everything went smoothly. This is a spacious two room apartment at the top of the house with a well equipped kitchen in the front room where there is also a large balcony with great view to the surrounding hills and the sea. The nature around the house is virgin and there is a beautiful lake with pine trees within a km from the house. Traganou beach (a couple of km from the house) is perhaps the best beach of the island mostly free of sunbeds and with crystal clear water. Katerina will also guide you to the best hidden secrets of the island.
The key advantages of this house are the great views from the large balcony, the quietness of the pure nature and the friendly-helpful hosts (Katerina and her parents who often come and stay in another apartment in the same house).
We would have enjoyed it even more if there were some trees around the house and if it was less windy (the house is very much exposed to the wind). We also wished there was a TV (even though the new Wi-Fi was very good) and a better mattress.
Despite of these (and a couple of other) minor issues our overall experience has been very positive and we would choose Rhodes Retreat again in our next visit to the beautiful island of Rhodes.
