There were 9 of us staying at Irene’s place, and it was very comfortable for that many people.
Olive Villa accommodated our group of 9 perfectly. There was plenty of space for group gatherings, as well as quiet nooks for quiet moments. The ping pong table was a plus for the competitors among us, and the pool was enjoyed by all. The setting is picturesque, peaceful, and secluded. In this lovely villa, we were far from the crazy crowds of places like Old Rhodes and Lindos. The only noise came from the rustling of branches in the olive grove and the occasional rooster crow. Irene is an incredible hostess. She not only welcomed us warmly, but gave us many excellent recommendations for places to dine, grocery shop, park in tourist sites, etc. She even helped one of us retrieve a lost pair of glasses at the local supermarket!
The walk to the local beach is doable hike, but bring water and sturdy shoes. The beach is pebbly, so be prepared. There are many sandy beaches just a short drive away.
If you seek a place that is quiet but close to the major attractions of the northern and eastern portions of Rhodes, you’ll enjoy Olive Villa.
