I will start with the not so good bit(its only a bit!) .
The listing is a bit misleading about the pool as it really isn't finished and there continued to be a work man coming (and not really doing any work!)nearly every day. All around the garden is just mud and unfinished garden landscape. There is an uncovered "hole" where the pool system is. This is not reflected on the pool photo ,on the website. The photo makes it looks very finished . We could not use the pool on the first day which was really disappointing for our children as we specifically chose the property for its pool . Although by day 2 in the afternoon ,the pool was useable and is lovely. The steps into it are a really nice touch. I don't think in its current state the pool area is particularly suitable for younger children but when its all finished, it certainly will be.
But enough moaning! None of this spoilt our stay. In fact it became quite amusing to be so involved with the pool situation and updates! The problems with the pool meant we saw Anthe's lovely dad George every day! He is a legend! He is obviously trying everything he can to get the work finished and he explained the situation to us and was so apologetic and we totally understand how he has been let down by the pool people.So frustrating for him. We understand this is not the owner's fault and will be sorted out very soon.
The house is absolutely gorgeous, clean and with beautiful decor. Ample towels and bedlinen. Really comfortable beds. The wifi was also a blessing for my teenager! The location is great and being able to use St James hotel pool was lovely. The poolside bar and food are also good there.
All your recommendations were perfect for our family. Thank you. They really loved The Escape Room in Rhodes town! In Lardos, we ate at Valentina's and Anthe's cousin's new place -Pennypie(the owner is a Cake Boss!)-both really friendly and lovely food. I loved the vegetarian restaurant , To Marouli , in Rhodes town too . Infact, everywhere we ate was lovely!
We really hope to be able to come back and stay at your place in the next few years and use the outdoor eating area that is planned and get an update on the pool!
We all had an awesome holiday. Debby's (Anthe's mum) vine leaves went down really well with my boys, delivered to the house hot by the unforgettable George (Anthe's dad) .
Thank you and your family for your warm and attentive hosting.
