3 of us adults and 4 teenagers stayed at Villa Pyrgo for 11 nights in July/August and what a brilliant holiday it was! We all cannot speak highly enough of the villa itself and the outstanding hospitality from Nikolaos (Simply Greek Villas). Communication from the start was friendly, quick and informative. Check-in was smooth (we got in late/midnight but Nikolaos left us keys and came to see us the following day) and we were kindly allowed a late check-out which we were thankful for. Nikolaos also arranged clean/comfortable transfer to and from the airport for us by Petra (?) who was also very friendly and efficient and we also used his service for lifts to Faliraki Beach. The villa was in a great position, just a 2 min walk to a large supermarket (go right out of the villa) and a large Spar left out of the villa where you can also catch the number 10 bus into Rhodes Old Town for about 2 euros (get off the bus at M&S and the Old Town is a few mins walk away). Taxi for up to 4 people into Rhodes Town is 10 euros. The beach is only a few mins walk from the villa (you can get out of the bottom of the garden using the set of keys). There are a number of good restaurants within a 5 min walk from the villa. We also can highly recommend Pita Fan for delicious gyros (3 euros) if you want a quick takeaway, which is only 5 min walk away. We booked a boat trip (via the excursion company down the road) over to Lindos for the day, which was a great day and cheap at only 22 euros each on Triton Cruises!
In the villa itself there is a bedroom with 4 single beds at the front of the property and a double on the opposite side at the back. There is also a small bathroom with a shower over the bath separating the quad room and the kitchen. The small but completely adequate kitchen leads out onto the beautiful pool area with comfortable sun loungers, lounge area, bean bags and dining table. To the side of the pool is a large, separate double room with it's own small kitchen and larger bathroom. The well-maintained pool was a lovely temperature, inviting but not too cold. There were lots of trees and bushes in the garden where you could pick delicious figs, rosemary, basil, lemons and limes (plus avocados later in the year).
The villa was clean and comfortable and being on a main road the noise really didn't bother us at all, day or night. There was air-con in each bedroom which kept it lovely and cool. There were also large beach/pool towels provided.
What made our holiday extra special was the friendly hospitality. Nikolaos left us some staple food items for our arrival and also kindly brought us wine and fresh eggs as gifts during stay. He was always available on whatsapp for any queries and would message us prior to coming over to check it was convenient. Superb service. Thanks Nikolaos and Simply Greek Villas! We will definitely recommend your villa and service.
