Gennadi villas

This is our second time staying at Hermione Villa and we were just as pleased with our stay as we were last year. Splitting our two week holiday between Rhodes town and Gennadi, the second half at Gennadi is very chilled in comparison to Rhodes town with few people on the beach and a reasonably secluded villa location. The villa itself is spacious both inside and out giving more than enough room for two or three couples to enjoy the space. The pool is well maintained and the outdoor BBQ area is well thought out. The villa owner popped in on the first day to make sure everything was ok and asked us to call him if there were any issues which was a nice touch. When we arrived at the Villa there were some essentials and goodies to greet us - also a very nice touch. Although seasonably secluded with a twin villa next door, the beach is only a ten minute walk away and is not busy. Likewise Gennadi town is only a ten minute walk away and has a good selection of restaurants to choose from.

The Castor villa was even more beautiful than the photos. Spotlessly clean, with gorgeous design features and everything we needed for a comfortable stay.The terrace and pool area was everything we hoped for. Plenty of seating options, shaded areas and a fabulous view to the sea.Gennadi is a small town with everything nearby for a self catering holiday. Great bakery, fruit and veg shop and supermarket. Along with good restaurants and bars; we’d recommend Antonis (on the beach), Temptation Taverna and Kourkoutavlos (bar) in the town.

The property is in a very peaceful location - the beach is deserted, with sunbeds & shades, water lovely & warm even in late October. The villa is exactly as advertised, the pool is bigger than it seems in the photos, the hot tub is wonderful - so relaxing in the cooler evenings. The balconies have excellent views of the sea/mountains. The villa has all you could want, plus lots more. Beds are comfortable, kitchen well equipped, everything is as advertised and works, and the hosts made us most welcome with a hot meal delivered the first evening and a fully stocked fridge & mini bars! The teens also had many hours of fun with the full size table tennis table. We have very special memories, thank you.

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly - Angela was excellent, kind and very helpful from the start, getting in contact the night before we were to arrive, right through to our leaving day. The house is as described, with plenty of space and a lovely sized pool. Inside staircase not good for those with accessibility issues, but outside staircase also available with a downstairs bedroom good for accessibility. The pool area has plenty of chairs and shade as well as open space, and was kept clean throughout our stay. The location was excellent - walking distance (30mins) to Gennardi town with a fabulous bakery, cocktail bar, supermarket (with meat and deli counter) and plenty of restaurants to choose from. Gennardi has a local feel if you are wanting to get away from the tourist crowds of Lindos and other more popular areas. Great location for day trips to Lindos, Paronisi (a must), across to the vineyards and Kamiros on the west coast. Good local pebble beach, restaurants and bar within short walking distance. We didn't want to leave!

First time in Gennadi. We thought at first perhaps the restaurants had lost the old Greek feel. But Gennadi is a lovely village and friendly people and largely unspoilt by all the tourism. It was hot! Had been all this year. Thank goodness for the lovely pool and sea. We needed a car not because of distance to beach and village - but because of the hot temperatures. One day would love to come again.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. Katerina is such a friendly and helpful host. We had a wonderful time.

Stayed at the Blue Pearl for 11 days and could not fault it. My family and I had a fantastic time and would highly recommend. We have been to Rhodes before but stayed in a hotel, we will definitely be visiting again.

Was there anything that Flora hadn't thought of? Eggs, ham, cheese, bread, olives, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, some tinned goods, pasta, beer, wine, coffee (three types) milk, honey, spices, jam. Anything I've missed? Pristine clean property. Lots of space. Air conditioning in all rooms. Well appointed kitchen. Large outdoor patio and garden leading down to what felt like a private beach ( late May - don't rely on this in August!) Only quibble - the swimming pool needs a better filter I think, as it is not so pleasant to share with half the gnat nation. But - what a welcome! It wouldn't be so isolated if next door had been occupied. Also, the area does not allow for much sight seeing, but that's Greece for you. This option so, so much better in this reviewer's opinion than the souless inclusive hotels that line the bay towards Lindos.
