Villa Lakhania | 7-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Notia Athens

Fourteen guests arrive at Villa Lakhania in Notia, Rhodes, and the first thing they notice is the sound. Not traffic or voices—the Aegean Sea, audible from the moment the car stops. This luxury villa rental on Rhodes’ southeastern coast occupies a rare position: a direct ten-metre pathway separates you from the beach. The property itself is modern, architecturally confident, with contemporary lines that frame views rather than compete with them. You’re renting not just accommodation but a private gateway to one of Greece’s most historically layered islands.

Inside Villa Lakhania

Villa Lakhania sleeps 14 guests across 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, spread across four distinct floor levels that create privacy without isolation. The layout rewards exploration and caters equally to multi-generational families and adult friend groups.

Ground Floor is the social spine. An open-plan living room with fireplace anchors the space—this is where evening conversations drift between English and Greek, where the fire crackles on cooler shoulder-season nights. The fully equipped kitchen sits steps away, fitted with a dishwasher, espresso machine, and the kind of counter space that makes meal preparation feel like collaboration rather than chore. French doors connect this zone directly to the terrace, collapsing the boundary between indoor and outdoor living.

Two double bedrooms on the ground floor have direct terrace access—ideal for guests who want morning coffee on a private patio. A unique split-level bedroom features a mezzanine sleeping platform with a ground-floor seating area and en-suite shower room; this flexible space can accommodate an additional two beds. A guest toilet, family bathroom, and a dedicated gym complete this level’s offerings.

Upper Ground Floor (one step up) contains a twin bedroom and second family bathroom—a useful secondary bathing zone during peak occupancy periods.

First Floor (three steps) holds two double bedrooms, each with private en-suite shower rooms. These elevated rooms capture better ventilation and early morning light without sacrificing privacy from the main social areas below.

Lower Ground Floor (two steps down) features a final double bedroom with en-suite shower room—positioned away from the main thoroughfares, perfect for guests seeking quieter quarters or families with very young children.

Throughout the villa, air-conditioning cools every bedroom. Satellite TV and DVD players provide entertainment for downtime. Hairdryers, premium toiletries, and soft towels signal the attention to detail. A safe box secures valuables. Washing machine and iron facilities mean you can stay longer without constraint. Three additional beds can be added for €50 per person per night, pushing theoretical capacity to 17—though 14 represents optimal comfort.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The 50-square-metre swimming pool dominates the garden’s visual centre, with depths ranging from 1.30 to 1.70 metres—deep enough for diving at the deeper end, shallow enough for children’s play at the shallows. The pool is surrounded by a constellation of sun loungers, their bright cushions visible from the master bedroom terrace. The water reflects the afternoon sky in shades of turquoise and silver.

The furnished terrace—substantial enough to feel like an additional room—is divided into zones. One section features an afresco dining table where sunset meals taste differently, somehow. A shaded covered area with seating and dining capacity offers refuge during the intense midday heat of July and August. The barbecue sits ready: charcoal, tools, and space enough for group cooking.

Beyond the pool deck, the palm-filled garden creates multiple zones for retreat. Lounge seating nestles among the trees, offering shade and a sense of seclusion. You can sit among the greenery and feel both together with your group and apart from them. The lawn extends toward the property’s boundaries, offering room for lawn games or simply staring at sky.

Parking accommodates ten vehicles, a practical consideration for groups arriving in multiple cars. A shower facility allows sand-free transitions between beach and villa.

Location: Notia and the Surrounding Area

Notia occupies the southeastern shoulder of Rhodes, a coastline where Hellenic history meets Mediterranean geography. The village itself is compact, walkable, lined with tavernas serving grilled octopus and local Rhodian wine. The main supermarket sits 2.5km from the villa—close enough for daily provisions, far enough to feel separated from tourism’s machinery.

The nearest named beach, Lakhania Beach, runs directly adjacent to the property. The sand is pale and fine-grained, protected by low cliffs that provide midday shade. More secluded coves lie northward: Pefki Beach (8km), favoured by locals who know how to avoid crowds. Kolympia Beach (22km south) is larger, family-oriented, with golden sand and a reputation for calmer waters. Faliraki (27km north) operates at a different register entirely—a resort town with water sports, beach bars, and a dedicated waterpark ideal for families with teenagers.

The Acropolis of Lindos rises 32km south of Notia, its marble columns visible from the coast on clear days. The site requires a 20-minute drive from Villa Lakhania; the ascent to the summit takes 15 minutes on foot. The archaeological museum at Lindos Old Town contains artefacts spanning three millennia. The Byzantine Church of the Panagia sits at the acropolis peak—the views from this vantage point justify the climb.

Rhodes City (82km north) commands the island’s northern apex. The Palace of the Grand Masters dominates Old Town—a 14th-century fortress with crenellated walls that enclose a warren of medieval streets. The Museum of Modern Greek Art houses works rivalling Athens’ national collections. The Evangelismós Cathedral features frescoes commissioned during the Ottoman occupation. Mandráki Harbour’s waterfront offers seafood tavernas with views across the Aegean. Plan a full day for Rhodes City; the old walls alone warrant three hours of walking.

The Valley of the Butterflies (31km west) preserves a ravine where monarch butterflies congregate each summer—an otherworldly sight when thousands of orange wings flutter in synchrony. Epta Piges (Seven Springs, 29km east) combines natural freshwater springs with walking paths through pine forest. Several wineries operate within 25km: Rhodes Winery remains the largest producer, offering tastings in a showroom overlooking vineyards that carpet the central plateau.

Diagoras International Airport lies 76km northwest, approximately 75 minutes’ drive from Notia via the modern highway. Airport shuttle services can be pre-arranged. Seasonal boat hire operates from nearby ports—daytrips to Symi Island (home to sponge divers and Byzantine monasteries) depart regularly during summer months.

The best time to visit runs from May through October. May and September offer Mediterranean warmth (25–28°C) without July’s oppressive heat (35°C+). June attracts fewer crowds than July; August sees peak European holidays but remains warm and stable. Spring wildflowers (April–May) transform the island’s interior. Winter (November–March) sees temperatures drop to 10–15°C with occasional rain, but offers solitude and lower rental rates.
