Villa Erinna Greece
Holiday Home Rental Description
Gennadi is perhaps one of the most beautiful villages in Rhodes; a real Greek village with all the charm and friendliness that Greece has to offer, a little bit of paradise. Villa Erinna is a fabulous property with accommodation for up to 8 guests, perfect for large families with children or anyone in need of accommodation without too many steps. The inside of the property is barrier-free; the only steps at the villa are the six as you enter the building from the beautifully paved courtyard.
From the courtyard, you enter into a bright open-plan area with a large lounge, the sofas arranged around an open fire and satellite TV, a fully fitted kitchen and dining area. The bedrooms are also accessed from this area.
There are four beautiful double rooms all with blackout blinds – one with an en-suite shower room, two with doors opening onto the terrace and one with twin beds, ideal for small children. There is also a separate bathroom.
Large patio doors lead from the lounge onto a beautiful covered terrace where there is a dining table large enough to accommodate a full complement of guests. From here you look out onto the garden and fabulous swimming pool with outside shower, sun loungers with umbrellas and a hammock, who will be able to resist trying to get on board?
The garden is beautifully laid out, extensive lawn with crazy paving, mature shrubs and trees all round to ensure your privacy, there is also a vegetable patch and fruit trees – should you be lucky enough to be there at the right time the produce is yours to use, how wonderful is that?
The paved courtyard area is very traditional looking with another dining table and chairs set around the enormous fully equipped built-in barbecue, the loveliest of settings for your evening meal.
With modern features, great facilities and only 200m from the beach, Villa Erinna has everything you could want for your holiday. If you are looking for a quiet beach with inviting clear water and unspoiled views, it is here on your doorstep. The stunning Gennadi beach is a part of a seemingly endless stretch of a mix of sand and pebbles that goes on as far as the eye can see.
Kiotari beach only 4km from Gennadi, really an extension of Gennadi beach offers magical and slightly different holiday activities. Kiotaris Rocking Horse Ranch is a hidden gem; quirky, quaint stables offering treks for absolute beginners and experienced riders. Take a guided trek through the forest, down onto the beach and even into the sea! Or the ultimate romantic experience a 2-hour sunset trek – out of this world. They even offer transport from your villa. Or, why not hire a glass-bottomed boat, your crew will love seeing the fish swim underneath them and be fascinated at the other sea creatures they see.
Lindos town, 22km away, is so very beautiful and most definitely worth a visit. A hillside village of brilliant white houses, mosaic lined streets, small shops – some of which are in tunnels cut into the rock! It’s hard not to notice the ancient Acropolis when visiting. It rises above sea level, situated on a cliff over 100 meters high, all the paved streets that are dotted with traders, lead to the Acropolis. To get up to the Acropolis, you need to negotiate a steep stepped footpath, however, there is another way – you can ride on a donkey to the top of the hill. The donkeys line up like taxis inside the rock to keep out of the heat of the day. At the top of the Acropolis, you will find a real treasure – the temple of the goddess Athena Linda. It looks exactly the way we envisage the ancient ruins of temples, the tall white columns glistening in the sun.
One of the most beautiful religious sites of the island, Moni Thari Monastery, is located near the village of Laerma 25km away. It is hidden in the dense forest, and it may not be noticed from the road. During its construction in the 12th and 13th centuries, there was a high threat of piracy, so it was hidden this way. Inside the main church of the monastery, you can find beautiful frescos of great historical value from the Middle Ages. Although there are no official tours around the monastery, some of the monks who live here are happy to talk about the site’s history.
