If it’s a fuss-free escape you’re after, then look no further than this achingly beautiful two-storey villa to the south of Rhodes. Upon arrival, you'll be awestruck by the traditional exterior – from the white stone walls, mint green-coloured windows and wooden terraces, it's all very Greek. Stepping inside to look around, you'll find an impressive timber-framed living space, where exposed stone archways welcome you to unwind and relax in style. Modern furnishings and hemp decor keep things extra cosy, while the mezzanine bedroom and open-plan layout shape the space as a whole. Ascend the stairs to a dedicated workstation and a comfortable bedroom. After resisting a snooze, put together a platter of traditional Greek fare to be enjoyed out on the delightful alfresco dining area, complete with covered seating for the entire group. Spend hot afternoons swimming in one of two pools, before picking out a lounger to while away the hours under the hot Mediterranean sunshine. When it's time for an early-evening cocktail, head to the idyllic roof terrace, overlooking the green natural landscape. While you could easily spend your entire day hanging out at home, we recommend you do take the short drive to the nearest sandy beach at Lachania, just a five-minute drive away by car.
