Don’t let the simple décor fool you – this place is a great setting for a relaxing island retreat. Soak up gorgeous views of the Aegean Sea as you unwind in the living room or make a beeline for the marble-tiled bathroom where you’ll find a selection of spa facilities that’ll have you feeling relaxed faster than you can say ‘Rhodes’. Outside a sweet garden awaits, offering plenty of seating for kicking back with a fruity cocktail while one of your fellow guests fires up the barbecue. Gather around the patio table for an alfresco meal or forgo dinner for the time-being and cool off with a well-deserved dip in the pool. On days when you fancy getting out and about, you’ll be pleased to find yourself within easy reach of Kolymbia town centre – but for now, why not just sit back and enjoy the view?
