Villa Mandilaria

About this property

Those looking to embrace the outdoors, spend long days in the sunshine and soak in the incredible landscapes of Rhodes island, should look no further than Villa Mandilaria. This spacious four-bedroom property flows inside and out, with panoramic views of the ocean, and stunning picture frame windows throughout the villa that draw the horizon inside. Located in Afandou, just 16 kilometres from the city of Rhodes, this is an ideal base for exploring the island.

From the moment you arrive, the contemporary style is evident through the simple, sleek architecture and luxury, modern furnishings. Mixing white with splashes of blue and turquoise, the colour palette emphasises the effect of the sparkling ocean in the distance.

As soon as you enter the villa there is a wave of calm, with stylish living areas gracefully leading from one room to another, maintaining a constant view of the ocean. On the ground floor, an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space is the heart of the home, with plenty of room for everyone to come together. Through the rest of the villa, there are two en-suite double bedrooms, as well as two twin rooms and a shared family bathroom. The layout is well suited to a family or group of friends, with space for everyone to enjoy their own privacy, as well as social moments together.

Villa Mandilaria is designed for outdoor living, with sliding glass doors expanding the living areas onto the terrace, and vast exterior spaces creating every opportunity to enjoy the sunshine and Grecian atmosphere. With a stylish outdoor kitchen, barbecue and dining space under a partial shelter, al-fresco meals are the best way to enjoy each evening, spending quality time with your loved ones away from any worries of day to day life.

The large private swimming pool takes pride of place on the terrace, glittering in the sunlight, and offering the perfect opportunity to cool off on hot summer days. Surrounding the pool there are relaxed seating areas, comfy sun loungers and bean bags, as well as open space where kids can play. Villa Mandilaria has something for everyone, the ideal ocean retreat!

Hugely popular as a tourist destination, Rhodes is an island with more than its fair share of natural beauty and landmark sights. Easy to reach, with an international airport, Diagoras, about 20 minutes’ drive from the capital, it would be a shame to miss out on discovering its charms for yourself.

The town of Rhodes is as good a place to start as any and lies on the northern tip of the island. A walk along the medieval walls of the Old Town will offer you some beautiful views, accessible from the must-see Palace of the Grand Masters. Part of a World Heritage Site, this is also the location of a fine museum which offers the chance to familiarise yourself with Rhodian history, extending as far back as the 3rd century BC.

Another museum worth checking out is the Museum of Modern Greek Art, with an eclectic collection only rivalled by Athens. The New Town area is visually appealing itself, with an Art Deco influence present in much of its architecture. Mandráki harbour is the home of Evangelismós Cathedral, where you can find some impressive frescoes.

Along the coast, Lindos Acropolis is as spectacular as the coastal views it offers, and definitely worth seeing. Also down the coast, you also have resorts such as Ammoudes, Kolympia and, perhaps best-known, Faliraki. While its reputation may precede it, this is not the hedonism capital it once was. A children’s water-park and the beautiful Anthony Quinn Bay may tempt you there during the day, and an aquarium and scuba-diving school also embrace the aquatic theme.

At the very southern tip of the island, Prasonisi’s location – dividing the Aegean and the Mediterranean – is considered prime windsurfing territory. But if that sounds a little too exhilarating, Rhodes’ more sedate attractions like the Valley of the Butterflies, numerous wineries and the seven springs of the wonderfully scenic Epta Piges nature reserve, will provide just as pleasant a day out.
