About this property
You’ll be charmed when you vacation in the super stylish Villa Suave, set in the exclusive suburb of Koskinou, near the north coast of the Greek island of Rhodes, where the Southern Aegean meets the Mediterranean Sea. This architect-designed, two-storey, detached villa has three spacious double bedrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to six guests, ideal for a family holiday, or a group of friends sharing. The villa is set in its own spacious grounds, surrounded by traditional stone walls, high fencing, and tall trees, which gives it a sense of security, privacy, and seclusion.
The property comes complete with all the mods and cons, including complimentary air conditioning and Wi-Fi throughout, plenty of space for secure parking, and your own private swimming pool. The exterior is constructed out of classic Mediterranean whitewashed walls and terracotta tiles, with floor-to-ceiling French doors that open onto the pool terrace and city-view balconies. The interiors are cool and contemporary, furnished with modern pieces, tiled and parquet floors, lots of natural wood, and decorated in a sophisticated colour palette of crisp clean whites, contrasting black, and shades of grey and beige.
Enter the villa and be wowed by the light and airy, open-plan living space, with two sets of double doors that open onto the pool terrace. The unique hexagonal, black and white, tiled sitting room is home to two nearly-black comfy sofas and matching armchairs, arranged around wooden coffee tables, facing a flat-screen television, and an enclosed wood-burning fire for those cooler months and cosy evenings, all housed under a sparkling chandelier. In a nook, there is a bench-style six-seater wooden table, ideal for some informal indoor dining. With a curved wall, the monochrome kitchen is fully equipped with all the latest appliances which you will need to cater for your holiday, including that must-have Nespresso coffee maker. A handy guest cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
Take the stairs to the first floor where you will find three spacious double bedrooms. The all-white master bedroom has a king-size bed, an inviting chaise longue, fitted wardrobes, an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in glass-fronted shower, and a superb pool and city-view furnished balcony. There other two bedrooms have double and twin beds, access to the balcony, and share a large family size bathroom, complete with a bathtub and shower.
Venture outdoors, where there is a paved terrace, and a stunning seven-sided, step-entry swimming pool, surrounded by sun loungers. Cool off under the poolside shower. Relax in the hammock as you catch up with this year’s best seller. Meet for cocktails at sunset in the comfortable soft seating spot. Dine alfresco under the purpose-built brick pergola, as you feast on dishes freshly grilled on the barbeque, and raise a toast to the most memorable holiday.
Villa Suave can be found in the exclusive residential area of Koskinou, near the north coast of the beautiful Greek island of Rhodes. Rhodes is the jewel in the crown of the Dodecanese Islands, set where the Southern Aegean meets the Mediterranean Sea. The villa is just eleven kilometres from Rhodes’ Diagoras International Airport, a short twenty-minute journey away. In the quaint village of Koskinou, there are local mini markets for daily provisions, and cute cafes for morning coffee and evening retsina.
There are lots of famous beautiful family-friendly beaches within a five-kilometre radius, take your pick from Kalithea, Kokkina, Agia Marina, Nikolas, Tasos, and fun-filled Falariki. Many local sights are a short drive from the villa, including Kalithea Springs, Rhodes Waterpark, Rodini Park, Diagoras Stadium, Andreas Papandreou Park, and the Acropolis of Rhodes. Some of the very best sightseeing can be done for free and on two legs, with the many and varied walks in nature. The area is surrounded by trails and treks, or go further afield on some guided walks around the island, to discover the breadth of the indigenous flora and fauna. Rhodes really is a walker’s island with almost 14 000 square kilometres to explore, through forests, up mountains, discovering ancient sites, and maybe stopping at a welcoming village taverna to sample the local wine, honey, and herbs, along the way. The must-see old town of Rhodes is a seven-kilometre drive from the villa.
The ancient city of Rhodes has been declared a unesco World Heritage Site, and as you wander the narrow lanes, old streets, and fortifications you’ll see why. Rhodes’ history has been influenced by the Knights of St John, and Venetian and Ottoman conquests. Visit the glorious Palace of the Grand Masters, the Castle of Monolithos, the Suleyamniye Mosque, the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Modern Greek Art, and the many ornate churches, and count the eleven gates as you make your way around the old town. If you can’t pound the pavements, take a Segway tour, and stop for refreshment in a traditional taverna as you sip ouzo as you watch the world go by.
For the adventurous rent a quad bike, or join a jeep safari and take a tour of the island, climb aboard a high-speed boat to the lovely island of Lindos, or relax with a spot of fishing at Makarounas. If fishing isn’t your thing, you can admire a myriad of marine creatures indoors at the Aquarium of Rhodes. And for those who really want to go further afield, get island hopping and take the Rhodes ferry to far-flung places, including crossing continents to the cosmopolitan town of Fethiye on the Turkish Turquoise coast.
