It sits is a very generous plot with one of the best terraces you will see on the island.

The gorgeous Old Town of Rhodes is an intricate warren of busy commercial streets and delightful, quiet alleys. It is the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe and has UNESCO World Cultural Heritage status. Walking through the walls of Rhodes Old Town is like taking a step back in time. The Old Town is full of Byzantine and Gothic churches, medieval buildings, mosques, traditional fountains, oriental motifs and many boutique shops, bars and restaurants. Though the island has been inhabited for thousands of years, it wasn’t until the Knights of St John arrived in 1309 that the walls were put up. The city fell to the Ottomans in 1522. The highlights of the Old Town are the ten beautiful entrances to the walled city, The Palace of the Grand Master, the Archaeological Museum of Rhodes housed in the Gothic building of the Great Hospital of the Knights, The Street of the Knights and some of the mosques. There are over two hundred streets and alleyways so you can easily get lost in the maze and the atmosphere.
Entering Villa Lemnos will take your breath away. It has been brilliantly designed inside and out. The main living area is sophisticated and very smart with a sumptuous corner sofa and beautiful, dark wood cabinetry. This houses both a large television and a feature fireplace. The room is incredibly spacious with a desk and office space to one side and doors opening to a wonderful furnished balcony where you can enjoy chilled glasses of local wine and the views. A second characterful living space enjoys exposed stone walls, an open fire and charming furnishings.
The villa enjoys two kitchens. One is off the living area with a dining table, excellent appliances and access to another terrace. This is a wonderful spot for your morning cup of coffee. The second, larger kitchen is a dark wooden number with a vast amount of units, outstanding appliances, a central island and a huge dining area with bench seating and a row of tables. Every room in Villa Lemnos enjoys its own individual style making it an interesting and captivating place to stay.
The villa comes with five wonderful bedrooms, again all very individual. You will find exquisite, oversized headboards of all shapes. One runs the length of the room, another reaches the ceiling. They are all eye-catching. Guests staying at Villa Lemnos enjoy the sleep of kings in lavish kingsize and double beds, all beautifully adorned with crisp cottons and luxury throws and cushions. The styling is a wonderful blend of sophisticated contemporary along with classic detailing. There are four heavenly bathrooms, two of which are ensuite. Three enjoy showers and the other offers a very indulgent double bath as well as contemporary his and hers sinks. You should be taking a glass of champagne along with you for your soak in this one!
The outdoor space of Villa Lemnos is every bit as luxurious as its interiors. You will find a fantastic outdoor kitchen with a barbecue and pizza oven, a wonderful alfresco dining area under a contemporary pergola, a delightful alfresco lounge area, a stunning pool and exquisite loungers.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa LemnosVilla Lemnos sits just outside the Old Town of Rhodes. It is a wonderful spot for those that want to indulge in the cultural charms of the city, enjoy its fantastic dining scene and its wonderful characterful bars and cellars. You can enter through the Gate D’Ambrose or another of the ten gates to a city of pure beauty and charm. You can wander for hours discovering amazing buildings, unnamed streets and fabulous museums. It is also the perfect place for some boutique shopping and wine tasting. This magical medieval city offers much entertainment and you will get a real sense of its history and culture. The city is very lively with over six thousand people living and working inside the walls. The main roads that connect its warren of alleyways and narrow roads are Orfeos Street and Socratous Street. The most important building is The Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights. It towers over the city walls. The palace was destroyed in 1856 and then restored by the Italians in the early 20th century. Leading up to the palace is the famous Street of the Knights where seven buildings were constructed. The Archaeological Museum of Rhodes showcases artifacts, jewellery, sculptures and mosaics that date back over 2000 years. It is very popular to enjoy the city from above by walking the walls. Having a drink at the Cellar of the Knights is also excellent. With your wine order you will be given two cushions to sit on in Hippocrates Square.
Villa Lemnos is also close to the wonderful Kallithea Springs, Kallithea Beach and Koskinou. The super-sized Kallithea Beach sits minutes from the colourful, pretty village of Koskinou. The beach is famous for its hot medicinal springs which were built by the Italians though no longer function. The village is beautiful, lined with palm and pine trees and sprinkled with beautifully renovated buildings and mosaics, all influenced by the Arabic architecture. Koskinou is incredibly picturesque, famous for its unique mosaic of colours and carries an air of sophistication. Its wood and iron house doors are all painted in vivid colours and enjoy carved or etched designs. The little cobbled gardens are so pretty behind the courtyard doors. The village boasts charming narrow streets, beautiful churches and chapels and a wonderful array of traditional taverns and cafes. There are countless paths that lead from the newer, coastal part to the old village with its cobbled streets and whitewashed squares full of vibrant flowers. The Kallithea Spa was built in 1920 by the Italians. Following its restoration, the spa is a top sight.
Faliraki is buzzy and vibrant with many hotels, bars, restaurants and an enormous sandy beach. The beach starts at the small harbour and spreads for nearly 5km so it’s a great spot to head for if you want a day of watersports and lazing in the sun. There is even an inflatable park for the young ones. Just about every watersport imaginable is offered as well as bungee jumping. The nightlife is incredible with fabulous restaurants, bars and nightclubs. The Faliraki Water Park is fantastic fun and a very popular excursion for families.
Ixia Beach is also close to the villa. You will enjoy idyllic sunsets, romantic walks and glorious sands.

The Island/Getting There
Rhodes is the largest of the Dodecanese Islands of Greece. It’s got a lot of history as it’s been invaded a lot by the Persians, Carians, Ottomans, Italians, and Germans.
Average temperatures go from 20’c in April up to 30’c in July/ August and down to 20’c in November. With an average of 85 rainy days a year they get sunshine for around 280 days.
The island is 90km long with Rhodes town at the northern tip. The airport (Rhodes International Airport "Diagoras") is also in the North (15km from Rhodes Town). Charter flights and Easyjet operate direct from the UK all season and out of season (Nov-March) you’d need to fly via Athens.
The Acropolis – The Acropolis that sits high above the town of Lindos is absolutely amazing and is a must see if you’re looking for some of the best views in all of Rhodes. One thing I should mention is that the climb up to the acropolis requires you to be somewhat active and able to climb stairs, lots of them. The trail begins through town and slowly but surely starts to get steeper as you climb the hill towards the acropolis. Once there, you’re rewarded with historical buildings dating back to 300 BC. Our Villa Corteau sit just underneath the ruins.
Rhodes has over 40 beaches, here are a few:
- Anthony Quinn’s Bay – Anthony Quinn’s bay is one of the most beautiful bays. The bay is located 17km (10 mi) south of Old Town Rhodes and offers some incredible photo opportunities to say the least.
- The beach at Anthony Quinn’s bay is one of the best beaches in Rhodes. Get there early if you want to snag a sunbed and umbrella and enjoy wading around the bright blue and green water. Amazing!
- For the best views of Anthony Quinn’s Bay from above, head on up to the windy road that leads up the hill just north of the bay and you’ll find a spot where you can sit and enjoy the virtually 180 degree views of Rhodes and its coastline.
- Tsambika Beach (or Tsampika) – Tsampika beach is located 30km (18 mi) south of Old Town Rhodes and is a great place to spend the day in the sun. Note: Beware there is a small section where nudists congregate on Tsampika beach
- Lakido Beach – Just opposite Anthony Quinn’s Bay is Lakido beach. It’s literally 3 minutes walking distance from Anthony Quinn’s bay so visiting both beaches in a day is totally doable. As a matter of fact, I would highly recommend visiting both if you get the chance
- Faliraki Beach – One of the most popular tourist spots on the island of Rhodes. It was known for 18-30’s holiday in the 90-2000’s but I don’t think there is that market so much now. It is quite commercialised now there are water sports and a few diving schools.
How to reach Rhodes island
There are two ways to reach Rhodes Island: either by flight or by ferry.
By plane: If you don’t want to lose time you can fly to Rhodes (RHO) from Athens. The flight lasts 1 hour. Many direct flights also operate from many European countries, so it will not be difficult to arrive there.
By ferry: If you choose to travel from Piraeus to Rhodes with a ferry, it will surely take you much longer but travelling with a ferry in the summer nights can be pretty enticing! The port of Rhodes is located in the southern part of the island and offers bus services to the town centre. You can easily book your ferry tickets using the link below or the booking engine.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Lemnos is perfect for a family holiday. It is very spacious with five bedrooms and huge entertainment spaces. Children love the swimming pool, the garden, the pool table and cooking pizzas in the pizza oven.
The island of Rhodes is family friendly with plenty of activities and entertainment. There are numerous sensational sandy beaches, watersports, the Faliraki Water Park, riding schools, go karts and much more.
Rhodes is known for its stunning beaches. There are many beaches to choose from. Some are silvery sandy stretches and others tiny and rocky, perfect for snorkeling or diving to explore the underwater life. Some of the most popular beaches are Traganou Beach, Tsambika Beach, Lee Beach, Pefkos Beach, Agathi Beach, Lindos Beach, Faliraki Beach and Plakia Beach. There are many watersports on offer including paragliding, windsurfing, catamaran sailing, waterskiing, wakeboarding, kayaking, snorkeling and diving. You can take many boat trips including glass bottom boats and underwater submarines.
The Faliraki Water Park is brilliant fun. It is the largest water park in Greece and boasts a huge selection of extreme speed, open, closed, twisted, free fall and Kamikaze slides, a lazy river, swimming pools and a fun water playground. You can buy one, two or three day tickets to the park. For sure, your children will be keen to go back once they have enjoyed a thrilling day on the slides.
Children can learn a lot about the history of Rhodes by visiting some of the island’s interesting museums. These include the Archaological Museum of Rhodes, the Modern Greek Art Museum, The Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, the Folklore Museum, Rhodes Toy Museum, the Bee Museum and the Filerimos Monastery.
Other popular family friendly excursions are to the Rhodes Aquarium, the Farma of Rhodes Petting Zoo and the Valley of Butterflies where you will walk through the narrow forest and see the thousands of butterflies that descend during the summer and to Eleousa which is located in the lush foothills of Mount Profitis Elias.
