Villa Olive Grove

It’s a nice looking villa but the super loud air conditioners all around make it impossible to sleep or feel well. Don’t stay here. The owner is rude and only cares about getting paid. He feels the guests should tolerate extreme noise. He could easily install new AC units.

Stefano (owner) is a terrible person. He forbade us sitting on the balcony after midnight and visiting between rooms. He shouted at us. He took our ID card and wanted to give it back only when we left the rooms. When we decided to move out earlier he tried to take money from our credit card. It's the worst place i've been to.

Attention! The hotel owner does not allow the use of the balconies after 24:00. After two days, he ordered us to leave the previously booked rooms! The owner unlawfully takes the identity cards of the landlords for the duration of the stay, explaining that these are the rules! After we left our rooms, I got confirmation that an attempt was made to authorize an additional payment. This place is a SCANDAL, and the owner does not have a minimum of good manners.

I wasn't due to arrive at the property until almost midnight however Stefanos had contacted me a couple of days before to advise which room would be mine and that he would leave the key inside the room ready for me. Arriving late at night and in the dark I did struggle to locate my room initially but I messaged Stefanos and he replied promptly. Nice room with everything I needed for a few days stay. Kettle, basic cooking utensils, good sized fridge, hairdryer, towels and with wifi and aircon included. I stayed in a superior studio with double bed and lovely sized balcony with great views. I didn't bother hiring a car but nothing was too far away by walking. Property is located within similar distance to both the beach and Afandou village. Bus stops for trips to either Rhodes or Lindos (and places in between) about 5 minutes walk away on main road. I travelled as a solo female and although the property is in a remote area I walked back late at night several times and appreciated that the side road to the property was well lit. Stefanos was a good host and seemed happy to help with anything he could. Would recommend staying here for a quite and relaxing stay if you want to avoid busier hotels.

Abbiamo trascorso qui una settimana. L'appartamento è spartano (tipico studio greco) ma con tutto il necessario, tra cui wifi e aria condizionata. La zona è tranquilla, in mezzo al verde, ma in 5 minuti di auto si raggiungono spiaggia, ristoranti e negozi. Posizione strategica per girare l'isola. Proprietario molto disponibile.
