The Sea Nymph Charaki, Rhodes

Property Description

Olive groves and fields surround this villa, with the craggy, desert-like hills of Rhodes looming in the distance. The location may be rural and away-from-it-all, but it’s just a ten-minute drive to Lindos – an ancient village of white houses where donkeys still plod up and down the narrow streets. Just beyond, you’ll find a secluded sweep of beach at St Paul’s Bay, but the nearest stretch of sand is at Agathi Beach, a five-minute drive away.

While away sun-filled days in the private garden where a turquoise pool invites you for a dip in the heat of the day. An integrated Jacuzzi offers a place to unwind at the end of the day and dining is a leisurely affair in the shade of the bamboo pergola. The villa itself feels traditional with its stone and white-washed facade. Inside, there are myriad boho touches like wicker lampshades, macrame wall art in the main bedroom and wooden accents to keep things grounded. Double glass doors lead from the open-plan living area to the terrace, so you can let the sunshine steam in during the day.
