Xenia Blue Rodos, Rhodes

Property Description

Architecturally striking and just set steps away from the beach, this home is one of two built by the owners of the upscale restaurant next-door. An oasis of calm, with sea views and a private terrace with your own pool, it's an elegant and stylish coastal retreat for up to four guests.

Less than a five-minute drive from the village of Lachania, at the foot of the mountains, there's a choice of eateries and a supermarket within reach, and it's an excellent base from which to explore the south of the island. But with a long, sandy beach and clean swimming water on your doorstep, you may find you have all you need right here.

Inside, a mix of contemporary styling and traditional elements gives this place a timeless feel, with all-white walls and cool, tiled floors. There's an open-plan living area with a well-kitted-out kitchenette and sliding doors opening to the terrace, while the bedrooms are calm and spacious – one leading out to a tiny courtyard. And in the evenings, choose between watching the sunset from the beach, the restaurant or from the comfort of your own terrace.
