Nikos has developed a small but beautifully formed piece of heaven in Rhodes.
My wife and I have had the most wonderful 2-week stay in Olive Yard House and have taken full advantage of Nikos and his mother’s welcome to enjoy the house, pool, garden and all it offers. Daily, we have collected fresh eggs and from the garden picked and eaten lettuce, spring onions, tomatoes, herbs and a cornucopia of fruit: apricots, mulberries, lemons, limes, strawberries and figs. Lucky holidaymakers later in the year will be able to enjoy bananas, peaches and grapes as well.
Nikos is THE most welcoming of hosts. He prepared a meze for our arrival even though our flight was delayed he was there to meet us when we arrived at 10.30 p.m. He had stocked the fridge with everything we needed for the first day or two, he had also supplied fruit, bread and rolls. He is more of a friend to us now than an owner.
I didn’t expect the pool to be warm enough to swim in however, it was glorious, and the outside areas made the holiday so much more enjoyable as there was a BBQ, hot & cold outside showers, hammock, several comfortable sun beds and loungers, hanging chairs, and under cover a hi-fi, table and seats to relax out of the sun and in the evening lights illuminated the garden, outside spaces and pool. The covered car port keeps the car cool (and you will need a car). The photos in the advert are exactly what you get, inside and outside the house.
An especially lovely addition was the hanging bed with mozzy net, you can’t help but fall asleep gently swaying under all the hanging grapes. The main bed is really comfortable and the aircon works perfectly as do all the other amenities. There is a TV which we hardly used and a good wi-fi connection.
The property is completely set within an olive grove and not overlooked by anyone and with electric gates, so you have your own private paradise! We highly recommend Olive House Yard to anyone.
Thank you Nikos for being such a wonderful host, gentleman and friend.
