About this property

The Citrus House is our second home and we delighted to have opened it up for people to come and enjoy all the west coast of Rhodes has to offer.

The villa sits on the edge of a gorgeous little Greek village called Kalavarda. Here you can embrace the Greek way of life, in fact it's very hard not too. Our guests are always welcomed into the local taverna's, and the Greek ladies who go for their morning swim most days will always shout 'Kalimera' , Life in Kalavarda is simple, slow and wonderful!

A beautiful spacious villa suitable for families, groups and couples. Three bedrooms sleeping up to six people. (please see notes about 3rd bedroom layout) and a relaxing well maintained garden where you can enjoy a cooling dip in the plunge pool. With Sea and mountain views and only a 5 minute walk to the local beach you’ll feel well and truly relaxed from the moment you arrive.

Kalavarda is a well known popular spot in the Kitesurfing community, bringing a wonderful summer vibe to the area. The house is a perfect base for exploring by foot or bike, hiking the mountains or riding the coastal road our local bike rental company are located just next door. It’s an easy 20 minute drive from the airport and a 30 minute drive into Rhodes Town. The local bus runs frequently from the main road which is just a couple of minutes walk away. If you prefer car hire just let me know and I can help you arrange flexible hire for a very reasonable price with a no fuss hassle free service.

The house is professionally maintained with our English housekeepers living close by.

The Citrus House offers a great location if you prefer a quiet environment away from the resorts. It's also spacipus, comfortable amd well-equipped - just what we needed after 10 days of fairly intense travelling (which is always wonderful, but exhausting!). We hired a car at superb rates from a provider recommended by the owner and found it very easy to explore the island from the base im Kalavarda. Comms was also exceptional.

Wundervoller Ort für Familien

Alles war wie angegeben vorhanden. Die Kommunikation war perfekt - einfach, schnell und persönlich. Das Haus bietet alles was benötigt wird und die Strände und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind mit dem Auto schnell zu erreichen.

2 wunderschöne Wochen

Wir hatten 2 sehr schöne Wochen im Citrus House und haben uns auf Anhieb wohlgefühlt. Der Kontakt zu den Vermietern war sehr nett und es wurde sehr schnell reagiert (bei einem Ausfall der Wasserversorgung). Die Einrichtung entsprech genau den Fotos, war aber etwas spartanisch, was für uns aber kein Problem war. Nur die Kaffeemaschine könnte durch eine Maschine ersetzt werden (Heizplatte leicht angerostet). Die Lage war für uns ideal. Das Einzige, was uns manchmak nachts störte, waren die bellenden Hunde. Aber das hat natürlich nichts mit der Wohnung zu tun. Wir würden die Wohnunh nochmals mieten.

Zwei schöne Wochen im Citrus House

Das Citrus House hat eine tolle Lage in Kalavarda, der Ortskern ist in zwei Minuten Fußweg zu erreichen, die Taverne dort können wir sehr empfehlen. Aber auch der Strand mit der Taverne Sea House ist fußläufig in zehn Minuten zu erreichen. Die Ausstattung des Hauses könnte besser sein (die Bluetooth-Boxen konnten nicht geladen werden, weil die Kabel nicht da waren, Sonnenschirme für den Strand gab es auch keine, obwohl in der Beschreibung). Die Küche war für uns (zwei Personen) ausreichend, leider waren die Messer stumpf. Wir haben aber auch nicht gekocht, sondern nur dort gefrühstückt. Betten waren super. Beim Ankommen hätte das Haus etwas sauberer sein können, Böden waren wohl nicht gereinigt. Ansonsten haben wir den Urlaub dort sehr genossen.

"Being able but not wanting"

The owner did not follow HomeAways intention of refund , 3 weeks erlier return due to covid 19 at our 8 week stay. The owner feels greedy and stingy. On arrival 18 hours erlier than planned,we had to pay an overpriced for overnight stay. Directly at covid 19restrictions in Greece, we were "offered " 4 weeks before planned return trip to stay until June, because the owner needed money! We got repeated reminders to save on electricity and Wifi. We were not allowed to recieve family members for more than 1 week without paying extra. The best with the house was the owners subcontractor Steve, who arranged everything without blame. The grill that would be in the inventory list did not exist, but Steve arranged one. The old faucet at the sink leaked when we arrived and caused later flooding at night, but Steve quickly arranged for a plummer. Steve knew that the front door was leaking water during every rain, but had not recieved permission from the owner to fix this. The shortcomings were many current equipment. The knives was unusable. Not even basic kitchen appliances were available. Cutting boards were old and unhygienic. Outdoor furniture cushions were broken and dirty. Mold was developed against exterior walls in several rooms. We are entrepreneurs in the hospitality industry in our home country, but would never treat costumers in this way. Although the area and the house are nice, we cannot recommend the owner.

About the host

Hosted by Karen Wilson

Hi I'm Karen, just one of the four members of The Wilson family. We are extremely privileged to own our own little piece of Greece, and love nothing more than welcoming other people to experience all the Island has to offer.

Our girls, now in their teens have been enjoyed 13 years of family holidays at The Citrus House and have many fond memories. We hope that we can help you make your own wonderful memories too.

I personally make it my mission to ensure your whole experience from enquiry through to stay and return is as easy as possible. I'm always at the end of an email / phone.

So if you're wanting a stress free, relaxing, enjoyable experience with guidance from someone who loves all things Mediterranean look no further. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Why they chose this property

The Citrus House welcomes you with open arms just like the locals of Kalavarda. Fully equipped with everything you need for your holiday, you'll feel at home from the minute you walk through the door.

Stunning sea and mountain views, a peaceful location with nothing more than the sound of the local children playing, the odd tractor passing or the local Greek baker sounding his horn I can promise you you well slip into the Greek way of life very quickly.

Located in a pretty little village on the west coast of the island. Away from the crowds this village is the perfect place to relax and gather your thoughts or if you like a more active holiday then hiring a bike couldn't be easier, the bike hire man is just across the road. It's also great for hiking, walking and is quickly becoming well known amongst the Kite Surf community with a recently opened KiteSurf centre.

Although traditional and quiet it still has several tavernas within a short walk and is only a 5 minute stroll to the local beach. Just a 20 minute drive from the airport and 30 minutes to the vibran, famous Rhodes Town with plenty of larger and equally as lovely villages along the coast road.

Kalavarda is a truly wonderful little village with some truly wonderful friendly people.

What makes this property unique

The house is perfectly situated for you to enjoy both mountain and see views. It boasts it's own private garden and plunge pool. The house is cleverly designed with the bedrooms downstairs so they are nice and cool in the heat of the summer sun.

The house has a large open plan fully equipped living area upstairs plus two balconies so you really can catch the sun or if you prefer, the shade all day long. And no matter where you sit you will enjoy beautiful views.

Perfectly situated next to a citrus grove at certain times of the year it's possible to go pick your own fruits or you may even open your front door one morning to find a bag left for you by the local farmer.

We have equipped the house with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your holiday.
