Wonderful place!

Location is brilliant, inside the town walls yet close enough to St Athanasios Gate / San Francisco for local buses and larger shops outside the old town. The house is well equipped with everything you need and Rosa was super friendly and helpful with all the enquiries one has not knowing the area. It's a 25 minutes walk to Zefyros beach, which is much nicer (and cheaper!) than Elli beach and the way there goes past a pretty large Kritikos supermarket. A minimarket, a small bakery, and a few bars and restaurants are literally around the corder within the old town. We really enjoyed our stay and can highly recommed the house!

Wonderful ancient City experience.

We loved the location of this quirky, colourful house in a corner of the walled City with small shops close by and yet close to one of the gates for accessing car and new town. (Supermarket and fruit and veg shop outside were just 15 minutes walk away there) Rosa met us outside gate and was waiting patiently, while we got a bit lost, to help us drag our bags over a very short distance of cobbled lanes and then show us everything in her family home that we needed to know. The house had everything we needed, though we didn't cook much as there were so very many restaurants within minutes and we wanted to try as many as possible. We had to contact Rosa a few times during our two weeks with little queries about the area and she always answered immediately and was immensely friendly and helpful. She also allowed us to stay in house after normal check out time on our last day because we had a late flight home. We used the sunny roof terrace quite a lot and enjoyed our breakfast there, but imagine that the beautiful walled garden and it's shady areas would be fabulous in hotter months. At night by closing wooden shutters the bedrooms became very dark and quiet which was great for sleeping well and both beds were very comfortable. We adored the old Town's impressive fortifications, huge moat and cobbled alleys and had our favourite meals/drinks at Mangos, Ouzokafenes, Socrateous gardens and Romeos, as well as places in other areas on our travels around the island including a small hillside taverna in Appollina village, where we ate with all locals celebrating May Day and where the Chef is passionate about local organic produce. We found the people in Rhodes to be polite, welcoming, warm, kind, friendly and interested and had many great conversations about life there. It was very hard to leave Secret Garden house and we would most definitely go back. Thank you Rosa!

Great garden apartment in fabulous location

All amenities were close by and yet the apartment was a tranquil retreat right in the middle of the medieval old town. The garden was a wonderful addition to the rental and it was so nice to wake up and have breakfast outside. The apartment had everything we needed and the owner was extremely helpful and kind. Would highly recommend.

A little gem

A little oasis of piece in the bustle of the the old town. Booking was easy and the communication with Rosa and Dora was first rate. Any query we had was dealt with promptly and professionally. A word of warning, bring good shoes, the cobbled streets can take their toll.
