About this property

The Citrus House

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.

Lovely Island

Dear Karen! The Citrus House was quite easy to find and the house was clean and fortunately the fridge was equiped with everything we needed for first breakfast - thank you for that. Steve was very helpful and friendly - we felt very welcome. We were a little upsed that the third bedroom turned out to be a space behind the bathroom whitout window or door. The description on the homepage was "3 bedrooms" - but the kids accepted that. For a family of five was the table on the balcony a little too small and only four chairs but we dealed with it by taking the table and chairs form the terrasse and so we spend great evenings on the balcony with a fantastic view. For me as a busy mum would have been a dishwasher a great help in the kitchen. Rhodes is a great place to be and we discovered the whole island by car. The citrus house was a great homebase - and the wonderful seahouse taverna at the beach. Fabulous food. I could absolutely recommend the villa - but only for families of four if they are like us and love cooking and sitting together. When you love to stay the days out and have lunch or dinner in a taverna, you can fill the villa with up to six people. Even if I had bad luck (slipped on the stairs and broke my ellbow in the second week of our stay) I would love to return to Rhodes.

A well presented property in a quiet village

A very relaxed place to stay and enjoyed exploring Rhodes. On a negative note, a proper shower not just a hand held shower head to wash down with in a bath without even a shower curtain would have been better and the plunge pool had a lot of gravel in it, feel it should have been cleaned before we arrived, but overall a good place.

Everything you could want or need

Karen has thought of everything with this place. It's a great space with a lovely balcony and garden in an authentic Greek village. Quieter side of the island and wilder sea, perfect for kitesurfers. Easy to get to from the airport and helpful maintenance man Steve helped us with an inexpensive taxi to a wedding. Great place. Highly recommended.

Very nice house, not far away from the beach. The village is very typical, no many tourist and the Greeks are very friendly. The villa is a terraced house, so you have neighbours (we didn't read it and we think that it's an important information).

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.
