Greek retreat on the wonderful island Rhodes, welcome to 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 bye.
During your stay at this villa, you'll be close to Ancient Kamiros. Features include an outdoor pool, a water park and 1 hot tub. The villa includes amenities such as free WiFi and a private pool.

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.

"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.

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.

séjour à Rhodes
location très agréable et fonctionnelle. Bien située pour visiter l'île. le fait d'être à l'ouest de l'île permet d'assister tous les soirs à de merveilleux couchers de soleil, les plages sont plus accessibles et moins peuplées qu'à l'est de l'île, c'est plus reposant. Merveilleuse vacances en famille.

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.

Wir sind rundum zufrieden!
Wir haben zu dritt eine wundervolle Woche im "citrus house" verbracht. Die Fahrzeit vom Flughafen beträgt nur etwa 25 Minuten und dank der guten Beschreibung ist das Haus leicht zu finden. Die Lage bietet sich an, um von dort aus Tagesausflüge z.B. nach Lindos oder Rhodos Stadt zu unternehmen. Die Küche ist komplett ausgestattet, alles war sauber und hat funktioniert, die Klimaanlage hat uns abends sehr gute Dienste geleistet. Die Schlafzimmer verfügen über ausreichend Stauraum und die Betten sind mit sehr guten Matratzen ausgestattet. Es gibt frische Handtücher, Bettwäsche und ein Telefon mit allen wichtigen Nummern für den Notfall. Bei durchgehend sommerlichen Temperaturen haben wir die Strände, das Meer, den Balkon und den Garten in vollen Zügen genossen. Die Menschen waren unglaublich freundlich und wir hatten eine tolle Zeit. Vielen Dank an Karen, Steven, Lisa

Beautiful Villa away from the tourist route
We stayed at the Citrus House for a week in the middle of tourist season. Fortunately in Kalavarda it does not feel crowded at all. Instead we relaxed at the private Mini-Pool, had a great time at the nearby beach, where you get sunbeds and a place in the shade for free and ate at secluded Tavernas. The villa itself is very beautiful and well thought about. You find absolutely everything you might need. The beds are comfy, everything is clean, the interior is very nice and the information about the region, that they have stocked in a guestbook are helpful too. Overall we had a wonderful stay and we would love to come again sometime in the future :D
