The traditional Mediterranean House is a fully recently renovated (March 2019) family house, dating from the beginning of the 20th century (from the time of the Italian occupation of the island, 1912-1943). It was originally built by the Italians according to their traditional building style, with bricks made with local clay that the Italians produced at that time in their brick factory outside the village. The house belonged always to our family property as our ancestors worked for the Italians in the brick factory.
The very comfortable 2 bedroom house has free WiFi, is 80 sqm and it has a spacious living room with a flat-screen Satelite TV and a DVD-player, large bright air-conditioned rooms, which are elegantly decorated with traditional furnishings. The house includes a fully equipped kitchen, fitted with an oven, a microwave and a refrigerator; a toaster and an electric kettle are also provided. There is a private bath with shower and a hair-dryer. Towels and linen are offered, while a washing machine is available free of charge.
The family-run house is surrounded by its own well-kept garden with citrus trees, roses and Mediterranean herbs and a patio of 70 sqm, where you can relax and enjoy in your privacy the beautiful garden, either in the shade of the trees or in the sun, using the sun beds provided. You can also enjoy your breakfast and meals in the furnished, stone-paved garden terrace, where also some play facilities for children are provided.
The house is situated at the entrance of the village Gennadi, which is a small, quiet, traditional village at the south-eastern part of the island of Rhodes.
