You can expect to do some serious alfresco entertaining from the sun-kissed terraces of this charming villa. Surrounded by established gardens filled with tumbling magenta bougainvillaea and just a short flip-flop from the beach – this place is everything you've been dreaming of. Sunny days call for bobbing about that impressive private pool and lolling about the many shady verrandas and quiet nooks. When tummies start to rumble, spill out around the marble-clad dining table of the outdoor kitchen for lazy alfresco lunches of meze plates. You can sneak in that second glass of crisp Retsina as little ones keep busy on the play fort and swings – all under your watchful gaze from the terrace. In need of a post-lunch siesta? Then slope away to the free-flowing living spaces inside. With lofty vaulted ceilings and a muted, restful palette uniting the space, it's the perfect retreat from the day's heat. Then all that's left to do is get together in that bubbling hot tub for cocktails as dusk settles over the surrounding hillsides – the sunset views are a knockout. When the dazzling sea finally lures you, the postcard-pretty beach of Kolymbia is just a 600-metre stroll as the crow... flies. With its calm-blue waters, water sports action, bustling beachside tavernas and magnificent vistas of the impressive Tsambika mountain, its appeal is crystal clear. And just a smidge further, you'll find picturesque Tsambika Beach (a 2.1km drive). Its soft sandy shores and dramatic rocky setting make this hands-down one of Rhode's most beautiful beaches.

About Kolymbia
Not that long ago, Kolymbia was little more than a collection of farmhouses. Today, it's a laid-back, beachside sanctuary tucked away from the party atmosphere of some other parts of Rhodes. The town is built around a broad eucalyptus-lined avenue (aptly named Eucalyptus Street), which houses souvenir shops and restaurants. It lacks some of the Greek charms of other island towns, but the pebble beach doesn't get overcrowded, even in...
