Hidden Garden

It was a perfect holiday home, more than you ever expected. Every detail was taken into consideration as well as everything we needed. Our hosts were extremely kind and helpful. A perfect location, near markets, beaches, reestaurants... A beautiful garden... Two bedrooms and one bathroom upstairs, a big living room ,a dining room, a beautiful kitchen with everythig you need, and a second bathroom as big as the other one, downstairs... And everything, everywhere perfectly clean.

This apartment is just off the main coast road to Lindos, so good for those with a rental car. We were met there by the owner, George, who showed us round the apartment. It was clean, modern and well appointed. In addition, he had provided us some 'goodies' such as a bowl of fruit, some beer and bottles of water, cookies, pastries and sachets of coffee, tea, etc. There was even a coffee maker. The double bed was a double and not two singles pushed together as we had at our last apartment! The kitchen seemed well equipped for those wanting to attempt some culinary activity. There were 2 balconies which were small but sufficient. The garden is a grassy area, somewhat lacking in shade except for one corner where there are some chairs and a table. The owner's dad, Michael, is often around to offer any assistance, answer queries or to just have a chat! We walked into Afantou for dinner each evening and our favourite eatery was the Sky Line restaurant! If you are early enough, you get a table overlooking the town and beyond. The staff are friendly and welcoming with a good menu. Not so impressed with tavernas in the town centre, but there are a few along the main coast road worth visiting. The other good point is that you can reach the local supermarket just by walking down the garden which gets you through to the coast road right next to it! The nearest beach and golf course is across the main road and a 20 minute walk. It is a long beach, but at the point we joined it, it was mainly pebbly. The only shade is from a rented umbrella with loungers (E10 for the day)

Hidden Garden apartments are top! Well located in a small village with a wonderful beach, they are perfect to visit the island from north to south. Very spacious, they have all the conforts you need even for a long stay (we've stayed two weeks with a 8months baby). Air-conditioning, mosquitoes net etc. The cleaning is just perfect and during our stay it's been done twice. But the best of the accomodation is certainly the hospitality and welcoming of George and his father Michael. We've arrived with a night flight at 3am and George was there to welcome us so that we could check in and let our baby sleep for the end of the night. He prepared a babycoat with a present for our baby, a babybath basin and brought us even a steam cooker to cook vegetables for her. Everything we needed for breakfast was there for us in the fridge for the next morning. A very appreciated kindness when you arrive at this time in the morning. George and his father have always been very responsive and helpful for us at every moment of the stay and even before our arrival for everything we needed. They gave us loads of information about Rhodes island , beaches, what to visit and where to eat. We would definitely stay there again if back in Rhodes! Thank you very much for your welcoming!

We had such a great time in Afandou, hidden garden was perfect size for us, two lovely balcony and a big shared garden where we had a barbecue twice. The village feels so authentic, beautiful! we will definitely come back!
