This was our second consecutive year staying at Villa Crystal and, if anything, it was better than the first. Of course, we were lucky to be able to stay abroad at all in the circumstances but everything worked perfectly for us at the villa and in Rhodes in general.
This was in no small way down to Manos, the Property Owner, who ensured all our needs were met, from buying provisions for our late night arrival to providing information on local dentists. He was always on hand to help but always unobtrusive.
Villa Crystal meets all our needs. It is clean, new, spacious (inside and out) and very well appointed. Everything works as it should, although we did have one day when the (solar-heated) water was only lukewarm following a couple of cloudy days. On every other day, it has to be said, we had plentiful hot water on tap.
The location is generally quiet with superb views of Vlicha Beach and the bay and the villa layout (with 4 bedrooms, 3 en-suite) suits our family needs perfectly. The local supermarket (1km away) supplies everything you might need at reasonable prices. With young children, we were unable to eat out in the evening but made full use of the barbecue and meal delivery service from the local hotel.
Finally, a big thank you to all the local people for their outstanding hospitality and willingness to help in a difficult year. We all agreed we would return to Rhodes and Villa Crystal for a third visit without hesitation, circumstances permitting.
