The oasis like green and luscious garden with citrus trees, bougainvillea and other plants will help you capture the magic essence of the Mediterranean atmosphere. The high stone walls surrounding the garden offer privacy and tranquility. There is a private courtyard fully equipped for dinning and relaxing. You can also enjoy the outdoors BBQ. The large bitter orange tree with the built-in stone benches around is the right place for your breakfast in the morning shade. Tables and director's chairs complete the comfortable scene.

Great place to stay
Very comfortable house. It is a little away from the heart of the tourist throng which was great, but still only a few minutes walk to all of the attractions. Our host, Rosa, was wonderful. Extremely helpful and responded immediately to any questions. There is a delightful garden with 2 outdoor eating spots. Thoroughly recommend!

A delightful oasis in Rhodes
The property, a nicely renovated two storey home in the Turkish Quarter of Rhodes old Town, is set in a delightful walled garden perfect for relaxing in after a day of sightseeing. The roof terrace is an added bonus. The house has everything needed for a comfortable stay and is well situated in a quieter part of the old town. Rosa was a charming and attentive host and quickly responded to any questions we had. Highly recommended.

Wonderful stay in Old Town Rhodes
Rosa is a very friendly, helpful and really nice host for this lovely comfortable house, in a quiet neighbourhood, inside the city walls of Old Town Rhodes. Everything you need is provided and there is a lovely garden to enjoy. All the major sites of this wonderful historic town are close, the archeological museum is a must-visit and don’t forget its gardens for more treasures. Island buses are not far away as is the port for visiting nearby islands, or reaching Lindos by boat. This was our second stay, really like Rhodes - highly recommended

Comfortable, convenient, and roomy.
We stayed for a week in this lovely house in the historic city. The rooms are clean, nicely furnished, and comfortable for our family of five. It was quiet inside and had a beautiful garden with a table for eating outside. The terrace balcony upstairs was a nice place to have coffee in the morning. The host provided everything we needed for washing clothes and dishes and she was always available to help and offer recommendations. I would not hesitate to stay there again and recommend this house to anyone visiting Rhodes.

Wonderful place!
Location is brilliant, inside the town walls yet close enough to St Athanasios Gate / San Francisco for local buses and larger shops outside the old town. The house is well equipped with everything you need and Rosa was super friendly and helpful with all the enquiries one has not knowing the area. It's a 25 minutes walk to Zefyros beach, which is much nicer (and cheaper!) than Elli beach and the way there goes past a pretty large Kritikos supermarket. A minimarket, a small bakery, and a few bars and restaurants are literally around the corder within the old town. We really enjoyed our stay and can highly recommed the house!

A haven in Rhodes Old Town
This is an amazing place to stay within the walls of Rhodes Old Town. The location is wonderful and the two storey old house with garden and two bathrooms is a little paradise. It is clean and well provisioned for self catering and Rosa was a delightful host. Highly recommended!

Wonderful ancient City experience.
We loved the location of this quirky, colourful house in a corner of the walled City with small shops close by and yet close to one of the gates for accessing car and new town. (Supermarket and fruit and veg shop outside were just 15 minutes walk away there) Rosa met us outside gate and was waiting patiently, while we got a bit lost, to help us drag our bags over a very short distance of cobbled lanes and then show us everything in her family home that we needed to know. The house had everything we needed, though we didn't cook much as there were so very many restaurants within minutes and we wanted to try as many as possible. We had to contact Rosa a few times during our two weeks with little queries about the area and she always answered immediately and was immensely friendly and helpful. She also allowed us to stay in house after normal check out time on our last day because we had a late flight home. We used the sunny roof terrace quite a lot and enjoyed our breakfast there, but imagine that the beautiful walled garden and it's shady areas would be fabulous in hotter months. At night by closing wooden shutters the bedrooms became very dark and quiet which was great for sleeping well and both beds were very comfortable. We adored the old Town's impressive fortifications, huge moat and cobbled alleys and had our favourite meals/drinks at Mangos, Ouzokafenes, Socrateous gardens and Romeos, as well as places in other areas on our travels around the island including a small hillside taverna in Appollina village, where we ate with all locals celebrating May Day and where the Chef is passionate about local organic produce. We found the people in Rhodes to be polite, welcoming, warm, kind, friendly and interested and had many great conversations about life there. It was very hard to leave Secret Garden house and we would most definitely go back. Thank you Rosa!

Old town was very interesting and Welcoming House was in a great location from which to walk it. Good to be fairly close to a gate, as pulling luggage across the old cobble stones wasn't as bad as it could have been. Loved the garden area and the hosts were so nice...even met us at the gate to guide into the place.

Great experience all around!!)))
We stayed as a family of 5, with three kids aged 14, 9 and 4. Awesome little house right within Old Town walls, great garden with flowers and fruit trees! Best of all, though, is Rosa - the de-facto host! She was a blessing in disguise, helping out on everything from a celebratory bouquet to taxis, travel guidance, and all the little things we needed along the way)) Rosa, a hug from us all - you made our stay a resounding success))) one little minor issue - the place doesn't have a microwave, which could come in real handy with kids. Other than that - top grade, if you're looking for a cozy stay within a walking distance from literally everything in Old Town and a minute walk to the taxis and buses!

Great garden apartment in fabulous location
All amenities were close by and yet the apartment was a tranquil retreat right in the middle of the medieval old town. The garden was a wonderful addition to the rental and it was so nice to wake up and have breakfast outside. The apartment had everything we needed and the owner was extremely helpful and kind. Would highly recommend.
