Welcoming house in Medieval Town

Welcome to our place which is located right next to St. Athanasius gate. You are now in the “Turkish neighborhood” which is one of the many cross cultural neighborhoods of the Old Town. Here you will have the chance to live in a traditional restored medieval home.

The Garden
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.

The House
A two storey home features a bedroom with a double bed, and a bathroom in each floor.
The ground floor consists of a dining room fully furnished with air condition and a bedroom with double bed, closet, drawers and fan. Also here you will find the fully equipped kitchen with electric cooking range and oven, dishwasher, fridge freezer, toaster, boiler and coffee machine. There is also a bathroom with a shower and a washing machine. In the cozy living room there is a sofa bed, a flat screen TV with Satellite, DVD player and a ceiling fan.
On the first floor there is a bedroom with double bed, bedside tables and closet, en-suite bathroom (WC &shower) and a beautiful terrace offering a panoramic view of the historical medieval walls. It is equipped with sun beds and sun umbrella, an idyllic place for soaking up the sun or enjoying the night sky.

Our home is located in a quiet neighborhood near the center, while also sheltered from the noise of the city. All sights of the Old Town, monuments, museums, shopping market, pharmacy and entertainment district with taverns, restaurants and bars, are within a 5 - 10 minute walk from the house. In the picturesque streets surrounding the house you will find monuments, mini markets, bakeries, tourist’s accommodations, souvenir shops, and the red light houses, all coexisting in harmony. After all, it is this colorful blend of different cultures that form the unique flavor of this town.

Great stay in Rhodes town
This property was ideally located for all the attractions in the old town, as well as the harbour and beaches. It's a very old house, so has its quirks, but we found it perfect for our needs, especially with the surprisingly large and quiet outdoor space. Rosa was very responsive to any questions we had.

Medieval Old Town Traveler
Our return visit to this extraordinary medieval old town was memorable.The property was very comfortable and inviting. The roof top ταράτσα was the perfect spot for breakfast, dinner and drinks or just a beautiful skyline with a cool island breeze. The garden area was nicely shaded and private. Day trips throughout the island (w/rental car) were enjoyed from this location. We look forward to our return one day to this historic site.

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!

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!

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.

This beautiful classic house is situated in the Old town. It has the most beautiful private and secluded garden that you can eat in and relax.the garden has early Greek and Roman decorative items. The house is equipped with every modern convenience that you need and there is a wonderful terrace on the first floor which is ideal for sunbathing. Rosa the owner is the most charming and helpful person you could meet and she can advise you on most things. This haven is a must and one I shall definitely return to.

the accommodation was very appropriate and the equipment of all kinds was exceptional
good stay with a reservation which has nothing to do wth the property but with the local conditions: during the period november - april everything in the medieval town is closed, shops, restaurants etc. which renders the stay fairly disappointing, the same applies to many sites all over the island, a very serious damper on the attractivity of the destination.

Hidden gem of a house
I think this house wins the prize for best entrance ever, hands down. Entry into the Old Town is via San Francisco Gate, across medieval fortifications and through old city walls - just beautiful and everything within very easy walking distance. House itself has been lovingly restored and maintained in a very pretty walled garden with fresh orange and lemon trees and remnants of original garden layout and architecture. Particularly loved airy master bedroom which opens onto large private terrace with sun loungers and table and chairs - ate up there a lot and really enjoyed rather eclectic view across Old Town (satellite dishes to medieval church remains). Property well stocked with useful things on arrival and nearest mini and supermarkets very close. Peaceful, comfortable, clean and Rosa and Dora could not have been more helpful before, during and after. Almost don't want to post this as means more people will know about this lovely place, but given how much we enjoy a castle and a crenellation, would feel bad if deprived others equally inclined. Just wonderful!

Leben wie in längst vergangener Zeit mit dem Komfort von heute. Sehr empfehlenswert!
Wir waren eine Woche in Rhodos-Altstadt und haben den Aufenthalt direkt im alten Ortskern sehr genossen. Wunderschöner gemütlicher Garten mit Zitronenbäumen, von denen wir auch die eine oder andere heruntergefallene Frucht verzehrt haben. Trotz der direkten Innenstadtlage war es sehr ruhig (durch die Gasse fahren nicht mal Mopeds) und die vielen, sehr guten Restaurants sind sogar in weniger wie 5 Minuten erreichbar. Wir lieben einen Urlaub in einer Ferienwohnung oder einem Haus (statt eines Hotels mit evlt. HP oder AI) und genießen die wirklich tolle Auswahl an Essensmöglichkeiten und die Gastfreundschaft der Griechen. Die Vermieterin Rosa ist äußerst nett und jederzeit per WhatsApp oder Telefon erreichbar. Wir haben uns in dieser einen Woche nur einmal einen Roller gemietet, um uns die Umgebung ein bisschen anzuschauen, in der Stadt benötigt man kein Auto. Wir haben allerdings noch eine zweite Woche in Rhodos Süden verbracht, für diese Zeit hatten wir vor Ort ein sehr günstiges Auto in der Nähe des Flughafens gemietet. Alles in allem ein tolles Erlebnis, ein bisschen wie leben in vergangener Zeit mit dem Komfort von heute, sehr empfehlenswert!

Ein schöner Ort für den Aufenthalt in/auf Rhodos
Nach einer entspannten Buchung & Kommunikation mit Dora & Rosa konnten wir 14 Tage einen wunderschönen Urlaub auf Rhodos genießen. Wir haben immer einen Parkplatz vor dem Altstadttor gefunden. Bei unserer Ankunft hat uns Rosa schon erwartet & uns sogar bei unserem Gepäck geholfen. Das Haus & der Garten sind wunderschön und durch die perfekte Lage am Rand der Altstadt ein idealer Ausgangspunkt, um abends die vielen, leckeren Tavernen & Bars zu erkunden. Wie schon einige in den Rezensionen erwähnten, stören die anliegenden ‚Etablissements‘ überhaupt nicht. Es stehen genügend frische Handtücher & Bettwäsche zur Verfügung. Von der Dachterrasse hat man eine wundervolle Sicht. Rosa ist eine zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Wir können die Unterkunft wärmstens weiterempfehlen. Efcharistó, Rosa - für die tolle Zeit, die wir in deiner Unterkunft verbringen konnten.
