Home description
Villa Francesca enjoys stunning sea views across the bay of Kalathos as far as Haraki. The gardens are a feast for the eyes with vibrant, colourful planting to highlight the vast stretches of green and blue. The large infinity pool and sea views can be enjoyed from all the rooms in the house.
The interior has been designed with calming neutral colours with splashes of turquoise as a constant reminder of the azure waters that are just outside the door in the pool and the sparkling Aegean sea. The three bedrooms and three bathrooms provide privacy and rejuvenating views.

The Aegean Islands region
Rhodes is the largest island in the group known as the Dodecanese. It is the 3rd largest island in Greece and is positioned south east of the mainland close to the coastline of Turkey. Its positioning makes it popular with sun worshippers as the island is said to enjoy more days of sunshine than any in the Med.
A testament to the sun god, Helios who claimed the island for himself, Rhodes rose out of the sea more than 2000 years ago. With that life span you can only begin to imagine the history of this mountainous isle. One thing is for sure, if you love the sun and you love Greece, Rhodes will not disappoint
Climate and Weather The temperature soars in July and August and is often hovering around 40 degrees. April and May are months of few tourists and great for nature lovers as the island is a carpet of wild flowers. Winter rain fall produces an emerald isle of spring greenery and lush vegetation. June sees that island starting to get busy with visitors from every corner of Europe. Luckily mile upon mile of sandy beaches mean that even in August you will still find a spot on the beach to soak up some sun and sea. The winter climate is very clement which makes Rhodes an ideal spot for some winter sun. However be prepared to the island as it is with no tourist trappings.
Rhodes / Kalathos area
Kalathos Village is a little know village on the south east coast of Rhodes and just a few minutes from the historic, whitewashed village of Lindos.
