We loved it here. The house is large and consists of original and newer parts; we only used the newer section and appreciated the air conditioning in the main bedroom. The courtyard was a wonderful place to breakfast and enjoy the sunshine in total privacy. Lachania was also the perfect location for us, with beaches only a few minutes drive away and the wonderful taverna Platanos just around he corner. Anyone looking to get away from the growing numbers of tourists visiting Rhodes will feel at home in Lachania, as we did.
Beautiful house combining modern facilities with old world charm.
The new part of the house is lovely with a large open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area on the whole of the first floor. There is a spectacular light well above and a hardwood staircase leads you to the first floor. Here you have large windows with unobstructed views over the valley and another lounge sitting area with a TV. There is a free wireless internet and you can use the TV to watch programmes, play games etc. hooked up to your laptop. The master bedroom is also upstairs an has air conditioning. This has a door leading to a secluded roof terrace where you can sunbathe in private. The rest of the house is old, built round a secluded courtyard and the rooms have wooden roof beams and whitewashed walls. There are another two bedrooms in this part of the house as well as a second kitchen and a second bathroom/WC.
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is beautiful and comfortable and the village is also very picturesque with friendly local tavernas, especially the Platanos which is in the village platia next to the church. There are miles of beaches to cater for every taste and if you explore a little it is easy to find one for yourself or where your nearest neighbour is at least 100 metres away. I would highly recommend this house.
Hello, my name is Clive and I live in London. I have been going to Lahania in Rhodes for over 20 years now and I have spent a lot of time renovating our lovely house and building the new extension. Everyone who stays in the house loves it and loves the village. I am sure you will too.
The village is in a beautiful river valley close to miles of beaches where you can choose to have a meal or drink at a beach taverna or find your own private cove. Lahania is a very beautiful traditional Greek village with a shaded platia by the church with a taverna and natural springs which used to be used in the old days to irrigate the village vegetable gardens. There are two other tavernas in the village as well as a little supermarket so you can find everything you need in the village. There is a small pension as well but no big hotels and you can enjoy a quiet and peaceful holiday within beautiful landscape. All the roads in the village were designed for donkeys rather than cars so it is very safe for children to wander and they soon find other children of their own age to play with
The property combines a lovingly restored old house with a sensitively built new extension. The old part of the house has two bedrooms and is used as a summer house as all the rooms communicate through the secluded courtyard. We have lovingly restored the original old beams,fireplaces and rough plastered walls. The new extension provides a new self contained one bedroom house on two floors with double glazing, air conditioning,fitted kitchen and wetroom bathroom as well as some original antique furniture and modern art. The extension is ideal for winter holidays when the weather can be chilly but provides the best climate to walk the fantastic countryside, especially in spring when the wild flowers are spectacular. The combined house has three bedrooms, two kitchens and two bathrooms/wc.
