Casa Blue

Casa Blue Overview

First Impressions

Casa Blue sits quietly in Gennadi, and honestly, that’s exactly what makes it special. This isn’t one of those flashy resort complexes you see everywhere in Greece — it’s more like stumbling upon a well-kept secret that locals would rather not share. The moment you pull up (and yes, there’s free parking right on site, which is actually a big deal around here), you get this sense that you’ve found something genuine. The property has this understated charm that grows on you, especially when you realize how thoughtfully everything’s been put together.

Location & Neighborhood

Gennadi is one of those southern Rhodes villages that most tourists rush past on their way to somewhere else — their loss, really. Casa Blue takes full advantage of this prime spot, sitting close enough to the beach that you can actually hear the waves at night. The village itself has this authentic Greek rhythm to it, with a few traditional tavernas and that relaxed pace you came to Greece to find. You’re about an hour from Rhodes town, which means you get the best of both worlds — peace when you want it, but easy access to the island’s main attractions when the mood strikes.

The Accommodation Experience

What strikes me most about staying at Casa Blue is how everything just works without feeling overly managed. The rooms have this clean, minimalist Greek island aesthetic — white walls, pops of that signature blue, and enough space to actually unpack and settle in. The beds are genuinely comfortable (I mean, you know how hit-or-miss that can be in smaller properties), and there’s something refreshing about having a place that focuses on getting the basics absolutely right rather than overwhelming you with unnecessary extras.

The Details That Matter

Here’s what I really appreciate — Casa Blue seems to understand what travelers actually need. That free parking I mentioned? It’s not some afterthought squeezed into a corner, but proper spaces that make arriving and leaving stress-free. The property maintains this spotless cleanliness without feeling sterile, and the staff has this knack for being helpful without hovering. You get the sense that they’ve thought through the small frustrations that can make or break a stay and quietly eliminated them.

Why Guests Love It

The 9.7 rating tells the story, but what really stands out is how couples consistently rave about this place. There’s something about Casa Blue that just works for romantic getaways — maybe it’s the peaceful setting, or the way you can slip into that slower Greek island rhythm without fighting crowds. The location scores speak for themselves (8.7 is impressive for anywhere, let alone a quieter village), and I think it comes down to that perfect balance of being tucked away but not isolated. You’re close enough to explore Rhodes properly, but far enough from the tourist chaos to remember why you wanted to visit a Greek island in the first place.

Reviews of Casa Blue

• Radev from Bulgaria – 9 June 2025 (10/10)

  The best place to stay! The house is amazing, has 3 separate super cozy and stylish rooms with very big separate bathrooms, one of the rooms has also included in it the kitchen, living room and additional double bed. There is super cool swimming pool, rooftop terrace with modern bbq, even a bar! Even the lighting is perfect, absolutely top! And the host is the best, super friendly and helpful, so that you can enjoy worry-free holiday, evharisto!
  The village Gennadi is the most lively in the area, has a few great taverns, bars with live music, shops, and sometimes even the local fest, so as a base for that part of the island is great. We were kitesurfing in Prasonisi, house is super as a surf house for that spot!
  Note- better rent small cars, because here as well as in other greek villages the streets are tiny and require skills for driving and parking 😉
  
  Evharisto again and see you next time!

• Trevor from United Kingdom – 12 September 2023 (8/10)

  This property is a very attractive walled compound with rooms accessed through the open, partially shaded courtyard. There is an upper deck with a BBQ and views across local allotments, olive groves and to the hills beyond. You can just about see the sea between neighbouring houses. The frequent breeze up top can make this a good place to sit with a drink on very hot days.
  It is in a perfect location if, like us, you are looking for peace, in a community setting (local people around), with very easy access to Gennadi village restaurants, bars and shops (five minutes away). The beach is ten minutes further away, across a main road – it is pebbly but not busy compared to some other places, so also peaceful. There is a pharmacy on the main road. A bus stop by the pharmacy provides low cost frequent services to other nearby villages and all the way to Rhodes (tickets are always single and cash is essential). There is a decent greengrocer, a lovely bakery that will double your body weight in a week, and a reasonable supermarket.
  At the property, everything was very clean, facilities were good, the aircon was effective in all the rooms. Rooms can be locked individually. The laundry room / poolside bathroom was a useful feature. The kitchen / living room has two double bed alcoves built into the rear of the space, which could be handy if you had teenagers who were happy to crash in the early hours in the alcoves, leaving you to get a good night's sleep in the other rooms. But these beds offer little privacy for couples, so not ideal for all.
  Lambrini, the host, contacted us before arrival with lots of useful information and helped arrange a taxi to the door (due to our late flight arrival). She speaks excellent English.
  Basics including wine, milk, instant coffee and sandwich provisions were in the kitchen.
  We would be very happy to stay here again. It is easy to find on Google Maps and w3w is ///unstable.leashed.raindrops
  
  What could be improved: A few improvements would increase the score from 8 to 9, including:
  – Ensuring the ramp to the poolside is more grippy and less slippy.
  – A cleaner pool – there was some plant material and sediment in it which we wafted into the filtering system, and it would benefit from a really good scrub all round. But we were very happy to use it for hours every day and, in fairness, there is a challenge with ash and dust following the recent fires, making cleaning the pool more challenging without disturbing the users (the pool guy was great).
  – Some extra things in the kitchen, including a new, large chopping board, a large jug for cocktails and an ice cube tray.
  – Shading options for the swing seat on the top deck and for the pool (e.g. a sun sail). We love the heat but burn easily in the sun, so more shade would have been helpful in these spots.
  But these are minor points. We loved our stay here.

• Hagay from Israel – 10 April 2023 (9/10)

  What could be improved: Onw of the nights the water heater not work but they fix it immidate and also offer to arrived at night.
  
  We was not allwied to use the BBQ because some goverment restractions, please put gas BBQ.

• Graham from United Kingdom – 27 October 2022 (8/10)

  Lovely traditional home in the heart of the village. Comfortable well equipped rooms. Plenty of outdoor space and delightful pool.
  
  What could be improved: Basic instructions were lacking eg how to turn lights on, although resolved fairly quickly. The listing says there’s a washing machine- there isn’t.

• Alek from Poland – 15 October 2022 (8/10)

  Location in the center of the town but quiet neighborhood, sometimes you can hear the church bells. Rooms not too big but everything fits. A small swimming pool for a refreshment.
  A large courtyard inside the house.
  
  What could be improved: Access by car through narrow streets, it is better to have a smaller car. You have to watch out for ants. You can't leave anything open, they even get to the bread.

• Alexandru from Romania – 22 August 2022 (9/10)

  Great house, lovely place to spend time by the pool
  Nice kitchen combined with sleeping places
  Cool rooms even though a bit dark
  
  What could be improved: Warm water available only sometimes due to issue with the heater. Got solved after 2 days
  Bathroom doors squeak badly.
  Small red ants everywhere if a crumb stays on the floor for a bit longer
  Room natural lighting is low if you want privacy, but that's how the house was built

• Bryan from United Kingdom – 29 July 2022 (10/10)

  Everything it was a great find had everything you needed
  
  What could be improved: My one gripe would be the slope leading upto pool area wet or dry it was slippery needs to have a anti slip method on it
