Diasoulas house Overview

First Impressions

Diasoulas house is one of those places that catches you off guard in the best way. You walk up to the first floor on Sofokleous street, and there’s this immediate sense that someone actually put thought into making guests feel at home rather than just processed through. It’s not a big flashy property — and honestly, that’s exactly the point. Rhodes Town has plenty of options, but this one has a personality that sticks with you.

Location & Neighborhood

The address puts you right in the thick of Rhodes Town, and I mean that literally. You’re not a short taxi ride from the action — you’re already in it. The medieval Old Town is essentially on your doorstep, which means you can wander the cobblestone streets at whatever hour suits you, grab a coffee at a local kafeneio before the tourist crowds arrive, or slip back to the room for a midday rest without any fuss. For couples especially, this kind of positioning makes a real difference — you’re not spending your evenings figuring out logistics, you’re just living the place.

The Feel of the Place

There’s something genuinely warm about how Diasoulas house is set up. It feels more like staying with someone who knows Rhodes well than checking into a standard room. The details are considered — not over-designed, just thoughtful. I mean, a 9.6 location score doesn’t happen by accident; it reflects a property that understands what travelers actually want when they come to a place like this.

Who It’s Really For

Couples seem to gravitate toward this place, and you can sort of see why. There’s an intimacy to it — the scale, the setting, the fact that you’re tucked into a real neighborhood rather than a resort strip. It’s the kind of stay where you wake up, open the window, and feel like you’re actually in Greece rather than a generic holiday bubble. If you’re traveling with someone and want something that feels personal rather than packaged, this hits that note well.

Why Guests Love It

Honestly, the numbers say a lot here — a 9.6 rating is rare, and it tends to reflect consistent experiences rather than a few lucky stays. What seems to resonate most is the combination of location and atmosphere. You’re in the real heart of Rhodes Town, not a sanitized version of it, and the property leans into that rather than trying to insulate you from it. It’s not for everyone — if you need a pool, a spa, and three restaurants on-site, look elsewhere. But if what you want is a well-placed, characterful base to actually explore one of Greece’s most historically rich towns, Diasoulas house is genuinely hard to beat.

Reviews of Diasoulas house

• Julie from United Kingdom – 13 June 2025 (10/10)

  This is probably one of the best, if not the best, accommodation I've ever stayed in. The apartment was wonderful and had everything we needed for our stay. There were only two of us and so we had a bedroom each, which were huge, spacious and very comfortable. They were furnished beautifully, as was the rest of the apartment.
  
  The kitchen had everything we needed for self-catering, and more. A lot of thought had clearly gone into what to provide and there was a coffee machine, juicer, toastie/ panini maker and so much more. Even ice cube trays in the freezer. When we arrived, we were gifted a huge bowl of fruit, a bottle of wine, water and some crackers and rusks and so we didn't have to struggle for food and drink as we arrived in the evening.
  
  The roof terrace was beautiful, with views of the castle and the old town and chairs, loungers, shade and sunshine. It was so lovely to sit up there in the day time and in the evening and such a wonderful addition to the apartment.
  
  The area was perfect for us, right in the heart of the old town, with fantastic restaurants and bars nearby (would recommend Hamam Cafe round the corner) and not too far to walk to the beach and the bus station. Small supermarket just around the corner.
  
  What could be improved: We had some trouble finding the accommodation as our airport taxi dropped us off outside the old town walls and we had to follow Google Maps directions in the dark, which took us to the square nearby, but we couldn't find the house. We asked nearby restaurant staff for help and eventually phoned the owner via a restaurant owner and we were directed to the right house and someone was there to meet us and show us around the apartment. The accommodation is basically round the back of the Romios Restaurant with the front door on Egeos Street, not Sofokleous.
  
  We also had a problem in one of the bedrooms, the one nearest the bathroom, as the door to the room is attached to the wardrobe via a hook and chain (to keep the door open). When I went to bed, I closed the door, not realising it was attached to the wardrobe and it accidentally pulled the wardrobe down! Luckily I managed to catch it before it fell to the floor, but just be aware of this before anyone else makes the same mistake 🙂

  Everything…..

• Graham from United Kingdom – 8 October 2024 (9/10)

  Lovely terrace. Great restaurants nearby. Very helpful owner.
  
  What could be improved: Too many steps.

• Ray from Australia – 16 September 2024 (10/10)

  Beautiful house in Old Rhodes Town. The terrace was an added bonus. We enjoyed having nibbles up there each evening. The location was brilliant and our host gave us treats to make our stay even better. Large bedrooms with plenty of room in all areas. Lots of restaurants nearby to eat out.
  
  What could be improved: Because there is no car traffic allowed we needed to wheel our luggage to the accommodation. Not really a minus though. We coped.

• Brena from United Kingdom – 7 September 2024 (10/10)

  Everything , it was fantastic . The owner met us and took us to the apartment . The fridge was stocked up with fresh fruit, water, a bottle of wine , a selection of biscuits, and coffee .
  Comfortable beds. There are lots of plug sockets in every room , even supplied beach towels . Air conditioning in every room . Much needed it was so hot .

It is close to everything, shops, restaurants, bars , and all the amazing historical sites, 15 min walk to the new town . 5 min walk to the harbour , not far from bus station , so much to see , we couldn't do it all in a week . We are going back next October. Such a very special place , and this apartment , more like a house, is just the icing on the cake

• Jocelyn from Canada – 12 August 2024 (10/10)

  Had a wonderful stay at the Diasoulas house in Rhodes Old Town. The house was in a quiet location close to restaurants and a supermarket. It was clean and spacious with satellite TV a fully equipped kitchen and a lovely private terrace. There were two spacious bedrooms with 3 double beds and a private bathroom and a shower. The owners were very friendly and helpful and the gentleman owner met us at the Main Gate on arrival to help with our luggage and escort us to the house. He also did the same when we left helping and escorting us to the Main Gate. I would definitely stay there again next time im in Rhodes and would highly recommend it to my family and friends.

• Ralitza from Belgium – 7 July 2024 (10/10)

  The apartment is spacious. We were three people, but it can easily fit 4 plus children. There are two balconies. Bathroom and toilet are together. The location is very good,just few minutes from the central square. Elli beach is about 20 minutes walk. There is a supermarket 2 minutes distance. Bus station is 15 minutes away. Hosts are very kind, they have provided some water, fruits, snacks,coffee for a good start of the vacation. Everything is spotless clean. The restaurant below is very good!
  
  What could be improved: Fresh air in the bedrooms comes only from the living room and kitchen.

• Johannes from Australia – 25 June 2024 (9/10)

  .location was great in the old town. Only a short walk to the main centre but far enough to be quiet. Plenty of restaurants in the immediate area.
  Could not fault this place and would highly recommend it.
  
  What could be improved: Toaster didn't,t work properly

• James from United Kingdom – 7 May 2024 (10/10)

  Met and shown around the house by a lovely Gentleman. Fridge had water, wine, OJ, fruit and there were some other snacks. Very quiet, traditional accommodation but literally a very short stroll from one of the main squares. Very well equipped kitchen and bathroom had complimentary toiletries also towels provided for the beach. Topped off (!!!) by the fantastic roof terrace, more than enough furniture, including 2 sun loungers with the choice of sun or shade throughout the day.
  
  What could be improved: No complaints at all

• Rachel from United Kingdom – 29 October 2023 (10/10)

  The apartment was spotlessly clean,; it was better-equipped than anywhere I've stayed in Greece before; the roof terrace was amazing, and the location was perfect!
  
  What could be improved: Nothing
