GianAngelo Holiday Villa

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of places in Rhodes over the years, and GianAngelo Holiday Villa in Kremasti is one of those spots that just gets it right. It’s tucked away on Eleftherias Street – not exactly the main drag, which honestly works in your favor because you’re not dealing with the constant buzz of scooters and tour buses that plague some of the busier hotel strips. Kremasti itself is this laid-back town that most tourists blow right past on their way to Rhodes Town, but that’s their loss. The locals here actually smile when they see you, and the whole place has this authentic Greek vibe that’s getting harder to find.

The villa itself feels more like staying at a well-appointed friend’s place than a hotel – I mean that in the best way possible. The rooms are spacious (actually spacious, not “cozy” which is hotel-speak for tiny), and whoever designed this place understood that people want to spread out a bit on vacation. The whole property has this relaxed Mediterranean thing going on without being too precious about it. What really impressed me was how quiet it gets at night – you can actually hear the cicadas, which sounds cheesy but is surprisingly soothing after a day of sightseeing. The pool area is where you’ll probably spend most of your downtime, and it’s got that perfect afternoon sun situation where you’re not getting blasted but you’re definitely getting some color.

Here’s the thing about the location that took me a while to appreciate – you’re maybe a ten-minute walk to some genuinely good tavernas that don’t have English menus plastered outside (always a good sign), and the beach at Kremasti is this long stretch of sand that’s way less crowded than the famous spots everyone posts on Instagram. Plus, if you rent a car, which I’d recommend, you’re perfectly positioned to explore the western side of the island without having to navigate through Rhodes Town traffic every time. The staff here actually remembers your name after a day or two, which is refreshing – they’ll chat about where to find the best local wine or which beaches to hit when the wind picks up. Honestly, it’s the kind of place where you end up extending your stay if you can swing it, and I’m not usually that guy who gets attached to hotels. The whole experience just feels right – comfortable without being boring, Greek without being a caricature, and peaceful without being dead. If you’re looking for a base to actually experience this part of Rhodes rather than just passing through, this is your spot.

  We were extremely happy with everything about this house. It's beautiful, very spacious, airy, comfortable, extremely clean, very generous with towels and household supplies and well stocked with everything you need.
  The landlords were exceptionally nice and went over the top giving and helping us with whatever we needed.
  We recommend it very highly – very worth the price!

  Хороша віла з 4 просторими спальнями. Великі діжка з комфортними матрацами. Постіль та рушники якісні. Кухня повністю всім обладнана. Є кімната для занять спортом- це для нас мало вирішальне значення. В кожній кімнаті кондиціонер.
  Власники- то суцільне задоволення! Дуже приємні люди, які на зв’язку 24/7, живуть поряд.
  Окреме вітання Катерині 😘😘😘
