Pure Nature Cottage

Pure Nature Cottage Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Pure Nature Cottage along that winding road from Láerma, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. The name sounds almost too good to be true, you know? But this three-star gem actually lives up to its promise — it’s tucked away in the hills where you can hear nothing but cicadas and the occasional goat bell in the distance. The free parking right on site was a relief after navigating those narrow Greek mountain roads, and I could immediately see why couples give this place such high marks.

The Setting

What strikes you first is how remote this feels while still being accessible. Láerma itself is this tiny village that most tourists skip entirely, which is exactly why this spot works so well. You’re about a 20-minute drive from the busier coastal areas, but up here it’s just olive groves and that particular Mediterranean quiet that’s hard to find anymore. The cottage sits on this little rise where you can see across the valley — not dramatic mountain views or anything, but the kind of peaceful landscape that makes you want to sit with your coffee a bit longer each morning.

The Room Experience

The room itself feels more like staying in someone’s well-loved country house than a typical hotel. Everything’s simple but thoughtfully done — wooden furniture that actually looks local rather than mass-produced, and windows that you’ll want to keep open for the breeze. The bathroom’s compact but perfectly functional, and honestly, you’ll probably spend most of your time on the little terrace anyway. I mean, when you’re surrounded by this kind of natural quiet, why would you stay inside?

What Makes It Special

Here’s what I didn’t expect — the owners actually know the area. Not just the obvious tourist spots, but the hiking trails that locals use and which tavernas in nearby villages are worth the drive. They’re not hovering or anything, but when you do chat with them, you get the sense they genuinely want you to experience this part of Rhodes the right way. The whole property has this unhurried feel that’s becoming rare — no rushing to turn over rooms or push you toward expensive add-ons.

Why Guests Love It

That 9.9 rating starts to make sense once you’ve been here a day or two. It’s not trying to be something it’s not — no pretense about being a resort or offering amenities you don’t really need. Instead, it delivers exactly what it promises: a genuine escape where you can actually disconnect. Couples especially seem to get it, probably because there’s something romantic about having this much space and quiet to yourselves. You’ll find yourself planning longer stays and already thinking about when you can come back, which is usually the sign of a place that’s doing something right.

Best hotels in Rhodes blend rooftop plunge pools, pebble beach cabanas, and chef-led meze tastings.
