Rosalia House

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Rosalia House? It’s tucked away on this quiet stretch of Διακομιχάλη street where you can actually hear yourself think – which, if you’ve spent any time in Rhodes Town during summer, you’ll know is pretty rare. I mean, you’re still close enough to walk to the medieval city in about ten minutes, but somehow this little pocket feels removed from all the tourist chaos.

The place has this understated elegance that I honestly wasn’t expecting from the photos online. It’s a proper 4-star property, but there’s nothing stuffy about it – more like staying at a really well-appointed friend’s place who happens to have excellent taste. The staff actually remembers your name after the first day (shocking, I know), and they’ve got this way of giving recommendations that feel genuine rather than rehearsed. They steered me toward this tiny taverna about three blocks away that I never would’ve found otherwise, and it ended up being one of those meals you’re still thinking about months later.

What really sold me on the place, though, was the attention to details that actually matter when you’re traveling. The shower pressure is fantastic – seriously, after a day of wandering around cobblestone streets in the heat, that’s not negotiable. The rooms are properly soundproofed too, which is clutch because even though Διακομιχάλη is quieter than the main drags, Rhodes Town still comes alive at night. I could barely hear the occasional scooter puttering by, and trust me, Greek scooters are not subtle creatures. The air conditioning works like it’s supposed to (again, non-negotiable in July), and there’s actually enough outlets near the bed for all your devices – small thing, but you know how annoying it is when there aren’t any.

The whole area around Rosalia House feels more residential, so you get these glimpse-into-local-life moments that are pretty special. There’s this little bakery two streets over where locals queue up for their morning coffee, and honestly, watching that routine unfold while you’re sipping your own coffee on the small balcony – it’s those unplanned moments that make a trip memorable. Plus, if you’re someone who likes to escape the crowds but still wants easy access to all the Rhodes Town highlights, this location hits that sweet spot perfectly. You can duck back to your quiet refuge when the afternoon heat gets intense, then venture out again when the evening energy picks up. With a 9.6 rating, I expected it to be good, but Rosalia House actually delivers on that promise in ways that feel effortless rather than trying too hard.

Reviews

• Madeleine from United Kingdom – 3 July 2024 (10/10)

  The villa was fantastic, it had everyone we needed and the hosts were very helpful.
  
  What could be improved: We found the mattress topper on the double bed too soft so we took it off. The mattress is very comfortable I would say the topper is not necessary.

• Tomas from Lithuania – 28 September 2023 (10/10)

  I highly recommend it to couples and families who value silence, peace, privacy, impeccable cleanliness, a fully equipped house with all household appliances, services, and the owner of the house, who is always ready to help and advise. We are very satisfied with our stay at Rosalia's apartment, the hosts took care of even the smallest details for our comfort, which we did not expect and which were not available in other countries and places we visited.

• Kript0x from Estonia – 12 August 2023 (10/10)

  After a long trip, we were met with cool water, juice, fruits, and a pleasant gift: local sweets and a bottle of wine. The house is ideally located in a quiet area, 7-10 minutes by car from Rhodes town. The apartment is cozy, sparkling clean, very well equipped, and furnished.
  
  We found everything for everyday living: washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machines: classical and dolce gusto capsule, kettle, toaster, panini press. All essential kitchen utensils are at place. Also, there was no need to buy: salt, suggar, butter, olive oil, vinegar, coffee, tee, kitchen towels and toilet paper, and detergents.
  
  Overall, it is a wonderful place to stay. It has everything we needed, and pictures reflect reality so you can understand what to expect. Hosts speak English so we can communicate easily.
  
  Very nice and hospitable owners who responded to all our needs! We do hope to come back there!
  
  What could be improved: In the area there are now shops or restaurants in a walking distance, so consider to have a car.

• Vicky from United Kingdom – 31 August 2024 (8/10)

  Really well appointed house – home away from home. Great, responsive hosts. We stayed here for a family wedding so it was a perfect location.

• Emirhan from Turkey – 28 June 2024 (10/10)

  Rosalia House da beş gün muhteşem zaman geçirdik. Evde bizim için bıraktığı kahvaltı malzemeleri ve meyveler için ev sahibimize çok teşekkür ediyorum. Bizi çok iyi karşıladı. Çok nazikti ve her konuda bize yardımcı oldu. Evde ihtiyacınız olabilecek her şey var. Ekstra bir şey getirmenize kesinlikle gerek yok. Aklınızda hiç bir soru işareti kalmadan Rosalia House’ı tercih edebilirsiniz .

• Cedric from France – 21 September 2023 (10/10)

  Vasilis & Anastasia ont été très disponibles pour nous accueillir et répondre à nos questions
  Les équipements étaient top.
  A notre arrivée nous avions des bouteilles d’eau dans le frigo, des fruits dans la corbeille et tous ce qu’il faut pour un petit déjeuné, et de nombreux cadeaux de bienvenue.

• Thanasis from Cyprus – 4 September 2023 (10/10)

  Όλα ήταν πραγματικά τέλεια. Ο οικοδεσπότης ευγενικός και πολύ συνεπής στις υποχρεώσεις του, το σπίτι καινούργιο, ευρύχωρο και πεντακάθαρο. Η τοποθεσία πάρα πολύ καλή. Θα ξαναπάμε σίγουρα.

• Nicola from Italy – 31 August 2023 (10/10)

  Bill (il proprietario) è una persona eccezionale, ha reso la nostra vacanza confortevole. La casa ha ogni tipo di comfort sia all'interno che all'esterno. Consiglio vivamente questa struttura posizionata a due passi dal centro di Rodi. Grazie Bill, alla prossima……….!

• Kamila from Germany – 27 May 2023 (10/10)

  What could be improved: Nic, wszystko super
