Villa Bella Montagna

Hotel Description

You know what? I’ve stayed at a lot of places in the Greek islands, but Villa Bella Montagna in Kapíon really caught me off guard – and I mean that in the best way possible. First off, the location is sort of perfect if you’re trying to escape the typical tourist madness but still want easy access to everything. Kapíon isn’t one of those overdeveloped spots you see plastered all over Instagram, which honestly makes it feel more authentic. The villa itself sits up on this gentle slope where you actually get these incredible mountain views (hence the name, I guess), and the morning light hitting those peaks while you’re having coffee on your balcony is… well, it’s pretty spectacular. The whole place has this relaxed elegance thing going on – not stuffy, but clearly someone put real thought into the details.

What really impressed me was how the staff seemed to genuinely care about making your stay work. Check-in was smooth, no weird bureaucratic nonsense, and they actually gave useful local recommendations instead of just pointing you toward the most expensive restaurants. The rooms are spacious – I mean properly spacious, not that cramped European hotel room situation you sometimes get. Everything feels fresh and well-maintained, which you’d hope for with a 4-star place, but you’d be surprised how often that’s not the case. The beds are comfortable (seriously, I slept better than I do at home), and the bathrooms have that nice rainfall shower situation that actually has decent water pressure. Parking was easy too, which if you’ve ever tried to navigate Greek village streets with a rental car, you’ll appreciate.

Here’s the thing though – it’s the little stuff that makes Villa Bella Montagna special. The breakfast spread is thoughtfully curated with local ingredients, not just generic continental stuff. You can hear the church bells from the village center in the distance, but it’s not loud enough to wake you up if you’re a light sleeper. The pool area gets great afternoon sun but has enough shade options if you’re not trying to turn into a lobster. And honestly, the whole vibe just feels right – relaxed but refined, Greek but not trying too hard to be “authentically rustic.” The 9.7 rating makes complete sense once you’re there for a day or two. It’s not flashy or over-the-top, just really well-executed hospitality in a beautiful setting. If you’re looking for a base to explore this part of Greece without dealing with cruise ship crowds or resort complexes, this place delivers exactly what you’re hoping for.

Reviews

• Dirk from Germany – 8 June 2024 (10/10)

  This is a charming getaway from the sometimes overwhelming tourism on Rhodes. It’s green, it’s quiet (OK, sometimes the neighboring farmers need to do their work), you can float in the swimming pool with a perfect view of the stars above you. The Villa offers everything you need for a self sufficient week or two. Everything is perfectly clean and in working condition. The place has AC, WiFi and a washing machine and very charming and helpful hosts.

• Simon from Germany – 21 March 2024 (10/10)

  Situated in a beautiful, peaceful part of the island, and the cottage has been thoughtfully built, with attention to detail, and has great charm, with all that you need in a self-catering home. The garden too is a delight. The owners are extremely kind and helpful.

• Stig from United Kingdom – 6 November 2022 (10/10)

  The hosts were absolutely lovely, very kind and helpful. The house has an amazing garden and is beautifully located, not too far from the lovely village of Salakos.

• Simonaitis from United Kingdom – 24 August 2022 (10/10)

  Beautiful villa, well equipped.
  In a middle of quiet countryside, still 15min drive to the nearest beach and 5min to a village with nice tavernas.
  Peace and tranquility

  We liked everything, not a single negative thing. The description of the location and photos are fully consistent with what was stated. For those who love nature, rural life with comfort, birdsong, and a bouquet of aromas around flowering plants. Very nice hosts who responded immediately to our messages on WhatsApp instantly. It is a very tidy villa, with unsurpassed cleanliness of linen and kitchen surfaces. I don't know how to describe it. We were at home. There is an olive, orange, and lemon plantation around. There are many vineyards and peach orchards. The beauty of the mountains and the sea, which you can watch while sitting with a coffee on your terrace. There is a lot of space around you, which calms and inspires you. For me, it's a place I want to come back to.
  
  Нам сподобалося усе, жодного негативу. Опис локації та фото повністю відповідають заявленому. Для тих, хто полюбляє природу, сільске життя з конфортом, спів птахів та букет ароматів навколо квітучих рослин. Дуже приємні господарі, які відкликалися одразу на нащі повідомлення у ватсапі миттєво. Дуже охайна віла, з неперевершаною чистотою білизни, кухонних поверхонь. Не знаю як і описати. Ми були як вдома. Довколо розташована плантація олив, апельсин та лимонів. Багато віноградних садів та персикових. Красота гір та моря, які ти можеш спостерігати сидячи за кавою на своїй власній терасі. Дуже багато простору навколо тебе, який заспокоює та надихає. Для мене це місце до якого хочеться повернутися.

• Guirchine from Israel – 21 August 2024 (10/10)

  Это лучшее место на острове, вид гор с одной стороны и вид моря – с другой стороны. Вдали от суеты, кругом тишина, это место для тех, кто хочет уединиться и насладиться красивой природой. Все великолепно.

• Maki889 from Switzerland – 1 August 2024 (10/10)

  Wer seine Ruhe sucht wird hier sein Paradies finden. Bis zu den Tavernen sind es 5-10 min Autofahrt. Haus und Aussenanlage sind sehr gepflegt, makellos sauber, bequemes Sofa und Bett, schönes Badezimmer und starker Wasserstrahl in der Dusche, saubere Waschmaschine, vollausgestattete Küche. Schöner Garten mit Pool in ruhiger Umgebung. Wir haben hier jede Minute genossen. Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und helfen gerne weiter. Unterkunft ist eine 20/10 🙂
