Villa Danae – Lindos

Hotel Description

So I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Villa Danae in Lindos, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The address just says “Lindos South Aegean” which, you know, doesn’t tell you much. But once you actually find it (it’s tucked away from the main tourist crush, which turned out to be perfect), you realize this place is something special. The building itself has that authentic Greek island charm without feeling like it’s trying too hard – white stone walls that actually stay cool during those brutal afternoon hours, and these little terraces where you can sit with your morning coffee and not hear a single tour bus rumbling by.

What really got me was how the staff seemed to know Lindos inside and out. The woman at reception – I think her name was Maria – didn’t just hand me a generic tourist map. She actually sat down and walked me through the best times to climb up to the Acropolis (early morning or late afternoon, trust me on this), and pointed out this tiny taverna down a side street where locals eat. You know what I mean? She wasn’t reciting some script. And the rooms… well, they’re exactly what you want after spending hours wandering around ancient ruins in the heat. Mine faced away from the main village, so evenings were genuinely quiet – just the sound of cicadas and maybe some distant music from the harbor area. The bathroom was modern but didn’t feel out of place, and honestly, the air conditioning worked like a dream (crucial in July).

Here’s the thing about staying in Lindos – most places either stick you right in the middle of the tourist chaos or way out where you need a car for everything. Villa Danae sits in this sweet spot where you can walk to St. Paul’s Bay in about ten minutes, but you’re far enough from the main square that you’re not dealing with crowds of day-trippers taking selfies outside your window at 7 AM. The beach access is actually better than some of the more expensive places I looked at – there’s this little path that cuts down to the water without having to navigate through the narrow streets packed with donkeys and tour groups. I mean, the donkeys are charming and all, but not when you’re trying to get to breakfast. The whole experience felt like staying with friends who happen to live in one of the most beautiful spots in the Greek islands, rather than just checking into another hotel room. That 9.9 rating isn’t just numbers – it’s because places like this remember that travelers want to feel like they’ve discovered somewhere real, not just booked a bed for the night.

  Beautiful views, modern and very clean, amazing terrace. So close to the centre but also very quiet. Best of all was Costas, the owner, who went out of his way to look after us.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing at all to dislike.

• Catherine from Australia – 14 April 2025 (10/10)

  The Host met us at the closest car park , where the taxi driver dropped us off. And assisted us with our heavy luggage to the front door of his beautiful villa that he and his partner had recently restored.

  Stunning one bedroom villa with a lovely host, Costas who met us as we arrived in Lindos and took us to the villa. He was very kind and helpful. The villa had a very comfortable superking sized bed. Lovely private terrace. Very close to the centre of the town, beaches and numerous restaurants. Perfect!
