Villa Patitiri Traditional House with hot tub

Hotel Description

You know how sometimes you stumble across a place that’s just… right? That’s Villa Patitiri for you. Tucked away in Archangelos – and I mean properly tucked away, not just “off the beaten path” marketing speak – this traditional house feels like you’re staying at a Greek friend’s family place, if that friend happened to have impeccable taste and a seriously nice hot tub.

The thing about Archangelos is that most tourists blow right through it on their way to the flashier spots, which honestly works in your favor here. You’re about a 15-minute drive from Rhodes town when traffic’s cooperating (good luck with that in August), but far enough out that you actually hear cicadas at night instead of moped engines. The house itself is one of those renovated traditional jobs that actually gets it right – they kept the thick stone walls and wooden beams that make these old places so cool in summer, but added things like proper water pressure and, well, that hot tub I mentioned. It’s positioned so you can soak while looking out over the valley, and trust me, after a day of exploring medieval streets or beach-hopping, it’s pretty much perfect.

What really got me was the attention to the details that matter. The beds are actually comfortable – not always a given in boutique places like this. There’s proper blackout capability for the bedrooms, which you’ll appreciate if you’re trying to sleep off some of that local wine. The kitchen’s fully kitted out too, and since there’s a decent little market in the village (ask Dimitris at check-in where it is, he’ll point you right), you can actually cook with local stuff instead of relying on tavernas every night. Though honestly, the taverna scene around here is pretty solid – there’s this family place about a 10-minute walk down the hill that does incredible lamb, but I’m getting sidetracked. The WiFi works everywhere, parking’s never an issue (such a relief after dealing with Rhodes old town), and the whole place just feels thoughtfully put together. I mean, someone clearly stayed here themselves and fixed all the little annoyances that usually drive you crazy. It’s the kind of place where that 9.7 rating actually makes sense – not flashy enough for some people maybe, but if you want to experience Rhodes like you live there rather than just passing through, Villa Patitiri nails it.

  A great traditional village with superb hosts. You will have every detail you will need, even the ones you did not think you will need. You will feel the soul of the village and the history. Jakuzi on the roof is a surprise 😊
  
  What could be improved: Make sure you rent a A class car in order to be able to park nearby. This is not a negative experience, it is narrow roads due to the nature of history and culture of the village.

• Blaszkiewicz from Poland – 12 May 2023 (10/10)

  Very friendly and helpful owners. Local people are just amazing over there. Restaurants nearby serve very tasty Greek cuisine for adequate price. Local beaches are picturesque and barley untouched by humans. Highly recommend hiring car.
  
  What could be improved: We only stayed one week, and it should be longer.

• Michael from Germany – 16 September 2024 (10/10)

  Zentrale Lage in Archangelos und trotzdem ruhig gelegen. Shuttle vom Flughafen zur Unterkunft und zurück. Der Leihwagen wurde direkt zur Unterkunft gebracht. Sehr nette Gastgeber, die uns mit Geschenken empfingen. Eine Flasche Wein, Brot, Chips, Bananen… zur Begrüßung. Schöne Aussicht von der Terrasse auf die Burg und über das Dorf. Perfekt!

• Rachelle from Netherlands – 25 August 2023 (10/10)

  Prachtig huisje. Heel gezellig en super ontvangen. Zeer vriendelijk eigenaar. Zelfs met eten en drinken ontvangen! Heel leuk. Huisje lekker ruim en van alle gemakken voorzien. Leuke omgeving en alles dichtbij. Supermarkt, lekkere koffie, goed eten (prijs-kwaliteitverhouding perfect). Je moet wel mobiel zijn. Smalle straatjes, dus een kleine huurauto is fijner. Je zit centraal en dat is handig voor tripjes.
