The most fabulous villa in a stunning location.

Villa Galini is simply outstanding. It is more like a 5 star boutique hotel. The location is wonderful with a 2 min walk onto the beach, yet tucked away and elevated so wonderfully quiet and peaceful with just outstanding views across the bay. The quality of everything is top notch and fully equipped for your comfort. The outdoor space is the best we have ever stayed in with outdoor lounge and dining under the canopy and then the fabulous pool. You really feel like a film star in Beverly Hills !!
Russ and team cannot do enough for you and the local car hire and transfers were also amazing. It has been so lovely to escape the current COVID situation and relax somewhere safe and friendly. At the end of the day holidays are precious times and you get what you pay for. I can’t recommend enough - thanks Russ you are outstanding at this.

5* Luxury

The delight on our faces when we arrived at Villa Galini after a long long day of travel was unreal. This villa is amazing both inside and outside and in a perfect location with wonderful sea views certainly 5 * luxury. We always look forward to our family holiday each year spending quality time together away from busy life styles, Villa Galini is certainly the place to do just that. Thank you Russ for all the information you provided me with and for providing the quality accommodation for a perfect holiday. Best wishes .

Perfect romantic stay

Both myself and my husband (newly weds!) had the most fantastic stay at Villa Galini. The property is faultless, amazing decor (extra bonus if you love fab interior design) and the communication before and during our stay was fantastic, Russ really did do everything to ensure our stay was memorable. The little touches such as the coffee machines outside, the filled fridge on arrival with plenty of essentials, pool towels and a fantastic music system outside meant we could make the most out of the villa day and night after an evening in nearby Lindos or pefkos. We would recommend staying here without any hesitation. We will be back!! Thanks again!

Outstanding Villa perfectly located

I cannot say enough good things about the villa and Russ (owner). The location is incredible. We used taxis to get to Lindos which is the way to go as parking there is tricky. The bay is much quieter and has two great restaurants within a 2 minute walk. You need a car to use the big supermarket but for the essentials there is a great store at the bottom of the hill. Russ has worked hard on all the details of the villa. Great views and little places to eat and drink outside around the pool. The villa is fully stocked for cooking and grilling. The pool is wonderful. Alexandra (manager) was so kind and brought us some treats for the kids. We will definitely go back if we go to Rhodes again.

Fabulous Villa

Our family have just returned from a fantastic two-week holiday at Villa Galini. The villa is decorated to a high level, particularly the outside area which is exceptional. The outside seating and dining areas are wonderful. So much thought has clearly gone into making the villa as comfortable as possible. Love the coffee machines, outdoor fridges, BBQ area, not to mention the music system throughout. It feels very special indeed and is every bit as good as the photos suggest. The views are amazing, and it was very peaceful, near the beach and several restaurants. Also, on the evenings we did not want to drive, we found it really easy to pick up a taxi at the local hotel. Owner Russ and Alexandra from the Management company were responsive and really helpful both before and during our stay. Russ made some great recommendations including M&S Car Hire/ airport transfer (great!) and the local supermarket which offers online shopping (we arrived to a stocked fridge and cold beers!) and the local restaurant Gaea (a 2 minute walk) where the fish is exceptional. We would highly recommend Villa Galini – you will not be disappointed.

5* service from start to finish

Literally the most incredible Villa we have stayed in and we are frequent travellers and have stayed in many villas . Every single thing you think you’ll need is provided . The outdoor area and pool is one of the most beautiful we have ever seen . We were very unlucky to experience a few days of drama being caught up in the awful fires that Rhodes experienced but the help, support and guidance we had from not only Russ the owner but especially Alexandra who looks after the villa in Rhodes was above and beyond and we honestly felt more supported from them that what we were hearing from holiday makers who had travelled to hotels with major tour firms and for this I can’t thank them enough . Luckily we had booked for 2 weeks so did manage to enjoy not only the wonderful villa but also the surrounding area especially Lindos which we fell in love with. We hired a car but taxis were easy and cheap and only 10 mins into lindos so we could enjoy wonderful meals and also have a drink . If your a family thinking of a Villa holiday in Rhodes then Villa Galini has to be your first choice . Truly a stunning special villa

Good to get some winter sun

Very homely villa with a large outdoor space. Some very nice touches and loads of character. Pool was actually quite cold which meant we didn't really go in it so much (we visited in October UK half term). The beach is really close and the water is very calm. There is also water sports, jet ski's, inflatables etc. There is a restaurant called the Lindian Jewel which is just down the road which is also good and has very good food. Really good comms from Russ on the lead up to the holiday.

Idyllic Relaxation

I was truly blown away by the thought and detail that the owner put into making sure we had a fantastically relaxing and memorable stay, The location couldn't be better with uninterrupted sea views, tranquil pool and garden areas yet a selection of family run restaurants and bars within walking distance. The Villa is finished beautifully with design touches that wouldn't be out of place in the finest 5* luxury resorts. The outdoor living area is the perfect place to enjoy a chilled glass of something and watch the sun set after a relaxing day around the pool or to revitalise before heading into nearby Lindos to explore and enjoy one of the many fine restaurants (the owner kindly made some excellent recommendations). I have since seen the amazing photos of the villa at villa in rhodes and if you need any further reassurance you can see the detail of the finish and the wonderful features of the villa - sadly ours was a short stay this trip but we will be back and are counting down the days until we are next around the pool enjoying the Lindos sun and a cheeky afternoon G&T.

Wir kommen wieder! 😍

Wir (2 Erwachsene, 3 Kinder) haben unsere Ferien sehr genossen. Die Villa ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Die Küchenausstattung ist perfekt, ich konnte sogar einen Kuchen für unser Geburtstagskind backen (Kuchenform und Mixer). Die Kinder waren vom Pool begeistert, wir Erwachsenen genossen die Launch-Egge und Sonnenliegen. Der Outdoor Bereich ist sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Wir haben es sehr geschätzt, dass sogar Pooltücher vorhanden sind (Gepäck). Grill optimal ausgestattet sogar Fisch-Grill-Einsatz. Die Beachnähe und der kleine Einkaufsladen (Baguette) runden die tolle Lokation ab. Wir können die Villa Galini allen empfehlen. Wir kommen wieder! 😀 Die Kommunikation mit Russ war perfekt. Die Reise- und Zutrittsanleitung zur Villa sind optimal. Alexandra, Ansprechsperson vor Ort, war jederzeit erreichbar und auch vor Ort. Vielen Dank für die tollen und erholsamen Ferien.

A carefully thought out and extremely well designed villa which caters for every need.

From the moment we entered Villa Galini we were blown away. Russ has taken time and care in his design and this reflects throughout the Villa, even to the mirror in the kitchen capturing the picturesque view of the bay in the reflection (very clever). I can honestly say this is the best holiday i have had from visiting the pretty towns of Rhodes and Lindos all of which were easily accessible, to knowing that after a day out exploring we would enjoy to relax by the pool afterwards. There are a few places to eat locally in the bay and every meal that we had was extremely good. I will be to happy to visit here again and felt very reluctant to leave. If you are looking to book a villa then you will not be disappointed with Villa Galini.

Absolutely fabulous! We loved every minute.......

Where do I start! Villa Galini is stunning and surpassed our expectations. The lovely surprises in the lead up to the holiday set the scene and on arrival we were thrilled. Russell has such an eye for design and Villa Galini is very stylish and so well appointed. Although the villa itself is beautiful, it is the outside space and pool area that really set it apart from other villas. The beautiful outside dining and lounge area looking out over the gorgeous pool and the sea is amazing. The bbq was brilliant for the couple of nights we dined in. The sun loungers are high quality and pool towels are provided. There was even inflatables, much to my daughters delight. It’s great to be able to play your music round the pool with the Bluetooth system too. The villa was extremely clean and the service team that came during our stay were great. Our family had a truly fabulous holiday and we sincerely thank Russell for having us as guests in his beautiful home. We would highly recommend Villa Galini to anyone and hope to be back again in the not too distant future!

A wonderful villa by the sea!

This was our second stay at Villa Galini and as soon as we arrived it felt like home. The villa is very clean, beautifully presented on our arrival and the outdoor area and pool was even more amazing than our first visit two years ago. Russ the owner has thought of everything, the villa is so well equipped with everything you need and more. We enjoyed visiting the beach (2 minute walk) in the mornings, where you’ll find water sports and cheap sun loungers to hire. We spent the afternoons at the villa enjoying the pool and relaxing on the luxurious sun loungers whilst listening to our music on the outdoor surround sound speakers. There is a lovely hotel restaurant across the road where we ate most evenings over looking the sea. The supermarket which is a 2 minute walk from the villa has all the essentials you’ll need and is very reasonably priced and there is a bigger supermarket 5 minutes by car if you should need it. Lindos is 10 minutes away and is well worth a visit on an early evening. In a nutshell we would highly recommend this villa to everyone and we had a fantastic holiday at Villa Galini. We will definitely be returning some time in the near future.

Just as we hoped it would be.

Fantastic outside space, with shade when you need it and a nice pool. We loved using the BBQ and eating outside, the appliances we're all of good quality right down to the coffee machine. The villa was clean and well decorated with more than enough space for two. My wife always needs more hangers and hanging space, but at Villa Gallini we had more than enough. The welcome pack was also very well received although it's worth mentioning a supermarket is closer than the beach so its well positioned to get what you need when you need it.

ABSOLUTE PARADISE

I am so often disappointed with holiday rentals..... but not this time! Booking Villa Galini was very straightforward and all my questions and queries were answered quickly and honestly. The week before we left to go to Rhodes I was bowled over by their pre-welcome pack, such a lovely thing to do and as it turned out, shades of things to come. When we arrived at the villa I was so delighted - it really is absolutely stunning, incredibly comfortable and with wonderful attention to detail. Spotlessly clean, beautifully maintained and lots of finishing touches that made it feel very special indeed. The pool area is divine and because it was very warm we spent many happy hours relaxing there. I cannot say enough positive things about Villa Galini, the owner was very helpful and completely understands the true meaning of hospitality, we loved the villa so much we rarely wanted to venture out but the island is spectacular and well worth exploring. We really can't wait to go back ❤️

Stunning Attention to Detail, Truly Special.

Ever since our first interaction with Russ the owner and designer of Villa Galini we were blown away by his eye for detail, nothing was too much trouble and he genuinely cared that we were relaxed, had everything we needed and could just enjoy our luxury break. When we arrived there were some beautiful little touches that were very much appreciated (we wont spoil the surprise for future guests). The view over the bay from the beautifully decked pool and garden area was a super backdrop to dinner on the extensive outdoor terrace with the pool lit by night and the stars twinkling above it made for some memories we will enjoy for a lifetime. We would recommend this super property without any hesitation and look forward to returning.

The perfect villa, for a perfect holiday!

Right from the first contact we had with the owner regarding the booking, we found the process straight forward, helpful and friendly. Our emails were answered promptly and very informatively. Myself and my wife thought the villa was stunning, spotlessly clean and tidy. We really liked the way the villa was furnished and decorated, it was totally to our taste. We were amazed at the choice of equipment in the kitchen and the outdoor area. There was even a fridge outside to keep your drinks cool. It was really useful to have a dishwasher and a washing machine in the villa. The additional things such as cleaning supplies, toiletries, bath towels and luxurious pool towels were a nice addition too. The outdoor area is perfect to chill out in the warm evenings and is a welcomed break from sun in the daytime. The pool was beautiful, perfect depth (1.3M), a great size for the family to have fun in and was also well maintained. There are plenty of sun beds, outdoor seating etc...and a great BBQ area should you want to eat in. Our children particularly loved the pool (even at 10pm!), the wifi which they could use anywhere in the villa grounds and they enjoyed the excellent choice of DVDs and CDs on offer. Alexandra (Villa manager) visited us at the beginning of the holiday and was most helpful and informative. She reassured us that she was always there should we need her. The villa location is brilliant, we didn't realise how close it was to the restaurants, supermarkets and the beach, all within a 2 minute walk. We chose to eat at the local restaurant Azzuro most evenings which has excellent food and great views of Vlicha Bay. This was a real bonus. In a nutshell what we are trying to say is the villa is perfect. This has been our best family holiday to date! Thank you Russ for sharing your villa with us and I will definitely consider returning one day.

Stunning Villa!

Incredible villa, wonderfully managed and a truly great location for a holiday. We traveled out to Lindos for our wedding at the end of May and found Villa Galini to be the perfect base. 40 minute drive from the airport and you wind down into the quiet yet large vlicha bay. With only a handful of hotels, apartments and villas you don't feel like you are in a really touristy spot which allows for a relaxing stay and some beautiful views. The villa is nestled slightly up the hill and immediatley you can tell it certainly different to the others around! The villa has recently undergone some more improvements to really make it feel like you are staying in somebody's home rather than a rental villa. Inside you have 1 bedroom downstairs that opens out onto the beautiful shaded area poolside and there is also a fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with a lovely shower. The outside living area has a dining table, outdoor fridge, coffee machine and sofa's to relax in the shade. The pool area looks out over Vlicha bay and the pool itslef has easy access with concrete steps and also and ledge at one end allowing the kids to splash around without the worry of being out of their depth. The pool is however all one depth so diving isn't really advised! Upstairs there are two more bedrooms with balconies and a shower/bath. Villa Galini is about a 5-10min drive to Lindos where the beach is much more sandy than Vlicha Bay however be advised that driving in limited in Lindos and paring can get quite frantic in the mornings when the tourist buses arrive to visit the acropolis! As mentioned Vlicha bay is quite quiet and places to eat are fairly limited. Having said that, the Lindian Jewell (2 min walk) offers great food as well as takeaways and also the Yota Beach (3min walk) does some fantastic food! The villa does have a great BBQ area which i would advise taking advantage of. Just off the main road at the top of Vlicha Bay is a big supermarket where you can buy everything you will need for your stay! Overall i would highly recommend staying at Villa Galini. We honestly felt it was the nicest villa we have stayed in and Russ (owner) was so helpful during the booking process, even sending us Christmas cards, luggage tags and a welcome home card! We just hope not too many people find out abut this gem of a location! ;-)

About the host

Hosted by Russell Andrews

Host profile image
Having visited Rhodes more than 25 years ago, it was one of my choices when I decided to purchase a property abroad, as I’d loved my time here and always promised myself I would come back. However, being rational, I decided to widen my search to make sure I was making the right decision. I wanted somewhere I wouldn't tire of, somewhere I felt safe and comfortable, and somewhere I could kick back, relax and call a home from home.

Why they chose this property

After searching for a property for more than 2 years travelling to, and holidaying in, over 12 destinations in Europe and America, I finally came back to Rhodes! I find the pace of life relaxing, the people welcoming, the history fascinating, and the sun and sea absolute perfection! I visited Vlicha Bay almost by chance, and immediately fell in love with the tranquility and beauty of it. Again, being rational, I walked away, but the views and peacefulness wouldn’t leave me. I returned and bought Villa Galini, and nurtured it into the stunning villa you see today.

What makes this property unique

One of the most sought after private villas on the island of Rhode, very near to the stunningly beautiful historic village of Lindos.
