Elements

Exceptional villa

✓ Genuinely one of the best places I have ever stayed. The other reviews are correct, it actually looks better in real life. The rooms, the pool, the view, everything about it is beautiful. Definitely choose this if available

✗ It’s is an hour from Rhodes town, so a bit far from the main areas. But close to Lindos, about 8minutes. The pool was quite cold as well, we did use it, but would have liked it a couple of degrees warmer

Exceptional

✓ The villa is extremely comfortable and beautiful, equipped with everything a large family or group of friends needs for a summer holiday. A sandy beach with umbrellas and a beach bar is accessible within 7-8 minutes walking distance, and the infinity pool in the villa is large enough and provides a coolness and party mood at all times. The nearby village of Pefkos is just 15 minutes away and provides cosy restaurants, fast food and take away places, shops. Our heartfelt thanks to our host Fotis who tirelessly looked after us and took care of everything from small inquiries to more serious concerns (his calmness and awareness during the fires on the island was infectious and very much appreciated :) We would love to come back!

✗ Nothing. Ants were a bit of a problem, but we have encountered this at the beach villas on other occasions and we were largely prepared. It just requires a bit more care not to leave food out in the open that attracts them.

Beautiful villa, wonderful host.

✓ A group of 6 of us stayed at Elements Villa number 1, arriving Sunday 16th July 2023 just before the wildfires. I’ll review the amenities of the villa in the second section, but first it’s worth describing Fotis’ (the villa host) response to the fires first: We started to smell the smoke on the Thursday, and by the Friday evening we could see the smoke coming from the mountains towards Lardos (about 15min drive away). Fotis was extremely responsive to WhatsApp messages, he kept us updated and calm, and by the Saturday morning when we had no electricity or water, Fotis was at the villa to support us. He gave us the two options - we could stay in the villa where we were safe and had all our things, or we go to a hotel where there would be power/water/restaurants, he then explained the hotels would have approx. 400 people in the same situation and the better option was to stay in the villa. Thank god we did, because we later found these people were evacuated by the beaches and went through a very traumatic situation. Fotis kindly offered to drive us to the supermarket to get supplies, (we usually walked - less than 10 mins) and gave us guidance on how to stay cool and safe, he also remained in the area incase we needed him. As the day/evening went on Fotis stayed in touch, and finally when we could see the flames in the distance/we got the emergency evacuation message at midnight, I was in panic mode. He managed to secure us a taxi to the airport at 1am (15 hours before our scheduled flight home). It is worth noting at this time there were hundreds if not thousands of holidaymakers on the sides of the roads trying to evacuate and waiting for taxis/buses, and Fotis got us one within 30mins. We are all extremely grateful for how calm, approachable, and knowledgeable he was during a very worrying time. He went above and beyond for us and I can’t thank him enough. The villa - we walked up the steps with our mouths wide open - it’s stunning.

Very good

✓ Location.

✗ . Pool could of been alot cleaner, and clear that it required a few repairs to the base of the pool.. General garden area required attention...

Amazing, relaxing holidays perfect for groups.

✓ The view from the terrace and pool is amazing. It is very private and located in a calm area. We enjoyed the whole house and slept very well. Most nights, we sat in the lounge area of the terrace watching the sunset.

✗ The wifi-connection was rather slow and if you want to go to the beach, it is a longer walk to get to it.
