HOLIDAY HOMES IN RHODES : MALONA
This is a great opportunity to stay in a real Greek village house, with all the charm that cannot be experienced in a modern villa or hotel. These houses have been renovated lovingly with traditional materials and Eco friendly techniques which help to keep them cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. The joy of these houses, apart from their unique character, is that they are away from the mainstream tourism areas of the island. You can choose when to join the hustle and bustle of tourist hotspots, or totally escape and easily explore the wilder, emptier parts of the island from here.
Malona is located in easy reach of lots of great beaches, 5 mins to your nearest 3 beaches, Sandy, fine pebbles or stones are your choices. 15 mins from Lindos, 45 mins to Rhodes town, and 45 mins over to the wilder areas of Monolithos. A car is an important part of a holiday here!
If you are the kind of people who like to experience something a little different, and enjoy being in the heart of the real Rhodes with all its charm, character and quirks, these are the houses for you.

THE FOURNO HOUSE
This is a lovely authentic house with an exciting 4 meter high traditional 'Kamara' (archway) in the middle of this open plan space.
It is a unique Greek experience to stay in this kind of a house, and you need to be agile to manage the quirky stairs to the beds and roof terrace. With the beds on the upper platforms looking down into the house, you feel that the house is much bigger than it is. Enjoy the pleasure of life with the front door open, as you step into the gentle pace of village life. Inside the house you will find .....
With everything you need, this is a practical hand made kitchen, which is a real pleasure to cook from. We run an honesty system in the house where you will find some kitchen basics you need already waiting for you. All we ask you to do is replace or add to the kitchen stores as you see fit.
Double beds x 2 , single sofa bed x 2 There are 2 comfy double beds set up on high traditional platforms, with a bathroom below one and a walk-in wardrobe/storage area under the other. (Please note : access to beds is from the feet end of bed). As you climb up to bed, the house becomes even larger as you look back down on it, and it takes on a magical feel. The bed areas bring you up close with the original wooden beams and bamboo ceilings. The Greeks of old just knew how to do it right ! Both double beds have topper mattresses for comfort, including one with memory foam. Bathroom A unique bathroom with a mosaic tiled sink, a walk in wet shower area, washing machine and WC. All the walls are covered in a coloured natural plaster and the house gets its name from part of the remaining old bread oven that serves as a shelf area in the corner.

LOCATION : MALONA, SOUTH EAST RHODES
These 1895 original old village stone houses, restored with environmental materials are set in a quiet, traditional corner of the village of Malona. Just 5 minutes drive from the beautiful golden beach of Agathi, and the pretty harbour of Haraki, the village of Malona has alot to offer in both the summer and the winter. It is an active traditional agricultural village, surrounded by orange, mandarin and olive groves which keep the locals busy all year around. Malona is a small village with little narrow streets, and retains its Greek traditional pace of life. A place where the men of the village sit out in the evenings in the local cafes, and the women sit together in the streets with the children. Many here speak some English after time spent working in America, and you will find them mostly friendly. A 15 minute drive finds you in the beautiful village of Lindos for romantic evenings out, or 5 minutes to sit by the sea in Haraki, or 10 mins in the other direction, in the heart of Rhodes 2nd town Archangelos. Of course there are also the village tavernas, which serve great food too.
