THE FOURNO HOUSE DESCRIPTION
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 .....
Kitchen
With everything you need, there 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 !
One double bed has a souring mattress with top quality natural fibre topper mattresses from Cocomat, and the other has a new(2021)spring mattress and memory foam topper.
Bathroom
A unique bathroom with a mosaic tiled sink, a walk in wet shower area, washing machine and WC.

LOCATION : MALONA, SOUTH EAST RHODES
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, to Rhodes 2nd town Archangelos. Of course there are also the village tavernas, which serve great food too.
