Villa Russelia
A private family villa with pool and garden on the west coast of Rhodes

Villa Russelia sits on a hill on the west coast of Rhodes, surrounded by 4,500m² of its own garden and open fields, with no direct neighbours and 360° views of the Aegean Sea and the green hills. Built with prominent stone and wood elements, with a pool, a BBQ shed and a kitchen made for actual cooking, this is a proper family home — not a hotel package. The beach is a 5-minute walk. The nearest sound is the wind.

Accommodation

A Well-Built Home with Real Character 

Villa Russelia is built the way houses used to be built — stone walls, solid wood, materials that age well and feel right underfoot. At 220m², the space is generous without being excessive. The open-plan living room has deep sofas, a working fireplace and furnishings that mix vintage pieces with what's actually comfortable. Nothing is here for show.

Accommodations for 8 to 10 Guests. 

The villa sleeps up to 10 guests across four individually decorated bedrooms, each with its own character and a proper bed. Two of the upper-floor bedrooms share a balcony with a direct sunset view over the hills to the sea — the kind of view that makes you stay at the table longer. The third upper bedroom is attic-style, spacious and private, with its own balcony and two extra beds — well-suited for children, teenagers or young adults who appreciate their own space. The ground-floor bedroom has a window overlooking the garden — quieter and cooler, ideal for lighter sleepers or younger children. Both bathrooms have a full bathtub with shower attachment.

A Dream Kitchen and Dining Experience. 

The kitchen is the heart of the house — designed with a traditional country feel but equipped for serious cooking. The marble-topped veranda table outside seats the whole group, with uninterrupted views of the sea, the hills and the garden. There is also a fully equipped second kitchen in the basement, useful for larger groups or longer stays.

A Garden Oasis with a Large Pool. 

The 4,500m² garden at Villa Russelia is the kind of space that takes a few days to properly discover. The front garden has flowers and shaded seating. The back opens into fruit trees — figs, lemons, oranges, plums, grapes — herbs you can actually pick, and quiet corners to sit in. The large pool faces the sea. Resident cats tend to appear at their own discretion.

Unforgettable Outdoor Dining. 

The separate BBQ shed has a stone-built wood-fired oven, a charcoal grill and a large handmade wooden table with benches. Herbs grow just outside the door. It's the kind of setup where dinner stops being a meal and becomes the evening.
