Situated close to the sandy beach amid lush greenery, the charming traditional “Villa Marqua” not only offers its guests fantastic views of the Aegean sea and the surrounding countryside, but also a unique taste of Rhodian rural life ensuring an enjoyable and memorable holiday experience.
Villa Marqua is located at the village of Fanes, at a distance of 26 km from the town of Rhodes and 13 km from the airport. It is positioned half way down the northwest coast of Rhodes thus offering fast and easy access to the numerous places of interest on this beautiful Dodecanese island.
The large sandy beach of Fanes is just 3 km away from the property, and while the sea here is not very deep, it is ideal for children. It is also perfect for sea sport lovers as there is a kite surfing school on the same beach.
The interior of Villa Marqua includes three enchanting bedrooms fashioned in the customary island style with traditional handmade king size beds offering their occupants the tranquility and rest they need on their vacation. An open-plan room includes a spacious lounge area with fireplace, stereo sound system and flat screen television for countless moments of relaxation, as well as a fully equipped country style kitchen where our guests are invited to try out their culinary skills. A cozy rustic dining area is located in the same space. The upper floor includes an open-plan room which includes the third bedroom with a traditional iron bed, a lounge-sitting area with two sofa beds and a bathroom with a shower. There is a small balcony facing the back yard and on the front you will find a big veranda with unique views to the Aegean sea.
Outside the villa, a large shady veranda with a view to the sea makes al fresco dining or evening drinks a delight. In the front yard you will find a hand made Jacuzzi where you can have endless time of relaxation enjoying our "Marqua" wine, lots of greenery and a perfectly decked out BBQ area with a traditional village oven is at the disposal of our guests. At the entrance of the property there is ample space for car parking, and next to the driveway there are lawns where one can play volleyball or other fun sports, enjoy a nap in the hammock, or soak in the sun on the loungers. The latest handmade creation is our unique Tree-House where our youngest guests can play and create fantastic memories.
Villa Marqua has been built and maintained exclusively by its owner. All interventions and modifications on the building and property in general have been carried out with love and in good taste. Great efforts have been made so the property blends in without spoiling the natural surroundings and consequently, our guests can enjoy an unforgettable sojourn in an unspoiled natural environment. The property is fenced off ensuring necessary privacy from the outside world.
