Caesar’s Gardens
A Friendship Houseparty in Rhodes
This little gem is a real find – a modern, well-managed 3-star hotel with lovely facilities. We are delighted to have use of the hotel for a Friendship Houseparty and we know that Kosmas and his family will look after us well.
One guest in 2010 wrote 'I do think the hotel is under-advertised in the brochure: when you get there, it's 10 times better!' For 2011, we may share our Houseparty with the hotel's own occasional guest, but Caesars Gardens will be a child-free zone all season.
Set in a quiet spot about a mile from Lindos village, Caesar’s Gardens offers spacious, open-plan studios set around a swimming pool, the whole property surrounded by well-kept gardens.
Comfortable loungers and good parasols are grouped around the free-form pool and there’s a shaded eating area and snack bar too.
Rooms are a good size with cool tiled floors and mosquito netting for the bed. Air conditioning is available if needed and payable locally.
The nearest beach is Lindos Beach, a short taxi ride away – or a 20 minute walk (uphill on the way home). Guests at Caesar's Gardens can also use the private beach at Lindos Memories Hotel, a 5 minute taxi ride away. The pretty resort of Lindos is only 10-15 minutes’ walk away where, among various tavernas, you’ll find the family’s own Caesar’s Restaurant.
Caesar's Gardens was a huge success in Summer 2010 - everyone loved it and we are looking forward to our third season here where repeat guests will notice a number of small changes to make your stay even better!
Lindos Rhodes
Rhodes is the largest of Greece’s Dodecanese Islands and has a great deal to offer visitors – take no notice of the headlines grabbed by Faliraki a few years ago. The island is an idyllic mix of cloudless skies, white-washed villages, turquoise seas, ancient ruins and olive groves.
The stunningly beautiful ‘capital’ of Rhodes Town is the oldest inhabited medieval town in Europe – fought over for centuries by Romans and Turks, with the Order of the Knights of St John building a magnificent fortress here known as the Palace of the Grand Masters. Rhodes is also a modern port and a sophisticated town with a host of shops and clubs welcoming Greek and overseas visitors.
Our favourite resort is Lindos on the island’s sandy east coast. It’s a picture postcard village of sparkling white houses set on steep cobbled streets above a sweeping beach where local fishermen land the day’s catch.
Lindos is one of the most popular places on the island – the village is a protected national ‘landmark’ for its combination of ancient ruins – the Acropolis at the top of the hill, narrow pedestrian streets – hail a donkey if you don’t fancy the steep climb, and the perfect curve of the main beach
