Hidden behind the ancient walls of Rhodes Old Town, Aria di Rodi is the kind of place that makes you stop in your tracks: one moment you’re in a narrow medieval alley, the next you’ve stepped into a surprisingly expansive private garden—a rare luxury inside the UNESCO-listed city.
With only five apartments arranged around this 300 m² garden, the atmosphere feels intimate and unhurried, like a secret Mediterranean refuge. Arrive by day and the sunlit colors of the house, garden, and Rhodian sky instantly switch you into holiday mode. Arrive in the evening and you’re greeted by the sweet, heady fragrance of historic Datura, drifting through the courtyard as lantern-light and calm take over.
A stay where history lives
Aria di Rodi is more than accommodation—it’s a living patchwork of eras. The arched foundations trace back to the Knights, while later Ottoman touches brought high first-floor ceilings and a beautifully atmospheric hammam with a domed ceiling. Even with the lively Old Town close by, the garden holds a joyful serenity—one of the property’s most memorable charms.
The apartments & garden lifestyle
Each unit includes its own private outdoor sitting area, with shared access to the lush garden filled with lemon, orange, myrtle, and layers of flowers and greenery. Think: slow breakfasts under the trees, hammock afternoons, and evenings that stretch out with a glass of wine on your patio.
The studio spaces are designed for comfort and flexibility, featuring:
- A king-sized bed plus two single beds (sleeps up to 4)
- Private bathroom
- Well-equipped kitchenette
- A private patio just outside the door, facing the garden
