BIBLIOTHEQUE is a luxurious, art-filled townhouse-style apartment set within the walls of Rhodes’ Medieval City, offering an exceptional blend of history, comfort, and space—ideal for families or groups who want to stay right in the heart of the Old Town without sacrificing peace and privacy. Positioned on a quiet side street, the house enjoys remarkable views: the front faces the 15th-century Church of Agia Paraskevi, while the rear windows look into the courtyard of the Muslim Library, with sightlines towards the Medieval Clock and the Suleyman Pasha Mosque.
Space & layout
Designed for comfortable group stays, BIBLIOTHEQUE features three separate bedrooms (the “main brown,” “yellow,” and “blue”), two private bathrooms, and a generous living area with a dining space and a sofa bed. Guests frequently comment on how spacious it feels—especially for families—while still being easy to settle into like a true home.
Design with a cultural soul
This is not a standard rental. The interiors are decorated with original paintings by the owner, Marina Sotiriou (a graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts), alongside photography books showcasing Rhodes and the Dodecanese by award-winning photographer Nick Kaseris. True to its name—“Bibliotheque” meaning “library”—the house invites guests to contribute to its growing book collection by leaving a book behind as a personal footprint of their visit.
Modern amenities (with a touch of indulgence)
Despite the medieval setting, the house is fully equipped for modern travel:
- Free Wi-Fi throughout
- Air-conditioning
- Fully equipped kitchen with oven, refrigerator, dishwasher (and everything needed for self-catering)
- Smart TVs in every bedroom with extensive satellite channel access
- A workstation: the main bedroom includes a computer and printer
- Two bathrooms, one featuring a hot tub/deep soaking tub for spa-like downtime
Location highlights
You’re superbly placed for exploring on foot: the Grand Master’s Palace is around a 3-minute walk, the Archaeological Museum is about 400 m away, and Akti Kanari Beach is roughly a 16-minute walk. Rhodes International Airport is approximately 14 km from the property.
What guests love
Reviews consistently praise the quiet-yet-central location, tasteful décor, and thoughtful hosting. Guests often mention welcome touches such as stocked breakfast items, coffee, fresh fruit, and homemade treats (banana bread gets a special mention), plus practical help with luggage and even arranging airport transfers. The overall impression is of a place that feels warm, cared-for, and genuinely personal.
Best for: families and groups who want a high-comfort Old Town base with authentic character, a well-equipped kitchen, two bathrooms, and a uniquely artistic, bookish identity—steps from Rhodes’ most iconic medieval sights.
