Avis Rodothea on the Beach.

Had to find alternative lodging, 2nd bed was futon with hardly any mattress, didn't cover futon frame

We were greeted by Andreas upon arrival and I couldnt have asked for a better host! So accommodating & friendly. He helped us find best restaurants and hotspots while in Santorini. My group was genuinely sad when we had to say goodbye. 10/10 recommend

In phantastischer Lage, für Strandurlaub auch mit Kindern sehr gut geeignet. Leider ziemlich abgenutzt mit nakter Glühbirne im Schlafzimmer, ohne funktionierende Nachttischlampe, mit dürftiger Restausstattung an Geschirr und heruntergekommenen Liegestühlen auf der Terasse. Schade, weil bei dem Preis schon ein Tagespreis für die Instanthaltung reichen würde.

Good chokse

Appartamento molto bello di fronte al mare con tutte le comodità. Posizione ottima: spiaggia di Monolitos adatta alle famiglie a pochi passi, ristoranti e minimarket molto vicini. Consiglio, però, il noleggio di una piccola macchina per visitare l’isola con maggiore libertà. Impianto di condizionamento nuovo di zecca. Proprietario e team molto disponibili. Mi mancherà il suono delle onde del mare!

Lovely place

Let me start with the positive. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Now for the review. We stayed in the apartment for 13 days and honestly, couldn’t wait to leave. The place is furnished like a college dorm room. All the furniture is very basic and uncomfortable. There are no end tables or coffee tables, there is cheap dishware, glasses, utensils and bedding. The bathroom needs updating. The AC unit is not strong enough to cool the entire apartment. What makes it even worse is when you leave the apartment, the AC automatically shuts off (there is no way to keep it on). When you go out for the whole day, you come back to a very hot place. The Internet was awful the whole time that we were there. We could barely use it at times. The balcony is not private at all. The people that stayed next to us were outside on their balcony a lot smoking and were quite loud. We were hardly able to use the balcony as a result. Around the property, you will find junk abandoned cars, trash and people hanging around outside at night. The beach nearby was also underwhelming.

We are a family of four and stayed for one week. We were really disappointed. We had hoped for a beautiful and well equipped luxury apartment because of the description and the reviews. But almost everything was missing. We had no dishwasher, had to eat out of plastic bowls and the cutlery was of the cheapest kind, too. We didn't even have scissors. There was a washing machine without a manual and all the signs on it were in Greek, so it wasn't easy to get it started. The view of the ocean was clearly beautiful, but you shouldn't get close. Outside was a car park cluttered with debris and waste. A wreck of an old car was directly next to the house. All day and night cars and quads were coming and going directly beneath our balcony. It was really very noisy. People were shouting too. The beach was full of debris and waste too. Because of the heat we had to keep the windows open all the time. There was only one air condition in the bedroom that produced a very nasty smell so we couldn't use it. The children were sleeping in the big kitchen aka living room. There was no air condition there. We missed all the comfort and beautiful surroundings we had hoped for. On the plus side I have to say that the landlord was nice enough and when the toilet broke down and I sent an email in the morning he sent a woman to fix it and she came on the same day, well it was nearly midnight but she was there and she fixed it. She also organised a big bowl that I needed for salads. She got it from the apartment next door, that is also owned by the same landlord Andreas. He also organised our transit from the ferry to the apartment and from the apartment to the airport.That was really very helpful. So thank you for that. Non the less we really cannot recommend the apartment or the surroundings. The village of Monolithos was not what we expected. Nobody seems to care about the environment. There is so much debris and waste everywhere. Even on the beach and in the ocean you find plastic bottles and wrappings and cans. The place really looks run down and neglected. In the next village all is beautiful maintained and clean with a nice promenade.

Nice clean apartment with a view of a small fishing port. 3 restaurants, a small market and a bus stop are within 200 yards of apartment. Also, awonderful beach is about 100 yards from the apartment. Buses run often and It is easy to get into the villages of Thera and Oia where all the tourists go and reside.

Beach apartment,perfect for family,peaceful view.Monoilthos beach not overly crowded and if you need some Thira or Oia activity only 15 to 20 min by car. Walking distance to few restaurants serving fresh fish and traditional Greek dishes,also local store nearby. We really enjoy our one week stay in Santorini.Thank you Andreas.
