My boyfriend, nephew and I stayed at Casa Theano for 4 nights in September 2022 and wish we had been able to stay for a full week or longer! The property was perfectly located near the St. John Gate entrance of Old Town Rhodes,and is built within the surrounding fortress walls of the PALACE OF THE GRAND MASTER OF THE KNIGHTS OF RHODES and close to many other historical sites, restaurants and shopping. It is an easy walk to other sites (e.g., the Port at which the former "Colossus of Rhodes" was located) and the gorgeous beaches of Rhodes town. It is also closeby to the bus station if you wish to take excursions to more distant Rhodes sites like Lindos. What I enjoyed most about the property itself was all the attention to detail that Theano has put into its redevelopment, as well as her personal touch with her guests. She has taken a 7+ century old property in Old Town Rhodes and modernized it to 21st Century standards (including air conditioning in every room!) while keeping all the old charm.
Theano greeted us at the gate and then shared some of the details of her experiences on the renovation. It was clear from her passion about it that this property holds a special place in her heart, and now it does for us as well. I even met our next door neighbor (Konstantino) who was so kind and who welcomed us to the area and wished us a good trip. We were made to feel very at home both in and around Casa Theano.
Theano also had some complimentary refreshments for us, which was a wonderful surprise. Casa Theano truly epitomizes the term, "Greek Hospitality!" I would highly recommend a stay here for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in history while living in 21st century standards. Now I can say, "I slept in a castle"- check that off the bucket list!
