Nestled on the lush green hillside, just a stone’s throw from Polis Beach this charming 1-bedroom house is perfect for a romantic escape on the beautiful island of Ithaca. The westerly aspect ensures captivating sunsets and inspiring views across the sea to Kefalonia from the private terrace and when the water calls, a footpath from the house leads directly down to the beach. Here, you’ll find a kantina serving delicious, simple fare throughout the day and sunbeds for hire should you wish to stretch out and watch the boats bobbing back and forth across the bay.
The accommodation is spacious, well laid out and comfortable and though Rhodia Beach Villa is one of a collection of three villas overlooking Polis Bay, it enjoys a good degree of privacy with everything needed for a relaxing break on this magical island. The traditional village of Stavros on the hill is a 5-minute drive or 25-minute walk away - perfect for everyday essentials and a small selection of tavernas. Charming Frikes by the water is a further 10-minute drive and offers a wider variety of dining options. Self-drive boat hire is readily available for exploring the island from the sea and back on terra firma our Local Concierge can advise on guided walks and art workshops which can be arranged on request.
Rhodia Beach Villa shares a driveway with Lemonia Beach Villa and Elia Beach Villa. The houses are independent and perfectly suited to private bookings but collectively, they also work well for multi-generational gatherings or groups of friends travelling together.

Everything from booking to returning home was an excellent experience. Communication at all times was first class. The ease of transfers from airport on to villa and return made the long journey extremely bearable and stress free. Judith, the rep, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and always available. The accommodation and location were superb. As a consequence we will be returning to the beautiful Island of Ithaca, the same comfortable villa and the beautiful views overlooking Polis Bay.
Jane Samways, September 2022
Beautiful bay and lovely beach a short stroll away from villa which has a gorgeous view to wake up to. Nearby some great restaurants & cafes including within walking distance of a busy village Stavros which we loved. We always try when on holiday to do without a car ( a small contribution toward climate change impact) and 'getting about' easily achieved. Great rep Judith always on hand as need be. First time with Simpsons. Not our last!

The pictures don't do it justice, lovely simple private villa 2 mins from beach. Simpsons rep and all the arrangements as good as ever. Very relaxing break on a beautiful island.

Our choice of Greek properties is as diverse as the islands themselves, ranging from simple seaside charm to genuine luxury and style. Much of our portfolio is privately owned, and price alone is therefore not a universal guide. We contract all our accommodation in person, and each property has its individual appeal. To help you make the right choice based on your own priorities, we have devised a simple grading guide to be considered in conjunction with each individual property description, awarding up to a maximum of five stars for the below categories.
* For further clarification on Facilities and Amenities, please view the 'Details' tab for each property or speak to one of our experienced sales consultants.
The fabled land of Homer’s Odyssey and a safe harbour through the ages for Romans, Venetians and Ottomans, Ithaca is historic to the core: a beach holiday destination that comes with an epic story to match its beautiful landscape. The sweeping panorama of Vathy’s bay and a shoreline of eucalyptus-shaded coves give way to undulating hills of pine, olive and cypress groves, whilst timeless rural life plays out in the island’s unspoilt interior, ensuring that Ithaca remains a place to truly relax.
To help you unwind in style, we offer a selection of handpicked luxury villas, giving your Ithaca holiday a welcome touch of comfort.
