Thea Villas and Suite

We booked Thea 4 after a diligent search for properties across Lindos, shortlisting many and finally settling on Thea 4 as the sea views looked stunning. This was to be a long-awaited family holiday and a return to Lindos after 34 years for my wife and I, we were all really looking forward to it. I thoroughly recommend booking a transfer with Pallas travel, very good value and a thoroughly professional service. Just takes the stress out of the situation and for us saved a small fortune on taxis and hire cars. Also thoroughly recommend the sailing trip with Pallas travel – excellent. ABC supermarket is also good, some fresh veg, mostly frozen food for main meals along with a cold counter for ham and cheese etc, but you’ll find something and they are very reasonable compared to the other supermarkets. They definitely have a much broader selection than the others. If you want a butchers counter or just more choice there is a great supermarket called Flevaris 4km outside Lindos heading north, so if you have a car that will be a good place to shop. On arrival to Thea4 we were immediately struck by the lack of sea view, the property details showed a beautiful sea view and described it as well. I mentioned to the person meeting us, we later found (when we got home) out they only work with Pallas travel and not the Lindian Collection so unable to comment. The property location is good, literally a few minutes down to the beach and a similar time up to the square or into the village. The courtyard is exactly as described with a table, 4 chairs, 2 sun loungers, an airer and BBQ. Off the courtyard is a laundry room with washing machine. The master bedroom has a wardrobe, smart TV and aircon with an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has no external window so relies on an extractor fan and consequently can smell a little damp at times, this permeates through to the bedroom. Opening the door and windows helps alleviate this problem. The second bedroom has twin beds, a wardrobe, smart TV and aircon, just off the bedroom is an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom has a shower but no shower curtain so anything on the floor near the shower will get soaked. During our stay we noticed a smell from the drain in the floor, we put some laundry detergent into the drain and that resolved the smell for a few days until topped up. No plugs for the sinks were supplied except in the kitchen. Both rooms had beach towels. We did notice a strange smell in the bedroom but either we got used to it or it vented quickly, either way it wasn’t a problem for us. It’s not the wooden furniture, more of a musty smell. The kitchen is just sufficiently equipped, mainly 4 of most things; so, if you were a party of 4 you would have to wash things up to use again in the same meal, you couldn’t put a plate of food in the fridge for example, but there are a few other containers which can be used for this. There is a filter coffee maker, Tassimo coffee machine, hob, oven and decent size fridge freezer.

Stayed in other Thea villa’s, this one is probably the best for space and views out over the bay. Two minutes from all the restaurants and bars, yet nicely tucked away from the noise of them, the perfect location.
