Van waar komt de naam “Kalopetri”? De heuvel waarop de Auberge is gebouwd heet ‘Kalopetri’, naam die werd gegeven door de Italianen, toen zij in het begin van de twintigste eeuw ( 1912- 1943) over het eiland heersten. Kalo betekent in het Grieks ‘goed’ en petri ‘steen’. Enkele delen van de Auberge werden onder meer gebouwd met stenen die men terugvond bij de graafwerken.
Auberge Kalopetri ligt te midden van een oase van rust en natuur, rondom citrus– en sinaasappelvelden met uitzicht op de Egeïsche Zee en met op de achtergrond het bellengeklingel van de geiten.
Het domein telt 26000m² en bestaat uit een hoofdgebouw en twee afzonderlijke bijgebouwen, met overal zee- en bergzicht.
Onze voorkeur ging naar deze plek – dichtbij de zee gelegen (ongeveer 700 meter) – ideaal om te wandelen en in de nabijheid van het authentiek bergdorpje Kritinia.
“Fabulous stay”
We stayed here for a week and had a wonderful stay, Ulrike and Ioannis were wonderful hosts and provided a wealth of knowledge regarding the local area, beaches, tavernas etc.
The apartments are in a beautiful setting and are well equipped and comfortable with everything needed for a perfect stay. If you want a fantastic place away from the hoard’s of tourists in a tranquil setting this is the place to come to. We are already looking forward to coming back.
“Perfect for a relaxing holiday”
We spent a few nights in October last year at this lovely place. The location is spectacular on a hillside above Kamiros Skala which means that the appartments have a beautiful view of the surrounding area. To explore you need a car, but driving is not a problem, as the roads are in good condition and the locals have a fairly relaxed driving style. Every detail at the Auberge was thought through. We arrived when reception was closed and Ulrike sent an email with details where the key to the appartment was kept. Included with the key was a welcome letter explaining details about the area, the Auberge and the meal of the evening. The breakfast varied every morning and was taken on the patio of the main building also overlooking the lovely scenery. We can highly recommend the Auberge to people looking for somewhere to experience Rhodes away from the crowds.
“Tranquil setting”
