Mussolini's villa

Very interesting and unique piece of architecture. Very sad that this kind of masterpiece is abandoned and destroyed by vandals. If you will visit it, pay attention to some small details, such as tiles or wooden ornaments or texture of window glass that still remains. As all the place is in horrible condition, you can still find some little gems.

Fantastic experience to see, would make a fantastic living history museum. The views from the balconies are breath taking well worth a visit if you are on Rhodes.

Very interesting place to visit. Abandoned since 1940 apparently when it was built for his retirement which never came. It is huge! We felt like we walked round for ages. It is in a sorry state but you can see how grand it must have been. There is a lot of broken glass and sheer drops so do be careful. One room has a wooden board across a hole in the floor so look out for that too. We really enjoyed it. A good place to explore. There’s a chapel near it too that I assume was built along with the villa as it is in a similar state. There is a dirt track up to it so could be easy to access in a car if you aren’t able to do a lot of stairs but if you can, the best way to get to it is to walk up the stairs from the hotel across the way.

Fabulous history going back to the days when hunters from Italy came to holiday and of Hunt in the mountains of Rhodes. The two buildings were the original first hotels where they stayed. One now fully renovated with a room full of blatck atnd white photos of those year. The other to be renovated if funds come forward.

The place is mesmerizing. The forest around and the rocks add gloom to it. Recommend a must visit when you are in Rhodes, don't delay next time. the vila is destroyed by time.
