An eco-friendly hotel in the Medieval Town of Rhodes that offers quiet, discreet luxury, history and authenticity, as well as a little outdoor oasis where you can sunbathe and cool off in a Jacuzzi may sound like a bit too much to ask for, but I found it. It belongs to Felicity Marshall, a British mosaic artist, and one of her 17 (birth, adopted and foster – all grown now) children. They bought the 14th century crusaders’ building back in 2004 when it was close to collapse. Felicity oversaw every detail of the restoration and then went on to style it with a fitting collection of local and oriental furniture, objects and touches of art. She created six beautiful bedrooms and suites, all different of course, with superbly comfortable beds and excellent bathrooms. They are large enough, and there’s more space to sit out in the first-floor reading room and the bar-café which opens onto the terrace. Several of her children have now joined Felicity in Rhodes and together they run the hotel in a relaxed and friendly, yet very professional way.
