From the first time on we met the hosts we locked Anastasia, Nikos and Malonis into our hearts as they are a very lovely and kindhearted family. We arrived at sunday evening at 9 pm, and even though local supermarkets were still open for a quick food grab, Anastasia and her sons cooked us a traditional greek meal and provided us with a filled fridge containing everything we needed to settle in, enjoy our first evening/night and start the next day with breakfast without needing to worry about grocery shopping right after arrival.
You’ll have a stunning view at the ocean and its beautiful sun rise from the higher sited premises of this accommodation. Waking up in the morning to this view felt like a dream come true. We spent most of our time in the gorgeous garden that has been designed and built with love as it feels like the perfect place to escape your everyday life and to just relax at all times. The kitchen is fully equipped providing everything necessary and beyond for a group of 5 people. The bedrooms felt very inviting and comfortable, the same applies to the sleeping couch for the fifth person. Overall, the entire house and garden were clean and hygienic, and the water pressure was on point. Wifi was fast and stable throughout our entire stay, even while all of us were working simultaneously – just a quick mid-vacation working session to catch-up on the latest news. ;) For hot temperatures mid-season, you’ll have an outdoor shower for a quick cool down or rinse after sunbathing at the beach.
Communication with the hosts in general was as easy as you can wish with instant responses on any occasion and question. One of the outside floor tiles accidently broke and right after informing Nikos we were met with nothing but love and concern if everyone was ok and they even fixed it within a couple of hours on the same day! Further, we were allowed very flexible Check-In and Check-Out times even by asking for spontaneous late Check-Out just one day prior to departure.
Stegna is a very lovely and authentic town with great restaurants and bars, a nice sandy beach and a couple local supermarkets providing a well-rounded set of basic groceries. We recommend renting a car for your stay on Rhodes as you’ll be able to explore the west coast of the island for its gorgeous sunsets, various beautiful beaches along the east coast and a visit to Lindos and Rhodos city be it at day or night.
This accommodation deserves every bit of praise that it gets. We can’t stress our gratitude for the hosts and this opportunity enough. It is a no-brainer that we’ll be back for sure, and we recommend this AirBnB for everyone else big time!
