I thought the location was going to be lovely but nothing prepared us for the actual beauty of the cove where this lovely little house is situated. We watched the sun rise and set from our garden, picked fresh figs every morning from the trees for breakfast, and swam every day in the cove. We ate in the excellent restaurants of Stegna in the evenings. It was never busy, not even in August; just very relaxed, very laid-back, and free from mass tourism. We hired a car to explore the island and we took a boat-trip to the Island of Symi (you can book a trip that stops off at the beautiful Symi Monastery first, it's lovely). The town of Rodos is only a 30 minute drive away & is particularly lovely in the evenings. We explored and swam in the deserted beaches along the south coast. The family were lovely..they met us, carried our bags, and left us with melon, milk, juice, eggs, fruits, biscuits; on our last day they brought us homemade olive oil and dried herbs to bring home. They checked on us to make sure we were okay but were always discreet. The house had lots of clean towels, bedding, cooking requirements, fridge, washing machine, air conditioning, & an outside shower. We cooked on the barbecue outside too. To get back in the evenings you need a torch which is really exciting, even for us adults! I cant say enough to describe how beautiful this place is. I would be happy to stay there and never leave the cove! xx
