Casa Zoe Luxurious Retreat

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Casa Zoe in Stegná – honestly, the GPS had me driving through what felt like endless olive groves before I spotted the signs. But then you round that last bend and suddenly there’s this gorgeous stone building tucked into the hillside, and I mean, the whole Aegelos Bay just spreads out below you like someone painted it there. The owner, Maria, actually came out to greet me personally (turns out she does this for most guests), and within five minutes she was already telling me which tavernas the locals prefer over the touristy ones down in Archangelos town.

The rooms here are something else – not huge, but designed by someone who clearly travels themselves and knows what actually matters. My bathroom had this incredible rainfall shower with water pressure that could probably massage your back, plus they stock these locally-made olive oil soaps that smell like the herb gardens outside. What really got me though was the attention to details you don’t usually see: USB ports built right into the bedside lamps, a coffee setup with beans from that little roastery in Lindos, and honestly the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in during three weeks island-hopping. The terrace situation varies by room, but if you can swing it, get one facing the sea – I spent way too many mornings out there with coffee, watching the fishing boats head out while the village was still quiet.

Here’s the thing about the location that took me a day to fully appreciate – you’re far enough from the main Rhodes tourist circus to feel like you’ve discovered something, but close enough that renting a scooter gets you anywhere interesting within twenty minutes. The beach at Stegná is literally a three-minute walk down a stone path (Maria will point it out), and it’s one of those perfect pebble beaches where the water gets deep quick and stays crystal clear. Plus there’s this family-run fish taverna right on the water – Kostas’s place – where they’ll cook whatever the boats brought in that morning. I actually ended up eating there four nights straight because, well, why mess with perfection? The whole setup just works in a way that feels effortless, like someone put real thought into creating a place where you can actually relax instead of constantly planning your next move.

  Es war alles absolut perfekt. Die Casa Zoe ist mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Sogar ein Whirlpool auf der Terrasse. Sehr zentrale Lage (am Hang) vom Stegna Beach. Fußläufig 5 min zum Strand. Kleinere Supermärkte in der Nähe. Sehr viel Auswahl an tollen Restaurants. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

  Ev eşyalı kullanışlı, 1 araçlık otopark alanı var, konum olarak denize yürüme mesafesinde (stegna sahili çok temiz bir denize sahip başka yerlere gitmenize gerek kalmayabilir), evin içi tertemizdi, ihtiyacımız olan herşey vardı. Tüm odalarda klima mevcuttu. Ayrıca biz gelmeden hazırlanan ikramlar çok hoştu. Herşey için teşekkürler
