With Katarina and other staff on-site at all times, it was easy to ask them any questions in person. From the very start they were warm, checked up on us, and offered help with our plans for the week. It couldn't have been easier to get to the beach, literally 50 metres away. The beach is spacious, unspoilt and blissful. The apartment was spacious and sheets and towels were cleaned often. Katarina was the highlight of the week, she genuinely wanted us to have a good time and we had great chats! We learned that the apartments, and also the family-run restaurants by the beach, are quite unique in Rhodes and even Greece, which is becoming increasingly commercialised. The staff in restaurants and shops were often up for a chat, and proud to tell us of Stegna's authentic character! We specifically loved To Kyma for delicious salads, sea food and delightful staff. As young people who can't drive, it was a serene, laid-back place (we couldn't get to any nightlife or other towns, because of expensive taxi's, and the fact that busses don't come down to Stegna) - but it seemed perfect for couples and young families. This made it feel non-touristy and authentic. In terms of budgeting extra costs, I would bear in mind that these are not luxury apartments. We had a great time without very good wifi, and without turning on the Air-con, for which you have to pay 80 euros.
