Caesars Gardens Hotel & Spa

Twenty-three rooms on a hillside above Lindos, with gardens rambling around them and the village below: the name sounds imperial, but this hotel goes the other way entirely. Driftwood, stone, and traditional crafts give the rooms an Aegean handmade feel, balanced by proper modern bathrooms. A central pool ringed with loungers, a quiet spa, and two restaurants serving Greek farm-to-table food round things out without any fuss.
