A little away from the buzz of Molyvos, this cluster of traditional red-roof buildings offers ample chance to relax, with nice grounds, pleasant beachside rooms opening to verandas, and a couple of swimming pools—hard to find in Molyvos. Greek nights, yoga classes, and cooking lessons are among the many activities geared to keeping guests entertained, though best of all may be lying in a lounger and enjoying views that extend out to sea and up to the castle.
In these handsome terra-cotta-roofed bungalows, soothing color palettes and lots of wood accents invite relaxation, while views from the verandas take in the sea, Petra, and Molyvos, and a small beach follows the bay beneath the L-shape pool. A buffet breakfast is served on the terrace overlooking the gardens and the sea, while the on-site taverna serves dishes made with local seasonal ingredients. Guests can hop on the shuttle bus to explore Petra.
A former olive press, complete with a landmark chimney, has been renovated to a fine degree—the hotel has a boutique feel, and the chic rooms are large, airy, and best of all, benefit from dramatic sea views with waves crashing against the thick stone exterior wall, below windows that open wide on to Delfinia Beach. There is a handsome pool, and the breakfast area is a nice place to start the day.
Most of the rooms and their balconies at this delightful stone-fronted presence on Molyvos harbor overlook the photogenic quay—the lobby even extends into a lively cobblestoned waterfront tavern that's a great place to pass the time. Rooms are simply decorated but charming with painted wood furniture—the one overlooking the village rather than the sea is full of island atmosphere.
