Loriet Hotel

This enchanting hotel is set in a renovated 19th-century mansion and its former stable and servants' quarters, surrounded by two and a half hectares of lush greenery just five minutes from the centre of Mytilene.   The picturesque city of Mytilene offers a wealth of neoclassical buildings and historical monuments such as the Enetic Castle, Terriade Museum and Theofilos Museum. All rooms come with en suite bathroom, air-conditioning, free wireless internet access and handy refrigerators, while self-catered suites and apartments also offer kitchenettes and balconies overlooking the Aegean Sea or the hotel's gardens and sparkling saltwater pool.   Some rooms are set in the hotel's more modern annex.   Guests can wake up to a traditional, healthy Greek breakfast in the breakfast room, and after a full day of exploring the island come back to an expertly mixed cocktail at the poolside bar.
