Pietra E Mare

We stayed in this hotel for 7 nights. Very small and quiet. Hotel manager and staff always available to help for every need or information. Best place, near a wonderful beach and with a astonishing view of the bay. The best chef we have encountered in the grecian islands. No rush for swimming pool or any other facility.

This place overlooks Kalo Livadi beach. Softer sand than Super Paradise Beach. The location is 20 minutes away from anything but the hotel does arrange transport to town or another beach. Their restaurant menu is limited but food is delicious. There are 2 places on the beach to get food and rent lounges. 30 euros for 2 beds, 3rd row from waters edge. The walk downhill is 5 minutes to the beach. The staff were great, but there was no poolside attendant. The call buttons on the lounge beds did not work so you had to walk up to the lobby and find someone. The last night was amazing, they brought in a saxophone player for the outside bar lounge. The place could use some maintenance but overall a very nice visit. A nice place to get away from busy tourist spots elsewhere on the island.

Situated in one of the most beautiful beaches in Mykonos. Amazing view. Great service. Greatly decorated. Really clean. Helpful and attentive staff. 20 minutes from downtown. 20 minutes from airport. At the same beach as famous restaurant SoliMare. Also new restaurant Nemo. Five minutes for Spilia, the Restaurant with THE BEST food in Mykonos .

Stayed with my wife for a week in July 17 after booking through Thomson. Hotel itself is great; facilities all what you expect from a boutique hotel with only 30 rooms. We were upgraded to a larger room as we were celebrating our first wedding anniversary, which was a nice touch that we really appreciated. Staff are some of the best we have ever experienced on our travels. Always willing to help, smiling and friendly. Special mention should go to the cleaning staff, who are the hardest working we have ever met. Room cleaned twice a day with fresh towels and linen, as well as complementary bottles of water, which was appreciated in the Greek heat! Pool area is nice, although the pool is cold and not protected from the wind, so you struggle to lie there for a long period of time in the elements. Not sure if more can be done to combat the wind or maybe heat the pool a little? What we felt let the hotel down a little was the quality of breakfast. For the price we paid, we had expected a little more. The buffet is very basic and cooked food can be ordered from your waiter fresh. But there was a real lack of freshness in the buffet - no fruit at all unless you order it from the menu. I realise it is a small hotel, but we have been to similar sized hotels in the past and had a much better choice. Cereal and bread can only get you so far! The wifi was also a little intermittent - not a big issue, but with a real lack of English channels in the room, we had hoped to at least stream some music while getting ready to go out. This wasn't possible. The location of the hotel is also a bit of a pain if you want to get out and about. A taxi is €30 each way into Mykonos Town, the hotel shuttle is €10 per person (I thought the hotel could look into a free shuttle at certain times of the day) and the local bus is €2.30 each, but only goes to and from the beach three times a day. There is another bus that stops up on the main road, but requires a 20-minute walk down an unlit road. The beach itself is great - sea is a little cold but the sand is lovely and white. We spent a lot of time on the sunbeds at Nemo due to the wind making it impossible to lie on the sand. Two sunbeds on the inner rows are €30 for a pair plus parasol. Front two rows priced at €50. It is expensive, but you do get your money's worth if you spend the whole day there. Food and drinks can be ordered to your beds at a reasonable price, perhaps a little high but keeps with the general cost theme in Mykonos. We found the hotel food prices to be a little high for what you paid. For example, the salads at the hotel were very small and lacklustre compared to cheaper, better salads elsewhere on the island. We opted for the bus into town most nights for our evening meal. That said, we did enjoy our two meals at the hotel. Recommend the fish and risotto! Also be warned of the big hill down to the beach. My pregnant wife struggled a little with this and it was not mentioned when we booked with Thomson (not the fault of the hotel). Travellers in a similar situation or with a disability will struggle. All in all, a nice holiday, despite the crazy wind we had to contend with - they don't call it the island of wind for no reason! The island is expensive to do anything, but we had a nice time. Hope you do as well!

Stayed at the hotel for 3 nights at the start of my honeymoon last month and couldn't have been happier. The room was very spacious and had a loft for the bed. The service was exceptional. We came in around 8pm and were welcomed with a fruity lemonade which was delicious. Ordered room service twice and the food was outstanding. The people were so warm and welcoming everywhere we went. Our beach day ended up being a rain day so we didn't get to experience the beach or pool while there but both looked well maintained and relaxing. It was only a 20-25 minute ride into the main town. The hotel has a shuttle for 20 Euros to take you there, which was convenient. If we are ever back in Greece we will definitely visit this hotel again!!
