Our take
Loriet scores 8.6 from more than 1,500 reviews, a solid record for a hotel of character on Lesvos. It combines a renovated 18th-century mansion and a traditional cottage in large grounds with century-old pines, right on Varia Beach. Rooms have kitchenettes and balconies facing the sea or the gardens, and the seawater pool is a pleasant alternative to the beach. I would book it for guests who value setting and space over a city-centre address.
- ✓Choose a room with a sea view balcony to fully appreciate the Aegean vistas and enjoy striking sunrises.
- ✓Take advantage of the self-catering facilities for some meals, especially if you're traveling with family.
- ✓Explore the hotel's extensive gardens; they are a beautiful spot for a leisurely stroll or an afternoon read.

Why guests love itLoriet is a four-star hotel on Varia Beach near Mytilini, set in about 7,000 square metres of grounds with old pine trees around a renovated 18th-century mansion and a traditional cottage. Families get space: rooms are air-conditioned, with kitchenettes for simple meals and balconies over the Aegean or the gardens. Children can swim in the seawater pool or at the beach. A Greek breakfast starts the day. I would choose it for a family stay with room to breathe on Lesvos.
