Semeli Hotel – Mykonos

A very convenient location in Mykonos Town just a stroll away from the hustle and bustle. The good thing is that Semeli has (limited) parking space for your rental car and even a valet service to help you out on this steep hill towards the main road.

It’s less than a 5-minute walk from the nightlife, shopping, and dining that has made Mykonos so famous. The landmark Kato Mili windmills,  Little Venice, Old Port, and even a small beach are accessible within 8 minutes on foot.

Efficient and friendly throughout your whole stay. The fresh-water pool itself is exceptionally large for a city hotel. There’s also a small subterranean fitness centre, and a bigger spa offering assorted detoxes, massages and facials as well as a relaxing Turkish hammam.

We slept in the spacious ‘executive suite pool view’ maisonnette with jacuzzi , 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The terrace is almost adjacent to the pool, separated by a narrow walkway. The doors are completely in Myconian style with beautiful curtains.

64 rooms in total and five rooms are near the reception, the rest is surrounded by the pool or garden with distant seas views for the more elevated ones of the complex.

All units have a balcony or terrace, double glazing (welcome in chilly early spring or autumn), flat-screen TVs and exposed lovely original features like beam ceilings and arches. Superior rooms boast secluded outdoor mini-spa-tubs.

Bathrooms are Philippe Starck-designed, with rain showers and, butler sinks, and naturally lit via translucent panels. Only demerit: the jacuzzi can make some noise during the night, upon request they will turn it off.
