She Mykonos Boutique Hotel

The three most important things in real estate? LOCATION, LOCATION and LOCATION. Well, the SHE Boutique Hotel and Residences in Mykonos has that, but it also has CHARM, CHARM and CHARM. 32 rooms and apartments, many with balconies or small patios, and a pool overlooking the Aegean Sea from high above the town of Mykonos create a friendly little community of staff and guests. Every room is different with beamed ceilings and some like ours even with small kitchens and a second loft bedroom. Stella and Iris (they look like sisters) at the front desk, Fanis in the restaurant and the entire staff in this impossibly chic and retro oasis create a je ne sais quoi vibe that is hard to find... and hard to forget. Breakfast is included and we're not talking about some assembly line all-you-can buffet. Pick your breakfast from a menu and it is promptly served to you by one of the young and attractive staff members. And breakfast is served until 11am... helpful since it's hard to leave these comfortable, spotlessly clean rooms with beds that won't let you go. The rooms have big, new TVs but we never turned it on once... we can watch TV at home. Oh, the air conditioning works well although the rooms stay fairly cool because of the heavy cement and stucco walls and the breeze. We were there in September and I know it gets hotter in the middle of the summer so the AC can be a big plus. The bathrooms are a little small but do the job. This is not a Holiday Inn or a Hilton with cavernous bathrooms and zero ambiance! Hey, many of these Greek Islands like Mykonos have their largest cities with the same name. Confusing? Not really. Think of New York, New York. Matoyanni Street, the spine of Mykonos Town, is five minutes down steep and beautiful cobblestone walk way. Most buildings are stucco white with blue shutters, doors and trim. Allow 10 minutes to come up, especially if you're carrying something like the Backgammon Board we bought that was handcrafted by Manopoulos right in Greece. You will walk forever in this beautiful and quaint village with shops, bars and restaurants for all tastes and budgets. Visit Little Venice which is on the waterfront and has a special feel to it. Restaurants and bars in Mykonos generally are happy for you to play backgammon (ask first, of course) unlike some places in other locations... We rented an ATV and visited Paradise, Super Paradise and some other nearby beaches, which all rented chaise lounges, had nice restaurants and dancing to loud trendy music. You can park your ATV or scooter right at the hotel. There is bus service to Paradise Beach and it's near the town, so many young people go there. We preferred Super Paradise beach about 10 minutes away by vehicle although it is next door to Paradise Beach. We drove to the other side of the island -- nothing that special --but recommend staying closer to Mykonos. Scorpios Mykonos is an overpriced and somewhat pretentious beach club near Paradise Beach that fits in wit

We were met immediately by Stella. She is one of the desk clerks. She made check in very easy. She assisted us with our bags. Our room was very hip, well appointed and super clean. The view of the small boat harbor and sunsets was superb. Our included breakfasts were made to order and delicious. The shower was a little small… but there was plenty of hot water and towels. We did made our early coffee with our own Nescafé purchased in town. Our room had a very nice hot water heating pot and a fridge. The hotel is up the hill and it’s a fun walk down the whitewashed steps into town with shopping and restaurants. The hotel helped us secure all the ground transportation. We would stay here again and do recommend for others.

I really love the design of the hotel. The staff was very friendly. The breakfast was very tasty as it as it was a la card so we had to pre select what would you like to had for the next day. The room was clean and very comfortable.

What an amazing hotel. Gorgeous pool overlooking Mykonos town and Little Venice. You pre-order your desired breakfast for the am, and it’s proper breakfast, not continental. Hotel is Cycladic but chic, 1 min walk into center of Mykonos town. Hotel provides lux Molton Brown toiletries and the same for furnishings. Chic, but not yet pretentious. Convenient to all, but quiet enough to be charming. When you arrive the beautiful Stella, assists you in all you need and from the moment she smiles, you feel at home.

What a beautiful hotel in a super location, with stunning views and on the edge of the center of Mykonos town. This makes everything easily accessible and you can find peace at the hotel. The service of the hotel is particularly good, to find and arrange the best day trips. (rental car to go to beautiful beaches and clubs, arranging taxi transport, private boat trip to visit unique beaches from the sea, to swim, snorkel, to visit the archaeological site of Dilos) The rooms and common areas are tastefully decorated and are cleaned daily. And the staff is friendly and helpful.

This was a wonderful hotel. Our hosts Stella and Despina were gracious, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The room was beautifully decorated and thoughtfully designed to make their guests feel welcome, at home and pampered. The breakfasts each morning were unique and delicious. The property was very convenient to town with lots of restaurants, shopping and access to local sites. I would give it a 10/10 and would definitely stay there again.
