My wife and I spent 4 night at the Varos Village hotel. A very relaxing location. You need a car to make the most of the island, but if you want tranquility and to relax then this is the place. The Greek breakfast was wonderful - coffee the old-fashioned way and delicious home-made cakes and sweets as well as cheeses etc. The staff were all very friendly and we enjoyed the restaurant. I recommend without reservation.

“Fabulous Hotel”

One of the very best hotels I have stayed in around the world!! I had a suite and it was so lovely with a patio that overlooked a stunning view across the water and surrounding countryside.

Don't go to Lefkada or other too crowded islands. Go to Lemnos and, particularly, to this wonderful hotel in the middle of the island with easy access to everything But enjoying the quiet evenings; and, at the same time, helping to recover the traditions of the semiabandoned village. You can choose to be a tourist that predates and competes with other millions in Mykonos or too crowded destinations or to be more than welcomed in less popular but wonderful areas. We've been 10 summers in Greece, each one different, and we can say Lemnos and Varos were the best one for families and prices! Thanks, Varos team, specially to Dimitris and Ioanna who explained everything in detail and provided the warmest welcome.

“This is not a 5 star hotel”

This was not what we were expecting. We thought this hotel would be a bit of luxury on a ‘non-touristy’ island but it did not meet our expectations.

This was not what we were expecting. We thought this hotel would be a bit of luxury on a ‘non-touristy’ island but it did not meet our expectations. With check in, after catching a ferry to the island, we were not offered a welcome drink despite it being a very hot day in Lemnos. We were taken to our room to see that it actually wasn’t quite ready yet as housekeeping were still tidying it up, and so told to go and have a drink at the restaurant. The restaurant at the hotel is Elia. There is not much online about it because it’s basically a pool bar/restaurant and the same place where the breakfast buffet is. The lunch we had there on arrival was pretty ordinary (hence the only time we ate there as we avoided it at all costs). The fried cheese wasn’t even piping hot, it was luke warm. We had to wait a long time to be served despite no one else being there for lunch. The pool area was nice, the pool water comes from a thermal spring. Not worth staying here for the pool water though. The room was clean (apart from the window sill behind the bed- very dusty!) and spacious. We stayed in one of the towers. Unfortunately not a lot of natural light so it’s not a place to ‘hang out’ in. We slept well as it was quiet. We asked for a kettle and iron and these were provided with a smile. Toiletries were not topped up for days and there was no acknowledgment that we were staying here for a week. Breakfast was lovely - a good variety even for a vegetarian, and Greek style. Breakfast was supposed to start at 8am but ran late the couple of days we had to get an earlier breakfast as we had plans that morning. The staff were friendly however not necessarily helpful. I think this may have been a language barrier- they would smile and say they were going to book us a taxi for that night, or a transfer to the airport early morning however when we went to confirm this with another staff member this wasn’t actually done! Staying here we needed to drive everywhere. Even to buy water or go out for a meal. The town next to the hotel only has houses. I would have preferred to stay in Myrina to be able to take a walk after dinner or walk to the beach. I was surprised by the lack of suitable recommendations for around the island too. We asked about wineries and were provided with a number to call with ‘I’m not sure they do tastings over the summer’. With the one time we asked reception to book a taxi - it was not a reputable driver. He didn’t wear a seat belt, knew not one word of English, his taxi had a larger crack in the windscreen and the seats were torn. He also drove very unsafely and we were charged 20 euro for the 5km ride! And this was a taxi ordered by the hotel! We were in shock!! The pictures online look a lot better than what it actually is and I’m surprised the recent reviews are very positive! However, staying in other 5 star hotels, and the amount they charge here per night, our expectations were not met and we would not recommend to stay here.
