Aeolian Gaea Hotel- MJT

Just back from a week in Lesbos, staying at the Aeolian Gaea Hotel. The hotel is set about 1 km outside of Skala Kallonis, and takes approximately 20 minutes to walk into the village at a leisurely pace. The hotel is lovely. Great sized rooms, super comfy, enormous beds with plenty of extra pillows if needed, air conditioned and a powerful shower with lots of hot water in the en-suite. Outside, the pool is of a good size, and a perfect way to cool off from the intense heat (30+degrees when we were there). There are plenty of sunbeds and parasols available, and there was enough space to manoeuvre them around to ensure optimum positioning throughout the day (sun or shade dependent on your preference), without it ever feeling overcrowded around the pool. There was a great selection of lunch dishes, with some incredible salads , most of the ingredients were from the hotel garden and just delicious! Special mention must go to George and Chris who are the friendliest hosts. They manage to find the perfect balance between being ever present but unobtrusive, and are genuinely interested in ensuring your stay is as good as possible. We specifically wanted a small, quiet hotel where we could really relax, and Aeolian Gaea surpassed our expectations on that front. Thanks again to George, Chris and all the staff for such a lovely stay!

​We spent 7 days as a family at the Aeolian Gaea Hotel in Scala Kalloni and our overall experience was absolutely positive. The area is quiet, giving you a feeling of real relaxation, but at the same time very close to the beach, local tavernas, and shops. Our room was spacious, bright, and comfortable for the whole family. The cleanliness was daily and meticulous, which we particularly appreciated. ​The pool area was clean and safe for small children. The staff was extremely kind, smiling, and always willing to serve us or suggest places for food and excursions on the island. ​The breakfast had good variety with fresh, local products, giving us the best energy to start our day. ​Overall, it was an excellent choice for a family vacation that combined comfort, warm hospitality, and tranquility. We would choose it again without a second thought!

Our 4th year in a row of staying at this idyllic hotel so that should tell you something. It’s really like coming home to family from the minute you arrive until the minute you’re waved off on your way back to the airport, you are made to feel like family. If you want a quiet and peaceful location this is perfect. Surrounded by nature with the sound of the birds and cicadas. If you like loud music around the pool this is definitely NOT the place for you. In the morning we’d sit on our balcony with a cup of tea and watch the birds gather on the telegraph wires and then in the evening enjoy a glass of wine and beer and watch the bats flying around. Everything spotlessly clean as always, the ladies who do the rooms and chap who tend to the gardens and maintenance are amazing. Always a smile and a cheery Kalimera. It’s only a 10/15 minute walk into the village, either on the newly built footpath on main road or via the newly pedestrianised beach road. Suffice it to say we’ve already booked booked for next year and we only got home yesterday! Thank you George, George and Christos for making it such a memorable holiday yet again! Not forgetting Little George who we spent many happy times playing games in the pool with. Thank you all.
