Gelos House

Had the most wonderful time in Mykonos and Gelos House. We had room 1 which is in the pool area (overlooking the pool and on ground level), with its own private space for a sun lounger - it also has its own outside dining area. Apartment on two floors is very nicely decorated, recently refurbished and very clean - twin room and private bathroom (shower) downstairs and double room with private bathroom (shower) on the ground floor. Very spacious (I believe the sofa is a sofa bed), light and airy - kitchenette with fridge, kettle, toaster & twin hob. The hosts, Katerina & Nicholas are incredibly welcoming and helpful (full of advice about what to see and where to go and anything else you need). Special shout-out to the lovely & very accommodating Andreas who mans the bar by the pool (where you can get lunch - delicious Greek salad for me and pizza for my son) - cocktails, beer, coffee etc (it is closed in the evening). There is an ironing board and iron and hairdryers in each bathroom. Gelos House is situated a 4/5 minute walk from Ornos beach, where there are restaurants and bars (sun loungers available to rent for 50 euros for the day for 2 with umbrella - it gets busy & is fun for people watching). Mykonos Town is approx 12 minutes by bus, which you can catch outside Gelos House - on the whole the bus service is good but doesn't run to a timetable particularly (supposed to be on the hour every half hour - just go when you're ready) - we had one day where we couldn't get on 2 buses as they were full and we ended up walking along the coast route to Mykonos Town, which took us 25 minutes (the road is relatively quiet from traffic) - there's always a bus on the way back from Mykonos Town to Ornos). We had a car for 3 days to see the rest of island which is stunningly beautiful. Would definitely recommend Gelos House to anyone planning a stay in Mykonos and would stay here again in a heartbeat.
