A warm, hospitable family of owners make this budget-friendly hotel an excellent pick for a modest stay outside major cities. The 15-minute walk along a busy, narrow road into Mykonos is harrowing to some, and popular beaches require a drive, so a car is recommended. Whitewashed walls with blue trim and natural materials like stone and wood give the hotel a traditional Greek feel. The 27 rooms are clean with minimal decor, but they do have flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and furnished outdoor spaces. A free Greek breakfast on a pleasant patio and a lovely pool offer extra comforts. For a livelier atmosphere, consider Sofia Village, a value property that attracts visitors seeking Mykonos’ nightlife.

Scene
Hospitable owners add charm and warmth to this modest hotel.
Vienoula’s Garden is a simple hotel where guests rave about the staff and family of owners, who go out of their way to create a welcoming, friendly environment. Decor is an appealing, traditional Greek style with whitewashed walls, stone pillars, and exposed wood beams. In the lobby, the front desk, railings, bar, and furniture are also made of wood, making for a warm, cozy atmosphere. Outside, stone patios and open spaces are beautified with some tall bushes, flowering plants, and colorful potted flowers. Overall, the simple surroundings and hospitable owners make this a great option for couples looking for a no-frills base for exploring the island, though transportation is recommended.
Location
Quiet spot, a 15-minute walk to Mykonos or the beach
Vienoula’s Garden is on the western side of Mykonos, a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. It is just south of the coastal town of Mykonos, in a quiet area surrounded by other hotels. It is a 15-minute walk from a small, pebbly beach, or a five-minute drive will bring guests to a more popular beach with golden sand and calm waters, plus sunbeds for rent. It is a 15-minute walk -- along a narrow road without sidewalks -- to reach Mykonos, a traditional Greek town with plenty of restaurants and shops. A 20-minute walk through town, or a five-minute drive, leads to the harbor area and Mykonos’ Little Venice, a picturesque area. It is a four-minute drive to view some of the iconic and historic windmills for which the town is known. A public bus stops within a five-minute walk of the hotel, and provides service into town. Mykonos Island National Airport is a six-minute drive from the hotel, and Mykonos Port is a 10-minute drive away.
Rooms
Simple, clean rooms with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and safes for a fee
Rooms are simple, with basic wood furniture and linens, but all are clean and well-kept. They can fit up to three single beds, and include a small table with a chair, mirror, and hairdryer. Wood furniture against white walls and tile floors looks bland, but a couple of paintings showcasing island life add splashes of color. All rooms have a flat-screen satellite TV, mini-fridge, and a safe that requires a fee. Furnished balconies either have a pool view or look out on a small garden and the surrounding area, with some offering distant sea views. Bathrooms are similarly straightforward, with either a walled shower stall or a curtained shower/tub combo. Free soap and shampoo are provided.
Features
A simple, free breakfast, plus a bar and a pleasant pool area
This hotel is light on extra features, but the bar and pool are nice spots to relax. Next to the lobby bar, there’s a small breakfast area serving a limited buffet of typical Greek choices like bread, yogurt, and pastries. There’s also seating on a pleasant patio with stone floors, and a walled section shaded by a thatched roof. The pool is a good size for the hotel, with a few padded loungers -- some under umbrellas. A short stone wall surrounds the area, and a few large vases -- some of which double as planters -- decorate the area. Wi-Fi is free in the lobby, but not available everywhere.
