High on a hillside on the edge of town, Ostraco Suites is an intimate boutique hotel with 22 rooms, two small wedding chapels, and broad views of the Aegean. The hotel's rooms range from compact to large, though the furnishing's purposeful white patina can't mask some visible wear. All include free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, and premium coffeemakers, and the best suites have outdoor hot tubs on terraces facing the sea. There's an airy restaurant and bar serving organic regional cuisine and a la carte breakfast, along with an outdoor pool, but no spa or fitness center. As an alternative, it's worth comparing the views at the more polished Boheme nearby, which has a similar vibe.

Scene
Typical Cycladic style with modern twists, a solid bet for couples
Housed in traditional white Cycladic buildings overlooking the Aegean Sea, this boutique hotel caters to romantic couples with its calm atmosphere and two whitewashed wedding chapels. It's a seasonal hotel that gets busy in summer, when the road it's on also gets crowded with traffic during the day (a major roundabout leading to the airport is just down the street). Guests are met with welcome drinks to ward off the heat and allowed to settle into the sanctuary of the sheltered pool courtyard with its picturesque town views and posh modern loungers. This is a popular option for those who don't mind being outside of Mykonos Town's action.
Location
Hillside views on the edge of Mykonos Town, a five-minute drive to town center
The hotel is located along a busy hillside road on the edge of Mykonos Town, near conveniences like a bus stop, bank, and a bike rental place clustered around a roundabout within a few minutes' walk. It would take about 20 minutes to walk into town, and the walk back will be all uphill. Alternatively, it's a five-minute drive to the center of the action, where there's vibrant nightlife and high-end shopping, along with attractions like the Aegean Maritime Museum and the Archaeological Museum of Mykonos. Megali Ammos Beach is a 13-minute walk, while Psarou and Platys Gialos Beaches are both about a 10- to 15-minute drive to the south. Expect a five-minute drive to Mykonos Island National Airport.
Rooms
Large suites with furnished terraces and iPod docks
The 22 individually designed rooms and suites share a broadly traditional style with a contemporary veneer, though they vary in size and decorative accents. A rustic patina is part of the charm on many of the furnishings, contrasting purposefully with bright white walls and floors. All have furnished outdoor terraces with either garden or sea views. Free Wi-Fi comes standard along with flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, iPod docks, high-end coffeemakers, and minibars. The bathrooms have walk-in showers or handmade shower/tub combos. Upgraded suites have separate soaking tubs and some add outdoor hot tubs. There are also bi-level two-bedroom suites with two bathrooms.
Features
Organic restaurant and a la carte breakfast, outdoor bar, pool with town views, and two wedding chapels
The hotel's grounds are carefully designed with the alfresco bar and restaurant arranged around the periphery of the pool courtyard for the best town views and pleasant seating under sail canopies. The restaurant serves organic Greek cuisine and an a la carte breakfast. The pool itself isn't huge, but is surrounded by plenty of lounge seating. There's no spa or fitness center, but there are two airy lounge areas separate from the pool, where guests can book massages on a covered terrace, recline on day beds or a hammock, and play a game of giant chess. For on-site weddings, there are two picturesque little churches where couples can say their vows overlooking the Aegean. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and parking is also free.
