Lampetos Houses Molyvos
Visitors say
For us was the best place to stay in Molyvos. Amazing view, nice infinity pool, excellent clean rooms, everything was great during our holiday. And a very kind host, thank you Maria!
Houses are clean and there are anything what you need (iron, iron table, washing machine, toast machine etc.) Also Maria is really super house owner. She is so helpful.
About
Lampetos Houses offers self-catering villa accommodation in Molyvos, one of the most celebrated villages on Lesvos. Perched beneath a commanding Byzantine castle, Molyvos is a labyrinth of cobblestone lanes, Ottoman-era stone houses draped in bougainvillea, and sea-facing terraces that look across the Aegean toward the coast of Turkey. Staying in a traditional house here rather than a standard hotel puts guests inside the texture of the village itself, waking to the same views that have drawn artists and travelers to Molyvos for generations.
The Lampetos Houses set guests up with the space and independence of a private residence, making them well suited to couples, families, or small groups who want a home base from which to explore the north of the island. The surrounding area offers easy access to the village's waterfront fish tavernas, the pebble beaches below the castle, and day trips to nearby highlights such as the fossil forest at Sigri or the therapeutic springs at Eftalou. For visitors who want to experience Lesvos at a slower pace — mornings on a private terrace, afternoons in a village kafeneion — this kind of accommodation in Molyvos is an ideal fit.
Before you go
What to expect
From a Lampetos terrace you wake to terracotta rooftops cascading toward the Aegean, with the Turkish coastline visible on clear mornings and the castle keeping watch above. Days here have a natural rhythm: breakfast at home, a walk down to the harbor fish tavernas at lunch, and long afternoons drifting through cobblestone lanes or sitting in a kafeneion with no particular plan. It is the kind of self-directed stay that makes a week feel genuinely unhurried.
Best time to visit
Late May through September suits a stay here best; July and August bring a livelier village, while June and September offer the same warmth with noticeably fewer people.
How to get there
Molyvos is roughly an hour and a half's drive north of Mytilene along the west coast road, passing through olive groves and small villages before the castle-crowned headland comes into view.

The room we stayed in was really clean. It's a quiet place. The beds were very comfortable. Upon arrival, the owner, Maria, provided information about the area. It was a wonderful gesture that she left a gift of tomatoes she grew in her garden on the table in front of our door in the morning. It's one of the few establishments in the area with its own pool. Thank you for everything, Mrs Maria. I hope to see you again.

I and my family had a lovely vacation in lampetos houses, thanks to Maria. Her kindness was marvellous. The facilty was very clean and comfortable. All we had needed, was in our house.

The view of Molivos Castle is legendary. Everything was thought out in great detail. The house was very practical and clean. The kitchenware was sufficient. The pool is a bit small, but the view is beautiful. Maria is a very sweet host. She is extremely attentive and friendly. Thank you for everything ❤️ See you again

It was a fantastic experience. Our host, Maria, was extremely welcoming. This is the perfect location for anyone visiting Molyvos. Plus, the melon-scented soaps Maria made were a thoughtful touch. I highly recommend staying here. I had been putting off writing this review for months, and honestly, delaying it for so long has been bothering me. Thank you Maria

We really liked our stay in Lampetos houses but unfortunately the star rating is not the reality. to make it more accurate and in view of the fact that many of the five stars are home made from the owner Maria we decide to put 1 star to make a partial justice

A truly spectacular place. This is the best place to stay in Molyvos. It's so much better than the pictures. The sunset alone is amazing to watch. The infinity pool is such a nice touch. Maria is the perfect host. I always travel light and these apartments are brand new and even offer a washing machine. Maria, the host even has washing tablets ready for you to do laundry. I love the fact that the hosts are on the property and always available. At night it is quiet and you can see Molyvos light up with a direct view of the Castro. I absolutely loved my stay.

Lampetos Villas is one of the best places to stay in Molyvos area. Ιt is a new complex of villas, all the Villas are fully modern furnished and very clean. The view from the balcony during the night is fantastic. Furthermore, Mrs. Maria is a fantastic host, she provided us with fresh fruits and vegetables from her garden and she even did reflexology therapy to us! I strongly recommend Lampetos Villas for families or group of friends. The location is fantastic (2' from Molyvos center by car).
