Lindos Horizon Studios

Lindos Horizon Studios details

Up in the hills above Lindos, this rural retreat comes with a vantage point that would make most hotels olive green with envy.

From its hillside perch, the Lindos Horizon Studios offers up great views across Lindos village towards the sea. And its out-of-the-way location means there’s little more than goat bells and the clip-clop of donkeys’ hooves to distract you from your peace and quiet. If you do fancy livening things up a bit though, Lindos is just a 15-minute walk downhill and a taxi home costs about four euros.

Once you’ve adjusted to the calm vibe, the first thing you’ll notice is the pool. It’s a roomy oblong affair perfect for serious swimming or just a quick dip. It’s set into a curved sun terrace that comes with comfy blue sunloungers and cream umbrellas. What’s more, there’s a pool bar out here that serves drinks, snacks and great Greek salads during the day. And if you’ve forgotten to pack your holiday read, the pool bar comes with its very own mini library – a bookshelf piled high with paperbacks.

Step inside, meanwhile, and you’ll find generous-sized rooms decorated in neutral colour schemes. They’re kitted out with blond wood furniture and all have a balcony or terrace. And if you’re travelling in a group of four, you’ll get a split-level, open-plan maisonette to call your own.
