リダ メアリー(Lida Mary)

We stayed at the Lida Mary in October 2023 in the magical village of Mesta on the Island of Xios, Greece. This place is not to be missed. It's a walled village with winding stone walkways and friendly people. The owner of Lida Mary, Tasos, really made our trip. He recommended places to visit, arranged our rides and was always available for questions. He went out of his way to make our trip even more special. He suggested that we take a ride to the nearby village of Pyrgi and visit the Mastic Museum. We did this for a day trip and would recommend it if you have the time. Pyrgi is larger than Mesta with more shops and interesting buildings and churches to visit. The museum was more interesting that I anticipated and has much of the history of the mastic trees on Xios. I doubt we would have visited either if not for Tasos' recommendation. The rooms in the Lida Mary are charming, clean and just off the central square. We stayed in the Koukouvaya Suite, which we loved. It was spacious, clean and quiet with a nice outdoor sitting area. Others in our party stayed in the Livadi Tzaki and Megalo Livadi suites, which share an outdoor deck and are nice for a small group sharing the space. They have steep stairs for access, if stairs are a concern. Tasos was right there though to help anyone with their bags. Thank you, Tasos for a wonderful stay. We would love to return to Mesta!

The suite called Megalo Livadi where I stayed is absolutely great! Especially the view to the square and the big interior yard are magnificent. Everything was in order and the owner was extremely helpful! Mesta is a great castle village but car is needed. Thanks Tasos for helping this great trip !

I have what I expected: Hospitality , friendship , clean room : perfect!Thank you Lida Mary!Thank you Tasos!I I"ll be back for sure!!!! Great to be in Mesta!!! Verry happy to choose Lida Mary for staying!

Nice place to stay

Last August we stayed in LidaMary. Was one of the best holiday periods. The location is incredible, it’s like you live in another century. The rooms are very cozy and atmospheric the same time.Tasos who is the manager of this hotel complex is more than professional and will help you with any question, he will recommend you the best places to explore, the best places for food/drinks and swimming. Following the plan he structured for us we got the most completed taste not only of Mesta village and the areas around but also of the whole island. We really hope to come back soon! Chios is a wonderful island!

Mesta is a remarkable place - its like stepping back in time, and it feels very secret and special. Tasos, the host, is a remarkable young man. His English is excellent, which is a great bonus, he goes out of his way to be helpful and he can give great insight into the area. His taste is impeccable and he has renovated the rooms at Lida Mary perfectly - they are not large or flashy but every little detail is perfect from the generous shower to the soft linen sheets and the shocking-pink bed-cover. It is a great blessing for Mesta that there are people like him who are prepared to put the time and money and energy into preserving the wonderful buildings for posterity in such an authentic yet fit-for-21st century way. While you are there, do not hesitate to eat at Mesaionas just outside the village walls.

Lida Mary is an excellent hotel in Mesta (a picturesque medieval village) in the beatiful island of Chios. We stayed in two different rooms both nice. clean and comfortable but the best feature of the hotel is the young owner Tasos who is extremely helpful and wiling keen to share his knowledge of the island to help you make the best of your holiday. Additionally the island itself is well worth a visit. I have been to approx 25 Greek islands and this, which I did not know until now, has become one of my favourites

Tasos, the host, is very professional, polite and helpful and provides you with all the information you may need! The traditional Kismet room exceeded our expectations! It is a very clean and uniquely decorated residence in a lovely location Totally recommend it for your stay while you are in the beautiful Chios island!

Ένα ξενοδοχείο έκπληξη. Ένα χωριό που όσα κι αν έχεις ακούσει είναι λίγα. Τα δωμάτια πέτρινα όπως όλο το χωριό , ρομαντικά, με λίγα μοντέρνα twist, πεντακάθαρα και άνετα. Ο Τάσος είναι ο φίλος σου που σε περίμενε στο χωριό του να σε φιλοξενήσει. Έτσι σε βλέπει έτσι νιώθεις. Είναι εκεί με ένα χαμόγελο, για να στα δείξει όλα. Αξίζει
