Spectacular experience! Great, great host! The house is very nice, tastefully decorated, the windows are modern with mosquito nets if you want to have them (modern system). The house is... read more prettier than the photos. Kostas, a great host, is dedicated and passionate about what he does, he gave me references to bars, restaurants, events, a complete guide to the city!

  Kostas was excellent throughout: easy to communicate with, fast replying and always accommodating.

The room is up on the hill, so expect some stair climbing , but it is... read more totally worth it and part of the charm. Beautiful views over the city and port from the balcony. Very spacious room, and good facilities overall.

Can recommend and would definitely come back.

  A perfect place to stay in Ermoupoli. The room (pink room) was romantic and beautiful. I stayed alone for a week and loved the space. Corner room with incredible light... read more all day long. Sunrises breathtaking. Great views from the private sunny balcony. Thoughtful decor, fitting of the historic mansion.

The marble bathroom and shower was luxurious and the hot water was great.

The king sized bed was very comfortable and the linens were high quality.

The shared kitchenette was just steps away from the room. I enjoyed making simple meals and it was a very efficient use of space.

A convivial villa with many outdoor spaces with tables and chairs.

The host met me and accompanied me to the villa which was very much appreciated. Great local tips.

I would highly recommend a stay here!!!

La habitación es amplia y las vistas que ofrece son de las que se quedan en la memoria. También dispone de una pequeña cocina de uso común así como de una zona exterior agradable siempre que no haga demasiado calor.

2) Communication and willingness to help

Minus:
1) You need to climb 157 stairs in total to... read more reach the room from the port, so you have to be fit. However, the view totally deserves it.

  Great place to stay in Ermopouli, close to town square and all amenities including port but at the same time being very peaceful and quiet. Great aircon. A comfortable bed... read more and pillows and nice spacious shower room. The host made everything very easy.
Would stay again if in Ermopouli for sure.

  Kostas is really a host who goes above and beyond to make his guests feel at home and welcomed. He took the time, a few times, to help us plan... read more out our daily activities based on what we like to do (swimming, hiking, beaching), and he even gave us tips on where to get the best food on the island. The actual space was just phenomenal, the pictures don’t do it justice. There is AC in the room but it wasn’t needed as the windows bring a glorious cross breeze through the room. The bathroom is big with a lovely mounted shower. And the views are amazing! Both at your own little private balcony and at the roof top. We will absolutely be back to this beautiful island of Syros and without a doubt we will contact Kostas to stay in this lovely home again.

  Our stay at Villa Maria was among one of our very best Airbnb experiences— everything about our stay at Villa Maria was magnificent. The villa itself is comfortable, centrally located... read more close to the port, tons of restaurants, and the swimming area. Our room was beautifully decorated in neoclassical style, true to Syros’ history, and equipped with a private balcony and an AC, which was much appreciated during the few hot days of our stay. Kostas was super generous with his time and gave us excellent recommendations and a map of places to eat and things to do/see while on Syros. We also paid extra for Elisa’s breakfast basket—- packed with her homemade goodies and thoroughly enjoyed them all (they’re delicious!) on the beautiful rooftop terrace overlooking the Aegean. We’re already fantasizing about our return to Villa Maria—- a magical place on an equally magical island. By far the highlight of our Cyclades trip, much more than Mykonos or Santorini.

  Spent 4 days with 6 friends, amazing hosts. Living in a house like this is an experience on its own. Plus it is located in the most convenient spot possible.... read more Would recommend 11/10. Thank you Elisa & kostas!

  What I loved..... a gorgeous mansion, ginormous bed, fresh breeze through the French doors and windows, walkable to everything, gorgeous places to swim! I love this town and of course... read more Kostas beautiful home!

  Villa Maria is a wonderful space right next to the center of Syros. An absolutely beautiful island, you can expect to find amazingly authentic experiences at incredibly reasonable prices, with... read more many beaches, restaurants, shops, and cafes. The classical architecture is quite beautiful, and the Villa itself has a lovely courtyard and roof for looking out into the bay and up to Ano Syros. If you are looking for a wonderful central location, this spot is perfect for you as it allows you an easy walk to all you need as well as a great space to relax privately. Kostas provided wonderful recommendations - every place we visited on his recommendation was fantastic. As a clean space with a small kitchenette and beautiful outdoor spaces, it is wonderfully complemented by the authentic beauty of Syros. Look no further and stay here!

  I don't think I've ever been so well cared for by a host (of any capacity) in my entire life. Kostas is not only generous and hospitable, but a truly... read more wonderful human being who really cares about the people who stay here. He waited patiently for me at the square when I was 30 minutes late getting off the ferry, and carried my luggage up the many, many stairs to Villa Maria (if you aren't a fan of stairs, this is unfortunately not the place for you!). He took the time that first evening to point out some places he recommended I check out on a map of Syros, and went into even more detail the next day. Kostas went above and beyond, and all of the rooms in this building are absolutely beautiful and well cared for. Syros is a magical island not to be missed, and Kostas & his tending of the Villa Maria made my experience unforgettable.
