Villa Maria is a listed 19th century neo-classical mansion. Built by a local factory owner in 1873 at the height of Ermoupolis’ prosperity, it is a fine example of the architecture of the period. In restoring it we have preserved all the original features —wooden floors and ceilings, marble bathrooms, decorative mouldings— and used antique furniture to give it a comfortable but authentic feel.

Villa Maria was my first Airbnb experience and I feel it has certainly set the bar high! Kostas was super welcoming as soon as we arrived. He has provided a... read more beautiful environment for guests to stay in and offered lots of useful insight to the surrounding area. Everything about Villa Maria I felt was clean, safe, well organized, charming, perfect place 🙂 I hope to return again! Thank you!

This space is amazing and very cozy. Expect to get a stair climbing workout on your commute to and from the villa, however, it is entirely worth it. You will... read more certainly enjoy your stay!

Kostas is a great host! He showed us all of the great places in Syros, especially kastri a women's run cafeteria with amazing cheap food! He was so friendly and... read more helpful, even walking us down to the pharmacy when we jumped on sea urchins at the beach :(. If you are trying to decide whether or not to stay here I highly recommend it. It was clean, comfortable, and had an amazing view from the rooftop. Would happily stay there again!

The view from the balcony was beautiful. The bed very comfortable and the room and bathroom very clean. There are many steps to go up to the apartment so that... read more might be something to consider if you have mobility issues. Kosta helped with my luggage and that was very appreciated.Communication with Kosta was amazing, always responsive and gave us great recommendations on places to eat and visit. Ordering breakfast (at an extra cost) was an option we didn’t realize until we arrived and we loved it. Thank you.

We stayed seven people here for several days and nights. A nice and relaxing place with a home away from home warm feeling. Very friendly and kind hosts. Though, if... read more you have problems to walk on stairs, look for something else. This is in an area where you need to walk many stairs. No possibility to take a car here. However, if you don’t mind, this is very nice with an modern old feeling.

We (4 friends) really enjoyed our 1 week stay in the spacious big house in Villa Maria. The house is very athmospheric and most of the furniture is historic and... read more was found in the house, was refurbished and put in a new setting. It is old world charm with modern comfort and matches perfectly to a relaxed holiday. 3 different terraces on different levels can host dinners, breakfasts and drinks and even if there are different parties staying, (there are 3 more studios on site), there is always a secluded place. Kostas gives good recommendations for places to go and restaurants etc. One should take advantage of it. What we liked about Syros is, that it is not just a touristic ghetto but also a charming little town with a normal local live going on with all kinds of shops, a university and schools .... and still you walk 5 minutes to dive into the sea and have great tavernas, restaurants, cafes and bars in walking distance.

Kosta’s quick responses and local tips make staying in this place a great example of what a super host means. The cooking area is amazing but our stay was short... read more so this was under utilized. The outdoor terrace was beautiful but the apartment itself had no views. Please know that you must walk lots of steps from town. But you will be rewarded with a beautiful quiet apartment
