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.

Kostas and Elisa’s place was fantastic. The villa is close to town, with a beautiful view of the water. We opted for Elisa’s breakfast basket, which we ate outside on... read more the patio with Greek coffee and homemade breads and jams overlooking the town of Ermopolis. A lovely morning!
The room was bright and clean and very comfortable. And Kostas and Elisa were welcoming, friendly and full of tips on what to do on the island of Syros.
Overall great stay at Villa Maria.

Appartamento in posizione perfetta a pochi passi da piazza Miaouli. La scalinata per raggiungerlo non lo rende adattto a chi ha problemi di deambulazione. Per il resto solo note... read more positive. Appartamento molto bello con il "plus" del terrazzino privato sul tetto con vista mare. Accoglienza perfetta e ci sente a casa propria. Avevamo il traghetto il pomeriggio e ci hanno consentito il check out ritardato. Consigliatissimo.

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.

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.
