Εξαιρετική φιλοξενία ..εξαιρετική τοποθεσια στην καρδιά της Ερμούπολης ..όλα ήταν υπέροχα ..μείναμε πολύ ευχαριστημένοι ..εάν επισκεφτούμε ξανά το νησί θα επιλέξουμε πάλι τη Villa Maria!!

  While we visited Syros in the “off-season” in December, Kostas ensured we had a wonderful experience with his excellent hospitality including meeting us after we arrived by ferry. His local... read more tips were essential and all excellent - from restaurants to local sites to see. As others have mentioned the location is ideal - close to the town square but quiet on a pedestrian only street. The view from the rooftop terrace was wonderful and relaxing as well. We look forward to coming back during the spring/summer.

  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.

  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.

  Very nice room with amazing view on the port from the balcony !

  Syros was our second stop on our island hopping journey and it was perfect to offset everything of Mykonos. Villa Maria was a beautifully up kept building with a lot... read more of "old work charm" just like the description says. Kostas was awesome and provided easy directions for meeting him when we arrived off of our ferry. He gives great recommendations for foods and activities as well! It does require a little jaunt up a few flights of stairs through the town but once there it's a perfect getaway.

  The apartment was perfect for our group of four. It was cute and clean and the roof terrace was perfect for enjoying a glass of wine in the evenings. We... read more only stayed two nights but would have liked to stay longer and tried Elisa’s cooking class. There are a lot of stairs up to the apartment and we had large suitcases but we made it happen with a little teamwork and help from Kostas. He gave us some great tips for exploring the town. I would absolutely recommend!

  Kostas was extremely kind and generous. When we arrived he sat downstairs with us and gave us a thorough overview of local restaurants, bars, and beaches both in Ermoupoli and... read more around the island. He also let us know about the international film festival happening at the time which we had a great time at.

The house was beautiful and clean with two lovely balconies overlooking the city. There was also a shared courtyard which was beautiful. The courtyard also came with a sweet kitty which we loved spending time with.

Overall, a great experience. We would definitely return!

  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!

  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.

  This was the perfect place to enjoy the beauty of a truly spectacular Greek island, complete with great people and crystal clear waters just a short walk away from this... read more home. Kostas was always around to answer questions and make sure we were comfortable. The kitchen was a great place to prepare meals as it had every tool you could ever need. Also a very short walk from the port, perfect for day trips and just very convenient distance from the port to the home. Kostas met us in the town square so we had no problems locating the home! Great stay I hope to come back.

  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.
