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!

Everything we needed was provided and their hospitality was beyond impressive. We definitely hope to return some day! Kostas met us in town and walked us to our place, they showed us around their villa, and sat with us to share/suggest activities, etc. during our stay. We ordered a delicious breakfast basket homemade by Elisa with home grown ingredients, which we gobbled up the first day. Unfortunately we didn’t have time to arrange a cooking class with her this trip (which she offers)...next time we will absolutely plan ahead and include that in the experience! Wonderful home & hosts to be sure!!

  We had a fantastic Easter break at Villa Maria. A great place and super helpful hosts. We’ll be coming back soon!

  Villa Maria was everything we wished it would be! A rare gem that is centrally located stay (it’s walking distance to everything) as well as an authentic Syros experience (the... read more house was built in the 1800’s). Villa Maria, which was thoughtfully renovated, has the effect of a time machine; it’s filled with vintage furnishings and period decorations. Travelling with another family (4 adults and 3 kids in total) it provided more than adequate space. We’ll fondly remember afternoons spent spread across the beautiful rooms, shutters open to the streaming sunlight with the bougenvalia right outside our window. The rooftop terrace is a particular attraction: it was perfect for breakfasts and a hideaway from the midday sun. Last but not least, Kosta’s hospitality elevated our stay. He was cheerful, friendly and eager to share all that Syros has to offer. A great stay all around!

Kostas and Elisa are the most gracious hosts, helping in any way possible to make your stay enjoyable and comfortable. The view from the top floor is incredible, watching he sunset with a glass of wine in hand is a must. The furnishings and layout of the house is perfect, as well as impeccably clean. Very comfortable beds, and AC for the hot days. We spent breakfasts out on the shared courtyard. The shared kitchen is well equipped for your short stay.
