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 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!

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.

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!
