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.

The restored historic Villa Maria is a calming and stunningly beautiful place to stay - each moment of the day revealed something unique about the house, situated in gorgeous hill... read more town of Ermoupolis. The views from the house survey the rooftops of the city and offer broad vistas all the way to the port. The house is well stocked and you will find everything thing you need. Elisa prepared a welcome basket of the most heavenly jams and bread. Kostas provided excellent suggestions for where to find the best places to swim and to dine across the island. Tavernas and restaurants offer a range from traditional to modern cuisine--all quite tasty. I've been to several islands and found Syros to be quite unique--especially since Ermoupolis is a 19th century city quite different from the traditional Cycladic town chora. We rented a car to tour the island but I can imagine it is very easy to stay here without one and take taxis to various destinations outside of town. Kostas and Elisa have made Villa Maria one of the most memorable places I've ever visited, for that pleasure I will be always be grateful.

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.

When traveling to a place as beautiful as Syros, Greece, it can be overwhelming as what to do to get the most out of your visit. Kostas and Elisa immediately... read more made us feel so at home and shared incredible recommendations for food and beaches. The rooms are newly renovated and the views are spectacular! A beautiful five minute walk from the town square, the Villa Maria is in the heart of the breathtaking city of Syros. The views from the room and not to mention the roof top that overlooks the harbor, were unmatched. Wither it be a romantic weekend, corporate trip, or family get away, you will not regret choosing this lovey accommodation.
