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.

I was really impressed with the island of Syros and all that it had to offer. Kostas’s apartment is very nice and comfortable, with a nice view of... read more the sea. Plenty of room to do relax. Kostas was a delightfully nice host, kind, considerate and very knowledgeable about the island. It was a pleasure staying here.

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.

Ευχαριστούμε θα έρθουμε πάλι Loukia&Matthias

Love, love, loved this place and it’s owners. It was a pure delight to stay with them. The view was perfect! The bed was very comfortable. ... read more Lots of personal touches each day, like local candy or fresh fruit to sample in the kitchenette. 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!!

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.

A very nice old traditional decorated restored villa in a very nice neighbourhood just north of Ermoupolis’ center. Kostas was very friendly and very helpful with tips for places to... read more visit and where to eat.
Water pressure could be a little better and the place a bit cleaner altogether.
Certainly value for money and a great experience.
Thank you Kostas !
