Authentic accommodation! Fantastic views and a truly unique lodging; authentic to the atmosphere and magic of the place. It really reminds to Greek Island living, stone build and painted with traditional method “patiti”. It is traditional and modern at the same time. You can realize that is recently renovated with taste, nice decoration, and beautiful lights. It is even better than the pictures. Well equipped for long stays and charming carefree breakfasts admiring majestic views. The place is spacious. It has beds for 7 people but I think that fits comfortable for 4. If you are a bit claustrophobic, don't choose the main bedroom because it has no windows (was a cave and transformed to a bedroom with a stone king bed.).
From the kitchen window you'll find an amazing view to the sea. The house is equipped with a good (very good) coffee machine and a milk shaker, so we really enjoyed our breakfast looking to the sea!
The best thing is the terrace/rooftop, with a STUNNING sea/city view, tables, chairs and sun-beds. We spent a lot of relaxing time there. Be aware that the entrance to the terrace is outside from the house and shared with the other flat.
The neighborhood is super quite and relaxing, with cute houses and all around and marble streets, enchanting!
A negative point is the street stairs; the view comes with a downside.
Vaporia Beach/Asteria (stunning place to swim and views to the city) is about 200 or so steep stairs away, and the town (with the supermarkets and stores) about a 15 minute roundabout walk through the maze like corridors of the island. Thankfully there’s a small market with essentials a block or so from the house. Be aware of the stairs if you have mobility issues. The house isn’t on the main street or the road taxis can traverse through, so you’ll have to lug your bags down of stone stairs. Take into account that Google Maps don't do very accurate directions in Syros. You have to tell the taxi to stop in the parking between “Veranda Syros” and the school.
The host was very helpful all the time we needed something. Good communication.
Highly recommend place, really laid back and incredibly cute, efficient and enchanting. We spent an entirely month in Syros and we'll forever have it into our hearts.
