Reviews and Ratings
Staying in the oldest part of the hotel, nestled among rocks, was a unique experience with its own balcony offering stunning views. The rooms were each uniquely beautiful with original marble rock showers. The service was exceptional, providing helpful tips and inviting me to try a new cocktail. The location in Anos Syros was a hidden gem with a wonderful view of Ermoupoli. The dining experience on the terrace was the cherry on top, offering a variety of fresh and delicious options.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms felt like a cozy home with wonderful personal touches that complemented the unique 1200's rock design. The furnishing was delightful, and the breathtaking views added to the exceptional experience. The breakfast was superb, and the owner Alex, along with the entire staff, were incredibly friendly and welcoming. However, the fact that the room was dug into the rock of the hill, making it truly unique, was an outstanding feature.
Staying at this hotel was like being transported to a cozy home filled with authentic cultural items that complemented the historic room dating back to the 1200s. The breakfast and the view from the terrace were incredible, making our experience truly unforgettable. However, the price could be a bit high for some travelers.
