Stone-built studio under two Eucalyptus trees.

The cottage is wonderful. Solid house with nice internal decoration. Lefteris is a wonderful host.

Lefteris was friendly and helpful. He arranged for a taxi to meet us at the port. A 10L container of drinking water was provided and he even gave us a bottle of wine from is own grapes. The stone built studio is cosy, homely and private. We never tired of the view across the valley. There are no shops or tavernas in the village and car hire is recommended. However, we chose not to hire a car just for the couple of days that we stayed there and we didn't find this to be a problem. The roads were reasonably quiet and made for pleasant walking either up to Taverna Nikolas, further up the valley or down to shops and restaurant Enlefko, and others, in Vari on the coast.

A wonderfully relaxing and peaceful place to be in set amongst a beautiful little organic farm. The cottage is very small and simple but has everything you need. We loved it and everything about it.

Small, clean, and efficient. You will need GPS to navigate the isle but it's worth the effort. The host was great. Many thanks to his efforts to make my stay no less than spectacular.

Hello Lefteris Alexia Ermish- our holiday was perfect. The studio is very comfortable- you can find everything you need.We were welcomed with jam olive oil tomatoes and peppers. The windy climate was exactly what we were looking for. Syros is a charming place and we especially would like to recommend (if you like light trekking) to go to Grammata a isolated beach. Thanks again!

This is such a tranquil and soothing place. It was just what I was looking for. As beautiful as the pictures are it is even better in person. The studio is filled with light but it stays wonderfully cool with soft breezes from the cross ventilation. The décor is restrained and tastefully done; many of the antiques are from the family; the fabrics are traditionally handcrafted; and the ceramics are all made by Alexia. The basket of fruits, vegetables and homemade jam that awaited me on arrival was so artfully arranged that at first I didn’t realize it was real. Initially, Lefteris and Alexia gave me plenty of privacy but when it became clear that as a single traveler I didn’t mind the company they took me under their wing, making suggestions about the best beaches, letting me in on a traditional Greek festival at a nearby village, giving me a tour of the farm and generally making me feel completely at home. As a woman traveling alone I felt absolutely safe. As mentioned in the some of the other reviews, you will need a car. But it was so nice to return to the shady avenues of Chroussa after a day of exploring beaches or the bustle of Hermoupolis. I really can’t recommend this place enough, especially if you are looking for a quiet, restorative retreat. Thank you Alexia and Lefteris! I hope to return someday.

This studio made a perfect place to stay on Syros. It is a spacious, airy, stand-alone stone building, one large room furnished in a traditional style, and complete with a kitchen, small dining table, wardrobe and comfortable double bed. Everything necessary to prepare and eat simple meals at home is provided. The bathroom is basic but fully functional. The terrace, with shade trees and a view over farmland, made a lovely place to dine, or just to sit in the late afternoon and evening. I appreciated the personal touches: fresh eggs from their chickens, herbs and potatoes from their garden, their own fig jam and their own olive oil. Terry also pointed me to a good rental car company, and met me at the port when I arrived. Syros itself is an interesting island. I particular enjoyed my trip to the Ano Meria, the small villages and wild lands in the north. Two practical points: 1. If you stay here, you will need a car. This is not a negative, in my opinion, as it would be a shame to come to Syros and see only Ermoupolis. 2. The drive from Ermoupolis to the farm is not too long (perhaps 20 minutes), but it winds about quite a bit. I arrived after dark and was quite appreciative that Terry met me at the port so I could follow him there in my rental car. Highly recommended.

My husband and I stayed here during the Festival of the Aegean in 2014 and the beautiful property located in the hills of Chroussa was within easy access by rental car from Ermoupolis - about a 20 min. drive. The one room studio felt spacious, it had everything we needed; a small kitchen, clean bathroom with shower, WiFi, air conditioning, and we loved sitting on the large terrace under the eucalyptus trees. Originally a wine storage unit, the property has been lovingly remodeled into a mini retreat with a traditional feel. Everything is stone and tile with antique furnishings. The owners were absolutely wonderful; they met us at the ferry boat and guided us to the property which is hard to find on a map. Every day we would find little surprises ...some lemons, local sweets, etc. There is a small (tiny) swimming pool which we did not use, in the distance you can see the Mediterranean and the closest beach is about 10 minutes away. I would recommend a rental car if you stay here. We had a fantastic stay and would love to return one day soon...
