How would you describe Villa Syros II in a nutshell?
Our house is both a little design project and a very practical and spacious family home. The uniqueness of Villa Syros II is its architecture, becoming one with the surroundings and melting with the nature. The heart of the property, the piazza is surrounded by olive, fig and pine trees as well as many beautifully scented Mediterranean herbs and bushes.
The house has everything you can think of and wish for, a main house with 3 bedrooms including the master bedroom, a separate guest-house with two family apartments for more independence, a BBQ with a fully equipped outdoor kitchen for the chefs under you, an elevated dining area next to it for amazing views and chilled dining, a 20 meter chlorine-free, heated, infinity pool with a Tarzan rope hanging in the middle of the pool, a Jacuzzi in front of the pool, a roof garden for the perfect sundown drinks or meals, a cave to unplug from the rest of the world, an under the Stars open-air Cinema for unforgettable, goose bumps moments, an outdoor pull-up and dip- bar station for the active ones, a small vegetable garden, a protected outdoor breakfast area, a fire place and extraordinary architecture and details everywhere the eyes fall.
How would you describe the interior design and architecture?
The Cycladic architecture is the basis of the villa, integrated perfectly into the landscape. The interior design blends traditional handcraft based on chosen natural materials and high quality fabrics with modern reduced design. It is also equipped with state of the art technology such as a central under floor cooling/heating system in all rooms and automatic controlled humidity regulation, geothermal heating pump and photovoltaic panels.
The villa was built out of local natural materials with two main objectives: to provide an extraordinary housing experience and to give the feeling of being ecologically adapted to the natural surroundings of the Kokkina mountain.
How would you describe the atmosphere at Villa Syros II?
The villa is the perfect place to be when you seek inspiration, peace and privacy! The moment you enter the property you feel positive energy and freedom encircling you!
Who should stay at the villa and who should rather book something else?
The villa has been rented by a variety of guests in the past. It is the perfect spot for couples looking for a romantic getaway, for families that would like to spend quality time together in an environment of luxury, hospitality and comfort and for friends who want to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays or bachelor/ette parties.
Where are the closest supermarkets and how far away are some restaurants you would recommend?
The closest supermarket is in the village of Kokkina, a 2-3 mins drive from the villa. It also offers our guests to deliver the shopping to the villa at no extra costs. There is also a bakery and a butcher next to the supermarket, both the best on the island. And the fisherman of Kokkina provides us with fresh fish on a daily basis if requested. The village also has a pharmacy and some nice traditional restaurants.
Other restaurants are for example Ono, a beautiful new bar-restaurant right on the beach of Agathopes, 10 min. from the villa, offering delicious sushi and traditional cuisine. In Ermoupolis, a 20 min. drive, are a variety of nice shops, restaurants and bars to have a drink and enjoy the views such as Mazi (most beautiful garden restaurant of Syros) or Vaporia (great views of Emoupolis). In Ano Syros, the old part of town, are several picturesque cafés and restaurants. And in Kini is the highly recommended restaurant Allou gia Allou, all in white and next to the water.
The main house fronts the 20 meter infinity pool, which laps at its very walls. Sit on the masters bedroom windowsill and dip your feet into the water, while enjoying the deep blue sea view in front of you. Behind the main house you can get active, an outdoor stainless steel gym-rack for TRX band training and pull-ups is waiting- or just use it as children's playground! Next to it, a small vegetable garden, be a self-picker and discover the delicacies that grow here.
The main villa offers a spacious living room with an open, double-face in-outdoor fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen and a dining area for 12. The breakfast area outside is the perfect place to start the day, sun and wind protected with a magnificent calm view, sits 10-12. The 3 double rooms including the master bedroom round up the functional architecture of the main house.
A guest house to the rear enfolds a wind sheltered and shady patio area with a hammock, crocheted cushions and poufs that invites you to unplug. Inside 2 separate apartments with a shared entrance, a kitchenette and 2 double bedrooms each give your friends, guests or teenage children enough space for independence.
The elevated outdoor dining pavilion next to the outdoor BBQ with fully equipped kitchen offer shady dining for a maximum of 12 people with unforgettable views. Further pergolas provide additional shady, glamorous cushioned chill seating areas around the heart of the property, The Piazza! The Piazza, a spacious terrace of 500 sqm between the infinity pool, main building, BBQ and Guesthouse invites you to relax under shady or sunny areas on its daybeds, sun beds, poufs, loungers or sofas. Jump into the pool like Tarzan, a rope hanging above the pool from a pergola makes it possible and is great fun for big and small.
In front of the pool a new Jacuzzi and its beautifully cushioned surrounding invites to linger. If you like to be on your own, away from the family ongoing, just step down to discover the newly constructed cave! You feel the energy of the stone on your back and face the deep blue sea and sky in front of you. You are hanging between, air, earth and water. An extraordinary experience.
What is going on when it gets dark? Grab your signature drink, put your favourite music on and go up to the roof. The sundowns here are amazing. Next step, go down next to the cave and watch your favourite movie on our newly build outdoor, under the Stars Cinema. Goose bumps guarantee. Being in your home, watching with your beloved a movie and gazing to the starry sky is an unforgettable experience. Not a movie fan, just stay on the roof, lay down on the comfortable loungers up there and gaze into the starry clear sky of Syros.
We offer a concierge service including the transfers to and from the airport/port and the organisation of excursions, helicopter services, boat and car rental, a chef, breakfast services, massages, personal trainer and any kind of help you need during your stay.
We also provide our guests with a complimentary grocery shopping service before arrival (bills paid by the guest) and a welcome hamper including a bottle of wine and traditional products such as fruits, marmalade, olives and cheeses as well as a welcome meal upon arrival.
The villa rental includes daily cleaning and changing of linen and towels twice a week. We have toiletries of O.live (a Greek brand using only natural ingredients) in our bathrooms as well as sunscreen and after sun body milks from the O.live series.
For the active ones, there is an outdoor body weight workout gym between the pine and olive trees with pull-up, push-up and dip bars as well as horizontal and vertical ladders made of stylish stainless steel tubes.
An amazing outdoor, under the Stars Cinema with surround system is build in front of the pool.
A small vegetable garden with seasonal fruit and vegetables is on the property, our guests are more than welcome to self-pick their favourite ones.
The closest beach is the Kokkina beach, a two minute drive from the villa. It is a nice natural beach with only locals around. We love this beach! Agathopes (10 min.) is the top beach on the island with great facilities, a restaurant and a pool bar. Marmari and Grammata are also marvelous beaches but you have to take a boat to reach them. Delfini (15 min.) is also a great beach as well as Galissas (7 min.), which is a longer beach with some water sport facilities (not motorised).
There are activities like stand up paddling, tennis, paddle boats, kayak (no motorised water sports allowed on the island) and there is an open air cinema, which we love. We are of course happy to help with any activities or excursions during your stay.
The villa is located on the island of Syros, Greece, a 4 minute drive from the town of Finikas with all the every day shops you need, a bakery, a butcher, a pharmacy, many supermarkets etc. The airport, the port and the town of Ermoupolis are 20 mins away from the villa. The closest beach is only 2 mins away, other beaches can be reached in 10 mins drive.
What we love about Syros is the tranquility and elegance the island presents. It is the place to be not only during summer but the whole year. It is not a crowded, touristic place, it is still unspoiled and has kept its natural charm. And the people on the island are friendly, relaxed and helpful.
The best time to visit Syros is from May to June, the beginning of July and definitely September. The weather is great, some days it can be a bit windy but there is always a beach or a restaurant that is totally wind protected. In May there is lots of vegetation and wonderful wild bushes around. In June the sea is getting warmer and in September you can enjoy a warm Aegean sea with capturing day light!
Even Christmas and Easter is wonderful on the island, with some heavy rains that only last for a short period of time but provide you with phantasmagoric views. The climate is warm and enjoyable the whole year around.
August is a wonderful month to come to Syros as well for people who like the streets, the beaches and the restaurants with more people. Anyway, the villas are all year around the perfect spot to be on your own, enjoying the beauty of the surroundings.
