Hotel Ploes

A beautifully restored old villa in a quiet, exclusive setting. The rooms are tasteful, the views over the sea are stunning, and there is direct private access to the water — a real highlight. Breakfast is freshly prepared to order and of very good quality. The staff are discreet, helpful, and offered excellent local recommendations. The cocktails were outstanding — original, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. The bartender is doing an excellent job. A refined and peaceful place to stay. Would happily return.

A magical moment the minute we entered this wonderful boutique hotel. Perfectly situated. A charming place to stay with charming staff to match. The service was excellent. The breakfasts were the best we had on our Greek Island hopping trip. What a fabulous place to stay at the end of our 3 week holiday.

Not to be missed experience staying at this exquisite mansion. All the five star reviews are well-deserved and more. From the moment you step into this magnificent Neo-classical home, filled with the owners hand selected art, you are transported back in time. The loukoumi offered in the library at check-in by Constandinos bodes to earlier times of gracious Greek hospitality. You feel like welcome guests coming to stay with good friends. Our deluxe double room with high ceilings and semi-private terrace overlooking the sea was amazing. The room airy and quiet with effective air-conditioning, a mini fridge, lots of room to hang up our clothes and even two small chairs to sit on. The bathroom was small but very clean, with beautiful marble finishes and nice water pressure in the shower. The delicious breakfast was made-to-order and served til late on the terrace. The staff was always kind and friendly. The owner, who was on premise every day and very charming, graciously shared the story of how she and her husband renovated this mansion into a hotel. Having a drink on the terrace at night was a wonderful way to end the day. The location was central to shopping, tourist sites and restaurants. Everything was within easy walking distance. We even happened upon a Greek folk dance festival in the main town square one evening. For swimming, we took a quick dip the first day using the hotel’s small sea access. On the rest of the days, we enjoyed a five minute stroll up the hill to a bigger public sea platform near St. Nicholas church. The waters are pristine and crystal clear. Constandinos made good restaurant recommendations. And, we found a few on our own. Syros is a beautiful town that maintains an authentic Greek island feel. If you go, we highly recommend staying at this hotel. Once you stay, you will want to come back again. We certainly do!
