You are either going to love this place or hate it. It is a rather dated but spacious property beside the beach in the hamlet of Marathounta. The facilities are functional but basic (there is for instance no TV), and there is only one cafe and one taverna nearby both of which close at 6pm. If you like peace and quiet, and can tolerate some small privations you will love it. We did. Location: Marathounta is 17km from Symi and accessible only either via the twisting mountain road or by boat. That means that the nearest supermarket is 17km away. Be sure to stock up with provisions before arrival. On the beach there is both a cafe and a restaurant that cater for the tourists that arrive by boat at 11am. They both close at 6pm. There is a bakery and a restaurant at the monastery at Panoramitis 4km away. Before 11am and after the ferry from Symi leaves at 4.45pm you will have the beautiful pebble beach pretty much to yourself. The water is incredibly clear. Mind out for the local goats, and be sure to keep the gate to the terrace closed. Transport: our hosts picked us up from Symi and drove us to the villa via the supermarket so we could stock up for the week. The also drove us back at the end. If you need to get to Symi there are 3 buses a day at roughly 7.30am, 12pm and 4.30pm (ask at the cafe for the timetable). The road is narrow, steep and windy. Facilities: dated and rather basic. There is air conditioning in one of the bedrooms and the hallway, but not the second bedroom. The water from the tap is brackish and OK for washing but i would advise buying bottles of mineral water from the cafe. The water supply is also limited and the shower may run dry if too many other villagers are also trying to use it. Overall: we loved it.

The views are amazing, host is nice, wi-fi working well :) Very beautiful and quiet place. There is many chairs outside to enjoy the view. The house is really on the hill, so you should take some vehicle or be ready to go up and down by stairs (about 5 minutes) to get to the city center. There was a kitchen, so we could cook for ourselves, it is very convenient :)

I travelled from Rhodes to Symi by boat. Nikos was waiting for me at the port with a pickup sign. He accompanied me to the hotel and gave useful info about the island. When we arrived in the hotel room, the room was already cool because they switched the air conditioner on before I came. Thank you Nikos!

Anastasia was very nice to me and my boyfriend, she understood our necessities in terms of bedding and check-in/out. The room we stayed in was practically a studio apartment (certainly bigger than my studio apartment!) with a wonderful view on the sea

Excellent facilities located at a magnificent spot in the port of Symi. The view is wonderful providing a panoramic view of the port. Everything including the small ferries, restaurants and breakfast spots are in walking distance. Highly recommended.

This place is a true gem. Secluded away from the busy harbor, complete chill and relax. Everything is so perfect. The family who is running it is lovely , their food was supreme (compared all other places in Symi). Can’t recommend it enough

Perfect location, spotless clean, big room, very comfortable The owner Mr Manolis picked us from the ship and brought our luggages too He is very polite and kind Value for money I’ll definitely come back
