Stavros Mansion

Restored Sponge Merchant's Mansion



The seafront entrance from the quayside opens into a cavernous room, once the warehouse for storing sponges in the nineteenth century.  This has been converted into a vast living area with an open plan modern kitchen and dining area on one side and a sleeping alcove with a built-in L-shaped bed suitable for children and a comfortable sitting area on the other.  There is a small guest bathroom tucked under the imposing central wooden staircase. A mezzanine area above this room contains a double bed behind a screen and a long table with chairs.  From the mezzanine another flight of stairs leads to the upstairs rooms.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with twin beds, on either side of a long corridor leading to the back entrance of the house.  Both rooms have en suite bathrooms.  There is also a large and airy salon with a large balcony and panoramic sea views.   At the back of the house there is a small secluded courtyard ideal for soaking up the sun in the afternoons.  A door from the courtyard leads out into the lane behind, giving the house two separate entrances.

This house is perfect for a family of 4- 8 people who want plenty of personal space.  It is also suitable for visitors who would like to enjoy Symi's traditional architecture without having to climb lots of steps.

"We had a good and relaxing week on Symi. The house was great, with a perfect location. The relaxing hour on the balcony with a beer after a day on the beach was great.More Testimonials
