Guesthouse Lila is situated a few blocks away from the seafront in a quiet part of Ermoupolis, the charming capital of Syros. The 150-year-old building used to be the French consulate of Syros, but now it has the feel of a little Italian “pensione” or “chambres d’hôtes” in France. When Lila Papaionannou bought it some years ago, it needed a thorough restoration. Lila decided to do the house in a charming-old-meets-fresh-contemporary style, following much of its original layout but adding a modern aspect as well.

The house is on two floors. Both have wonderfully high ceilings (painted wood), and most rooms have a mezzanine where you can sleep – a clever use of the space. The furniture is a successful mix of the old and the new, and with pretty colour schemes (soft hues that add warmth but at the same time create a light and sunny atmosphere) and nice arty touches, Lila created a fresh, charming environment. The rooms are large enough to ‘hang out’ (especially the suites) and there is also a homely café/sitting room, where Lila serves breakfast in the morning

There are three spacious suites on the first floor of the house – one has a sea view. There are also three bedrooms with their own entrance from the street; one is strictly double (beware – the bed on the mezzanine level is accessed via a steep flight of steps), while the others have a double bed and a single bed on a mezzanine.

Your experiences

* "We felt priviliged"
We can't thank you enough! Our days in Greece were amazing. The people we met were wonderful, warm and gracious. And the accommodations were absolutely charming. It was hard to leave each establishment as we felt so at home. On Syros, Lila went out of her way to make us feel comfortable. She even picked up our laundry, unsolicited(!), when she heard that the laudromat would close in the afternoon while we were away touring the island. And you were right. What a fascinating and beautiful place to explore. We felt very priviliged to be the first Americans to ever stay at her place.In Nafplio, Leo at Kyveli Suites will be remembered by the family for years to come. What a charming character! We loved talking to him. We "loved what he'd done with the place." (I especially was blown away by the heated towel rack in the bathroom. My husband, who has done a lot of home remodeling, couldn't get over the marble work.) We loved the entire town. You did such a superb job. You let us into a Greece not seen by the ordinary tourists with their heads stuck in guidebooks. And that's exactly the experience we were looking for to share with our children. Our only regret was not meeting you, to thank you. in person.
