The space
The Asterope House of Symi is a traditional, stone built spacious family house, clinging on the foot of a hillside, just 40 steps above the sea level. Offering breathtaking views of the superb natural harbour of Symi and the island beyond from its balconies and windows, the house seems “floating” over the Aegean Sea. Accommodating up to 4 persons, it provides the perfect setting for families and small groups of people to enjoy the island’s unique beauty and sense of time-forgotten mystery.
Originally built in 1891 during the island’s era of prosperity by our ancestors, the house in now completely renovated retaining the elegant lines of the local architecture and its harmonious palette of ochre, terracotta and pastel blue. The house is equipped with all the facilities for self-catering accommodation and modern in-room amenities. While modern it is still traditional as its interior decoration features elements & items of our grandmother Asterope and our grandfather Giannis, just to give you a sense of the simplicity of past everyday life.
The Asterope House is at the same time so close and so far from the busy area of Symi harbour (Gialos). Located at a central part of the harbour, the Pytini neighbourhood which is a peaceful and buzz-free area, it is not more than a 5 minutes walk from all the bars, restaurants, supermarkets and taxi boats.
On opening the over a hundred years old wooden door you immediately sense the welcoming warmth of the house. Upon entering into the large living room you can fully enjoy the endless views of Symi harbour through its large windows and two balconies “floating over the sea”. The spectacular views of the Aegean, one of the best features of the house, can also be enjoyed from the 2 bedrooms, one with a double bed and one with bunk beds. The newly built-in kitchen is fully equipped with an electric stove & full size oven, fridge, coffee machine, kettle, toaster providing the opportunity of preparing a meal while getting a glimpse of the amazing Aegean blue through the kitchen window & balcony.
