A gem, highly recommended.
Pros: Wonderful, a most charming property. Proactive and consistent communications, followed up with a warm and friendly welcome from courteous hosts, ευχαριστώ πολύ Anna. Pertinent to the upstairs studio: a romantic, bright and airy space, perfect for couples. The emphasis on natural colour tones and materials (exposed stonework, wooden beams, cotton voile drapes, hand-built kitchenette and wetroom), with great attention to detail, fills the interior with genuine charm and a relaxing ambiance. Noteable comfort features are the efficient air conditioning system, copious hot water, and fly-screened fully openable windows. The location, high above the bustling harbour level, is peaceful and yet just a short stroll from a couple of well-stocked local shops, a bakery, and the little cluster of cafés and restaurants in the still-authentic Chorio neighbourhood at the top of Kali Strata steps (excellent for fitness maintenance).
Cons: Nothing re the property itself. Cockerels from local farmsteads/gardens can be heard thoughout the night; yet easily dealt with by closing windows.

Such a lovely place to sit and unwind outside and view the landscape, while sipping wine and eating local cheeses. The c
Pros: It was beautifully presented. The host was very helpful, from picking us up from the port to the little biscuits and wine at the property.
Cons: Nothing at all!

Kind and attentive owners made for a relaxing, memorable and idylllic stay in their lovely apartment
Pros: the location is lovely in a quiet village above the town of Symi with a couple of tavernas and 3 or 4 nice restaurants within a 5 minute walk. It was an easy 10 minute stroll down to Symi town. There are taxis in the town and a bus to run you back up if you don't fancy the 450 odd steps back up! The studio itself is cosy, spacious and well equipped with a coffee machine, kettle and gas hob with pots and pans and a host of features such as stone walls and beamed ceilings. Anna and her husband are the perfect hosts. They kindly gave us a lift to and from the ferry terminal - which was extremely helpful. Getting to Symi from Rhodes (and back) is straightforward with several ferries a day to and from the island. If you're looking for a relaxing break on a beautiful island - then Katrani studio is a great choice.

Relaxing, tranquil and beautiful
Pros: Beautiful studio with a nice view of the adjacent houses on the hillside! It was clean, well ventilated and the hosts (Anna and her husband) were just wonderful. We got croissants, wine, nuts and biscuits on arrival. Absolutely lovely people!
Cons: The property is situated quite high up the hillside so to get to the main port and back you have to descend/ascend a lot of steps which could be troublesome for some people! However Anna and her husband picked us up and dropped us off at the ferry port with our bags which was lovely! They showed us the nearest bus too!

Amazing studio in Symi, would definitely book it again!
Pros: The studio has all you need. Everything is new and well curated. The location is very nice, with a great bakery, grocery store, and great restaurants within walking distance. Anna is the most caring host we’ve ever met, always available and so kind.
Cons: Very minor issue, the studio can be quite bright at night/early morning. So if you’re a sleeper sensitive to light, we’d recommend a sleep mask.

Wonderful accommodation in a very beautiful island
Pros: Great location, spotlessly clean room, Anna and Nikitas are the kindest hosts. The free pick-up and drop-off service comes very handy in an island with a steep terrain. Located in a very peaceful neighborhood but also only a 2 minute walk from the restaurants of Xorio, I couldn't recommend it more.

The perfect vacation
Pros: We stayed in this apartment for 9 days in Symi, and it was one of the best vacations of our lives. Anna, the host, is such a kind and warm hearted person. She helped us with everything from laundry to tips around Symi. She also surprised us with everything from wine to pastries. The apartment is gorgeous, so clean and tidy, but charming and cozy. It was perfect staying up on the hill of Symi away from the noise during night, and if you don’t want to take the stairs there’s a bus stop close by. The AC was also saving us during the heat we experienced. If you want a dream stay in Symi, i would highly recommend Katrani Studios. Symi and Anna are forever in our hearts!
Cons: Trapporna till lägenheten, stundtals
