Marthas Traditional House

Overall a wonderful stay and thoroughly enjoyable.

Pros: It was really refreshing to be able to stay in an authentic, traditional Symi family house in November. The location up in the village was perfect for us. The hot water, heating and wifi were excellent. The roof terrace was a bonus. The service given by the owner and the value for money were outstanding.

Cons: Nothing!

Pros: Johnny was incredibly helpful before and during our trip. Beautiful views over pedi from the balcony. The village had everything you could need in it. Would definitely stay here again.

Cons: Bed is a little hard but that's just personal preference.

Great host, very welcoming. Would recommend to anyone needing somewhere to stay in Symi

Pros: Great location and excellent communication from the host. Very informative. The property was full of charm and character.

Cons: Nothing in particular

Pros: The location was amazing and the house was fully equipped!

Quiet & peaceful & only church bells

Pros: Kind host Jonny arranged taxi when we arrived to property. Easy to find. Door clicks to left..no problem for us. Everything was clean & catered for. Friendly ginger & white cat sometimes vists. View from balcony is fantastic looking towards Pedi beach, we sometimes ate breakfast up there & glasses of wine in early evening. Listening to church bells on balcony & nothing else..beautiful, we will miss. Also I booked wrong ferry tickets going home (wrong port) so was calmly directed by host Jonny on what bus to catch towards monastery end. Excellent all round.

Cons: Main bed was hard but that’s just a personal preference.

We had a great stay. We all enjoyed the kalistrata stairs. We also felt part of the community.

Pros: Shower was good. We liked the courtyard and the roof terrace. We liked the location. It was quiet at night. Close to restaurants and shops. Well connected with frequent buses. Johnny remained in frequent contact. He couldn’t do enough for us! We were all impressed with his instant responses. We would definitely stay again.

Cons: The steps took some getting used to. But by the second day we managed them better.

Pros: The location is beautiful up in the old town. The house is a typical Greek house with an amazing view of the sea. Just the bed was a bit hard but for us it was a minor issue. The communication with the host was perfect, always at disposal and ready for help! Recommended!

Pros: The house is very well equiped and has everything you need. The owner is very arranging and at your disposal for any question

Cons: The fournitures are a bit old. You feel like beeing by you grandma's house. (you will like it or not) The house is quite high in the Town (but the owner arranged a taxi when arriving 😊)

A Perfect Blend of Hospitality and Authenticity!

Pros: Tucked away in a tranquil neighborhood in the quaint Chorio, Martha´s Traditional House is a serene retreat away from the crowds and yet a stone´s throw away from everything (bus stops, taverns, coffee shops). The house itself is a true delight, beautifully preserving its authentic charm with traditional architecture and tasteful decorations. It offers a fully equipped kitchen and a cozy patio, as well as a terrace with stunning views. The host went above and beyond to ensure my stay was comfortable and enjoyable, providing local recommendations and uncovering hidden gems!

Highly highly recommended

Pros: We had a lovely time at Marthas Traditional House. Johnny is an exceptional host, super friendly, and always willing to help. He recommended us incredible places to visit and to enjoy amazing Greek food. The house is super genuine and comfortable. Location is incredible, we can really feel the real Simy. 5*, highly highly recommended!!
