Pros: The apartment was spacious, and on the whole, very well equipped. The terrace was lovely, though too hot once the sun rose! A sun umbrella would have been useful. The breakfast provided was good.
Cons: The WiFi took a long time to sort out and there was no information about the buses or how to get to local shops and tavernas. We soon worked it out, but it was confusing initially, as the villa was a bit out of the way. The owner couldn't speak much English, and her daughter wasn't there, so she couldn't offer much guidance. The daughter, however, did message me with some information.

Amazing experience and hospitality.
Pros: The place was amazing. Beautiful terrace with sun all day. Nice kitchen and living room, great bedrooms and bathroom. Lots of light during the day but possible to block out the light and have it cool inside when it’s very hot. Most of all thought the experience was made exceptional by the hospitality of Raphaela and her mother. Always checking in if everything was ok, giving snacks and food and just being very responsive and following up on everything. Would recommend for everyone.
Cons: Nothing, everything was perfect.

Pros: Spacious 2 bedroom with 1 double bed and 2 singles. The bathroom included a washing machine which was helpful for beach towels etc. There is also a lovely terrace area with a great view. The host was lovely and picked us up from the port and dropped us back!
Cons: The location is up a very high hill (be aware). There is a bus which is once an hour down and up for 2.50€ each way. The bus is right outside the property and takes you into town or the other way goes to Pedi.

A beautiful island and a very accommodating stay with great hospitality
Pros: The hosts couldn’t have been more welcoming. They kept in touch throughout our stay to see if we needed anything. We had bread, ham,cheese, milk, juice, yogurts, pastries and eggs delivered to us. On the last day we had a late ferry to our next destination. Our bags were looked after and even bought to us at the harbour at the end of the day before dropping us at the port. We will definitely stay again if we return to Symi and certainly recommend to any other traveller ☺️

A pleasant, relaxing quiet place to stay after the hubbub of the port.
Pros: We were met at the port by Raphaela's mother who took us up the hill to the windmill area where the apartment is situated. It was large and airy, and we much enjoyed the space. Mum did not speak much English, but when we found one or two minor problems we messaged Raphaela who promptly replied and sent Mum to fix things. It is worth noting that buses leave from the bench on the road above the house at 20 minutes before the hour to go to the port, and 20 minutes after the hour to go to Pedi Beach and the Hora.
