Das Hochbett und ihr habt besonders der Blick auf den Hafen gefallen

Gorgeous house with beautiful view over Symi and the harbour

Nothing

Absolutely everything. Had the most amazing time while staying at Villa Dora. The place is so beautiful and well decorated, the views are incredible and Nikos was a perfect host, giving me all the information to explore the island and also welcoming from and to the port. I’ll definitely go back!

nothing to complain about

Nikos, the property manager, was super helpful throughout our stay. He greeted us at the Ferry port & stored our luggage until we were able to check in a little later as our Ferry arrived very early in the morning. He also provided recommendations on places to go during our stay & was always available to contact by phone. The property itself was very traditional & located in Ano (upper) Symi - the village - and only a short walk from a number of ouzeris, mini markets, & tavernas. It is a much more traditional part of the island and a little cooler. It was also close to the 'Kala Strata' for easy access down to the harbour area. The property was very clean & spacious, with high ceilings & a great view from the balcony. There was a generous supply of water in the fridge & the kitchen had all the usual appliances - kettle, toaster etc. A couple of things to note that didn't diminish our stay in any way: The bathroom is slightly separate from the main property and is accessed by going out the kitchen door & across a small enclosed courtyard. Given that one of the double beds is in a mezzanine area above the kitchen we felt it might be helpful to have the keys to unlock the external door of the separate bedroom that also leads onto the courtyard so that the guests staying in the bedroom didn't need to disturb those sleeping in the mezzanine by going out through the kitchen. There is a short pathway & some steps down to the property from the road. These are a little uneven so those with mobility issues may struggle a little. But considering that most properties on the island are accessed by some (if not many) steps it is not that big of a deal. There are some beautiful climbing flowers on the wall opposite the entrance to the courtyard of the property. In the heat of the day these were buzzing with bees. In the morning & evening though they were completely fine.
