Hotel Ploes

A beautifully restored old villa in a quiet, exclusive setting. The rooms are tasteful, the views over the sea are stunning, and there is direct private access to the water — a real highlight. Breakfast is freshly prepared to order and of very good quality. The staff are discreet, helpful, and offered excellent local recommendations. The cocktails were outstanding — original, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. The bartender is doing an excellent job. A refined and peaceful place to stay. Would happily return.

We had a wonderful experience of being pampered and spoiled at the Ploes Hotel. The decor is stunning and includes a very interesting art collection of paintings and sculptures in the common areas and in the rooms along with beautiful chandeliers and furnishings. They have an extensive menu for breakfast/brunch, which is freshly made and extends to 130. Staff were warm and friendly and very helpful in making personal arrangements. There is a library that has extensive reading materials that they can be borrowed during your stay. We highly recommend a stay in this hotel, and we guarantee that you will be inspired by the view and the beauty of your surroundings.

Not to be missed experience staying at this exquisite mansion. All the five star reviews are well-deserved and more. From the moment you step into this magnificent Neo-classical home, filled with the owners hand selected art, you are transported back in time. The loukoumi offered in the library at check-in by Constandinos bodes to earlier times of gracious Greek hospitality. You feel like welcome guests coming to stay with good friends. Our deluxe double room with high ceilings and semi-private terrace overlooking the sea was amazing. The room airy and quiet with effective air-conditioning, a mini fridge, lots of room to hang up our clothes and even two small chairs to sit on. The bathroom was small but very clean, with beautiful marble finishes and nice water pressure in the shower. The delicious breakfast was made-to-order and served til late on the terrace. The staff was always kind and friendly. The owner, who was on premise every day and very charming, graciously shared the story of how she and her husband renovated this mansion into a hotel. Having a drink on the terrace at night was a wonderful way to end the day. The location was central to shopping, tourist sites and restaurants. Everything was within easy walking distance. We even happened upon a Greek folk dance festival in the main town square one evening. For swimming, we took a quick dip the first day using the hotel’s small sea access. On the rest of the days, we enjoyed a five minute stroll up the hill to a bigger public sea platform near St. Nicholas church. The waters are pristine and crystal clear. Constandinos made good restaurant recommendations. And, we found a few on our own. Syros is a beautiful town that maintains an authentic Greek island feel. If you go, we highly recommend staying at this hotel. Once you stay, you will want to come back again. We certainly do!

We felt like royalty from the moment we crossed the threshold of Hotel Ploes! The physical structure is magnificent with fine detail expressed in the design and art installations. The staff are truly remarkable and do their very best to assure that your every need is met. The daily breakfast is offered through lunch which is lovely and much appreciated. The private sundeck with access to the blue water was a lovely surprise. You do have to be careful after the large ferries pass wayyyyy out in the water. About 5 minutes after they pass there is a surprisingly huge surge of water that washes up onto the sundeck area. The only improvement I would suggest is better bedding and a portable fan in each room. Overall, a truly lovely experience!

Great Hotel, Great Staff & and a very BIG thank you to Constantine for keeping the wheels turning. Very central location for the varied choice of great restaurants and a wonderful haven to return to after touring this wonderful island. Enjoy your stay as we did.

This boutique hotel is exquisite. The owner and the staff are gracious and helpful. The accommodations are first class and incredibly beautiful. The daily breakfast is the best in Greece. Access to a private deck on the water is perfect. We will visit again soon.
