A spacious residence with unobstructed views to the nearby pine wood and the endless Aegean blue.
Meet the sheltered little patio with its lavenders and the emblematic palm tree, a hospitable spot any time of day. “Skepana” is the word we use in Syros for any part of the house whose orientation keeps it protected from the wind, the rain or the hot sun, and there is no better description for this patio.
On the ground floor you will find the living room, the kitchen, the bathroom and the bedroom with its double bed. A marble table dining suite, a kerosene lamp with a turquoise opal glass and ceramic art objects give this space its distinguishing character.
Climb the wooden ladder in the living room and you will find yourself on a loft, a favourite spot with all of our guests, little or grown-up. The view of the surrounding farm and sounds echoing from the village will make you reluctant to leave this little “nest at the top”.
There is more chance for play in the backyard under the palm tree, where a stone table, scattered logs, various toys and a swing hanging from an inviting olive tree await our little friends.

Tutto quello che ci si può aspettare per una vacanza rilassante e piacevole puoi trovarlo qui. La casa é spaziosa e fornita di ogni accessorio. É arredata con gusto ed eleganza rustica. Ogni piccolo dettaglio é curato con attenzione. La location é davvero rilassante, appartata ed intima. La vista é eccezionale, la posizione strategica perché praticamente al centro dell isola. Inoltre i proprietari di casa ci hanno coccolati parecchio, portandoci i prodotti della loro fattoria ogni volta che ne avevano l’occasione. Un posto che consiglieremo senza dubbio a tutti!
This traditional farmhouse was a wonderful place to stay for our holiday. The setting in the hills with a view on the sea a few kilometers away is exceptional, with luscious greenery, a mixture of pine trees and eucalyptus. The location is very quiet. The house itself is charming, very clean and adequately furnished with complete facilities, and a lovely terrace to have meals on, or just enjoy the peaceful surroundings and beautiful view. The owners are charming and very helpful. Having a car or a motorbike is a must and is very easy to rent (the owners can help you do this). There are many interesting and beautiful places to visit in Syros and its capital town Ermoupolis, and the island’s beaches are accessible and very pleasant (quite a few sandy beaches). We highly recommend this traditional farmhouse for a peaceful holiday.
It was a revelation, even for insiders like us who claim to know Greece inside out. We rediscovered hospitality and a quality in human relationships that we’d thought were long gone. Terry is a vineyard aficionado and this really shows in his conversation and, of course, his bottled wines. And then Chroussa looks almost surreal on a Greek island, with its old dignified villas and greenery. You’d almost be forgiven for forgetting about the sea, but the blue touch in the horizon is always there, should you miss it.
We spent three weeks at the Chroussiano Farmhouse and it was one of the best things we have ever done. We spend must of our time alone, hanging out with the cats and enjoying the sweet smell of rosemary every afternoon when the sun set.
Terry and his father would shows us the farm and bring us fresh eggs every morning and other produce that I used for cooking… I even made a fig tart with figs, almonds and eggs from the farm!
The house is super nice, very clean, and it has all the commodities (ac, internet, an equipped kitchen, etc).
The property is on top of a hill, so it is necessary to have a vehicle. We didn’t have one, so we had to take cabs all the time. Cabs are totally fine, but when you stay for three weeks, you end up using them a lot! Also, the beaches are a little bit far, so better to drive than walking on a road with no sidewalks under the sun.
In general, we loved our time at the Chroussiano Farmhouse and we can’t wait to go back now with our kid!
Wir verbrachten 2 Wochen im Juni 2011 in Syros auf dem fantastischen Farmhaus Chroussiano. Das Domizil ist ein ganz besonderes Haus auf das wir gerne achteten. Es ist wundervoll gelegen und mit einem tollen Blick aufs Land und Meer, in dem wir uns sehr wohlfühlten. Die nette Familie Xenakis mit seinen Eltern versorgten uns sehr zuvorkommend mit allen Informationen die wir brauchten um die schöne Insel mit seiner fantastischen Stadt, schönen Plätzen und gute Restaurants zu erkunden. Hier will man sein hier ist man erwünscht im Farmhaus Chroussiano.
Wanting to find an island and location that would allow our children to experience true Greek culture took us away from my husbands home island of Rhodes and off to the small Island of Syros. This year will be the second year that we have visited Syros and stayed at Chroussiano Farmhouse and planning to return next year also. The hospitality is second to none with owners Alexia and Lefteris going out of their way to make you welcome and help you to navigate the island.
If you want your own little piece of paradise go and stay, you will certainly leave feeling more relaxed and rejuvenated than when you arrived.
It doesn’t get better than this. We spent a week in this lovely home with a view of the Aegean Sea and located in a totally private setting. The house is tastefully decorated and had everything we needed as well as a comfortable veranda with a view of the sea. The location is really ideal being only a short drive to Ermoupolis but also close to a number of good beaches where we swam most every day.
We vacationed on 3 Greek Islands and found Syros to have the most amenities and the largest population. We enjoyed the quay in Ermoupolis and also the picturesque streets in the district of Vaporia. Then we walked the quaint streets of Ano Syros and ended our day with a great meal at Taverna Lilis. We also explored the south coast of the island – Vari over to Fonika where we enjoyed a great seafood dinner at Arxantariki Thalassa.
Lastly we want to thank Alexia and Terry for inviting us into their home. And we hope to visit here again sometime in the future.
