Our Architectural Heritage Villa Selena is a listed neoclassical mansion dating back to 1830. Due to the historical and strictly protected nature of the building, each of our 6 suites is unique in layout and dimensions. Size & Layout: Our suites follow the traditional architectural structure of Syros noble houses. In our property, the term "Suite" reflects the high aesthetic standards, curated art, and exclusivity of service rather than necessarily a multi-room layout. Precise square footage is provided for each unit to ensure transparency. The Mansion Experience: We invite our guests to experience the villa as a "living home." Your stay extends beyond the suite into our grand communal areas: the Great Hall with its sea-view balcony, the traditional breakfast courtyard, and our 360° rooftop terrace. One of the most distinctive features of Villa Selena is the meticulously restored hand-painted ceiling frescoes found in our suites and grand halls. By choosing Villa Selena, you are embracing an authentic stay in a historic landmark where heritage, character, and location offer a unique experience beyond standard hotel norms. Driven by a deep love for Syros and a commitment to authentic hospitality, our company curates unique stay experiences in Ermoupolis. Our portfolio includes two distinct properties: Villa Selena, a majestic 1830s mansion in the prestigious Vaporia district, and Skylight Suites, a collection of modern, stylish retreats located just steps away from the Port of Syros. Whether our guests choose the neoclassical elegance of a historic manor or the vibrant, urban convenience of our port suites, they are met with the same high standards of design, personalized care, and genuine Greek hospitality.

Villa Selena: Neoclassical Grandeur in Vaporia: Perched on the cliffs of the prestigious Vaporia district, "Villa Selena" is a meticulously restored 1830s neoclassical mansion, a living piece of history. Located opposite the iconic Saint Nicholas Church and just 50 meters from the crystalline Asteria beach, the Villa blends aristocratic grandeur with the intimate warmth of a private home. With only six unique suites, it is a sanctuary where Aegean salt air meets refined elegance. *The Curated Heritage: Art is the house's soul. Co-owner Katia Dimopoulou, whose career at the helm of *Harper’s Bazaar* and *Marie Claire* shaped the Greek aesthetic landscape, infused this historic manor with her vision of refined hospitality. Throughout the suites and salons, discover a curated "marriage" of old and new: photography by Tassos Vrettos, works by Dimitris Antonitsis, and bespoke ceramics by Liana Markaki and Maria Linardaki. From Katia’s framed silk scarves to Valentino Marengo’s sculptural sconces, every detail champions Greek artists and local artisans of Syros. *The Manor Experience: Beyond your suite, inhabit the manor’s grand communal spaces designed for reflection: * The Grand Living Room: A majestic, high-ceilinged salon with sweeping sea views and a private balcony over the Aegean. * Communal Verandas: Sun-drenched, serene corners perfect for enjoying the Syriot breeze. * The Panoramic Rooftop: Our furnished terrace offers 360-degree vistas of Vaporia, the Aegean, and the historic Didimi lighthouse, the first built in Greece. * The Internal Courtyard: A tranquil heart where fresh, local breakfast is served daily amidst scented herbs and neoclassical architecture. All spaces are exclusively accessible to Villa residents, ensuring a private, tranquil atmosphere throughout your stay.
