Wind Tales

DISHONEST!! we booked this hotel in January and tried to cancel the booking, but was told this was impossible, so we kept the booking rather than lose the money. at the time we explained we were coming with two older teenagers. .Then one month before we called to confirm and Alexis the owner said "no kids welcime2 he had changed his mind, and was quite rude about it saying he would no refund us.... so we said we were coming, Things got worse on the death of a family members and he then he said he would return 50% of the cost - HE NEVER PAID THE MONEY - very dishonest...

Stayed 3 nights. Wow…. what can you say about this very unique hotels experience; location, exceptional views and our room (Monastery) with very large balcony. The owner, Alexis and his small team were very helpful and on hand to provide local information. Located in Ano Syros you have to be part mountain goat, with a very steep hill and many hundreds of step down to Ermoupoli town, (takes circa 40 minutes to walk) and harbour with shops and Restaurants. It’s a test of balance and fitness so a taxi is worth considering. Note; it’s a five to ten minute walk with steps etc from the taxi drop off to the hotel. Ano Syros has a small winding streets with a selection of bars and restaurants. Adding to its unique character, there are lots of uneven steps around the hotel so it’s not for the faint hearted but worth it. Very small plunge pool, two sun loungers, four rooms. Breakfast is cooked to order, fresh, using local produce and is excellent. Would we stay again…. Yes but the hotel location and steps are a serious factor to consider.

What can I say... Wind Tales is pure paradise. Imagine waking up to the soothing sounds of the wind and waves, greeted by a breathtaking view that sets the tone for the day. The breakfast here is simply the best you’ll ever have, with all ingredients sourced locally and as fresh as can be. In the evening, savor a glass of wine under a sky full of stars, with the twinkling lights of the town in the distance—it’s nothing short of magical. Alexis and Tonia are exceptional hosts. Their recommendations will ensure you have the best holiday imaginable, and they go above and beyond to make your stay truly special. Thank you, Wind Tales, for an unforgettable experience Elena and Andres

We thoroughly enjoyed our three nights spent at Wind Tales earlier this month. This is a unique and intimate guest house in a stunning location. As others have mentioned, the owner Alexis is extremely attentive and was there to meet us at the ferry port (very helpful as the house is almost impossible to find in the car-free maze of Ano Syros). Alexis gave us useful advice about the town of Ermopouli and the rest of the island and was happy to make arrangements for car rental etc. Breakfast was outstanding and included home-made jams, marmalade and other treats from the farm of Alexis' family in the north of Syros. We also enjoyed little treats such as limoncello and wine that were left in our fridge. Syros was our first taste of the Greek Islands and our experience of Wind Tales and Ano Syros helped make it an unforgettable experience.

It is a great place, Alexis and team were wonderful hosts. The breakfast was the best, the views spectacular. Alexi, arranged a taxi diver that will pick you up from the hotel and he made reservations for us to very nice restaurants. I highly recommend Ano Syros. The property is new and very well kept. I recommend the executive room. The only note that I would like to make is that due to the location, it does have multiple steps to get to the room which was not a problem for us. Alexi and team helped with the luggage transfer.
