Sea La Vie Villa Symi

Wonderful
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Cute traditional house featuring two huge balconies with comfortable sitting areas that have a spectacular view on the harbour area. Quiet surroundings but very close to the harbour. We were picked up from the ferry and brought to the house which was very convienient when having sizeable luggage. Two well-sized bedrooms (one bed more comfortable than the other one), clean bathroom, well-equipped kitchen with a stacked fridge on arrival, two small living rooms (but you are not going to spend any time inside them). There are also a couple of games and books.
  : The kitchen could have been a bit cleaner. Be aware that you need to be in decent shape if you want to walk up from the harbour (many steps) and somewhat agile to climb the stairs inside the house - they are very steep and narrow. (One can also go up to the second floor outside which is easier).

  : amazing view, hot tub great feature especially as we were there early in the season so no swimming.
  : the internal staircase was v difficult- not more than a ladder. We used the outside ones even to visit the toilet at night. the property is very high in the harbour, worth it for the views but essential that you are reasonably fit.

  : The villa has stunning views and incredible outdoor space across the 2 terraces. I've never seen anything more jaw dropping.The hosts were very responsive and happy to help. The island is gorgeous.
  : The internal staircase was incredibly steep so coming down it at night to use the bathroom felt treacherous. We ended up using the outdoor staircase. The doors all locked from the outside so, to be able to use the outdoor staircase at night to come down from the upstairs bedroom to use the bathroom meant I had to leave the door unlocked and slightly ajar. If I'd pulled it closed, I'd have been locked in. This wasn't great from a safety perspective although slightly mitigated by the fact the garden gate locks. It also meant that I was woken throughout the night by the door blowing open in the wind!

Wonderful
Traveller Type:
  : -The extraordinary and exceptional view is the biggest advantage of the house -Functional kitchen and bathroom -Nice antique furniture, preserving the glory of a traditional Symi house
  : -Upper balcony is not functional, because biggest part of it is covered by a useless jacuzzi and the view is totally destroyed by a solar system -Broken sun umbrella of the balcony, broken shadow cover of the couch in the upper balcony, broken wine glasses give the impression that owners or responsible office should a little bit more about the offered amenities to visitors -Impossible approach of the house by car in combination with several steps, so the house definitely needs good physical condition
