Villa Maria is a cute family hotel, ideally located in front of the beach, walkable distance from the port. The hosts are so nice and welcoming !

Hardly any downsides. The single beds could be a bit wider—but then again, I'm quite tall. And the fridge could be a little bigger.

The stay was amazing! The location is just a 3-minute walk from the beach by the harbor. A wonderfully peaceful spot. Antonis and Maroussa, the owners, are incredibly friendly. It felt like coming home. They uphold the right values and principles. We had lovely chats, and they take great care of their guests. I truly cherish them and hope to see them again in the future. The accommodation has a beautiful swimming pool with sun loungers, and a cozy pergola with comfortable seating areas. Everything is meticulously maintained. The rooms are cleaned daily—everything is very clean and tidy. Each room has a lovely terrace with a table and chairs, offering views of the mountains, the sea, or the pool. You can also have breakfast if you wish, which is a lovely added bonus. In short: a beautiful stay and definitely worth repeating!

Nothing - it was super .

Villa Maria was exceptional !! It is a beautiful hotel with a spacious , very clean room and lovely people who run it! The customer service is outstanding . There is nothing Antonio’s and his wonderful wife and daughter won’t provide you! Plus he brought us to the port , gave us great recommendations as well to beaches and restaurants. The hotel is on the port in a quiet location walkable to restaurants, supermarket , bars and right next to the beach ! You can’t beat it!

One small complaint is we found the beds a little uncomfortable but everything else made up for it!

The most amazing stay with the most lovely hotel owners and staff. We felt so at home and accommodated with everything. The villa itself was gorgeous, amazing location to the beach and the pool area was so serene. All the little details around the hotel made it so exceptional!

The owners, family feel and the location was spot on! Really felt at home being away from home. The hospitality from the owners was incredible and they were available if you needed anything - nothing was too much for them.

Strongly recommend. Had a lovely time in Villa Maria. Rooms are extremely clean you can see they put a lot of effort into it. Breakfasts are delicious and big. The hosts are friendly, always present and ready to help but not obtrusive. We felt like home Location: near ferry port (12 mins walk) and you can also take a bus to the Chora village just from the Villa Rules: we liked that there were no loud people or parties in Villa; anyway there is a lot of clubs in Chora to go to

Everything ! Marussa, Adonis and their daughters are very welcoming, smilling and caring. If you are looking for a beautifull hotel/bed and breakfast, very close from the port of Ios (10 minutes walking with big luggages), very chill, quiet, cute (we loved all the small details). With a lovely swimming pool to breath and relax, you should book! Two sisters travelling, felt very secured, and welcomed on a great island where you can do many things (turquoise water beaches, renting scooters to discover, deicious Greek food) etc

Hosts were fantastic, rooms were immaculate. Food was superb, all homemade. Pick up from the port by the hosts. Please stay here

Nothing I didn’t like. Just takes a couple of days to get used to the beds

The location was perfect. Right next to a beach and a 10 minute walk to the bus stop to get into town. Pool was lovely and plenty of sun beds for everyone. Very friendly

Nothing at all.

Villa Maria is a beautiful authentically Greek family run hotel with the most hospitable owners Antonis and Marusa. Breakfast was delicious which Marusa kindly made daily upon request. They also picked us up and returned us to the port upon arrival and departure. Nothing is too much trouble!

Nothing, couldn’t fault our stay!

Gorgeous accommodation! The hosts are so hospitable and friendly! Bright and spacious rooms.

The beds were not very comfortable, pretty hard and we only had a sheet to cover up during the night. Because of this we got pretty cold during the night, without the air conditioning it was too hot.

The property was beautifully done and super tidy. The owners were super friendly and helpful! The location of the stay is exceptional if your island hopping and need to get to the port.

My partner and I enjoyed a beautiful and relaxing holiday in Ios, thanks to Villa Maria! The owners are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and helpful. They take great pride in keeping the property clean and ensuring guests have everything they need for a stress-free stay. Villa Maria's location is ideal for those who want to avoid the hustle and bustle but still be close to great beaches, food, and sights. We spent a lot of time by the tranquil pool area, which was spotless and had excellent lounges and umbrellas. Our air-conditioned room included a bar fridge and a lovely terrace where we enjoyed our mornings and evenings. They also offer a variety of delicious snacks and drinks, with the Greek salad being a favourite! We will definitely return and highly recommend Villa Maria to anyone looking for a beautiful holiday in Ios.

This was truly such a great location for a relaxing holiday 2mins walk to a really picturesque and spotless beach with crystal clean water. 5mins walk to the port with lots of lovely cafés and resturants etc and away from the more lively nearby resort. Our hosts at Villa Maria were so welcoming and friendly and so helpful with everything incl recommendations for great resturants, offering to collect us and drop us back to the port for very early morning ferries. Nothing was a problem!

The beds were a bit on the harder side. The location is a bit further out from the main part of town. It's a hard walk up an insane hill. However, there is meant to be a bus that goes by and I would recommend looking that up before embarking on the walk (as we did not). On our second day the lovely host called a taxi for us which came super quick.

The family that run Villa Maria are absolutely wonderful. They are so kind, respectful and helpful. The rooms were really clean and the air conditioning worked super well. The nearest beach was great and the pool was perfect.

Absolutely stunning villa run by the most welcoming and lovely family! Our group would go back in a heart beat. They went above and beyond to help our group with everything! The recently renovated rooms were spacious and had great aircon from the ios heat. The pool area was fantastic for relaxing and all only a short walk away from the beach. The location is great, near enough to walk to and from the port/restaurants and bars but far away enough to fully relax. Could not recommend enough!

Pool bae service was terrible because there was only one person staffing it, doing the food and taking orders. This meant we had to wait 10 mins at a time before being served.

view from the hotel was stunning. Breakfast was great. Used car service which was delivered to hotel. Staff gave some good tips for an itinerary of what to do in pathos.
