ABOUT PONENTE

Ponente Nimborio,  settled in the peaceful bay of Nimborio, offers guests a peaceful, serene and blissful holiday away from their everyday, busy lifestyle. What makes it unique is that you can literally jump into the clear crystal waters of the Aegean Sea from your bedroom. Some would compare it to holidaying on a boat. The view, the colours and the sea is breathtaking at any time of the day, from early sunrise to late sunset.

​

The front balcony offers the chance to embrace and take in the view while enjoying breakfast, lunch and dinner and drinks. Sunbeds are available to lay down and soak in the sun after a refreshing swim or a canoe ride. A SUP (stand up paddle) is also available to explore the beaches and coves of the surrounding bay. The side balcony offers more outdoor space for lazing around outdoors and you can rinse off the sea salt using the outdoor shower.

​

The house in itself offers all the amenities that you would find in your own home, from a fully functional kitchen and even a washing machine to avoid all the dirty laundry when you get home. The front bedroom is spacious and airy with two windows that allow the fresh, sea breeze to wake you up in the morning and the splashing of the sea to help you drift off to sleep at night. Wooden shutters are part of the architecture of the houses on the  island and if needed can be used to shut out the world while you sleep. The guest bedroom offers a quiet haven for relaxation. Coffee and tea are provided as is a welcome breakfast pack and a complimentary bottle of wine. Two double bedrooms accommodate a party of two couples or a family with an extra sofa bed in the living room. Ponente is also perfect just for two!

​

Two newly renovated studios are also available at Ponente. They are situated behind the house as they were originally built as water cisterns which make them extra cool in the hot summer months. Each has a lovely small garden in front of them with a table and chairs for your use. The studios each sleep 2 people and can be rented separately. The sea and all the amenities offered are also available to visitors who prefer the coziness of a smaller apartment. The studios have a fully functional kitchen with an expresso machine, a kettle , frappe shaker and a toaster. Coffee and tea is also provided together with a breakfast pack. Waiting for you once you arrive is also a complimentary bottle of wine to enjoy by the sea or in the garden.

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

We spent 6 perfect nights staying at Ponente in beautiful Nimborio. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel very much at home. The apartment was spacious and beautifully finished and the location was simply amazing with an absolute waterfront position on the beautiful Nimborio Bay. An expansive deck area and jetty allows guests to take full advantage of the location. However, while both the accommodation and position were exceptional, it was our interaction with the host family which made our stay a truly memorable one. We could not of asked for more welcoming, generous, kind and helpful hosts. We could not recommend Ponente more highly if you are looking for a stay in Symi in a convenient location away from the busy harbour and in the most beautiful part of the island.
