The Space:
The brand new interiors are very recently renovated in a traditional Cycladic style.
Guests can relax in the impressive main living room of the villa, sitting comfortably on a built-in corner sofa, adjacent to the kitchen and breakfast table located on a higher level. Breathtaking views of the sea are visible from all its large windows. The higher level veranda is perfect for enjoying the sunset in the afternoons or having drinks in the moonlight.

The two bedrooms share a bathroom with shower. The room's balcony doors open onto a beautiful veranda in the shade with a dining table seating 8.
The villa's three verandas, each with incredible unobstructed views, are undoubtedly the best place to enjoy sitting, relaxing, eating or having drinks, any hour of the day.
Taking the stairs downhill, at a 30 m distance, a small private rocky swimming spot, away from crowds, is at the guests' disposal.
The Neighborhood:
Although Sifnos is one of the most beautiful islands of the Cyclades, it has yet to be discovered by many tourists. Its many picturesque villages, monasteries, hiking paths and clear water beaches are very well known in Greece. The island is also famous for its traditional pottery and delicious food.
The famous monastery of Chrysopigi, built on a rocky islet, is a must! You can swim in the crystal-clear waters of the sandy beach of Apokofto near Chrysopigi, or visit Platys Yialos, Vathi, and Fasolou. Afterwards, have lunch at any of the local tavernas found on every beach.
Apollonia, the capital, has lost nothing of its traditional charm. There are many shops selling local jewelry and pottery, as well as clothing and home furnishings. The town also offers restaurants serving regional or broadly Mediterranean food and a great nightlife with a full range of cafés, bars and clubs.
Kastro with its breathtaking views and Artemonas with its beautiful traditional architecture are two villages well worth visiting.
The monasteries of Profitis Ilias and Aghios Simeon offer a panoramic view of the whole island from up high.
There are numerous old paths that set out from this area towards the hills or the sea for those who love trekking.
If you are interested in the hiking trails of Sifnos, please ask us; we would be glad to provide more info.
