A charming beautiful home with wonderful views across the hilltop towns of Sifnos

We stayed at Vassia's house for two weeks on our first stay to Sifnos. The pictures do not do the house justice - it's all arranged an inner courtyard with some beautiful plants. The bedrooms are off that which makes it feel like an old Roman villa. The rooms have great charm, with lots of antiques and lovely furniture but designed to be very practical (a very well equipped kitchen and an almost too-strong shower!). The patio at the back is lovely in the evening as the sun sets across the hills in the distance. The house itself is a four minute walk to any car park - but that's standard across all of Sifnos where most of the towns are pedestrianised. It was nice in the evening to wander into Apolonia (a five min walk) to get a pizza and then just head on back to the house. The local grocery shop does delivery which we didn't end up using but would be helpful if you're slightly older or with kids, in case you're lugging back big bags of shopping. Overall, Sifnos is beautiful with terrific food and lovely beaches. We most loved the more wild ones in the north of the island. Vassia's place was the perfect base for our time there - we shall be back!

Highly recommend this house

We had a wonderful 3 week stay here the house was super - set in a peaceful part of the island but walking distance to Apollonia and Artemonas. Beautiful view of the sunrise from the terrace. Vassia was extremely kind and went above and beyond to make the holiday with three Young children as easy as possible. Highly recommend this place.

About the host

Hosted by Vassia Athanasoula

I have grown up in Athens, Greece, and studied Architecture in the Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne , Switzerland. I visited Sifnos almost every summer since 1979, building strong emotions for the place... I managed to buy and renovate this traditional house in 2009. I live in Athens and I have three wonderful kids working in Athens, Zurich and Paris. I speak English, French, Italian and Greek ( and you will notice that everyone on the island can speak some English ).

Why they chose this property

Being a city child from Athens I missed a place of 'origin'; I always felt a bond to this island and I wanted to become part of it, to 'adopt' it. I also feel admiration for the power of vernacular architecture which is so simple and strong in the Cyclades... one can never repeat this in a contemporary building.
The neighbourhood , where the house is situated , is a traditional village neighbourhood where very few tourists are found , except for long term house owners . It is far away from the noisy bars and stores, while still so close on foot. The locals are very friendly and discreet , as long as the renters respect their lives . Small houses are all around . But the biggest privilege of this neighbourhood is that you can walk to all the shops and restaurants of both Apollonia and Artemonas for all your needs ( food , shopping , pharmacy , tourist police , bars etc ) at all hours of the day . You can even order food or make the super market shopping and have it delivered to the house .

What makes this property unique

This house is very easy to live in ( especially charming in June or September ) because everything is in walking distance! Also, although it is in the village, it is one of the few properties which have an open view towards the nearby villages and the sea! The terrace has full privacy which is rarely found inside the villages ; there are no noisy bars nearby , yet , at the same time , the "live" spot of the island is so close by. All the pedestrian small paths are kept very clean.
You can reach Sifnos island only by boat . From here , you can easily visit other islands of the Cyclades like Serifos or Milos ( day trip back & forth ) , or Paros , Antiparos , Folegandros , Ios , Santorini etc .
Although a car cannot reach the house directly , all means of transportation are very near the house . The bus stop is 2' away on foot and , if you have a car , you can access the house either by the Ano Petali communal parking or by parking your car at the "Gefiraki" below ( on the street ) and then walk 2' uphill . Coming from Apollonia or from Artemonas , there is also the option of traditional small pathways on foot.
