It’s hard to write a review that will do this place justice. We really had the best time ever and it was exactly what we were expecting and more.
Berid, Paris and also their co-host Marianna are probably the best hosts we have had on Air bnb. Always available, responsive but never intrusive.
We were travelling and island hopping with our one year old baby and had spent a while looking for places that gave us the right flexibility. While the baby napped we were able to sunbathe and take a siesta on the sun loungers or enjoy a beer right on the water at night and enjoy our time without having to dine out for amazing views.
Two great beaches either side of the apt and a well stocked local shop meant we didn’t have to travel if we didn’t want to. We also met lots of young families which was great for our one year old who was able to play with other children everyday.
We thought we would be sharing a bedroom with our son, but there is a seperate entrance to the lounge and another to the master bedroom/kitchen/bathroom, which was perfect. This would be great for a family with up to 3 children sleeping in the lounge.
The kitchen whilst small had everything you needed to cook family meals and lots of beautiful local pottery. Everything has been tastefully done and is super high quality ie linen/beach towels etc. The apt has also really well equipped with all the essentials like basic cooking supplies, heaps of cleaning products, extra bin bags, even nice toiletries to use. All of this makes a massive difference.
There is a restaurant next door to the apartment, but it never felt too noisy and you couldn’t hear it at all from inside the apt.
We explored Vathy, Apollonia, Kastro all 15-20 mins and with a small child the perfect distances for exploring. There is also an awesome walk to Christopogi which we did most evenings and local surrounding tavernas, The island is stunning and we ran out of time. Next time we will be hiring a baby sitter to enjoy cocktails on the roof top bars in Apollonia, but even Cantina which is super cool and trendy and didn’t have a high chair was very kid friendly and made our experience one to remember.
If you can find a slot to book here do it! The Boathouse and Sifnos are just stunning and we highly recommend.
