Mania's house in Katavati is just wonderful. Located in the middle of one of the island's most beautiful and central villages - really an extension of Apollonia - the home's position is situated to take advantage of every view and temperature variation. The house has THREE patios, one interior, one facing north, and one facing west, as well as a roof which affords a 360 view of the island. The four bedrooms are lovely, and well provided with comfortable beds and amenities. There are two bathrooms, one in the main house with shower/bath, and one with shower in a small space just outside the front door - water pressure is perfect. Perhaps the best part of the house for us was the location - steps away from a small market, and a five minute walk from the island's two largest, well-stocked markets. We took the easy walk down Steno into Apollonia every evening to take advantage of all the fun.
Mania's house suited us perfectly because it is an entirely genuie Sifnos house and grounds with decorating touches that reflect a real family history. It is our kind of place because we are visitors that prefer to blend in with the local Sifnian environment and live as authentically as we can on the island. Thank you Mania for all your kindness and hospitality!
