Seeing the online photos of the incredible location of Aggelis Villa and the perfection of the little villa does not prepare you for how this place will touch your heart.
If you are seeking an environment that is peaceful and extraordinarily beautiful, and wish to encounter genuine human kindness, I urge you to visit Aggelis Villa, Sifnos. You will not be disappointed.
The villa is perched on the edge of infinity, with yawning cliffs and endless ocean on one side and wildflower meadows, olive tree groves and lofty mountains on the other. The days and nights are utterly tranquil. On the sea side you can hear the awe-inspiring wind and waves. On the mountain side you can hear blissful buzzing of bees, soft tinkling sheep bells, a distant donkey braying or a rooster crowing. You are immersed in a kind of “Sifnos symphony,” which is mesmerising and soothing to the soul.
Our hosts Aggelis and Margarita and their son Nikos are the epitome of hospitality. They are very warm hearted, helpful people and they made us feel truely welcome from the moment we arrived.
Aggelis met us by the roadside, took my bags, and led us along the beautiful paved path to our villa where Margerita greeted us on the veranda with ouzo, crusty bread and her homemade goat cheese and freshly baked biscuits.
For the next six days we enjoyed complete privacy and we happily accepted polite invitations from our hosts at various times to enjoy some conversation over coffee or a cool drink in the shade of an olive tree. These lovely moments were highlights for us, and just some of the many memories we will always treasure.
The villa is spotlessly clean with fresh supplies of linen and everything else we needed. Our hosts provided an extremely generous supply of homemade cake, tea, coffee, eggs, biscuits, jam, honey, butter, bottled water etc in the kitchen.
The location of the villa was very convenient for us. We only used a taxi from the wharf at Kameras to the villa and back, which was 18€ each way. Except for those two trips by taxi, we explored the whole island without the use of a car.
We caught the bus from the end of the villa’s path, or walked into the nearest town about 20 minutes away and caught busses from there. The maximum we paid on a bus anywhere was 1.80€ each. It was easy, fun and we could go everywhere stress free. We also enjoyed walking some of the amazing trails on Sifnos.
There are not enough stars to appropriately rate Aggelis Villa, Sifnos! It is a little piece of heaven and we are very grateful to have had the good fortune to experience it.
