We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hillside stone house. Christina is a fantastic host: genuinely kind, helpful and knowledgeable and she went out of her way to answer any questions and help us settle in. The gift of a basket of peaches and traditional Sifnian biscuits was a very sweet touch.
The view from the terrace out across the Aegean is stunning with the most magical sunrises imaginable. The addition of comfortable and elegant outdoor furniture made evening aperitifs overlooking the ocean a real treat.
The house itself is great: simple, well equipped and beautifully designed. The location is perfect - a five minute walk to the pretty village of Artemonas with its excellent tavernas and only a few more to vibrant Apollonia. The nearby swimming spot off the rocks at Poulati is one of the best on the island - but be prepared to earn your swim after a steep descent down some rocky steps to get there! It’s also only a couple of minutes’ walk from a lovely, family run supermarket which stocks excellent fruit and veg.
All in all we couldn’t have wished for a better host or base from which to explore the amazing Sifnos and can’t wait until next time. Unreservedly and fully recommended!
