It's rare to find such a unique gem with in historically rich town - built at the turn of the century. Xenia's house was her grandmother's but has been recently renovated, simply, but beautifully furnished. The house is small, but is great for a couple, or even with a small family or group of friends. We loved being up on the hill with the views, a quite nook. There are quite a number of stairs to walk to Apollonia, but we didn't mind the exercise - especially after all the excellent meals we had ;). My only regret is that we stayed in Sifnos for only 2 1/2 days - the island deserves a week at least to see all the sites. Make sure to rent a car ( or motorbike) Thanks again Xenia!
