My wife and I were looking to "get away from it all" as we both needed a reset. But, I travel a lot for business, and I rather like things well done.
The house was spot on. Although, not over large, it was perfect for my wife and I. The finishings were of high quality, the decor tasteful and was of a high standard. Having everything work well and be harmonious makes a big difference when you are decompressing (for us anyway)
Location: The location was for us perfect. A beach literally at our feet with a sandy cove good for swimming a couple of hundred of meters away and a shortish walk into the village of Vathy with its restaurants. Close enough to weave our way back after a good meal but far enough to keep other holiday makers well away. Vathy itself is more laid back than some of the other villages on Sifnos. This suited us perfectly, but would not suit people looking for nightlife/club scenes
The big attraction in the house is the wide stone veranda/sundeck. The view over the bay is to die for and as the name "sunset house" implies, catches the setting sun beautifully
Teresa, our host, lives in the house beside and has been hugely helpful, communicative, yet not intrusive. She helped us immensely when our ferry was cancelled.
So, why write a fulsome review that will only serve to make this gem of a place more popular? Firstly because the house and Teresa deserve it. She and her husband have put in their hearts and souls into creating something special. Secondly for the gratitude that my wife and I feel for the unwinding and relaxtion that we have found here.
