All reviews are more than true - there is not much more to add. In general, the island is beautiful and vacant of tourist in the early season (we visited Sifnos in May), the hiking possibilities are great - even with a 2-year old toddler, and the bay of Vathi is a perfect spot for enjoying relaxing days on the beach without any distraction, but with the comfort to choose from at least 5 restaurants and two mini-markets. Alexandra's place is only reached by walking over the beach (there are no cars around), and it has an astonishing view over the bay from the terrace where we enjoyed our breakfast (and sometimes our lunch). The apartment is anything else but worn, and has everything for daily needs. Also the sand carried into the rooms was no problem, because Alexandra took care that it was removed every day. She even offered us using the washing machine which was very helpful if you travel with your toddler and stay for 10 days. Alexandra made our stay perfect and unforgettable, because she gave us such a warm welcome and made us feel like home due to so many more or less little somethings which we didn't expect but enjoyed fully (like home-made marmalade, a bottle of wine, home-made cookies, an aperitif, coffee... just to name a few)! We normally don't visit placed twice because there is so much more to see and to discover - but Alexandra's place on Sifnos is for sure worth another visit.
