This exceptional property has it all: a great layout and bedrooms with terraces and views of the pool/Aegean/countryside, an incredibly spacious deck both off the main house and around the wonderful pool, and dozens of windows to allow tons of light and great island breezes all throughout.
We rented the main house and one of the second houses above it; walking between the two was super simple. We used the main house for a big party of friends who came from the U.S., and the outside dining and entertainment areas off the main house came with lots of chairs and tables. The pool and deck are exceptional, and we spent several evening gazing at the stunning views of the coast.
The house is furnished in the Cyclades style, and feels very warm/welcoming and very comfortable. The houses have washing machines and dishwashers, and it’s an easy drive into the main village for shopping/groceries.
Simos the host was incredibly helpful with arrangements for bringing in a chef from Athens, for boat and car rentals, and for restaurant recommendations. And his manager, Maria, was an excellent guide to the house – and the many keys needed for opening all the doors.
WiFi can be a bit spotty at the big house, but that probably comes with being on such a low-key island. Speaking of which: Serifos’s mountaintop Chora is fantastic and the island is full of pristine, mostly empty beaches — and it’s one well worth keeping a secret.
