Beautiful, modern, spacious, well-equipped home with exceptional views. Exceptional in all respects.
We rented this home for two weeks in September to be home base for our family during our stay on Sifnos. The home boasts spacious living areas; four large bedrooms; four full bathrooms; large full kitchen with reasonable sized dining table; A/C; and numerous outdoor patios with exceptional views of the bay, mountains and town of Kamares. Overall, it is even better in person than it appears in the photos. Upstairs are two large bedrooms, two full bathrooms, kitchen and large living area. The two downstairs bedrooms are actually separate apartments, accessed by the front stairway located off the main patio at the front of the house, so it was ideal for us because we were a party of adult couples. The home is ideally located only about a hundred yards uphill from the main part of Kamares, so shopping, restaurants and the ferry are all a short walk. The only word of caution I would give is that the hundred yards is virtually all uphill, so you need to be capable of climbing steps and/or walking up fairly steep roads several times a day, unless you plan to rent a car or scooter. That said, believe me - we hardly gave a thought to our daily climbs back up to the house, as the home was so wonderful. Lastly, the host, Xenia, and her husband were terrific. They were very responsive throughout the booking process, provided transportation for us upon our arrival and departure, walked us through the house upon arrival and went way above and beyond by leaving us with a basket of fruit, crackers, jams and cookies, as well as several bottles of wine, water, beer and soft drinks in the fridge. Overall, this was probably the best experience we have ever had with a vacation rental property, hands down...and we've rented a LOT of properties! If you're coming to Sifnos, rent this property! You won't regret it...
