Herronisos vacation rentals

Nice place, helpful staff, convenient location near the port.

The house had the most amazing view. Every morning drinking coffee and eating Greek pastries overlooking the ocean was incredible. You can’t beat it. Sofia was so accommodating and let us have an early check in and late check out. Even when we had problems with the boat and car, Sofia helped us navigate check in. The house is a 5 minute drive to the beach and the farthest we had to drive was 20 minutes to the port.

Blue Calm Villa is a charming, peaceful paradise with beautiful views. This cozy, clean, updated home was so much fun to experience. The large porch space was just as amazing as the remodeled inside. Stylianos could not have been a better host. He and his family live next door. We enjoyed talking with him and learning about the area. The delicious homemade bread and olive oil he brought over was an unexpected nice surprise. He certainly knows how to make his guests feel welcome. This place was an all-around great find!

Imagine sitting under an olive tree on Sifnos taking in a stunning 180 degree view of the Aegean sea and three or more of the surrounding islands. Rania and Christos are the most gracious of hosts and welcomed us with fresh eggs from their hens, olives from their tree, and tomatoes, peppers and herbs from their garden. They were extremely helpful with all kinds of information about the island, which they have lived on for 20 years. Besides 2 different patios to enjoy the views, the accommodations were thoughtfully appointed, and provided plenty of room. The location was well situated for us. We had a rental car and took in several of the recommended hikes and other highlights of the island. We wouldn't think of staying at any other place on Sifnos.

Xenia's place was just lovely. Simultaneously simple and luxurious, Xenia's cottage is ideally located just off the beaten path midway between Apollonia and Artemonas (our favorite town!), with beautiful views and a couple of outdoor spaces to enjoy as much as the perfectly furnished inside. Aside from being fully stocked with the regular necessities – fully equipped kitchen, really pretty cups and glasses, plates and paper goods, it has everything you need from sunscreen to maps to local jam and biscuits and honey to reading lights. There's a really decent hair dryer. Xenia has really good taste and doesn't skimp on quality: the cottage retains traditional Sifnian design touches, yet she's freshened it up for today's lifestyle. It's sweet and lovely and thoughtful and tastefully decorated, with welcome surprises like the original wallpaper lining the dining room cupboards. I'd rented the cottage for my sister and me, and when a friend from Athens joined us, it wasn't a problem–there was plenty of room for all of us to have our privacy and to enjoy time together. Xenia is a great communicator, anticipating our needs and responding quickly when anything came up. She arranged a taxi and horse (horse!) to carry our luggage the short walk from the parking lot. She left us maps and a guide to the island, to which I would add our favorite restaurant/taverna was Nero & Alati (water & salt) in Platis Gialos. An unpretentious updated take on a traditional taverna, run by the son of the founder who trained as a chef in London and returned to the island to cook with organic produce from his father's farm (Narlis Farm, one of our favorite days was the cooking class at the farm). A lovely spot for dinner was Mosiac in Artemonas. We also LOVED Lembesis pottery, at the top of Artemonas. There's my long review. I could say more, but basically I just want to go back to Xenias sweet cottage!
