Cozy family friendly traditional village house with sea view - ΑΜΑ 00000294156
“Welcome to your dream getaway on the enchanting island of Sifnos! Nestled in the picturesque village of Ano Petali, our traditional 100 year old Cycladic house offers an authentic village experience, a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in the serene pace of Greek island life and simplicity .
This cute 84-square-meter home features two double bedrooms, a room with three beds, a comfortable living room, two bathrooms, and a fully equipped kitchen. Friendly & traditionally decorated , it is ideally situated between Apollonia ( capital ) and Artemonas , and so easy to live in , since everything is in walking distance through picturesque village pathways ; one can , therefore , be near the center and yet in a quite spot , enjoying simple life !
Just steps away from the village center and conveniently approachable by car or bus, our home allows you to explore nearby beaches with ease. It is not directly accessible by car; one has to walk uphill for about 4' from the two car accesses (road or village parking ).
The real gem is the stunning terrace, offering panoramic views of the sunrise & moonrise over the Aegean Sea and the timeless beauty of Sifnos. This terrace ( as well as a rooftop terrace ) is where the outdoor sitting and eating mostly takes place . Perfect for families, groups of friends, and even your little ones or pets, this peaceful retreat is designed for relaxation and mindfulness , because of its' privileged fully private terrace with an open view towards the nearby villages and the sea ! Buses going to all the beaches stop very near , and so is the parking , in case one rents a car .
The house sleeps 6 , as well as a baby ( cot, high chair etc ) . It is composed of a living room ( that can turn into a 1 bed bedroom, if needed ), a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom with shower (bath 1), a 3 bed bedroom (bed. 1), a 1 bed bedroom - that can turn into a 2 bed or a queen bed bedroom, (bed. 2), and a studio , which is an independent bedroom with double bed (bed. 3) & an "en suite" bathroom (bath 2). A patio with an open air shower (bath 1) is in the center of the house and is protected from the wind on days with "meltemia" (Aegean sea northern wind) . The house is decorated in the traditional way - a vernacular rural atmosphere - and all modern touch ups respect this , thus creating a cozy tasteful ambiance .
Experience the magic of Sifnos from the comfort of our serene island retreat and enjoy simplicity , calm and nature !"

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Vassia Athanasoula
I have grown up in Athens, Greece, and studied Architecture in the Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne , Switzerland. I visited Sifnos almost every summer since 1979, building strong emotions for the place... I managed to buy and renovate this traditional house in 2009. I live in Athens and I have three wonderful kids working in Athens, Zurich and Paris. I speak English, French, Italian and Greek ( and you will notice that everyone on the island can speak some English ).
Why they chose this property
Being a city child from Athens I missed a place of 'origin'; I always felt a bond to this island and I wanted to become part of it, to 'adopt' it. I also feel admiration for the power of vernacular architecture which is so simple and strong in the Cyclades... one can never repeat this in a contemporary building.
The neighbourhood , where the house is situated , is a traditional village neighbourhood where very few tourists are found , except for long term house owners . It is far away from the noisy bars and stores, while still so close on foot. The locals are very friendly and discreet , as long as the renters respect their lives . Small houses are all around . But the biggest privilege of this neighbourhood is that you can walk to all the shops and restaurants of both Apollonia and Artemonas for all your needs ( food , shopping , pharmacy , tourist police , bars etc ) at all hours of the day . You can even order food or make the super market shopping and have it delivered to the house .

What makes this property unique
This house is very easy to live in ( especially charming in June or September ) because everything is in walking distance! Also, although it is in the village, it is one of the few properties which have an open view towards the nearby villages and the sea! The terrace has full privacy which is rarely found inside the villages ; there are no noisy bars nearby , yet , at the same time , the "live" spot of the island is so close by. All the pedestrian small paths are kept very clean.
You can reach Sifnos island only by boat . From here , you can easily visit other islands of the Cyclades like Serifos or Milos ( day trip back & forth ) , or Paros , Antiparos , Folegandros , Ios , Santorini etc .
Although a car cannot reach the house directly , all means of transportation are very near the house . The bus stop is not far on foot and , if you have a car , you can access the house either by the Ano Petali communal parking or by parking your car at the "Gefiraki" below ( on the street ) and then walk around 4' uphill . Coming from Apollonia or from Artemonas , there is also the option of traditional small pathways on foot.
