My wife and I and our three daughters spent a wonderful week in Vassia's house in the middle of June, 2016. The location in Ano Petali, was perfect for us. It was really easy to walk, about 10 minutes depending on mood and temperature, between the house and Appolonia (the "capital" of Sifnos) where we spent most of the evenings because of the many excellent restaurants and cafés, and, in the other direction, a comfortable 5 minute walk to the other large village, Artemonas with not as many, but equally nice restaurants. After an evening out it was very nice to get back "home" to the quiet area, and the great view of Artemonas, the valley below, the big garden just under the terrace, all the beautiful churches, mountains and, in the distance, the sea. The house itself was more than enough for the five of us, very pleasant and had everything we needed. One afternoon when we didn't have the energy to go to one of the restaurants to watch that days most interesting football-game ( Euro 2016), we stayed at home and saw it on the internet instead, which worked fine. We got great help from the friendly mr Kostas on our day of arriving, and when we left, with taking us and our luggage, and many good suggestions from Vassia for excursions to the beaches and other places. I believe that it is also a good starting point for trekking around the island, if that is your thing. So if you like Sifnos for all that it offers, I think you will like this house. We would like to come back.
