The Space
With ocean views, this tranquil 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom beach house is new, clean and simple with all the comforts you may need, and only 50 steps from the magnificent sand beach of Plati Gialos. You can be barefoot all day long, if you wish, and never step foot in a car!
Two bedrooms on the main level share a long terrace and bathroom with open floor shower, while the two bedrooms on the lower level share a bathroom also with open floor shower (stays a lot cooler than the main level if you prefer to sleep without air conditioning). We purposefully equip with only hand held showers for water conservation. The top level has the kitchen, dining area that seats 4, living room, and a bathroom, with a veranda overlooking the Aegean Sea on one side, and olive groves and terraced hills on the other. A washing machine is on the lower level and the fully equipped kitchen provides a large refrigerator/freezer, oven/stove top, kettle and espresso machine. Air conditioning/heating units are in each bedroom/living room, beds are Queen COCOMAT beds. The house sleeps 8 people very comfortably but can feel tight in the upstairs inside living area if all are in it at the same time. The veranda seats 10 people.The interior space of the house is 107 square meters or 1085 square feet.
Wi Fi available.

The Neighborhood
Plati Gialos beach annually receives the European Union’s “Blue Flag” award given to the cleanest and safest coastal areas that protect the environment. Situated on the south side of the island, the surrounding hills of Plati Gialos break the prevailing northern summer winds, making it a sanctuary with calm waters on windy days. “Plati Gialos” means “wide seashore” in Greek and is considered one of the longer beaches of the Cyclades islands. Plati Gialos is one of the finest and sought after locations in Sifnos.
The beach is your backyard and you will find anything you may need.
There are many amenities in Plati Gialos: a wide array of quiet traditional and contemporary restaurants, coffee bars, seafood bars, mini food market, traditional bakery with cheese pies and custard pies, little shops for your beach or fashion needs, travel agent, pottery shops, beach chairs and umbrellas, water sports rentals on the beach, car rental agency, and sailing boat rentals at the marina and all this is just a short barefoot walk from the house. There are many hiking trails starting at Plati Gialos, providing ancient footpath access to the rest of the island: the best way to see the island.
White-washed houses with traditional ceramic chimneys and small churches with blue domes, built on hills that lead to sandy beaches, this is Sifnos, the jewel of the Cyclades.
