Sifnos "Sofia apartments" sea view

Location with amazing view Self catering The owner afforded us privacy but checked with us by WhatsApp whether we needed towels etc

Kitchen equipment functional but rather basic.

A secluded and peaceful place with a stunning view. The spacious terrace above the sea is perfect for spending the whole day. The house has all the amenities you need, and Sofia is a wonderful host.

All great

You can influence wind but that is why you have great view (and no mosquitos)

- Location near Faros is convenient, also close to Apollonia (groceries etc.) - Great uninterrupted views: you’re very close to the sea (it’s facing east, so great for sunrise/morning light) - Comfortable bed - Overall, excellent value (at least off season in early May).

- Staircase leading from the parking area to the house doesn’t have a railing, and isn’t lit at night, which isn’t very safe - AC unit (which also does heating) is in the living room – as others mentioned, there is NO AC unit in the bedroom (so we were cold at night in May, and I expect other guests would be very warm in the summer) - Overall, very little equipment to cook and some basics missing: no hand soap, no kitchen towels (I had to ask for some), no dish drying rack, poorly positioned power outlets (see photo - quite risky if you’re also using the stove!), very old looking stove (burners were all very rusty). We didn’t cook at all in the end except to make Greek coffee and toast bread - Bathroom is basic: only one bar for drying towels (so space for only towel), shower with plastic curtains (so easy to flood everywhere unless you keep the curtain INSIDE) - Access is via a small, narrow road, with no signage until you get to the property (use google maps) - adding a sign at the left turn from the main road would be helpful Overall, this place has a lot of potential given the sea-facing location but would need some significant upgrades and better equipment overall.
