About this cottage rental
“Petalaki” cosy cottage is located at the top of the strategically situated village of Ano Petali, - right at the center of the long stretch of the island’s main settlements starting from Apollonia, to Ano Petali and Artemonas. It is the ideal spot for those who like to go everywhere by foot, or those who wish to experience the real Sifnos. Accessible only via walking through the traditional white paved footpaths, it is a short stroll from the main town where all restaurants, super markets, bars and cafes are located and a slightly longer walk to Artemonas, one of the prettiest villages of the island.
To reach the house by car, one can get to the free Petali village parking area which is 5 kms from the port, and a 5 minute walk to the cottage.
The cottage
Petalaki is a two bedroom traditional home that can comfortably sleep up to 5 persons. Originally built in 1905, it has thick stone whitewashed walls and wooden beam ceilings. It has just been renovated in April 2017, yet it has kept its traditional personality by retaining the interiors layout of the original island living - where dining areas were kept separate from sleeping and relaxing areas for practical reasons such as dirt and noise minimization.
Providing all modern comforts with a mix of old and new design elements and beautiful calming colors, it is sure to offer its guests a super cozy and inviting living space, spread over two separate buildings:
Building no1: Wooden floors throughout, with one double bedroom, and a two singles bedroom. Spacious living room featuring a sofa with a 1,90 x 90cm bed mattress that can comfortably sleep an extra person. Small office space with free wi-fi. Air conditioning. Veranda with sitting area and an amazing view.
Building no 2: Tiled floors, dining area with dining table and air conditioning. Fully equipped concrete kitchen with refrigerator, small oven and washing machine. Concrete bathroom with shower and hairdryer.
(**Please note, that to visit the bathroom and kitchen, one needs to walk out of the main building where the bedrooms and living room are, and step into the building next door.)
Petalaki’s front yard boasts a small sitting area nesting right underneath the church of Ai Yiannis where the children gather to play in the afternoons. Ideal for experiencing the authentic life of the village and being social with nearby locals who will always say hello!

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!

Staying in this unique and tasteful house made our trip to Sifnos really unforgettable and magical. The house has an absolute fantastic location with outstanding views of the surrounding landscape and towns and a majestic church. I don't think I ever stayed in such a beautiful spot or felt at home somewhere so quickly.
From Ano Petali you can easily walk to the nearby town for buses and stores, start one of the various trails but also enjoy the peace and quiet of this special adres.
Besides all these great aspects of the house, it is the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the house that made us fall in love with the spot. And this this is also very much due to the very kind and helpful host. My teenage daughters and I really feel blessed that we experienced a holiday in such a wonderful spot. Thank you Xenia!
