Sifnaika Konakia -Traditional Settlements

Looking for accommodation on Sifnos, look no further than Sifnaika Konakia.A short walk to Kamares port,beach, shops, bars and restaurants. Rooms are spacious and furnished to the highest standards with views of the sea and mountains. The grounds and gardens are well maintained with a few sun loungers. The highlight however is Maria's breakfast on your balcony or terrace.

Maria’s is the quintessential Greek hotel with beautiful rooms, homemade breakfasts, smiles, information and warmth oozing from her soul! We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay at the easily accessible, wonderfully situated establishment.

The accommodation is in a fantastic location close to the port. Great restaurants within walking distance. Easy to get around the island. The people are friendly and keen to help you enjoy their island. The accommodation host Maria is the most friendly and helpful person with nothing too much trouble.Her breakfasts are excellent and her baking exceptional. I cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough.

We had a wonderful stay, the grounds are so beautiful and the breakfast was delicious! We will definitely be back!

There aren’t enough words to describe how wonderful our stay was at Sifnaika Konakia. We booked a last minute holiday island hopping in Greece, with Sifnos being our last stop before heading to Athens and then home. This was our first visit to the island of Sifnos, it certainly won’t be the last! We arrived by ferry and made the easy 10 minute walk to Sifnaika which is on the main (very quiet) road from the port to the capital Apollonia. When we arrived we rang the bell and the wonderful Maria appeared and showed us to our room. As soon as we walked in we were blown away by the amazing view. The room is beautiful and thoughtfully designed, immaculately clean and so wonderfully peaceful. Maria explained a bit about the island, the procedures at Sifnaika and some practicalities (Wi-Fi, air con etc). The friendliest check in ever! The rooms are equipped with large fridge, plates and cutlery and a kettle. The tap water is drinkable. The bathroom was spotless and maintained as such throughout our stay with great quality towels, good shower and endless hot water. There’s a large balcony with a table and chairs, deckchair and stunning views of the bay and hillside opposite. Breakfast is an absolute feast of home made local delicacies. The excellent system works so well; each morning you go down to Maria’s kitchen, and she tells you what she has available today. Wonderful homemade pastries, cakes, bread, eggs, fresh fruit salads, muesli, tea & coffee etc. As well as ham and cheese and extra little surprises. There’s no waste as you have exactly what you want, we had a lot as it was so delicious, it kept us going all day! The location couldn’t be better, 10 minutes stroll to the ferry, beach and some wonderful places to eat, yet still perfectly peaceful. We hired scooters for a couple of days from the nearby rental place. Alternatively there are bus services across the island to the capital and other beaches. Maria and the team are absolutely amazing, they never seem to stop working and clearly take pride in getting everything so right. They have gone above and beyond to create such an amazing place and have obviously put in so much effort to make this wonderful place! so special. My only regret is that we were here for just 6 nights; we will definitely stay longer next time we are at our new favourite place in Greece! Sifnos is an absolutely beautiful island. If you like things peaceful, stunning scenery, great food and friendly people this is definitely the place for you.

Excellent place to stay. Very good breakfast, chickpeas for Sunday lunch and a short walk into town and the beach.

Our hostess was so welcoming. She had a delicious welcoming dessert and a lovely farewell homemade jam. Beautiful grounds around the hotel. Spacious room and lovely patio. Delicious, large breakfast every morning. This is the place to stay in Sifnos!

Maria and her team couldn’t do more for you. Starting off with being collected from the port even though it’s only a 500 meter walk he’s so nice. Breakfasts are fantastic with choice of fresh fruits and freshly baked products, real great start to the day. A great base for exploring the whole island we will be back!

It was our second stay in this green and peaceful oasis in kamares. This little hotel is extremely cosy. Large rooms decorated in the traditional sifnian style. Each room has its own cosy terrace. What is exceptional is the quality of the welcoming and hosting of maria the owner. Breakfast is plentiful and varied. We will come back. Thank you for our beautiful holiday.
