“Tranquil, peaceful hilltop oasis!”

Sifnos Elements has 6 rooms, 3 by the pool and 3 a little below. All rooms have private terraces with tables. Rodoula, the manager, is an absolute gem. She helped me coordinate my visit, the cars, breakfast, local attractions, and even offered me a late checkout when I asked if I could hang by the pool for a little while. A+ hospitality My room was clean and modern, with a very comfortable bed. I was able to mostly block out the light, and slept like a rock every night. Super quiet - just the wind :) The breakfast is amazing! There’s a full menu, which you can call or WhatsApp text in advance, along with the time you’d like to eat. Other than breakfast, there’s a few “light bites”, wine and beer available later in the day. I did rent a car for a day and coordinated a pickup from the ferry. The process was very easy - I emailed in advance and voila. The cars are in great shape and very clean. You pick up and return at the hotel (you’ll need to fill up before returning, but there’s a gas station about 10 minutes away). I am a very confident driver and had no issues - the roads are well marked and in great shape unless you get really off the main areas. My google maps worked perfectly everywhere I drove, and the other drivers are polite. A warning (although what follows is part of why I picked Sifnos, so I don’t think it’s a negative, but just FYI). The hotel is a little isolated - it’s not in a town or village. There is no “restaurant” at or near the hotel. If you arrive late and aren’t renting a car, pick something up in the port or bring dinner. I ended up eating the cheese plate for dinner (which I love so no complaints - my ideal dinner actually) but if you’re expecting a full meal, make sure you coordinate a car. There are taxis on the island but not many, so I’m not sure how their availability is. That said, there is a very well maintained path to Faros, which has a beautiful beach and some great restaurants. I would suggest sneakers, and there is some elevation, but the path has shallow steps (NOT ideal for a baby stroller etc) and brings you right to the beach. Maybe 20 minutes? I had diner in Faros and walk back up in the dark - I brought a flashlight with me, and I would not recommend walking back at night without one. Excellent stay and I’ll be back! As an FYI, I traveled as a solo female traveler and felt very safe. I didn’t see much of the other guests, so if you’re looking to make friends, head to the bars in Faros! First two pictures are on my room terrace. Two of the pool, one of the walk down, one of Faros (and the beach cats!), pool at night, and then the rental car so you can see how well maintained it is!

“The most relaxing hotel I have ever stayed!”

The best choice to stay in Sifnos for a relaxing holiday!! Super clean, amazing view, away from disturbing noises. The hosts do their best for an unforgettable experience!

“Excellent small hotel”

Excellent small hotel. Stunning views. Amazing sunrise views from the rooms. Excellent service. Great choice of breakfast. Breakfast is served on the terrace of the room. Nice and quiet location. Amazing pool side with design furniture. Top of the notch service.

We stayed in Room 2 of the 5 rooms that they have. The room has been very well fitted out and tastefully decorated. There is a large patio area where breakfast is served. The breakfast itself is excellent with plenty of choices. The pool is fantastic. Salt water and refreshing. And sparkling clean. The hotel is a five minute drive or bus from Faros. There is a partially paved path down to Faros which is just under a kilometre. A comfortable 14 minutes down and around 20 minutes up. Great views all the way. There is no restaurant on site at the hotel but there are some good choices in Faros or other nearby villages. I’d recommend hiring a car even though we didn’t. We prefer to use the local buses but this branch only runs every couple of hours so needs a bit more planning. Particularly at night. The couple who own the hotel are lovely and provide great recommendations. They will also provide transfers to all of the local destinations for between 15 and 40 euros. We transferred from another hotel at Plato’s Gialos and that was 20euros and a great service. They are planning three additional rooms next winter but I don’t think that will impact the serenity that you experience here at Elements Sifnos Boutique Hotel.
