Verina Astra

We stayed here for 3 nights, sadly it should have been more. The hotel is a tad remote, but we rented a car at the port and getting there was easy. We had the room above the kitchen(with the giant terrace) but it wasn’t noisy. As it was October, we could sleep with the windows open and it was lovely. Our room was perfect, a good size with great couch area separate from the bedroom. We had the fantastic breakfast a few times on our patio. We had the cutest little black and white cat stop by for visits a couple times a day(we may have encouraged this a bit). We took advantage of the great walking trails that Sifnos has and took the path from behind Bostani to Kastro for a lovely seaside walk. The staff were all very helpful and happy to assist. The main restaurant had just closed for the season, so we didn’t get to try it… next time. My only complaint was the pool, it wasn’t heated(first world problem). Given the abundance of solar hot water heaters on the island, I would think it would be quite easy to attach one to the pool, just enough to take the chill off in the shoulder seasons. The property is but also isn’t remote. But I think you need a car to really take advantage of Sifnos or at least efficiently take advantage. We found a little store close to Artemonas and purchased the usual hotel supplies(snacks and sodas) on our trips to and fro. We can’t wait to go back.

This is one of the most wonderful hotels we have ever stayed in. In a wonderful position high above the Aegean, overlooking a beautiful little blue-domed church and clear turquoise water, it oozes charm. The suites are effortlessly chic but unfussy with comfortable bedrooms and plenty of indoor and outdoor sitting space, providing privacy and tranquility and stunning views across to Paros. There is an infinity pool with very comfortable seating ( though shade is not very easy to find). The staff are unfailingly charming and attentive. The complimentary breakfast, which can be taken either in the small restaurant area or on the terrace of your room, offers a good range of delicious goodies. (A little way down the hill is Bostani restaurant, which is separately run but affiliated to the hotel. We dined here once and the food was excellent, though we found the service did not match the quality of the restaurant’s aspirations). Stay at the hotel and skip the restaurant and you will not be disappointed.

I love a hotel up high. With views of the Med. Tick! This place is stunning, loved the design of it and our room (Centaurus) was gorgeous, I really liked the open plan ness of it as made it feel large and spacious. Lovely shower but at least had separate toilet! very comfy bed and lovely terrace. And the views! got up super early to catch the sunrise too as so lovely. We ate here one night and very nice food. I also took the detox spa package for 3 days and all treatments excellent.

Perfect place to relax, ideal for a honeymoon Staff all delightful, very nicely done rooms and suites, and the pool area gives wonderful views and a fresh breeze. On site restaurant Bostani is definitely worth a visit at least one evening you stay. We had very nice deep tissue massages at the spa too.

There is nothing to find fault with this excellent hotel. Amazing views from everywhere including the bed. Lovely staff. Good breakfast. Nice pool area. Excellent attention to detail and spacious rooms with own lounge area. Good but steep walks to sea for swimming and interesting Kastro.

What a beautiful peaceful place! Loved our extremely comfortable rooms which were wonderfully designed with everything we needed! The views were so calming and we enjoyed great walks, although coming back was very uphill! All the staff were helpful and friendly. The only thing I would of liked to of seen more of was a better selection of fruit and juices at breakfast.
