“location, little church in property, million dollar view from the private balcony, and most of all the hosts, mrs.Maria and her son Kostas, amazing and wonderful people.”

“The host and his family were very kind. They have a small garden where they grow apricots, grapes, and others. When I was there, they offered me apricots every afternoon. I even took some to Athens . The property is clean and the bathroom is the biggest I have ever seen in Greece. The area is super quiet and exactely what I was looking for to finish my trip in Greece after 3 weeks of island- hopping. If you are looking for place to relax, this is it. But if you do not like to walk, you will need a car or a bike. I walked everywhere.I found it most relaxing. The views are spectacular. One does not absorb such beauty by riding in the car.” Read more

“Great experience! The owner Kostas bent over backwards to make my stay there as accommodating as possible.”

“Very comfortable and peaceful place. Kostas it’s a very good host, he was very kind and he was willing to help me and he also gave me some suggestions. I recomend this place!”

“We absolutely loved our stay at Smaragda studios. Kostas and his wife are the best hosts ever, helping out where they can and always up for a friendly chat. They even offered us to take some of the vegetables, fruits and herbs they grow around the house. The place itself is located in the middle of the olive tree fields between Platis Gialos and Appollonia, both villages just a short scooter ride away. There‘s also a bus stop just outside the premises but it‘s easier to get around with a vehicle. Thanks to Smaragda for a wonderful week on Sifnos :) we will be back.” Read more

“Lovely garden (growing delicious tomatoes by the way) at the front and great view from the patio attached to the room. Kostas was very helpful about finding transport, recommendations of what to see in Sifnos and answering any questions promptly via WhatsApp. The location may seem a bit out of the way but there is a bus stop right outside or it is 1/2hr walk to the beach (Faros) and 1hr walk to the island’s centre Apollonia with several villages only 20min walk from there. ” Read more

“Secluded yet quite central to travel around the island. The place is quaintly beautiful with an amazing farm and the family of amazing cats :) The host Costas made our stay memorable by going beyond and making sure that everyday everything was perfect for us. I can go back again just to try the hot chillies !!!” Read more

“It is a wonderful place! Konstantinos is the best host ever, he makes you feel like staying with friends! For every day he had a good advise on where to go, he helped with getting around whenever he could. Also the rooms are very nice; very clean. It is a very quiet and peaceful place with a big garden and friendly cats.. It's the perfect place to stay! You should know that there xou are not located directly in a village but there are busses, nice beaches are not far and to some places you can walk. There is a kitchen but it is not equipped for really cooking meals there. These are just things you should be aware of, and then xou can spend perfect vacations there! Highly recommended!” Read more

“My host, Kostas, went out of his way to make my stay a memorable one, not only with his welcoming words but also his many kindnesses. I found gifts of his mother's delicious preserves waiting, plus grapes from the garden and Kostas also offered to drive me to various places if needed. The situation right in the countryside made for absolute peace and the convenience of a bus stop at the bottom of the drive made getting around simple.” Read more

“I have never experienced before such a level of hospitality. Kostas has helped me with everything, I really felt welcomed. Thank you for this wonderful week. ”
