It was a lovely stay at Sifis! The staff is super friendly and communication was great! My room was clean, the aircon worked and the bed was comfortable. They clean and change your towel every other day which suits me perfectly that it is not overdone. If you want to prepare your own meals that is definitely possible. There is also a Nespresso mashing and a water boiler. The location is perfect right on the beach and the area is great for walking. Overall the nearby area is calm but if you’re a light sleeper bring your earplugs just in case.

Very nice apartment, comfortable and clean, with an excellent location right opposite the (only) sandy beach. All staff, including not just the owners but even the cleaners, were friendly and welcoming. Slightly more expensive than some alternatives, which reflects the location, but two factors make it excellent value: it has its own sunbeds on the beach which are free to guests. When you consider that other providers charge around 30 euros a day for a set of 2 beach beds with umbrella, this offers serious value. From these sunbeds you can order food and drink delivered to your seat from the best restaurant on the beach (in my opinion). Secondly, the wifi is quick and reliable. Based on 3 previous stays in Paleochora this is by no means guaranteed in alternative properties.

Absolutely lovely. Panos and Christina are extremely lovely hosts. The rooms & property are very clean. Nothing extravagant but a very lovely little place to lay one’s head after being at the beach a simple walk across the street. Sifis provides beach towels and they have lounge chairs on beach that you can use for free if you tell the staff you are staying with Sifis. The easy to walk to restaurants are delicious and Panos/Christina will gladly make excellent recommendations. We came with our two kids (ages 14 & 11) and because of the proximity to shops, beach and restaurants- we had no worry letting them go off on their own. We only just checked out of Sifis today and I am already hoping to return next year. I will absolutely arrange to stay at Sifis. Thanks!

The staff were awesome and very understanding of a whiney puppy. You can't beat the location, literally across the street from the beach with great food options nearby. The only thing that brings this review down is the beds. The beds were horrible, it was like trying to sleep on a very hard box spring with no mattress. If nothing else, a hotel should really invest in great beds.
