Are there villas for rent in Sifnos?

Yes — mostly small private houses and a handful of pool villas rather than large estate compounds. Our shortlist focuses on verified partner stays you can book from Discover Cyclades, including Filadaki Villas, Villa Olivia Clara and Mavroudis House.

Where should I stay in a Sifnos villa?

Apollonia or Artemonas if food and walking matter most. Platis Gialos for sand and tavernas. Kamares if ferry logistics come first. Kastro for atmosphere if you can handle steps.

Do Sifnos villas have private pools?

Some do (notably purpose-built villas like Olivia Clara), but many excellent whole-house stays trade the pool for a terrace, garden and kitchen. Check each listing — Sifnos beaches and coves are close enough that a pool is optional for many guests.

Do I need a car for a Sifnos villa stay?

Strongly recommended outside central Apollonia. Beaches, pottery villages and ferry connections are short drives apart, and buses are limited. Compare agencies on our Sifnos car hire page.

How do I get to Sifnos?

There is no airport. Ferries from Piraeus take roughly 2.5 to 5 hours depending on the boat, with western Cyclades links via Serifos and Milos. Live schedules are on our Athens to Sifnos ferry page.

Is a villa better than a hotel in Sifnos?

For couples or small groups who cook, stay a week, or want evening quiet after Apollonia dinners — yes. Hotels still win for zero-friction short stays near the beach or port. Many travellers mix both across a longer island-hop.

Sifnos is the Cyclades food island — and the place where a villa or whole house beats a hotel room. You get a kitchen for market produce, a terrace for late dinners after Apollonia, and space to decompress between Chrysopigi, Vathi and the pottery lanes of Artemonas. Inventory here is smaller and more personal than Mykonos or Santorini: family-run villas, renovated houses and a few private-pool estates rather than mega-compounds.

Below are villa-style stays from our verified Sifnos partners — Filadaki Villas, Villa Olivia Clara and Mavroudis House among them — with booking links that go straight to the property pages.
