Perched upon a hill in beautiful Sifnos, with jaw-dropping ocean views, stands this swoon-worthy abode. It slots nicely into its leafy surroundings with its earthy stone exterior and well-kept gardens. It feels pleasingly remote here. But the buzzy dining scene and markets of Apollonia City are just a ten-minute drive away. And the ferry port is a quick twenty-minute drive. Beach-lovers can reach Xrisopigi and Apokofto beaches by car in three minutes. Perfection.

Inside, white-washed walls and stone floors bring a chic, bright and breezy vibe. The blue of the ocean shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The living room and kitchen are roomy and all but two of the serene bedrooms come with an en-suite. So there’s plenty of space for fourteen.

Rustle up some tapas with ingredients picked from the garden, and scoff them with your favourite people out on the terrace. The relaxing seating space out there is perfectly placed to watch the sparkling Aegean Sea and Cyclades Islands. Bliss.

Home truths:
