Windmill Bella Vista

I had a wonderful stay at Bella Vista in Sifnos. The view over the sea is simply breathtaking, the kind that makes you pause and soak in the beauty every day. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming – especially Anastasia, who was not only very professional but also so kind and attentive. The breakfast was excellent, with plenty of delicious options, and the rooms were spotless and very comfortable. Honestly, this place deserves more than 4 stars. Highly recommended! 🌊✨

A beautiful location just outside Artemonas. You're able to walk to both Artemonas and Appolonia. We didn't walk down to Kastro but that might also be doable. We had a nice and tidy room in good condition with a little kitchen. The shower was a bit small and you did wet the bathroom but it was still comfortable. From your private terrace you had a beautiful view over Kastro and the sea. The pool area had the same view. Breakfast buffet with lots of choice was served in the bar area where you could also have lunch with very nice local dishes. The staff was friendly and generous.

What an amazing experience. Absolutely loved this place. Our room was pristine, looking like it had been recently renovated. The service was friendly and attentive. And the views! Just amazing. I was a bit concerned reading a few 1 star reviews but we couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised during our stay. Still the same owners so maybe those reviews were made during some sort of renovation? Either way, we love this place and if we ever return to Sifnos, this will be where we stay.

Absolutely loved our stay at Windmill Bella Vista! Beautiful location, amenities rooms, and spectacular views. Walking distance to the gorgeous village of Artemona with cafes, cocktail bars and restaurants, as well as the bus stop that takes you to other parts of the Island and beaches. Margarita was very helpful and the resturant and cleaning staff were lovely. Breakfast was top notch . Our room had a private balcony with stunning ocean views.👌🏽 ❤️ Also THE POOL! Breathtaking. Highly reccomend this place.

Amazing place to stay in Sifnos. Stunning view on the sea and on kastro village. Very typical Greek residential place with a wonderful pool with the view

We stayed at Windmill Bella Vista at the end of April 2024 and we can't understand the negative review below from “extraordinary 453626”.|During our stay there was also renovation and construction in some places, but Margarita and Georgios always tried to keep the disturbance as low as possible. They also offered us a better price than normal as compensation, which was very kind of them. We were the only guests so early in the season and a large extensive breakfast buffet would not only have been inappropriate but also unsustainable. We therefore received a delicious individual breakfast every morning and were also able to make special requests. That was really great. We knew in advance that the restaurant was closed, so it wasn't a problem. We also really enjoyed our stay, Margarita and Georgios were very responsive to our wishes and needs.|We can't understand the negative review and highly recommend the Windmill Bella Vista to everyone. We will definitely be back.

We would love to write a great review and mention how wonderful Sifnos was, how beautiful the beaches and scenery were as well as the superb food and hospitality of the island itself and all of this was true. However, as hard as it sometimes is to say something unflattering, you also need to give an accurate account of things when it goes badly. This did not go well and the WindMill Bella Vista was the biggest disappointment of a 17 day trip. ||It did not deliver anything like it advertises and in our experience was certainly not a luxury stay. We were the first guests for the season in May 2024 and they were clearly nowhere near ready to accept guests. Not even close. The restaurant and bar were not open at all. They did provide a breakfast but certainly not the buffet breakfast we were expecting and on our last morning, they did not even have any milk. Broken chairs and tables were piled up on the side of the dining area. There were no shades or umbrellas around the pool and there was work being done around the pool area with tools, lights and electric leads lying around. There were tools scattered around the outdoor areas as well as paint trays and pots, buckets and other equipment lying around. The “kitchenette” leaves a lot to be desired with rusty hot plates that were very slow to heat and the cutlery was placed on the tray with the dishwashing liquid. We had no hot water and very cold showers for the first 2 days. We assume the backup for the solar heating system was not operational. Regardless, the bathroom was a bad design as there is no panel or curtain to stop the water covering 80% of the tiny room. Margarita (manager) greeted us on the first night and helped to arrange a rental car for us but from there on in it was almost impossible to find anyone for assistance with anything. Repeated calls to the reception number were not answered. There was only really one staff member around who honestly did her very best in all aspects but even she could not find the manager when needed. On our 2nd day George (owner) was lovely and very kindly offered us some food and drink from his own fridge but unfortunately this does not make up for the unprofessional attitude and lack of effort from the manager. Given responses to previous bad reviews I am expecting an unpleasant response from Margarita but sadly, I felt that people should be aware of the truth here. Definitely DO NOT RECOMMEND. We did see Margarita when we were leaving and she really did not want to accept any responsibility for any issues whatsoever. ||We have subsequently read almost all reviews available for this place and would urge you to take into account the poor reviews as we are not the only people who had a 1 star or less experience. Good luck!

We stayed in the windmill room 1 for a wedding. Despite it being very expensive per night, we didn’t even have a real shower. No overhead shower and no door or glass. It was handheld and you had to give yourself a birdbath and move very carefully so as not to flood the room. I do not recommend it. Also only one bottle of water provided for 3 people. And people wonder why Airbnb is doing well? They provide a lot more for your money. The view and pool were very nice though. Breakfast was decent but nothing exceptional for the price.
