Windmill Bella Vista

Beautiful hotel on mountain top… spectacular views but very windy… the staff very friendly… TV recaption was on and on…shower very tight not comfortable…breakfast buffet was traditional Greek style …delish

Convenient location to go around the island.

This is gorgeous boutique hotel with spacious, comfortable rooms and breathtaking views of the sea. Margarita and George went the extra mile to make our stay one of the best ever- arranging rental cars, shuttles, beach chairs, food recommendations, and even a 5pm checkout in order for us to use their facilities after a day at the beach prior to our ferry to Milos. It was a truly elite experience with high end concierge level care. The common grounds are immaculate, including a sparkling pool and charming breakfast area. The breakfast was abundant with several options for proteins, breads, and juices. A "can't miss" experience. Don't hesitate booking this hotel!

Simply a perfect location for a visit to beautiful Sifnos. The rooms, the pool, the food and the hosts are all first rate! Have stayed here three times now. Enjoy access to all the island from this mid-point. Walk to towns at night. Will be back as soon as possible. Thanks Margarita and George!

The position is outstanding and the views of Sifnos and across to adjacent islands breathtaking. We walked everywhere discovering a very well marked network of old island pathways providing off road access to Apolonnia and Kastro. And in particular to Artemon where there are some great restaurants. Buffet breakfast at the hotel good but there is literally no other service during the day at this time of year.

“the #1 destination for travellers who are looking for luxury and relaxation” Well well… If the view is indeed stunning - but as every where on the island - this destination is everything but luxury. The rooms (we visited 4) are over-aged with underequipped kitchens, and the bathrooms are ridiculously small ! Impossible to take a shower without spreading water everywhere and nowhere to put your personal things. Staff and service ? The person - owner ? - that was at the reception when we arrived was busier talking on the phone than welcoming us. In 5 days, not once did anyone from the staff ask us if we were enjoying our stay and if we needed anything. No interaction. Breakfast, taken on a commun terrace (with members of staff “instagramming” every morning at one of the tables next to us ) is a mix of fresh and industrial products. Very basic. No charm despite the view. Last but not least, no outside lighting on the premises in the evening ! When you come back from dinner, better be equipped with a torch ! Before fixing his prices, the owner should clearly visit à few true luxury hotels on neighbouring islands to understand what luxury means. Because the Windmill is way too expensive for what it is.

We have stayed at Windmill Bella Vista many times - always in the summer. We are always warmly welcomed by Margarita, Yiorgos and their team who make our holidays magical. We have stayed in most of the beautiful apar**ents, tastefully decorated in the traditional island style and kept spotlessly clean by attentive staff. We love the fact that the mill complex is surrounded by the Sifnian countryside with views of the terraces and magnificent seaviews. Situated next to the footpath network of Sifnos Trails, Windmill Bella Vista is ideal for hikers, walkers and nature lovers. Our most recent visit was a few days ago - the beginning of May. We saw a green Sifnos full of Spring flowers - see the photo taken behind Windmill Bella Vista, which is just visible in the distance. Even though we were only a few guests there was a feast of a breakfast laid on with local biscuits, bread and cakes as well as the usual breakfast fare. One amazing feature of Windmill Bella Vista is the generosity of the hosts: The bar is left open all the time, so that guests can help themselves to alcoholic and non-alcoholic refreshments whenever they want. This really is a unique place to stay.

My husband and I loved staying here for one day. The views from the property , and from our room, were amazing, overlooking Kastro. Our room was neat, with everything we needed, including a varanda. Very friendly and helpful staff. We were locked kit late at night and one helpful young man came to our rescue! We had a pleasant conversation with the owner regarding his property and his travels, which included Brazil. Breakfast was excellent! We walked around the nearby villages without the need of transportation, except when we came back from Kastro, but you will need to enjoy walking up and down in order to do it. Thank you so very much to everyone at the Windmill Bella Vista! Inara & Hélio

Beautiful and confortabile stay with my family close to artemon village. The swimming pool and Castro’s view is amazing! Windmill’ staff has been very kind with us, service always perfect. I highly recommend it!
