Verina Terra

We enjoyed our stay as a family - it’s a very pleasant and unpretentious small hotel with nice decor and a location that worked very well for us. The rooms are pleasant (could perhaps do with a refresh and the bathrooms / showers are so so), service was very friendly and the location just across the road from the platys gialos beach ***** was super convenient to potter out for lunch or a morning / evening swim and made our stay very low effort and relaxing. We then had a car to explore all the great things Sifnos has to offer when we wanted to. Together with the super friendly (unpretentious) service and relaxed vibe it worked well for us. Breakfast was also very nice with yoghurt, eggs, cereals, pancakes, fruit and plenty of coffee. Pool area only just about big enough and shortage of shaded areas when busy. But never felt too bad. Double rooms feel quite pricey. Personally would love it if it were a bit closer to Astra but it’s pitched as a different proposition. Would definitely go back as overall we had a great stay and with children the location works well.

My wife and I have just completed a wonderful 10 day visit to Sifnos where we stayed at the absolutely fantastic Verina Terrace, Platys Gialos. The hotel was recommended to us by our terrific travel agent - Visions Holidays Group - as they knew that my wife and I wanted to stay at a high class boutique hotel within easy walking distance of tavernas / restaurants and close to a beach. They couldn’t have recommended anywhere better for our requirements. The hotel has less than 15 rooms / suites all of which are well equipped with the buildings only having a maximum 10 steps to reach the 1st floor rooms. The hotel has a great pool and offers shaded sun beds and day beds. Towels are provided by the pool which is cleaned daily. Breakfasts are outstanding and served on the terrace by the pool. The menu choices are extensive and all breakfast dishes made to order. The excellent beach is situated within 50 metres from the hotel. All tavernas / restaurants are within an easy 10 minute walk. The Verina Terra staff are all extremely friendly and consistently deliver a very high standard of service. Particular mention must go to: Katerina, Anna-Marie, Vangelis, Iena, Atif and Savannas. My wife and I have been regular visitors to Greece for 40 years. The Platys Gialos resort with its excellent sandy beach, very clear water and around 12 tavernas / restaurants, together with the wonderful Verina Terra hotel are now our ‘Number 1’. We would strongly recommend all lovers of Greece to consider Sifnos, Platys Gialos and Verina Terra for their next vacation,

Having spent 2 nights in sister property (which was amazing) this didn’t match the same standards. Other than the name you wouldn’t know they they were connected. Room was lovely but bathroom tiny. Staff v nice but no one to help with bags or greet on arrival, and no welcome drink until an hour later. It was v windy so pool full of debris which is no one’s fault ,but no attempt to clean it until next morning . Garden pleasant but not tended like Astra. Unfortunately pool was v rowdy with young children, but hard for hotel to do much. Overall a nice hotel in good location (but no views) but v pricey for what it delivered.

We were 2 nights here and 4 nights at the other Verina! we're glad we did both as it was nice to have a base in 2 parts of Sifnos. This is such a lovely bay plus it has fab restaurants. The hotel room was spacious and beautifully done and nice terrace with sunbeds. Pool area and where you eat breakfast very nice. It was quiet being out of school holidays as not that many sunbeds by the pool but it was no problem, suspect many people go to the beach too. Service was great all round. No complaints!
