Verina Astra

Verina Astra was fabulous. The facility, staff and food were wonderful. The location and drive were a bit out of the way but worth the effort.

Excellent service, beautiful location Incredible location, breathtaking views and excellent service from a very friendly staff. A heaven of piece and quiet.

We visited here as part of our honeymoon and it was absolutely perfect. The accommodation was tasteful, clean, and had everything you could want. The grounds were well kept with a beautiful garden, and the pool area is stunning. Our terrace was great in the shade, and made for a perfect place to sit at the end of the day. We also loved the resort cat. We had one breakfast in the restaurant area but just found it too hot due to it facing south, however, the hotel offer free breakfast to your room which is perfect on the patio or in bed, and the breakfast itself is fantastic, traditional greek with a few other bits thrown in. Service was great and we had one dinner in the restaurant, being the only couple eating in that night, we had beautiful sea views, stunning sunsets and the whole place to ourselves. Two things to note, the pool area is great and super quiet but if lots of people decide to stay at the hotel for the day, the beds can be short to come by. Also, you definitely need a rental car, we had one but it would be a hot 20 minute walk into the nearest village.

We loved our stay at Verina Astra! It is such a special location, and the attention to detail is exceptional.

We stayed here for 3 nights, sadly it should have been more. The hotel is a tad remote, but we rented a car at the port and getting there was easy. We had the room above the kitchen(with the giant terrace) but it wasn’t noisy. As it was October, we could sleep with the windows open and it was lovely. Our room was perfect, a good size with great couch area separate from the bedroom. We had the fantastic breakfast a few times on our patio. We had the cutest little black and white cat stop by for visits a couple times a day(we may have encouraged this a bit). We took advantage of the great walking trails that Sifnos has and took the path from behind Bostani to Kastro for a lovely seaside walk. The staff were all very helpful and happy to assist. The main restaurant had just closed for the season, so we didn’t get to try it… next time. My only complaint was the pool, it wasn’t heated(first world problem). Given the abundance of solar hot water heaters on the island, I would think it would be quite easy to attach one to the pool, just enough to take the chill off in the shoulder seasons. The property is but also isn’t remote. But I think you need a car to really take advantage of Sifnos or at least efficiently take advantage. We found a little store close to Artemonas and purchased the usual hotel supplies(snacks and sodas) on our trips to and fro. We can’t wait to go back.
