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!

Firstly the staff were fantastic! But, the room really spoiled our stay. We could hear every noise from the room above. The couple above us were blissfully unaware that every time they dragged a chair, walked, snored or used the loo, etc we knew all about it. They woke us up each time they went to the toilet! not only from the plumbing sounds (use your imagination). They woke us each morning around 06:30 to experience their ablutions. I am sure our stay would have been much better had we had an upstairs room. The plumbing is part of the problem, but solid flooring with (presumably) no acoustic membrane and an internal joining staircase (locked both ends) acted like an echo chamber. These issues should not happen in a boutique hotel in this price range.

The Verina Terra is gorgeous, with a perfect location and wonderful staff. Breakfast is varied and delicious. The only improvements I could suggest would be to connect easier with the spa (which is at a sister hotel) and to add some outlets, which all hotels have too little of. Overall, loved it I would love to return.

Set amongst trees and landscaped gardens, this apar**ent complex is just across the road from the beach. It has a swimming pool and bar too. Katerina, the hostess, was delightful and made us feel at home. Lovely breakfasts in shady areas near the pool. The rooms are immaculate, and cleaned daily. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Car park right next to Verina Terra very convenient too. Highly recommended.

We spent an absolutely wonderful 5 nights at Verina Terra as a family of 3. Our room was beautifully designed, with quiet air con, and gorgeous bathroom products. Our room was the prefect size for the 3 of us, with a slightly separate bed area to the living area which had a very comfortable sofa for our 13 year old to sleep on. The service was excellent, with a great daily clean of the room. The outside area is beautiful. A quiet, shady bar area / restaurant and a lovely sized pool. The overall vibe was luxury boho. Prefect for families or couples looking for a peaceful and relaxing break. Breakfast was excellent. What was so special about this place is how close it was to the beach - you literally grab a towel and walk 30 seconds over the road to the beautiful Platis Gialos. Nothing felt like an effort. Sifnos is an astoundingly beautiful island, we will definitely return and will stay at Verina terra.

It’s tough to decide upon your hotel via blogs, reviews and research, but we struck gold by choosing the Verina Terra. It was intimate, casual, beautiful, charming and incredibly welcoming. Great for couples, friends or families-Imagine less than a dozen other guestrooms all in bungalow type living surrounded by Bougainvillea and beautiful gardens. The center of the property is a simple yet perfectly situated bar and small kitchen that delivers extraordinary food including a complimentary breakfast and excellent hand-made cocktails. The shaded dining area drops into a lovely pool with comfty shaded couches and umbrella sun-deck seating. The entire staff feels like family, and you get to know them very quickly. They are available, gracious, friendly yet never intrusive. We had a great collection of other guests from many different countries who would share stories of their island excursions over breakfast. It was a magical setting and a lovely place to spend five nights. Our room was one of the smaller rooms yet still ample for my husband and myself, with a lovely little terrace. We had a car, which I would recommend because this beach location is at the bottom of the island and you want to be able to visit everything. However, I understand the bus system is quite good and our beach in front of the hotel had a fabulous choices of restaurants so you really could just stay and do nothing if you chose. We did go to the sister property, Verina Astro, for dinner one night and it was an entirely different feeling. It was lovely to see and we enjoyed dinner at their fabulous restaurant, but I am so glad that we chose the more casual vibe of Verina Terra for our vacation!
