Set amid centuries-old olive groves and filled with the heady scent of lemon trees and bougainvillea, Verina Terra feels remote yet sits just steps from the longest and most popular beach on Sifnos.
Located on the island’s southern coast, this boutique property features a collection of low-slung whitewashed buildings that are home to a mix of two-bed maisonettes and one-bed apartments, suites, and double rooms. Some sit at ground level, others on the first floor, but all are spacious, light-filled, and private. Each has a balcony or terrace that overlooks the Mediterranean-style gardens.
Minimalist, comfortable, and stylish, the decor fuses coastal Cycladic charm and contemporary convenience. Expect earthy tones, exposed beams, and furnishings in natural materials such as stone, wood, and rattan. Surrounded by greenery, the lovely pool, outdoor bar, and breakfast terrace offer elegant but informal spaces to relax, while the shaded pavilion provides a serene space for daily yoga sessions.
Like the decor, the generous breakfast and handcrafted cocktails reflect the Cyclades’ rich heritage. Ingredients are fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced, including those from the gardens of sister property Verina Astra — home to a farm-to-table restaurant overlooking the Aegean.
Service at Verina Terra is warm, personal, and discreet.
I love waking up at Verina Terra. You’ll step onto your balcony for breakfast, overlooking the lush gardens, before strolling a short distance to the island’s most beautiful beach. It’s the best of both worlds, in one elegant and relaxed setting.
