Petali Village Hotel
Panoramic Apollonia and sea views, 250 metres from the chora centre
About this hotel
Petali Village sits in Pano Petali, just 250 metres from Apollonia's centre, with a panoramic view that takes in both the chora's whitewashed rooftops and the sea beyond, a combination few properties on this ridge can match. The pool includes a hydromassage section, and the poolside snack bar covers lighter meals without a walk into the village. Rooms have panoramic views over the sea and countryside, with air-conditioning, free WiFi and wall-mounted TVs, and the enriched continental buffet breakfast includes homemade jams and freshly squeezed juice. Tour, car hire and transfer services are all arranged directly through the hotel. Guests rate the stay 9.6 out of 10 here, and it is earned on a genuine sea view rather than a glimpse, the sort of detail that matters more on a small island than a long amenities list.
- Panoramic views
- Hydromassage pool
- Near Apollonia centre
- Car hire on site
Our take
Petali Village is a strong pick for travellers who want proximity to Apollonia's restaurants and nightlife combined with a genuine resort-style pool and panoramic view. The on-site car hire and transfer services simplify logistics considerably. It suits couples and families equally well; anyone specifically wanting to be right on a beach should look at the coastal villages instead.
- ✓Book the hydromassage pool section for the late afternoon when the panoramic view is at its best
- ✓Arrange car hire directly through the hotel to skip a separate trip into the chora
- ✓Walk the 250 metres into Apollonia for dinner, it is a genuinely short stroll
Why we love it

Why guests love itPetali Village Hotel is a three-star in Pano Petali, about 250 metres from the centre of Apollonia, the main village of Sifnos. Its panoramic view takes in the village and the sea, and a hydromassage pool with a poolside snack bar gives families a reason to stay put in the afternoon. Car hire and tours can be arranged on site, which helps on an island best explored by road. I would choose it for village evenings on foot; a 9.6 score from 253 reviews backs it.
