Orietta

The concept: Serene Sifnos summer house

Orietta is a luxury villa on the island of Sifnos, set on private land on a gentle slope overlooking the Bay of Platis Gialos. Located on the quieter western side of the bay, surrounded by olive groves and within easy walking distance of the beach and nearby shops, it’s a calm, well-placed summer house. With ample room indoors and out, a private swimming pool, and an independent guesthouse, Orietta is ideal for families and friends who want to experience Sifnos at an unhurried pace.

Outdoors

Orietta’s elevated position brings wide-open Aegean views across the bay from its generous outdoor spaces. A large wrap-around terrace features a private swimming pool, landscaped gardens, and comfortable areas for dining and lounging. Sun loungers line the pool for laid-back afternoons with the sea as your backdrop, while the dining table sits under a shaded portico and the natural cover of trees—perfect for long lunches and relaxed evenings. Fragrant wild thyme and oregano around the gardens add a subtle, unmistakably Greek note to the outdoor experience.

Indoors

The interiors blend island-style chic with local materials and traditional Cycladic architecture. Cool stone floor tiles, local stonework, and whitewashed walls create a comfortable, understated summer home-from-home. The living space includes a sofa lounge area with a cosy fireplace and French doors opening onto the terrace, keeping the indoor–outdoor flow easy. Upstairs in the main villa are three double bedrooms, and there is also an independent guesthouse with a separate entrance and one more double bedroom—ideal for extra privacy. All rooms have A/C, and the beds feature top-quality mattresses and linen for restful nights.

Good to know

Platis Gialos Bay is home to one of Sifnos’ best-known beaches, a long stretch of golden sand backed by trees. The beach offers sunbeds, tavernas, and water sports facilities, and is around 1 km from Orietta. Contact our concierge team for suggestions on other beaches, dining, and activities across Sifnos.
