A chic sea-view villa with an infinity pool on the cliffs of Sifnos

Perched high on the cliffs of Sifnos, Villa Ilia is a refined six-bedroom retreat that blends contemporary Cycladic architecture with panoramic views over the Aegean. Designed for laid-back summer living, the villa offers space, style and privacy just a short drive from the island’s main villages.

The outdoor areas are thoughtfully arranged across multiple levels, with broad terraces, shaded pergolas and quiet corners for retreat. A sparkling blue pool takes centre stage, with a row of sun loungers lining its edge and views that stretch to the horizon.

There are several options for dining and relaxing outdoors, from enjoying morning coffee on the private bedroom terraces to long, sociable lunches by the pool. Hammocks, cushioned seating, and a rooftop terrace provide additional spaces to soak up the sun, while a built-in barbecue is conveniently located nearby for preparing fresh al fresco meals.

Inside, the villa is bright and minimalist, featuring whitewashed walls, chic grey floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the stunning sea view. Built-in seating, carefully selected design pieces, and natural textures add warmth to the clean-lined spaces. The open-plan layout allows for a seamless flow between the lounge, dining areas, and a fully equipped kitchen. For family entertainment, movie nights can be enjoyed with a projector screen discreetly placed for convenience.

Spread between the main villa and two guest houses, the six bedrooms offer quiet retreats, all with a private terrace and en-suite bathroom. The main villa features four bedrooms, two of which can be configured as twins or doubles, and one that is accessible externally, making it ideal for guests seeking added privacy. The two guest houses are situated slightly apart, offering independent space with sea-facing terraces. One includes a mezzanine sleeping area and a single bed in the lounge, making it well-suited for families.

Elegant and serene, Villa Ilia is a well-located base for exploring the island of Sifnos – or for staying in and enjoying the view.

*NB: Villa not suitable for children under 8 years old for safety reasons (infants permitted).
