We recently spent 2 nights at this hotel and were very pleased with it. The room and view were great. The location in an area with no cars was great too. Very quiet. Great service and attention to small details made this stay one of the best of our 3 weeks in the Greek islands. There is a pool and... more

I have stayed at this hotel several times, met fascinating people from all over the world and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a comfortable room and a local island setting. [It is not for the 'gotta be on the beach' tourist - you have to take a car or bus to reach the sea -... more

Wow! This is a great place. This hotel is spread out in the form of a 'village' over the side of a hill overlooking the 'capital' of Sifnos, Apollonia. It is neither too big nor too small and is a very easy 5 minute walk from Apollonia The rooms are large and airy with heartbreaking views over Sifnos. They are... more

We enjoyed all aspects of the Petali! Beautiful, spacious room (triple) with a real KING bed; slippers for guests; refrig; beautiful views; private deck with chairs/table, line to dry clothes/bathing suits; clean pool (not too large) with lounge chairs; EXCELLENT breakfast (ham, cheese, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, sweet breads, breads, pasteries, cereal, milk, fresh OJ, fresh fruit, coffee) with incredible... more

We stayed here for 3 nights in late September, our first time to the Greek islands. The hotel was charming! The property was laid out so that the rooms took advantage of the view, and we had a great ground floor room with a nice lanai - views of the ocean, the sunrise and the main town of Apollonia were... more

We were very pleased in virtually all respects. The room was very pleasant, clean, etc. The site and grounds are really beautiful, and the location superb: convenient to town by a short walk, but sufficiently isolated to be peaceful. In contrast to some complaints from earlier years, we found the staff uniformly very pleasant, informative, and helpful. Also, the new... more

Great family hotel overlooking the island, wonderful swimming pool to relax around at the end of the day. Only hitch - the restaurant ... it takes them about 40 minutes just to serve you breakfast! And the dinner menu is far too "creative" ... Traditional Greek food is so good it's a pity to stop here for dinner! more

We have just spent eight days at the Petali Hotel, after a 12-day stay last year. Standards of cleanliness were excellent, breakfasts served on the panoramic terrace delicious and highly adequate and the two remaining staff (off-season) were efficient and most friendly. The hotel has a beautiful location, all the facilities were modern and well-maintained. Position quiet, although some noise... more

We stayed at the Petali for two weeks in July '04. I can fully endorse the comments made about the service and the staff (inept/incompetent) however the location/views are wonderful and the rooms comfortable enough and very clean. The breakfasts are served on a gorgeous terrace but were very hit and miss. more
