Offering stunning sea and countryside views, this attractive hotel complex is situated around an authentic 18th century windmill on the beautiful island of Sifnos.

On the edge of the attractive village of Artemonas, the hotel offers spacious accommodation with kitchenettes for added convenience. A cafe-bar provides constant refreshment, while you can also unwind in the swimming pool equipped with hydro-massage. Experienced riders can explore the village with Manama, the hotel's own Arabian horse, or you can even stay indoors and take a few Greek lessons in an informal atmosphere.

The Windmill Bella Vista stands tall upon a hill, giving superb views of the Aegean Sea, the Cyclades Islands and the beautiful villages and countryside that surrounds Artemonas.

Built in the 18th century, the windmill itself was originally an important commodity for the island, processing a large volume of produce for the inhabitants. After being left redundant in the 1950s, it quickly fell into disrepair, but work began in 1997 to restore it. Today, the windmill itself is the centrepiece of the hotel, offering you the chance to stay within its newly restored walls. It is complemented by a number of whitewashed studios and apartments, constructed in true Sifnos style with traditional stone architecture.

All accommodation at the Windmill Bella Vista includes a kitchenette and either a private balcony or veranda with sea view.

The traditional cafe-bar serves fine Mediterranean cuisine and the best delicacies from Sifnos. Only the best local products are used, including freshly caught fish, locally produced meat, home grown vegetables and traditional sweets from Sifnos.

To accompany your meal, you can choose from a large selection of red and white Greek wines including the hotel's own “Windmill Bella Vista” wine, pressed with grapes from its vineyards.

Alternatively, try the excellent 'Raki', accompanied by some local 'mezedes' (entrees).

Breakfast is included in the price of your stay at Windmill Bella Vista and is served either at the snack bar or on the private balcony/veranda of your room. This includes fresh tea or coffee (espresso, cappuccino, French filter, Nescafe or traditional Greek coffee), homemade Sifnian cheese (Myzithra and Manoura) sliced meets, fruit juice, eggs, toasted sandwich, cake and Sifnian sweets.

A snack bar is open (10/06-30/09 )all day, serving light meals, ice creams, coffee, fruit juice and other drinks.

A municipality until 1998, Artemonas is one of the most picturesque villages of Sifnos, thanks to predominant neoclassical architecture and beautiful gardens. Visitors can see the house where the poet Gryparis was born, along with the churches of the Virgin Mary of Kohi and the Virgin Mary of Samos. The latter church was extended in 1788 and is now home to a rare icon of the Virgin Mary, depicted without the Holy Child.
