Villa Sofia

Great location, really friendly and welcoming staff that helped with any questions. Within the property multiple nice little cute spots (hammocks, sunbathing etc.) Really fun pool area and the terraces were really spacious.

Maybe just a bit more kitchen utensil in case you plan on cooking most of the time

Kleine Appartmentanlage mit schönem Pool, abseits der Hauptstraße. Küchenausstattung war sparsam, dafür gab es eine tolle Bäckerei , einen Supermarkt und gute Tavernen in der Umgebung. Insgesamt super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Gastgeberin war sehr freundlich, hat uns vom Hafen abgeholt und auch mal in die Stadt gefahren.

Nur eine Kleinigkeit: mehr Ablagefläche für Kleider in der Wohnung wäre praktisch

Η διαμονή μας στο κατάλυμα ήταν εξαιρετική και πραγματικά αξίζει τα καλύτερα σχόλια. Οι χώροι είναι καλαίσθητοι, προσεγμένοι και αποπνέουν αίσθηση πολυτέλειας και άνεσης, δημιουργώντας το ιδανικό περιβάλλον για ξεκούραση και χαλάρωση. Η πισίνα, σε συνδυασμό με το οργανωμένο μπαρ, προσφέρει μοναδική εμπειρία, είτε για χαλαρές στιγμές μέσα στην ημέρα είτε για όμορφες βραδιές. Το προσωπικό ξεχώρισε για την ευγένεια, τον επαγγελματισμό και τη διακριτική του φροντίδα, κάνοντας μας να νιώθουμε ευπρόσδεκτοι από την πρώτη στιγμή. Η καθαριότητα ήταν άψογη σε όλους τους χώρους, γεγονός που αναδεικνύει την προσοχή στη λεπτομέρεια και τη φροντίδα των επισκεπτών. Συνολικά, πρόκειται για έναν προορισμό που συνδυάζει άνεση, φιλοξενία και υψηλής ποιότητας υπηρεσίες. Το συνιστούμε ανεπιφύλακτα και σίγουρα θα το επιλέξουμε ξανά σε επόμενη επίσκεψή μας.

The garden and swimming pool areas were very clean and inviting. The hotel is close to the beach. They agreed to wash some of our clothes with the hotel’s washing machine and even hanged them for us which was very kind.

Based on the positive booking.com reviews and the not cheap apartment price we were expecting a care-free 8-night stay with our baby. Unfortunately this was not the case. The owner talking down on the staff and even harshly criticizing them in our presence often made us feel uneasy. Probably non Greek speaking guests might be spared of this, but then again negative emotions are not only communicated through the spoken word and linger in many different universal forms. Cleanliness was another issue as the apartment wasn’t serviced fully as often as it should have. This was due to the lack of communication and flexibility from the staff with regards to when they could come in and service the apartment given the fact that we had a 9-month baby with sleeping patterns that don‘t neatly fit the typical 10-12 am servicing windows. We have always been handled much more sensitively and respectfully from other hotels before that we didn’t expect such a difficult situation here (maybe we were only lucky before). Suffice it to say that explicitly blaming the customer for having to request some flexibility from the maid is not nice, let alone leaving the place uncleaned for at least half of our stay there… The breakfast could have been much more appealing if there was a bit more goodwill and positivity around it even with the same foods - it felt cheaper than what the hotel was charging. The breakfast time was 8-10 am and at 09:30 there were typically no more veggies available, even upon request - this irked us a couple of times. The kitchen in the apartment felt and smelled somewhat dated and wasn’t fully furnished - not very appealing. Finally if you have two floors and there is air conditioning only in one of them this should be clearly written in the description. From an architectural and safety point of view the stair connecting the two floors is adventurously tight - we did not happily use the stairs especially when holding the baby.
