An amazing property- great location, in immaculate condition, beautifully furnished and really well stocked for a family to self cater. I’d give 6 stars if I could! Attention to detail- from kitchen essentials to board games made it a perfect location

We have just returned from a truly fantastic break at this beautiful property. Donna couldn't have been a more welcoming and helpful host. The bungalow is modern, bright, very well equipped, with a great garden and super facilities. A real "home from home". It is situated in a perfect location, close to beaches, bars and restaurants. We'll definitely return and couldn't recommend highly enough!

We cannot say enough positive things about this home and our stay there. It was so clean and beautifully decorated and the hosts went out of their way to add so many special touches to make our stay there comfortable and welcoming. It is by far one of the nicest VRBO properties we have stayed at in the US and Europe. Communication was wonderful with the host and the process was very simple and straightforward. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in England.

This was our second time at villa Sofia and we had another fantastic stay. The weather was great so we enjoyed plenty of time on the beach. The location is excellent. The property and garden is beautifully presented and well equipped for all ages. We can’t wait to return, I’m sure we will be back again soon.

We stayed as a family of five in August for just under week and our overall stay was fabulous. Donna was a joy to deal with from start to finish. The house is clean and incredibly well equipped, especially the kitchen. Donna even provides robes, slippers, mini toiletries and beach bags (complete with a set of towels), which gives the property a touch of luxury. The location is ideal for Sandbanks beach (luckily the weather was kind), the Studland chain ferry and many local eateries. The kids loved the swing set and since it kept them busy, so did we! The automatic gate at the front is a welcome addition. We're very keen to return!

My husband & I enjoyed a week at Villa Sofia with our Mums. It was the perfect location about 5 mins walk from an amazing, beautiful beach & about a 10 minute drive from lovely Poole. The house was perfect & was lacking absolutely nothing, it was lovely & clean & was warm when we needed the central heating after the sun went down. We sat outside in the garden on the decking most afternoons in the sun BLISS! We loved exploring the beautiful surrounding area & trying out all the local ice creams. We would love to come & stay at Villa Sofia again. Thank you so much

Absolutely amazing accommodation in Sandbanks. We have rented property here many times and this is beyond a doubt the best place we've stayed. Location is perfect, the interiors delightful, everything was spotless, the kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms are so thoughtfully appointed and stocked, the huge garden is great for kids. Donna was incredibly kind and helpful and has really gone above and beyond to create a beautiful home. I felt like I was staying at a friend's house. We would love to return. Many thanks Donna!

We booked this property for a long weekend for a family trip. It exceeded our expectations with a lot of thought given to guests. I was especially pleased with the large wardrobe filled with games for children, the book case (for all ages), cosy robes and the great hair dryer and straighteners ! Host was always available when we had a little question too! The garden was great for extra fun for kids (play area) with decking by the kitchen for us to relax whilst keeping an eye on them. If your after a bit of luxury living in a cosy home, just by the beach then Villa Sofia is for you. I’d definitely stay again, Thanks Donna.

A beautiful bungalow in a lovely location.

A wonderful break in a superb bungalow in Sandbanks. It is an easy walk to the glorious sandy beaches or up to the chain ferry. We were blessed with glorious weather too. We could not fault the cleanliness and high standard throughout, from the tastefully decorated rooms, to the kind and friendly touches, to the swinger in the garden and to the extremely well stocked kitchen. It has a lovely calm, relaxed feel about it and it made our stay special. From a teenager to a 79 year old grandad, it catered to us all! Thank you to Donna and family for a wonderful break and for all the hard work that has gone in to creating such a glorious place to stay. Can not recommend staying here enough.

As part of our staycation this year we decided to spend a few days on Sandbanks and we’re lucky enough to find the amazing gem that is Villa Sofia. Really cannot speak highly enough of the property & owners. The property is beautifully styled but is comfortable and has literally everything you need for a no worries vacation by the sea. Donna the owner could not have been more helpful & communication is excellent and nothing too much trouble. Book - you won’t regret it and we can’t wait to return!!

A great place to make memories of an excellent holiday

We take away with us happy memories of a lovely holiday at Villa Sofia- a great place to relax and unwind. The new owners have gone out of their way toprovid everything you could possibly need for a stress free break. The grand children thought that the outdoor play area was wonderful, and loved the variety of books, toys and games that was provided for them. The host has put a lot of thought into the furnishings and tasteful design of the rooms and into what makes a good holiday base for their guests, The location is perfect, within walking distance of lovely sandy beaches which stretch for niles as well as plenty of other places to visit. There was good communication with the host who went out of her way to make sure all was well with us, Villa Sofia is a place we would recommend for families of all ages and we hope to return to in the future.

Perfect for all ages

Perfect for all ages

Villa Sofia is a holiday bungalow Sandbanks style! The decor is modern and smart and the bungalow is equipped to a high specification with everything you will ever want or need on holiday, whatever your age—the perfect home by the sea. There is a garden to play in for everyone—play house and slide for small children and astroturf for ball games. Villa Sofia is 5 minutes walk to arguably the best beach in southern England and 5 minutes to Rick Stein’s. What more can you want?

We treated ourselves to a 4 day break in Villa Sofia and loved every minute. Lovely clean and welcoming house, great design, fabulous kitchen, comfy beds and even a fun climbing frame. Donna was super friendly and helped make sure everything went smoothly. Highly recommend!

Donna was amazing and the house was just perfect, even having a decorated Christmas tree prepped for our arrival.Everything in the house is classy yet comfortable, ideal for us and likely perfect for a family with children too. Sizable kitchen and good sized bedrooms and garden ensured that we were comfortable and the dining,/living room had a wonderful fireplace and smart TV - so Christmas was about as perfect as it could be. In the summer this place will be impossible to book no doubt as it happens to also be set in one of the UKs most fashionable areas, Sandbanks. But for us, drawing an awful year to an end, we couldn’t have done it in a better place. Thanks Donna!
