I tried to love this place but was mostly uncomfortable.

The place was very spacious, and when the cat pooped on our porch, they were fairly quick to come clean it. The sunset views were amazing.

The house is old, and the gate of the first-floor entrance does not actually lock. We constantly felt unsafe. The bathroom does not have good ventilation. Some of the amenities mentioned, like speakers, are missing from the house. The pool is in the basement, and it feels creepy to go there. The pool area also has poor ventilation, so it smells awful and is very humid. There are a lot of people walking by, so there is not a lot of privacy, especially during sunset. They did not provide any porters to come pick up our bags or drop them off at the next place.

Amazing stay in oia with the perfect spot for the beautiful view

The villa was beautiful and had everything we needed and the view was breathtaking especially during the sunset the terrace offered a perfect spot seated above the crowds. The host was incredibly helpful and welcoming, going above and beyond to make our stay special, he provided us with a great list of things to do and helped arrange for everything we needed. Highly recommend

6.0 / 10.0

The great spot in Oia to catch sunset and sunrise facing the caldera.

Only the view justifies the the price. The location of the house was amazing and exceptional. The One bedroom (the master room) was perfect. It was large and faced the water and the Caldera. It was the most breathtaking view at sunrise and sunset. The plunge pool was nice but it’s down below in the cave so it had its pros and cons. It was nice that there was another shower down by the plunge pool. It was nice that there was a small kitchen with a full fridge. Another plus about the home was the balcony and the roof deck there were two great spots to watch the sunrise and sunset of the caldera. Please keep in mind at sunset you will not have any privacy since all tourist in Oia descend on this exact spot to catch the most breathtaking sunsets. It didn’t bother us. Finally, it was great that the home was in the a central spot with a coffee and crepes breakfast shop literally outside the front door. There was also a mini market downstairs with the nicest owner so if you need any additional extras, wine, cheese, water it’s right underneath the house.

We were excited about the location based on the pictures we had seen. Unfortunately, the layout of the home is suitable for a couple. We were 6 people, 3 adults and 3 teenagers. We arrived with the belief that there were two full bedrooms and a living room with two sofa beds. Unfortunately that was not an accurate description. The main and the most accurately described bedroom had a Queen and was beautiful. However, the second bedroom was only accessible with a narrow ladder from the kitchen to cave room at the top. This second room had a sink and shower as well. We could not use the room since it was rendered useless the first night due moldy smell. There was no vents or windows or any type of ventilation in that room. So the moisture from having a bathroom in a poorly ventilated space would explain it. We reported our concerns the first day we checked in and told our host representative that we could not use it. The first night my sister in law had to use a thin couch pillow from the outside balcony to sleep on. The next day she decided she would bring down the mattress from the upstairs bedroom but after painstakingly squeezing it through I the small hole to take it down the ladder it appeared to have had stains. We did request a new mattress. They did eventually bring us a replacement mattress the second day. The space where we thought we had a living room with two sofa beds was the most misleading space. It was two areas I would assume were for seating against a wall. Since we didn’t not have the second bedroom upstairs we had to have the 3 teenagers sleep in a U shape in that space. We were also disappointed to find that the main bathroom had a broken toilet seat, the doors to enter the house were not very sturdy and the main front gate/door to enter the building was also broken and could just be forced open even after locking. Finally, we very disappointed that we did not receive the porter service on the day of our arrival.

What an amazing villa! We had enviable sunset views from our double terrace (yes double!) and a fab location right on the centre of Oia.

Pool needed to be warmer. It was indoors in a cave.

Superb

Perfect location for Oia (next to Oia castle). Unparalleled views of the sunset from the terrace! Walking distance to main Oia square with restaurants and shops. Also walking distance to the iconic Santorini domes! Indoor pool was a nice touch but the terrace with beds and hammock was definitely a highlight for us! The team arranged airport transfer for us (FYI additional fee for this) and met us at the meeting point to carry our bags to the villa to check-in. They can even arrange other activities or car hire so any requests you have, definitely communicate with the team - they’re happy to help. Nothing was bad but worth noting (mentioned in other reviews) that if you’re looking for total privacy, you won’t get it. The way Santorini is built means that you can easily look into people’s properties from above. We weren’t that bothered but thought I would mention it because during sunset, you will have people standing in-front of your villa and above it. The photos don’t show the layout of the villa that well. It’s split into 4 levels - the pool is located downstairs with some gym equipment and a small bathroom (shower wet room style). The main level has an outdoor seating area with access to bedroom 1, main living area, a bigger bathroom and a small kitchen. Next level up is bedroom 2, accessed by a step ladder in the kitchen (awkward to get up so wouldn’t recommend if you’re not comfortable climbing the steps). This bed has a smaller bathroom with shower (wet room style again) and yes you can see feet from the tiny window but they can’t see you (unless they were to physically bend down and look into the room). The top outside level, the terrance, is accessed by steps from the outdoor seating area on the main level. Overall for a family of 5 (all adults) we enjoy our stay and Tony was amazing with organising everything for us (thanks Tony and team for a great service)! We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Santorini in the future :)

We didn’t like people looking into our pool (people always stopped to watch, probably because of the disco ball), so we covered the windows with towels/blankets.

A wonderful stay!

It was a wonderful stay! The hotel is just in the heart of the city Oia! The view from our room was breathtaking! We had a very pleasant stay and for sure will come again! The room design was very elegant and nice! We definitely recommend!

Beautiful villa, amazing views and great location

We really liked everything. The staff was very polite and professional and the villa is amazing, with great interior and many amenities. The location is absolutely perfect, in the heart of Oia village and all shops and restaurants are a few steps away from the villa. We also enjoyed the pool and the comfy and nicely decorated living space with the dj set. The most amazing of all was the view from the terrace, we had a full view of the caldera and we could gaze at the sea and watch the world-famous sunset in Santorini! An amazing experience and will definitely visit again.

We absolutely loved this place! Everything exceeded our expectations. Th e staff was very friendly, they gave us a warm welcome, helped with our luggage and took the time to show us around the villa! The villa is so amazing, first of all the location is perfect! In the heart of Oia, so close to the main road where all the shops are and at the best spot to enjoy the world-famous sunset of Santorini! The villa is very clean and spacious, the decor is amazing and there are so many benefits, from the total privacy of our indoor pool, to the gym equipment, and the dj set in the living room, what a surprise! We were absolutely amazed by the villa's terrace and we fell in love with the unobstructed panoramic view of the caldera and the sea. We visited Oia to experience the famous sunset and having the privilege of watching it all from the comfort of our private terrace was like a dream come true! If you are visiting Oia, definitely look for Sophia Privilege, we highly recommend it and we will definitely come back to live this dream again!

The villa is amazing and very spacious, the decor is unique and all facilities are exceptional! We really enjoyed the total privacy of our indoor pool, the gym facilities and the special touch of the dj set! The view from the terrace was breath taking!

What an experience! We will definitely come back and we absolutely recommend Sophia Privilege to everyone who wants to have a memorable experience in Oia!

Sophia Privilege is the perfect place to live your dream in Santorini!

The place is really amazing! The villa is in the village of Oia and has spectacular views of the caldera and the sunset. The location is the most famous for taking photos of Oia and the sunset. It is clean and spacious, the view over the Caldera is amazing and we absolutely loved watching the sunset from the comfort of our own rooftop. We really enjoyed the pool and the spa room and there is also gym equipment! The service is perfect and the staff had been very friendly and accommodating and ready to assist. We highly recommend Sophia Privilege and we look forward to coming back and stay again!

Vue extraordinaire sur le coucher de soleil mais aménagement intérieur de la maison à revoir

Le meilleur spot pour profiter du coucher de soleil de Oia et certainement le meilleur spot pour profiter de l'un des plus beau coucher de soleil au monde ! Maison spacieuse et très bien placé par rapport a toutes les commodités d'Oia Escalier pour rejoindre le port juste en face de la maison, comptez 10min à pied pour descendre et 20min pour remonter :) très pratique pour rejoindre le port depuis la maison et delà partir en croisière (Attention pour les viré en bateaux, bien prévoir un départ et une arrivé depuis le port d'Ammoudi, qui est le port d'Oia) Accueil sympathique à l'arrivé et au départ. Parking gratuit à 5min a pied

Attention la 2em chambre est difficile d'accès et se fait par une échelle meunière et sous les toits, donc non adapté aux très jeune enfants ou personne âgé ! ce qui rend ce logement très agréable pour 2 et beaucoup moins pour 4. La chambre du RDC est quand à elle très spacieuse et agréable. Manque d'équipement dans la cuisine tel que grille pain, vaisselle très limité, bref ne comptez pas faire de grand repas dans ce logement, la cuisine et les ustensiles sont adapté pour un encas et tout juste un petit déjeuner, mais pousser la porte et vous trouverez une multitude de restaurant. Terrasse sur le toit immense qui aurait mériter d'y mettre un SPA car même si le logement dispose d'une petite piscine intérieur, celle ci est non chauffé donc assez froide et en sous sol donc peu agréable car aucune vue. Personnellement beaucoup d'espace perdu dans cette maison et un aménagement diffèrent aurait pu valoir un 10/10 tellement la vue est exceptionnelle, perso je condamne la piscine en bas et fait une 2em très belle chambre et compense la perte du petit bassin par un superbe SPA sur le toit avec vue sur le coucher de soleil :)
