Sophia Finikia Villas

Le cadre est magnifique, c’est un logement très atypique, c’est ce que nous recherchons.

Il y a des lampes qui ne marchaient pas, et la douche de notre chambre était froide.

A peaceful stay at Sophia Privilege Villa The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing, with pleasant décor and comfortable amenities. The staff truly went out of their way to make us feel welcome, which we really appreciated. From our villa, we had a beautiful view of the Santorini sunset — the perfect way to end each day.

The lobby of the hotel where the shared pool is is very beautiful and the staff are kind!

What I didn’t enjoy about this stay was the lack of direct car access, requiring a 7–10 minute uphill/downhill walk to reach the property. While I understand that this may be part of the city’s layout, I wish it had been made clearer in the listing. Given the amount of back and forth I had to do each day, I would not have booked this accommodation had I known. The walk itself isn’t particularly scenic, which made it even less enjoyable. As for the three-bedroom villa itself, I was genuinely disappointed by the cleanliness and overall condition. The space didn’t feel well-maintained or comfortable. Most alarming was the bathroom in the room my parents stayed in, it was infested with over 400 dead or nearly dead flying ants. We only discovered this around 8–9 p.m. after a late check-in, and were told nothing could be done until morning. This was unacceptable. I ended up cleaning it myself, and while only a few ants returned the next day, it left a very poor impression. The cave-style rooms had major insulation issues, they were either too cold, too hot, or too humid. Cleanliness continued to be a problem throughout. Our own bathroom had a large dirty rock in the shower, covered in hair from previous guests. Extremely unhygienic. The private pool, which had been a major selling point for us, was another letdown. The entire pool area looked run-down and unkempt. Dirt, bugs, and spider webs covered the lounge chairs, and the pool itself was full of debris. It looked nothing like the photos and was so uninviting that we didn’t use it once. To add to the frustration, while the staff were helpful with luggage at check-in, they were unable to assist during our early-morning check-out. We had to carry roughly 200 pounds of luggage uphill for about 10 minutes, which was exhausting and stressful. Overall, I would not recommend this stay. There are definitely better options available.
