These few words is a simplified attempt in describing the experience as we lived it in villa Sofi:

Hospitality aka Philoxenia: The warmness of the hosts is not only limited to welcome gestures but extends also over social human interactions of the local community. Soon we felt as a part of the neighborhood as we have been always living in the area.

Location aka Escape Center: We have chosen Nochia and Villa Sofi as the basis for our visits at the most fabulous beaches of North West Crete such as Balos, Elafonisi and Falassarna. Distance for all of them is about one hour driving approximately. Of course we had the chance to visit in less than 15 minutes worth visiting beaches such as Kolibari and Ravdouha. Nochia also is a picturesque small village with superb nature where we found a bakery and a mini market with totally everything (fresh local meat and vegetables included). Kolibari is one of the best places for fresh fish close to the seaside.

Villa aka Home: We were more than happy to see that Villa Sofi was fully equipped for any meal preparation. From a breakfast till a barbecue, from a light dinner for two till a big party for 10 or more people. Hosts have taken care on every small detail to make our stay comfort and convenient. Their care was also depicted in the Villa as such which looks closely to the cottage we were always dreaming of. Modern decoration with respect to tradition, handmade furniture made of “meraki”, cozy corners for reading and enjoying company, yard with splendid plants, balcony for admirable landscape view, kids playroom and smart natural light and temperature balancers.

Our memories from Villa Sofi are one of the main subjects that we are discussing with our friends now that we are back from vacations. We have been already recommending Villa Sofi by word of mouth and this review is to spread our happiness from staying there wider!
