My wife and I decided to come here for the first 5 nights of our honeymoon as we were attracted by the pictures depicting a romantic stone cottage hideaway. The pictures did not disappoint.
Villa Sofas is a perfect couple retreat - particularly as there is just one bedroom. We didn't want a villa with empty space and for us this was therefore a real bonus point.
The sweet appearance oozes character and it is impossible not to fall in love with. The pool is perfect for dipping in, and the property is bathed in sunlight for most of the day, with shady areas which you can go to cool off it it is too much for you (I would recommend the swing seat that can convert into a bed!). The bedroom houses a grand four poster bed and a brand new bathroom has been installed. The owners have installed all white goods into the property so it is fully up-to-date.
There was only one downside to this property: cat choir (this is what my wife and I started calling it!)
Villa Sofas has a resident cat (who stays outside) called Baby. The only problem is that there are also 5 stray cats who also want a share in what Baby has. The previous occupants had been feeding the entire clowder of cats, so every morning when we woke up, went down to open the door they were there and started their choral acrobatics. If you are not a cat-lover- this property could be your nemesis. We didn't feed any of them over the 5 days and they will scupper with a loud clap, but it did become tiresome.
It is probably useful to note that this property is next to another much larger villa owned by the same owners. Although this wasn't a problem whilst we were there, we could see how if there was a large family who had booked it with children, Villa Sofas would not be its attractive peaceful haven. But as I say, this was not a problem for us.
We both had a wonderful time, and the owners are always on hand to give recommendations and a thorough introduction of the property and the surrounding areas.
A lovely stay in a lovely property!
