If you stay at Villa Sofia, you are in for SUCH a special and memorable time!! When we were looking for where to stay in Rhodes, we fell in love with this villa the minute we saw the listing- and I have to tell you, as lovely as the photos are, it’s even more beautiful in real life!
Every single detail in this house is so thoughtfully put together, and you can feel how much love has gone into the redesigning and modernizing.
In the house there is a guide book which Konstantinos and his wife have written for guests- and it was amazing, truly the most useful and detailed air bnb guidebook I’ve ever seen! In addition to details about the house, amenities, the village and the island of Rhodes, there are also maps, and a wonderful detailed story of the history of the house and it’s renovation, which made us love and care for it so much more as well. And our favorite inclusion in the book- a whole bunch of traditional Greek recipes in case you are so inclined to cook in the gorgeous kitchen- which we did, a lot!
If you want to make Greek classics like stuffed grape leaves, hummus, lemon chicken and potatoes, souvlaki and other delicious dishes, you have detailed recipes, as well as excellent modern local supermarkets outside the village where you can buy everything you need. The kitchen is so beautiful and just begs to be cooked in, if you like that!
Communication with Konstantinos was beyond fantastic- whenever we needed anything at all, he answered messages within minutes, at any time of day. And when our flight arrived to the island at the crazy hour of 4:00 in the morning, he was there waiting for us at the Villa, to show us around and welcome us in.
He also took the time and care to stock the fridge with basics such as milk, juice, bread, coffee, fruit, ham and cheese, so we wouldn’t have to go shopping the second we landed. We were traveling with kids, so this was so welcome to us, to be able to arrive and then have the necessities for breakfast waiting for us!
The showers were stocked with gorgeous Greek olive oil-based shampoos and conditioners, and there were lovely colorful Turkish towels for us to use at the beach.
Overall, this was one of the finest air bnb experiences we have ever had, I can’t say enough good things about our week in the beautiful Villa Sofia!!
Thank you Konstantinos! We will definitely be returning to Rhodes in the future!
