A stay at Sophia’s is highly recommended for the soul. Traveling along the gravel road to this olive growing family’s working homestead perched on the hillside is itself part of the adventure and the view is amazing. Although the conveniences of today are tastefully addressed a stay at Sophia’s is to experience layers of history continually from the moment of arrival. This home teaches you about the daily life and ways of old in unforgettable and delightful ways—from being welcomed by cool mountain winds, sounds of birds, and a running stream to using the original family skeleton key, to seeing the inner workings of the olive business—this is learning and leisure for those looking for something different. Sophia is an excellent host, guide, and keeper of family lore which she gladly shares. Five stars and more.
