We can't say enough wonderful things about our stay at Villa Sophia! Our hosts were incredible, communicated very well and waited for us to arrive even after being dropped off by a taxi driver at the wrong place. Any questions we had-were answered quickly.
This place is a hidden gem. In a small neighborhood where everyone knows each other and ready to help you. The neighbors came over to help us open our door and greet us as well! When dining at a nearby tavern the host talked about Sophia and how her grandson Konstantinos made a beautiful home that the community is proud of. Everyone felt as if they were family (And I think they are family?) to each other.
The place itself is brilliant. All redone to perfectioon with photos of the family that lived there for over a century. We felt like we were in a mini-greek palace. The common spaces are beautiful and comfortable. Unique places to curl up with a book or view over the city to the water. The outdoor areas are amazing. The beds comfortable and clean. Kitchen perfect.
I went with my 22 year old son and he loved his space where his bedroom was and called it "My Lair". Modern touches, fast internet allowed me to work when I needed---and easy access to transportation right out our door.
We loved how the story of the restoration and family history was throughout the mini-palace!
One of my favorites on Airbnb. It was a great stay! Thank you for having us Konstantinos and Jeanette!
