  The perfect base from which to explore!

  11 Aug 2019

  This was an ideal room to use as a base to explore! Only a stones throw from stunning views of the island, above a shop so very convenient, on a strip of restaurants, but as soon as the door is shut, you can’t hear anything from any of them! The pool is lovely. Very effective air con in the room! And only a 10-15 min walk from Fira where you can get the bus to the likes of Oia and Kamari - both worth a visit.

  Wonderful Hotel

  01 Jul 2019

  Stayed here 22nd - 27th June '19. Lovely hotel in a perfect location whether you are on a budget or not. Views across to the other side of the island from the pool area but only a 10 second walk to the fantastic Caldera view, and only a 5 minute walk into Fira. At least 10 restaurants on your doorstep and a small supermarket underneath the hotel. The family who run the Sofia were perfect hosts. Nothing was too much trouble and they went over and above to ensure our visit went well. We will definitely return and highly recommend this hotel.

  Charming

  02 Jun 2019

  Charming boutique hotel in the heart of Firestofani . Very close to bars , restaurants , shops etc . Quite affordable price point as well .Rooms were basic, quite small but clean and comfortable. Good air con . Lovely bar fridge with a complimentary bottle of water and small bottle of wine . Such a lovely thoughtful touch which we really appreciated .Staff organised our pick up from the airport as well as our return transfer to the Port .There is a lovely terrace outside as well as a rooftop area for viewing the sunset although you are better off walking down the street for 2 minutes and seeing it from there .Staff greeted us when we arrived at 9 am after an early flight from Venice . They were friendly and we were able to store our bag until check in time (1pm). We went and had breakfast and then a walk into town to explore and by the time we got back our room was ready . To our surprise they had even taken our bags to our rooms . This was great because Greece was the last stop for us of a 3 month European adventure and we were tired of carrying our bags up stairs (lol).Because this was the second last stop for us we didn’t book any tours but chose to do self guided walking tours in the morning and spend the afternoon lazing by the pool .All in all a delightful stay made better by the friendly staff . I would certainly book again should I ever return to Santorini. Thankyou Sofia and team .

  Perfect Choice

  20 Oct 2018

  This mid-range small family-run hotel has a great location, comfortable rooms, and a small pool. The hotel only has 6 rooms,(all accessed by a long flight of stairs) each opening out onto a common patio equipped with drying clothes rack, tables and chairs. In room air conditioning was excellent and the location was quiet. We really enjoyed watching the sunrise from the rooftop and sunset from the nearby lookout point. The hotel is located on the walking/hiking commercial walkway that runs along the cliff from Oia to Thira. The area has many restaurant choices, from budget to deluxe that would suit every wallet. There is no reception desk, the property also runs a small convenience shop next door,and you "check in" at the shop. We bought fresh bread, honey and yogurt at the local mini mart for breakfast and ate on the common patio outside our room with a view each morning. The rooms were equipped with kettle and instant coffee or tea for breakfast. Although we walked into Thira a few times, we also took the local bus back to Firostefani after a full day of activities. We were very glad to be on the edges of the touristic section of town. The only problem we had was confusion on the first day when our transport delivered us to the wrong "Sofia Suites" in nearby Imerovigli. In actual fact, there are several accommodations on the island with the name "Sofia". Be sure to specify the Firostefani property if you are using a driver.

  basic clean room in a small hotel

  13 Oct 2018

  See pics to get an idea - shop on a main street manages few rooms as hotel. Rude lady who is owner as well. Rooms are just ok with basic clean furnishing. Bathrooms are tiny with poor workmanship - door knob difficult to operate, shower head too close to the wall (See pics). We wanted to leave our luggage for later pick up and lady told us to pick it before 9 PM when they close the pool while shop is open till 11 PM. Daughter Sofia is lovely to talk to and is more helpful and courteous :-)
