Hotel Sofia

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.

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 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 .
