I loved my stay at Sofos Apartments and would absolutely not hesitate to recommend a stay here. Athina and her family were absolutely lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them. The apartments themselves were perfect with beautiful views, and clean and well equipped. The surrounding gardens are also beautiful and well maintained and I enjoyed my early evenings in the hammock with my book and a small beer! It was a perfect little Greek hideaway and I will definitely be back. Thank you so much for having me :)

A real hidden gem
This was a magical place to stay. A real family run place with incredible hospitality, peaceful atmosphere and views to die for. Everything is beautifully maintained and tended to, from the 800 year old olive trees, to the canopies of vines and bourgainvillea all around providing protection from the sun. If you are after 5* luxury, this is not the place for you, but if you want real Greek hospitality in a beautiful setting with spectacular views over Tsivili beach, I would recommend Sofos 100%. I will not be staying anywhere else!

Stunning views - wonderful property
It is difficult for me to say anything bad about these apartments - truth be told I can't rate them and the owners highly enough. It's one of those cases where you want everyone to appreciate them but on the other hand don't want them to be so popular I cannot get another booking! I know the Greek people are friendly but the family who own the apartments go above and beyond to make your stay as comfortable and as enjoyable as possible

Gli appartamenti godono di una suggestiva vista mare e sono immersi in uno splendido giardino fiorito,circondato da ulivi.Athina si è messa a disposizione con grande generosità e attenzione,ci ha fornito consigli preziosi per visitare spiagge o scoprire ristoranti fuori dai percorsi turistici consueti, ci ha assicurato il transfer gratuito da e per l’aeroporto,una dolcissima padrona di casa

Abbiamo alloggiato per 7 giorni in questa struttura.. Non ho parole per descrivere la bellezza del posto, la vista spettacolare che ci ha svegliate e dato la buonanotte tutti i giorni.. La gentilezza della proprietaria è sconcertante.. Tsilivi, la città ai piedi di questa struttura, offre qualsiasi tipo di servizio e ottimo punto per raggiungere tutti i luoghi di interesse.. Consigliatissimo, se dovessi ritornare a Zante sicuro alloggerei qui

Usanze tribali
Al momento di prenotare sapevo che gli appartamenti sarebbero stati spartani e ci stava bene visto il prezzo pagato.Sapevamo pure che asciugamani e lenzuola sarebbero stati cambiati ogni tre giorni.Ma la pretesa di non buttare la carta igienica nel water e conservarla, magari anche quella per tre giorni in appositi contenitori nel bagno stesso , come da vecchia usanza tribale greca , proprio no.Il bagno piccolo e senza bidè poi completano il quadro.La doccia non ha tendine per cui si allaga tutto.Occorrerebbe un saliscendi di plastica di pochi euro per utilizzarla alla meno peggio.Il frigo in camera è rumoroso per cui la notte è d'obbligo spegnerlo per riposare.La prima colazione al bar , non compresa ,è prevalentemente all'inglese.Non sanno cosa siano i croissant e in generale la colazione internazionale con frutta yogurt cereali torte latte caffè toast etcetcetcetc.NB La carta igienica la abbiamo buttata nel water e non è successo nulla dei macelli idraulici paventati dalla proprietaria che appena arrivati si è raccomandata soprattutto di dirci questo.

Dear guest, we think you have misunderstood some issues. Most important is that when we told you NOT to throw paper in the toilet, it was not meant that the flood will be in your studio. The flood happened to the studio under you. So, since you admit that that was your fault, please contact us to pay for the damage. Second, and also important when we book a studio and confirm the number of guests, if you have an animal with you, you have to declare it also. We are animal friendly, but you have to confirmed and also have a special bed for your animal. NOT to leave the animal alone and free inside the room for the whole day, barging and bother the other guests. Also, it is polite NOT to fight with your partner every day, because the other guests came to relax not to hear people shouting at each other. Since, it is written that we change sheets and towels, and clean the room every 3 days( as I also wrote you on the messages), you already knew that. And still, since you asked, we collect your trash every day and give new towels and beach towels everyday, since the sea has salt as your wife told me.( maybe it was your first time in the sea). About the breakfast is NOT included, so it was not necessity to have it in the bar. Our suggestion is to take some time read and understand what is included in an English breakfast, what is in a continental and what in an all inclusive buffet. As I am aware of, at the bar there are plenty options of breakfast and beverages and also yogurt with fruits, that you wanted that much. In conclusion, I suggest you to read and see all the photos included in a hotel file, before booking, since nowhere shown bathroom with shower curtain or bidet, and we do not understand how they will be in your room. Last but not least, our photos are 100% real. Thank you. Best regards, Athina Sofou sofos apartments

Grazioso studio a due passi dal mare
Abbiamo soggiornato per nove notti nella struttura. La stanza è vista mare e vicina al centro. Posizione strategica per visitare l'isola. Il personale è super gentile.
