Guest reviews for Villa Sofia
"Location very good. Employees at your service trying to help both Catherina and Salima. The front view on the beach and the Kayak were a bonus for the kids. despite the weather, we enjoyed staying on the Jaccuzzi and enjoying time with kids. continuous support from the team close to the grocery shop close to the domestic airport cozy and safe"
"Smell of the house at entrance. absence of maintenance of the house, it could be a gems if small maintenance/enhancement are done. a lot of Lizards inside the house causing disturbance for the kids"
"At Villa Sofia, we found everything we were looking for—peace, quiet, privacy, and beautiful views. Cathrina is a wonderful person and an amazing host who prepared the most delicious dinners for us every day using local ingredients. We were absolutely delighted with our stay; it felt like we had a piece of peaceful paradise all to ourselves."
"Aucun."
"We loved the location directly on a white sandy private beach with real Seychelles rocks in a huge garden with the amazing property manager Catherina who made us feel like home. We came back for the second time for 12 nights and will definitely return to villa Sofia (we have been on the Seychelles many many times before but are super happy to have found villa Sofia). The breakfast at the Gazebo with the view on Cousin island is unbeatable. The whole staff is wonderful also the gardener. And sundowners are mindblowing… you can directly watch the spectacle every evening while a delicious dinner is prepared by you by Catherina."
"Nothing. We loved it all."
"Excellent property and spacious. Right on the beach"
"Stormy ocean in june. Property aging"
"We loved the entire property, big rooms and a beautiful terrace for everyone you enjoy, the outdoor jacuzzi was amazing and the private sandy beach just for us was unbelievable, a dream! The host was very kind to help us before with all the questions we had! The extra plus was Cathrina who was cooking for us creole food every evening we loved it so much all of us, we didn’t want to leave! Highly recommended and will return!"
"NA"
"Great contact with the owners - quick and always helpful. The Villa's location is perfect - a piece of paradise just for yourself. Katherina and Marielle will make you feel so welcome and they can cook the most delicious dinner too. Absolutely amazing place that I will recommend and come back for sure."
"Nothing to mention"
"Priestranná plne vybavená vila v súkromnej záhrade priamo na pláži v tichom prostredí. Veľká terasa s rozličnými možnosťami sedenia. Pravidelne dopĺňaná pitná voda. Denné upratovanie a staroatlivosť o záhradu. Nápomocný personál."
"Mierne tvrdšie postele. Slabo odtekajúca voda v odtokoch. Dom vyžadujúci celkovú rekonštrukciu. Na mnohých veciach vidno, že sú už po životnosti alebo veľmi amatérsky spravené alebo nedotiahnuté detaily, napr. káble trčiace zo steny. Po veľkom daždi kvapkalo zo stropu vo WC."
"Het huis heeft een prachtige buitenruimte en ligt direct aan zee."
"Je ziet dat het al een ouder huis is, dit zie je aan de afwerking. Wij hadden geen auto gehuurd en dan is het lastiger om naar een restaurant te gaan. Daar heb je dan echt een taxi voor nodig. Locale vervoer werkt namelijk 's avonds niet meer."
"Tolles Frühstück. Cathrina war die Seele des Hauses. Traumhafte Köchin. Süper Lage direkt am Strand."
"Wohngebäude (Villa Sofia) etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Renovierungsbedürftig."
"Nous avons apprécié l’emplacement de rêve au bord de la plage et face aux couchers du soleil, les équipements extérieurs (jacuzzi, chaises longues et le pavillon extérieur que nous avons beaucoup utilisé), la maison est fonctionnelle et surtout la présence de Cathrina est un vrai atout. Une personne dévouée, gentille qui cuisine d’excellents plats."

"Everything about the apartment is 10/10 everything there is neat and the attend to you very well and they make you comfortable as family and if I am going back to seashells again, I would love to stay in the same apartment.😊"
"An amazing view from the balcony, the apartment is well equipped and very affordable for this area. It was quiet and peaceful. 5 minute drive to Anse Petite (but you have to leave the car at the hotel parking and walk 10 min to the beach) and 5 minutes to Anse Soleil (can drive almost to the beach). About 40 min from the airport. We spent a week there and truly enjoyed it. The hosts are super friendly and helped us a lot with bookings, taxis, appliances etc. They also brought us fruit from their garden, which was very nice. Would definitely come back!"
