Guest reviews for Villa Sofia
"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."
"Ras"
"Wir waren jetzt das 2.Mal in der Villa Sofia. Die Villa liegt perfekt...direkt am wunderschönen Anse Kerlan mit direktem Strandzugang Die Betreuung durch Katharina 😍und 5 Sterne für ihre tollen kreolischen Gerichte 👌🏼 Die große Terrasse mit vielen Sitzgelegenheiten Man ist hier für sich und genießt die Ruhe. Wir würden die Villa wieder buchen."
"Der Villa würde ein kleines Update nicht schaden, zB Whirlpool hat leider nicht funktioniert."

Patricia Anne Hillside Apartment
"We came from Israel for 2 days in Green garden self catering. Rosmary the owner is a very pleasent person welcomed us with fruits from her garden and helped us with everything we needed to know. The two floor private house is big, with 2 bedroom and full equiped kitchen. The house is in the rain forest so it is really amazing and green. The house is close to the beach ( 5 min walk on the forest), to the waterfall and to restaurants and supermarket. Port glaud is amazing! We surely will come back to green garden of Rosemary. Thank you Rosemary!"
