Easy to see why tripadvisor devotees rave about this place. Terrific value at $40 euro a night in September. Located close enough to town and beach for easy walking, yet far enough away to avoid the madness when the ferry boats and cruise ships come in. Lovely gardens, with abundant bouganvilla offsetting the basic white wall, blue-shutter motif so common... more

Sofia and Manolis Barbaris run a genuinely friendly and welcoming hotel in the centre of town with a beautiful garden. The rooms are larger, more modern and cleaner than usual and we thought very good value for money. In addition to this we arrived towards the tail end of the busy season and their welcome was as warm as as... more

The owners, Sofia and her husband Manolo, were super nice! We felt so welcomed. Manolo picked us up from the port and dropped us off. Their garden is beautiful.. so well-kept. It felt like a second home. Upon entering our room, we were in awe of the decor and every room was decorated differently. Very neat place and we would... more

Myself, my sister and mum stayed at Pension Sophia for four nights on the recommendation of Trip Advisor's high ratings for it. It was simply excellent. We were greeted at the port by Manolos, Sophia's husband and were treated with Class A treatment from the moment we were picked up to the moment we were dropped back off at the... more

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary. It is a nice family run hotel. The place is quiet and is within walking distance of the main town. The staff is kind and they will pick you up and drop you off when you arrive and leave. My only complaint is that it looked as if our room hadn't... more

This was one of the most beautiful settings we have been to in Greece. Large and delightful gardens, fountain and terraces in the middle of olive trees gives you the impression that you are in a 5 star resort! The owners certainly have the "green thumbs" The room we had was on the second floor facing the ocean. We could... more

We spent a lovely few days and the Pension Sofia. We were picked up at the port by Manolis and taken to the hotel. The room was spotlessly clean and very nice. We had a view of the harbour and lovely balcony to relax on. Each morning we had breakfast the gardens - the best location I think I have... more

Staying in the hotel was one of the highlights of a great holiday!! The owners made you feel so welcome, from the pick up at the port, and the cheery welcomes in the morning. We liked it so much that we extended our stay. Our first room was extremely spacious, with a huge balcony. The second was a little smaller,... more
