About this property

The breakfast spread was a real highlight, with eggs prepared in different ways, cheeses, cold cuts, fresh vegetables, Greek yogurt and plenty of toppings, cereal, pastries, fresh juices, and an espresso machine. The hotel was beautiful and clean, and it was close to Plakias with lots of free parking. We’re glad we picked it and would stay again if we’re back in the area.

Restaurants and shops are easy to reach, and there’s free parking around the corner. It’s a friendly, family-run hotel with a great breakfast buffet. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a place to stay near Plakias.

The breakfast was excellent every day, with plenty to choose from. It’s a family-run place that’s kept to a very high standard. The rooms are nicely decorated and equipped, and the huge beds are really comfortable. They cleaned the rooms daily, changing the bedding and towels every three days. Great spot within the resort.

Plakias is lovely, with lots of beautiful beaches and walking routes nearby. I’ve stayed at this hotel three times and have been happy with it each time. It’s centrally located, and the rooms are comfortable and very clean. The staff do their best to help with any problems. I could find everything I wanted at the breakfast buffet. If I come back to Plakia, I’ll book here again for sure.

This was another lovely two-week stay at Sofia, my third visit. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the location is great, and breakfast has a good range of choices. I’ve already booked again for next year. Thanks to all the team at sofia, see you next year!
