Detailed Reviews
Myself and my parents stayed at Villa Sonia for the past month and I can honestly say it was one of the best stays we’ve ever experienced. The care, consideration and hospitality provided by Despina made us feel so welcome and safe, especially in light of COVID.
The views were stunning , the recommendations were perfect & the apartments were clean, modern with everything we needed for the stay (anything additional we requested was always catered to)
We are so grateful for everything Despina, Sonia & their beautiful community of friends and family did for us.
We couldn’t recommend Villa Sonia more. Thank you for making our summer break so special! See you VERY soon!

Very well located within Hernossisos, the highlight of our room was a huge balcony and great views of the sea, particularly for sunrise. Sonia was extremely helpful during our stay: responsive, efficient and always very pleasant. Arrived around midnight but still had a very smooth and quick check-in process.

We spent last week (20 - 27 th Sept 2014) at Villa Sonia and we arrived home yesterday. The block is a family run business with Jewellery shop on the ground floor and accommodation above. The hostess was Despina, and she was very helpful and friendly. The apartment was sited away from the, very lively, noisy, hub of Hersonisos, but only a hundred yards or so away.Breakfast was taken at the restaurant across the road and was excellent.
Sea views were the main feature, with the beach only a few yards away across the street, It was all very clean and tidy and the lift worked which is an added bonus. As mentioned by other reviewers, the new bathroom was very swish! Thanks to everyone and we will be back..Sally and Sandy

Very kind and friendly staff. Wonderful view. Really near to the night life but calm and quite where the hotel is. Wonderful to sleep with the sound of the sea...

This hotel has a great sea view and arrangement with an other provider offering a fantastic outdoor Greek breakfast on the beach 50m from the hotel. The owner Sonia is very hospitable and service oriented and I could well imagine returning with my family for vacation.

I stayed there for 2 nights. As it was out of peak period, the area was very (too) quiet. But I felt really good at Villa Sonia. Warm welcome from the friendly owner. Nice and clean room at a very decent price.

We stayed here for two weeks Sept/Oct and had a wonderful time. The apartments had everything we needed and were very comfortable. Loved the sea views ... It was a great location for us. We needed to rest this holiday due to recent family bereavement and illnesses so it helped us to be so close to everything. When we had energy we went further afield and when we didn't the Alia restaurant across the road was brilliant for us. The beach opposite was fine as it was end of season so enough space but in high season you might need to look further afield.
Despina was there to welcome us and help us with anything we needed which was great and the rest of the owners/staff were very welcoming and helpful.
We would be very happy to have another holiday there.

Dear jadelou1982,
first of all we would like to congatulate you on your wedding!
The superior apartments with sea view shares a balcony with the sea view apartments, but are separated with a wooden fence, so i don't think that privacy will be an issue. If you wish you can send us your private e-mail and we can send you some photos of your room. Thank you for choosing Villa Sonia for your accommodation. It will be a pleasure for us to see you in our apartments. Kind regards
Sonia
Dear lisabev123,
as we are just in front of the beach we don't have a pool, but our guests can use the pool at another hotel near by.
We would like to inform you that this winter we renovated our apartments.
We will be more than happy to see you in our apartments.
Kind regards
Sonia
Dear cooperjm16,
check out can be done any time that is convenient for you. There are buses leaving every 30 minutes to Hersonissos and then Villa Sonia is a 10 miute walk from the bus stop.
This winter we are completing the 2nd phase of our renovation and we will be more than happy to see you in our apartments.
Kind regards
Sonia Latsoudi
