Sofia's sea view house — Hotel in Municipality of Spata - Artemida

For starters, the place was clean and convenient for a one-night stay if you need to be close to the airport. However, accessing the home was extremely difficult, and the doorbell was broken, leaving us waiting outside for 15-20 minutes. It was nearly impossible to contact the host, and we had to resort to banging on the gate and calling out repeatedly.

Once we were finally settled, the host informed us that our reservation had been canceled that morning, claiming we had requested the cancellation, which we had not. There was a misunderstanding, but they notified us that we could pay in cash to reinstate the booking.

Our biggest concern was the way we were treated during this interaction. The host, who does not speak any English, was quite rude and dismissive. While it’s understandable that payment was required, the manner in which this was communicated was unprofessional. Instead of calmly explaining the situation and outlining the steps we needed to take, they made us feel unwelcome and pressured.

Additionally, they did not inform us of the cancellation until 5-6 hours after we had already placed our bags in the home, gone out to eat, and explored the area. They waited until we returned late at night to inform us of the issue, which was very inconvenient.

While the home was clean, we did encounter cockroaches in the kitchen, which was unsettling. Overall, this is a place you might consider for a short stay or overnight if you’re in a pinch, but nothing more. Communication was a significant challenge, as we had to rely on Google Translate to speak with the host, and there were no instructions provided in the room, requiring us to go downstairs frequently to ask...

Staying on Sofi's Seaview Villa was one of the best travel experiences I and my family have ever had! Starting with the excellent communications where they answered all my questions, to arriving and taking us to the BEUTIFUL apartment, it could not have been smoother!

Sofi's Seaview Villa place was perfect for us 4, quiet, clean, spacious, calming and Sofia welcomed us with open arms! It is very private and an excellent place to return after a long day of sightseeing. We appreciated the spacious, well equipped kitchen and coffee in the morning! It is very near the sea with beautiful view and close to the airport. Sofia picked up us at the airport at midnight with smile and on the next morning not only took us to the Car Rent company where we booked the car, but even made clear that we got our car smooth and safe!

I would definitely come again and would absolutely recommend...

Our flight was cancelled so we had to find a nice place to stay not too far from the airport. The apartment was really nice and clean, very, very comfortable bed (she told us it was brand new), great host Sofia, who doesn't speak English but with Google translator we managed to have all the information needed. She also drove us to the airport at 3.30am for a reasonable price. Very good recommendation for the restaurant too. We really...
