The owners were very nice and helpful, and the garden was very pretty. However I was expecting a sea view and the only way to see the sea was to stand on the balcony. The hotel was on a street that felt run down. The beach you could walk to was not inviting to sit on.
The room was clean but very small.

This was a worderful place to stay. The owners were always helpful and a pleasure to deal with. The property was well maintained and the room we stayed in was spotless. The pension was 2 blocks from the beach and tthe property was on a dead end road. My wife and I would highly recommend this place. We travelled alone but children are quite welcome.

“A paradise in Paros”

One day we decided to go to Paros.
We found by Internet a pension,named Pension Sofia.
We went there and stay for a whole week.
owners of this earthly paradise are manolis and Sofia,two wonderful peoples,with a large smile on their faces and always ready to help us at any time we need it.
"Pension Sofia" is a pension with beautiful and very clean rooms full of comfores,like a five star hotel!!!!.
What J'm suppose to say about mister Manolis and his great garden with all these wonderful flowers,or about Sofia(his wife)...who every morning offered us delicius cakes and brioches!
Manolis and Sofia also have a daughter full of sweetness.You enjoy watching her to take care of her little animals:a dog.a cat and am sweet rabbit.
These people live fact very beloved in a paradise...and we loved this paradise named Paros because of them.
So.... see you next year!!!

A lovely, family-run hotel with a beautiful garden. The hotel is beautiful. Breakfasts were amazingly good and tasted even better eaten under one of the many pergolas that dot the garden. Our room - booked at the last possible moment - was small but very comfortable, cheerful, and clean. Sofia and Manolis make you feel like you're special friends who've come for a visit. Manolis not only picked us up at the ferry at 1:30am, he drove us to our next hotel in Naoussa! Incredibly reasonably priced and great value for the money.

“Happy to return to this pearl”

Pension Sofia

15 Jul 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

I was so pleased to have a chance to return to this pearl of a hotel in summer, after having visited in April 2007. The accomodation is clean and an excellent value, given the large balconies and lush gardens around. Sofia and Manolis are charming hosts and go out of their way to make sure guests are comfortable and happy. And it's a short walk to the beach and some great restaurants.

A truly memorable place!
