About this property

Famous Santorini Villa - Car Rental included- Private & Spacious


Mansion Sophia, a house beloved by photographers and featured in many magazines around the world, is located in the peaceful traditional village of Megalochori, a short drive away from the best attractions & beaches of the island.This famous mansion was built around the mid-19th century and inhabited by one of the feudal wine-exporting landlords of the island at that time.. Access to the house is through imposing large wooden entrance gates into a secluded and very pretty private courtyard, with garden and a beautiful Moroccan-style swimming pool. There is also a smaller courtyard where the guests can enjoy dining «al fresco» under the Santorini skies. The mansion has been beautifully renovated to provide all modern amenities (air conditioning, satellite TV & Netflix, Sonos Audio System) yet retaining the character and style of the original house.
Mansion Sophia is perfect for those who desire absolute relaxation in the utmost atmospheric environment.

-A manual 5-seat Car Rental (Nissan Micra or similar) is offered complimentary for the duration of your stay.
Regarding last minute reservations, the car rental availability cant be guaranteed, depending upon the agent's availability.

Pretty Traditional village stay
Villa Sophia is in the heart of pretty village Megalochori ! 2 minutes walk from bars, restaurants and shops. It is a very quaint traditional villa with dark wood and traditional fittings! The bed was so comfortable and the pool was perfect to cool down in - it was very hot during our stay but inside the villa was cool and the bedroom had air con so comfortable temperature was maintained throughout! The car hire that came with the villa was very easy too ! We turned up at desk inside terminal, gave name and 10 mins later drove away in car ! Parking is in a car park roughly 4min walk from villa ! Everything you need is in the villa for a stay there! And both Takis and Konstantinos were only a call away should you require anything or any assistance! We loved our stay here and totally recommend a stay at this beautiful quaint villa set in a pretty traditional village. Everyone we met was so friendly and helpful. Thank you so much for making our stay so special and wonderful! 😊😍

Excellent accommodation in beautiful village
We would definitely recommend Mansion Sophia highly. Very well appointed and equipped accommodation. Megalochori is a beautifully restored village and virtually pedestrianised apart from the occasional local in a small car or moped, with little or no traffic past the villa. It's a short walk to the square with around 8 restaurants within 10 minutes walk and a wonderful bakery (good for lunchtime sandwiches) around 10 minutes walk - this also sells milk water etc and is open long hours. The caldera is in fact only a short walk from the villa so instead of the crowded streets of Oia, far better to take in the sunset here where there were very people and probably a better view. The transfers and hire car were very well organised. Jackie the concierge greeted us in the village on arrival from the airport, booked our outbound taxi and met us on departure. There is a mobile phone to contact Jackie with any issues which was reassuring. We would recommend a visit to Symposion a music and art centre which is just a few steps away from the villa - we attended a really interesting evening concert of original Greek music using traditional instruments. Overall a very enjoyable stay - Santorini is well worth a visit as it is visually stunning and extremely interesting. There must be few places in the world where one can experience a volcano so closely.

Mansion Sophia is a beautiful and quiet oasis close enough to Oia and Fira but in the nice quiet little town of Megalachori close to the best wineries and beaches and within walking distance of wonderful wineries and restaurants. The accommodation itself is wonderful with a lot of character, a great rooftop for taking in sunrise and sunsets and a wonderful pool and lounging area. Mansion Sophia was immaculately clean and the staff was very helpful with arranging a catamaran tour (highly recommend) and all other matters. We hope to visit again one day!

Magnifique et mémorable séjour
Le service est bien pensé pour un séjour parfait et sans tracas. Transfert, voiture de location à la maison, conciergerie, ménage chaque jour. Takis, Jackie et Bukuria ont été accueillants, dévoués et adorables. La maison est magnifique et pleine de charme. Située en plein coeur, à notre avis, du plus beau village de Santorini. Megalochori est un village typique, élégant, avec peu de touristes. Vous trouverez une boulangerie, vignoble, bons restaurants à quelques pas et épiceries tout près. Les habitants sont sympathiques. Vraiment bien situe pour rayonner et visiter l'ile facilement. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié l'ambiance paisible, chaleureuse et luxueuse, l'excellente play liste, la literie, les peignoirs, les éléments de décors bien choisis, les électro Smeg, le petit bbq au charbon. (parfait pour les grillades et la pieuvre!) L'équipement de cuisine est de base mais fonctionnel pour cuisiner presque tout. Côté confort, seul bémol, la gestion de l'eau chaude à mettre en marche à chaque utilisation (douche trop chaude ou trop froide). Les jardins, la piscine sont aménagés et paysagés avec goût. C'est un endroit parfait pour la relaxation, en amoureux ou en famille. Nous y avons passé la première semaine de novembre et contrairement à nos attentes, la température nous a permis de profiter amplement des chaises longues et de la piscine et nous avons pu visiter l'ile sans souffrir de la chaleur parfois accablante à certains moments de l'année. Nous avons aimé cette période du début de la basse saison. Somme toute, une expérience fabuleuse et mémorable dans une maison de charme, l'une des plus belles du village, nous sommes heureux d'avoir fait un si bon choix.

Authentic hideaway
A beautiful authentic villa in a traditional village with all the home comforts you need - in aficionados to the excellent correspondence with the management we were greeted by Nicholas and taken from the airport and met by a friendly Jackie to guide us around the home and be given great tips for our stay - would highly recommend and had an amazing stay !
