From the moment we arrived Rena, Sofi and their entire family were superb hosts and really made our visit to Naxos very special. They were all exceptionally helpful acquainting us to their island and they also made many excellent tourist recommendations; from restaurants located in the city center to visits to villages nestled in the interior of the island. All the other rave reviews are not exaggerating- staying at Pension Sofi will be a highlight of your trip, don’t hesitate to book your stay.

Lovely, comfortable family run hotel
Wonderful family run hotel, close to the port and everything else. We were picked up at the ferry by the owner and returned to the ferry when we left. Lovely room with kitchenette, balcony, modern bathroom. We were served breakfast each morning, coffee, homemade baked goods and fresh fruit. Would definitely return!

Superb
Family owned apartment hotel. Sophi’s dad picked us up from the port and her mom made us very welcome. The studio apartment was very clean and comfortable. The hotel is nicely decorated and well maintained. Convenient location for beach, shops, restaurants and busses. Walkable distance to see the amazing sunset view from the Temple of Apollo. Sophi made me a bracelet as a souvenir. I am planning to go back next year.

We stayed in Pension Sofi for a week. They recommended several great local restaurants and places to visits. The most impressive experience here is that there is not so tourist here, just like stay at friend's house. We really enjoy our stay here!

We loved being met by a member of the family who run Pension Sofi when we arrived at the port, and having sights, restaurants and more pointed out en route to the hotel. Cosy breakfasts with other guests and the family were a welcome start to the day. Our room was spacious and comfortable and the inclusion of the little clothes line on the balcony was very handy. The decor was very smart and fresh.would love to return here some day, as so many guests seem to do.

The owners were very friendly and they go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your time on naxos. They picked us up from the port, kept our luggage the day we checked out and met us at the port with our luggage. They did prefer their payment in cash which we hadn't been aware of, but otherwise the stay was great.

It was a quick stop...
Just one night between sailing and leaving Naxos but so welcoming and comfortable for our needs (shower, bed and AC). The hosts treated us to a welcome drink and figs from the garden, a pick up service and a lift to the airport. Walking distance to the main town area, ferry and laundry. A bit noisy in the street at night, but not excessive and probably normal for an "in town" location!

Excellent place to stay!
We spent three nights at Pension Sofi as part of an island-hopping trip and it was pretty much our favourite of all the places we stayed, mostly because of how incredibly hospitable the people who run it are. Full of information about Naxos, they plied us with homemade cakes, fresh fruit and salad from their garden and samples of wine from their vineyards at every opportunity. The room itself was lovely - simple, clean and homely - and is in a great location very close to the sea-front whilst also being set back from all the hustle and bustle of town. We got a good deal booking it and felt we had received incredibly value for money - staying there was such a pleasant experience. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Small place with a big heart
Rena and her family made our stay at their beautiful pension memorable. Their warmth and generous hospitality was amazing - from picking us up from the port, providing us with home produce, giving us tips on sights to visit to offering to take us to the airport. Our room was comfortable and clean. Location was an easy walk to the bus station and cafés . We will definetly come back when next at Naxos.

Best Hospitality
Pension Sofi has fantastic reviews and deserves them all. They picked us up at the port even though it's a 5 minute walk! They were friendly, gave us a map of what to visit and even called the rent-a-car place for us. You will fall in love with this family! Only negative is they do not serve breakfast and a good breakfast is hard to find in Naxos (in the low season).

We had excellent friendly service and even an unexpected pick up and drive to Pension Sofi. We found the pillows very uncomfortable and during the night wanted a blanket but none were available. The TV did not work and there wasn't any one around to ask about it .

Wonderful - felt like home!
We stayed for two nights in Pension Sofi and truly felt like we had been welcomed by the Greek family we never knew we had! Rena and her family were so attentive to our needs and questions, and always had the perfect recommendations. Plus, the complimentary snacks were the perfect way to satiate our appetites after the ferry ride! If you are in Naxos, I highly recommend staying here.

Excellent in every way
The hosts were some of the finest folks we've met. They were generous with their hospitality, their tourist advice and with the daily treats of cake and coffee and raki. The pick up and drop off at the port were particularly appreciated. I would recommend this place highly and would certainly stay again myself.

Great base to get the best out of Naxos
The staff at Sofi couldn't have done more to make our stay more enjoyable. Transfers from the airport and to the port, complimentary food surprises, car hire delivered to our door and free wifi all helped to make our stay memorable. Will stay here again if ever in Naxos.

A place that worths returning again and again.
A wonderful hotel, owners and hospitallity, willing to help you with anything you ask for, giving advices where to go around the island and offering us free coffee, sweets and fruits every morning. The hotel is 10 minutes by feet from the port and though we were picked by Theodorous by their van and the same at our departure. The room was extremly clean, decorated with fine touch, bathroom is wide spaced and the shower as well with cosy showerhead. They have a parking place, which feats 4 cars but it is close to old part of town.

hôtes accueillants et séjour agréable
nous avons passé 4 nuits à la pension Sofi avec nos deux enfants. Les chambres sont propres, un peu petites mais assez confortables. Certaines ont même une petite cuisine et on peut prendre quelques repas sur le balcon, ce qui est pratique avec les enfants et quand on veut éviter d'aller au restaurant tous les jours. Et puis, Réna, la propriétaire, vient parfois, apporter des fruits pour le petit-déjeuner . Elle et son mari sont très accueillants. Ils viennent vous chercher au port et ils nous ont même apporté les valises pendant qu'on profitait une dernière fois de l'île avant de reprendre le bateau. La pension est bien située et très calme. Nous avons loué une voiture sur une journée, grâce à Réna, et les paysages de Naxos sont magnifiques. Bref, à recommander.

A warm welcome
Rena and her husband were absolutely lovely to us through the whole stay : they came to get us from the ferry, offered us a homemade snack and coffee, and gave us loads of advice on how to discover Naxos island. The room and bathroom were adorable and clean, and the view from the balcony beautiful. The bed was a little too hard for my taste though. There is wifi, breakfast is not included but you get coffee and some cookies in the kitchen where everyone comes say hi in the morning. We even got transfered to our next location (another hotel in Naxos). I definitely recommend Pension Sofi, especially for the warmth of its hosts.
