Cannot recommend Villa Sophia enough!
Submitted: October 25, 2011
Stayed: September 2011
What fantastic memories my husband and I have of Villa Sophia!
7 nights in paradise is how we describe this Villa to our friends back in australia.
We found Villa Sophia on line and booked our whole USA holiday around staying at this Villa! and we are so glad we did.
The attention to detail, location & cleanliness of the Villa was excellent.
The friendliness of host Tim & Pet host Sophie was really great, especially when nothing is too much for Tim (like checking I didnt leave the straightener on when I had left for the day!!).
Tim leaves you to live in the Villa as if it where your own home! Pet dog Sophie visiting us for her dog biscuits helped too..
We spent many days sitting on the Deck Lounge chairs sunning ourselves & relaxing by the pool and thinking wow this is so awesome!
I can't recommend Villa Sophia enough to anyone staying in the la area. The location near all the places we wanted to explore was ideal, like Runyon Canyon, Griffith Park, Beverley Hills, Venice Beach etc.. and best of all we felt safe.
Thanks Tim & Sophie! We hope that we can stay with you again in the near future :-)

My husband and I have had on heck of a stressful summer, and really needed to relax and unwind. We found Villa Sophia and thought it was just the ticket...and it was! We swam in the beautiful crystal clear pool everyday, sipped champagne in the hot tub while enjoying the fabulous city lights of downtown la at night, and the steam shower in the awesome master bath was just what the doctor ordered. Our little dog, CoCo, loved the beautiful grounds so much, that when it was time to leave, she wouldn't budge. We had to carry her out (to be honest, we didn't want to leave either!). We come to la often and we will be back. Such a treat!!!

We loved to be at the overwhelming tuscan hilltop villa, enjoying the pool, the luxury outdoor spa and of course the amazing, incredible Los Angeles skyline view. We definitey will come back again. Great and very secure neighborhood, great restaurants nearby, very nice village of Los Feliz. Griffith Park and Observatory very near. Espescially the big bathroom with the sauna we used everyday. Fire place at the bedroom is great for romantic evenings.

This was the second time we have stayed at Villa Sophia.
It is a fantastic place to stay. Close enough to downtown LA, 10 minutes drive, Universal Studios and Griffin Park but tucked away in the hills that you would not realise you were so close.
We stayed here for our anniversary. It was extremely romantic. We especially enjoyed watching the sunsets from the hot tub.
It is great value compared to a five star hotel with the various taxes, parking and internet charges.
Facilities include a shower room that turns into a steam room, hot tub, swimming pool, exercise mats and weights.
Villa Sophia has a homely feel added to with the appearance of the owners dog, Sophie who was really friendly and fun.

Our Favorite Los Angeles 5 Star Hotel
Submitted: July 18, 2011
Stayed: May 2011
Enticed by the enchanting photos of Villa Sophia, my 21 year old daughter and I soon found ourselves outside it's walled gate and door. Tim, the villa's charming owner, welcomed us and graciously escorted us to the pool house . Well, the photos had lured us, and the actual experience captivated us. So much so that we promptly booked our next longer stay even prior to departure! Although typically guests of many of the 5 Star hotels in the Los angeles area, this time we found ourselves seemingly magically transported into a whole other world, easily making this our overall favorite. What was best about it? The privilege of finding ourselves enjoying top notch accommodations within a space whose dimensions seamlessly expanded to include the breathtaking garden and pool, with vistas of the skyline twinkling in the background. There are no bad days here - even on a rainy morning we happily sipped coffee by the crackling fireplace and marveled at the almost fairy tale like setting we found ourselves in. The photos and description of this property are modest in terms of what we actually enjoyed. What remains an additional plus is the warmth and grace of it's owner, who has left no stone unturned to ensure that his pampered guests feel happy, welcome, and at home!

We recently spent 6 days at this wonderful property. From the moment we arrived we knew we had picked the perfect place. The accommodation, grounds, pool, view, all remarkable. Our host Tim was very gracious and we appreciated the privacy provided by this terrific home. The location was perfect, and my husband enjoyed being able to have his daily 'runs' in the area.
This property is the place for those seeking something special and exclusive in the heart of LA!
Many thanks Tim! We shall return!

"THE BEST VACATION EVER!"
The Villa is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. It is absolutely gorgeous with its view of downtown L.A., the pool and everything that makes the experience Tuscan as well as Hollywoodesque. The first class furniture and accessories ranges from Cartier key chains to a wonderfully soft Williams- Sonoma cashmere blanket which adds to the luxurious feel to the place . Needless to say everything was clean and very comfortable (I'm especially thinking about the bed which was particularly comfortable- I've never slept so well!).
Everything from booking, paying, checking in, to staying at the Villa has been a pleasure. Tim is the perfect host- barely visible but always very welcoming. My fiancé and I enjoyed the stay so much that we instantly started to plan our return to the Villa.
To verbalize how we feel about our stay at the Villa is much harder than I imagined- there's simply no words! Let me just say that it was an outstanding vacation rental and that I think it's by far the best way to experience Los angeles!

I just had the pleasure of staying at The Villa Sophia for the 3rd time and another review is in order because there are new luxuries since my trip - including a gorgeous new bed, walk ways with flowers, 2 huge olive trees that lend the perfect amount of shade to the lounge chairs by the pool, aqua de parma amenities - yum! And lastly, it was raining and I discovered the fireplace, which made a dreary week, cozy and warm. Once again, it's simply the best "hotel room" in LA - even in the rain! Highly recommended!

Villa Sophia is Breathtaking
Submitted: March 30, 2011
Stayed: March 2011
There isn't a word in the Webster Dictionary to describe how wonderful my stay was at the Villa Sophia. From the time I reserved it online Tim was the elite professional and provided information to the letter without a hiccup. I was skeptical at first as I was coming from a great distance - the middle east and had never rented a vacation property. But Tim quickly put to rest any uncertainty. The pictures on the internet DOESN'T do Villa Sophia any justice but I understand you have to put something up for advertisement. Tim has opened his wonderful pool house to the world and I encourage anyone looking for something special and unique then this is the place. I will never stay in a hotel again as long as VIlla Sophia is available when I'm in the Los Angeles area. Los Feliz hills is a well kept secret that I'm glad I stumbled up on. The local attractions were cozy, laid back and romantic. So may I extend my sincere thanks and gratitude to Tim for opening the Villa Sophia to me. JW

Worth every cent!
We feel so lucky to have secured a booking here Tim and Sophia were perfect hosts -giving us sufficient privacy not to intrude but also did not make us feel forgotten.We stayed in 5 star hotels in New York and San Francisco and the comfort and facilities in Villa Sophia surpassed both.We especially liked the espresso machine, steam room/shower and open fire. (and Sophie of course)
We will definitely return- next time for a longer stay.
