New for 2026, guests can enjoy our Scandinavian-style outdoor sauna, thoughtfully designed to help you relax and recharge after a day of adventure. Robes, sauna towels, and complimentary sauna oils are provided for those wishing to enjoy this newest addition to the property.
Villa Sofia comfortably accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms and is particularly well suited to families. We provide many of the thoughtful touches we appreciate when travelling ourselves, including quality linens, fluffy towels, a fully equipped kitchen, family-friendly amenities, an EV charger, and a spacious garden with plenty of room to relax and play.

Had a lovely week at this property, it was exactly as described. It is in a great location and although the weather wasn't brilliant, we found tons to do.
Donna was super helpful and we would love to visit the property again.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. There’s lots of living space, beds are comfortable, very well stocked with anything you need and a beautiful outdoor area. It’s also great for children. Donna is very responsive to any questions/needs.
An amazing property- great location, in immaculate condition, beautifully furnished and really well stocked for a family to self cater. I’d give 6 stars if I could! Attention to detail- from kitchen essentials to board games made it a perfect location
This was our second time at villa Sofia and we had another fantastic stay. The weather was great so we enjoyed plenty of time on the beach. The location is excellent. The property and garden is beautifully presented and well equipped for all ages. We can’t wait to return, I’m sure we will be back again soon.
This is a fabulous house, super well equipped kitchen, and very spacious. The outside space with a big table and comfortable chairs on the deck, and the pretty garden are a real bonus We absolutely loved our stay !!
We cannot say enough positive things about this home and our stay there. It was so clean and beautifully decorated and the hosts went out of their way to add so many special touches to make our stay there comfortable and welcoming. It is by far one of the nicest VRBO properties we have stayed at in the US and Europe. Communication was wonderful with the host and the process was very simple and straightforward. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in England.
We have just returned from a truly fantastic break at this beautiful property. Donna couldn't have been a more welcoming and helpful host. The bungalow is modern, bright, very well equipped, with a great garden and super facilities. A real "home from home". It is situated in a perfect location, close to beaches, bars and restaurants. We'll definitely return and couldn't recommend highly enough!
Absolutely amazing accommodation in Sandbanks. We have rented property here many times and this is beyond a doubt the best place we've stayed. Location is perfect, the interiors delightful, everything was spotless, the kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms are so thoughtfully appointed and stocked, the huge garden is great for kids. Donna was incredibly kind and helpful and has really gone above and beyond to create a beautiful home. I felt like I was staying at a friend's house. We would love to return. Many thanks Donna!
My husband & I enjoyed a week at Villa Sofia with our Mums.
It was the perfect location about 5 mins walk from an amazing, beautiful beach & about a 10 minute drive from lovely Poole.
The house was perfect & was lacking absolutely nothing, it was lovely & clean & was warm when we needed the central heating after the sun went down.
We sat outside in the garden on the decking most afternoons in the sun BLISS!
We loved exploring the beautiful surrounding area & trying out all the local ice creams.
We would love to come & stay at Villa Sofia again. Thank you so much
We stayed as a family of five in August for just under week and our overall stay was fabulous. Donna was a joy to deal with from start to finish. The house is clean and incredibly well equipped, especially the kitchen. Donna even provides robes, slippers, mini toiletries and beach bags (complete with a set of towels), which gives the property a touch of luxury. The location is ideal for Sandbanks beach (luckily the weather was kind), the Studland chain ferry and many local eateries. The kids loved the swing set and since it kept them busy, so did we! The automatic gate at the front is a welcome addition. We're very keen to return!
Donna was amazing and the house was just perfect, even having a decorated Christmas tree prepped for our arrival.
Everything in the house is classy yet comfortable, ideal for us and likely perfect for a family with children too.
Sizable kitchen and good sized bedrooms and garden ensured that we were comfortable and the dining,/living room had a wonderful fireplace and smart TV - so Christmas was about as perfect as it could be.
In the summer this place will be impossible to book no doubt as it happens to also be set in one of the UKs most fashionable areas, Sandbanks.
But for us, drawing an awful year to an end, we couldn’t have done it in a better place.
Thanks Donna!
The house is in excellent condition, with everything you could possibly need has been provided. The communication from the host was very helpful. The house is in a great location.
Beautifully presented and well equipped property that caters for all needs. Superb location, very close to fantastic beach and harbour with great eateries close by. The host was extremely helpful with good communications. Would definitely rent this property again.
We booked this property for a long weekend for a family trip. It exceeded our expectations with a lot of thought given to guests. I was especially pleased with the large wardrobe filled with games for children, the book case (for all ages), cosy robes and the great hair dryer and straighteners ! Host was always available when we had a little question too! The garden was great for extra fun for kids (play area) with decking by the kitchen for us to relax whilst keeping an eye on them.
If your after a bit of luxury living in a cosy home, just by the beach then Villa Sofia is for you. I’d definitely stay again, Thanks Donna.
A wonderful break in a superb bungalow in Sandbanks. It is an easy walk to the glorious sandy beaches or up to the chain ferry. We were blessed with glorious weather too.
We could not fault the cleanliness and high standard throughout, from the tastefully decorated rooms, to the kind and friendly touches, to the swinger in the garden and to the extremely well stocked kitchen.
It has a lovely calm, relaxed feel about it and it made our stay special. From a teenager to a 79 year old grandad, it catered to us all!
Thank you to Donna and family for a wonderful break and for all the hard work that has gone in to creating such a glorious place to stay.
Can not recommend staying here enough.
We had a fantastic family stay for a long weekend. The property is really lovely and so well appointed, Donna has thought of it all. We were very comfortable and had a nice, relaxed visit. The property is well located on Sandbanks with access to the beach, the ferry and shops only a short walk away.
Lovely house in a great location for exploring Sandbanks and the surrounding area. Everything you could wish for in the house with really helpful communications from the Hosts. Would love to stay again.
Location is perfect for the beaches and amenities. The property was fantastic - even better than the listing - kitchen was so well equipped , every room was bright and spotlessly clean. Donna made us feel very welcome and was super efficient in her communication with us. Thank you.
As part of our staycation this year we decided to spend a few days on Sandbanks and we’re lucky enough to find the amazing gem that is Villa Sofia. Really cannot speak highly enough of the property & owners. The property is beautifully styled but is comfortable and has literally everything you need for a no worries vacation by the sea. Donna the owner could not have been more helpful & communication is excellent and nothing too much trouble. Book - you won’t regret it and we can’t wait to return!!
A great place to make memories of an excellent holiday
We take away with us happy memories of a lovely holiday at Villa Sofia- a great place to relax and unwind. The new owners have gone out of their way toprovid everything you could possibly need for a stress free break. The grand children thought that the outdoor play area was wonderful, and loved the variety of books, toys and games that was provided for them. The host has put a lot of thought into the furnishings and tasteful design of the rooms and into what makes a good holiday base for their guests,
The location is perfect, within walking distance of lovely sandy beaches which stretch for niles as well as plenty of other places to visit. There was good communication with the host who went out of her way to make sure all was well with us,
Villa Sofia is a place we would recommend for families of all ages and we hope to return to in the future.
The owners were brilliant - communicated well with us and kept us informed. The house is beautiful so clean and well equipped- we loved it and would definitely stay again.
Congratulations to Donna and team for all their hard work in creating a real home from home. So comfortable.
The house is beautiful and has every amenity and facility that you could wish for. From luxury coffee to having Jamie Oliver in the kitchen whenever we wanted !!( His book that is !! )
The kids were supplied with every game imaginable and practically every tv app. available.
We got onto the fabulous beach a few times which is only a short walk away.
If only our UK weather was more stable.
Many thanks Donna
Look forward to returning
Steve.
We absolutely loved our staycation at Villa Sofia! The property is immaculate and Donna and her family have ensured there are so many personal touches throughout the property and throughout our stay to make sure we have the best holiday. We will definitely return to stay here and also at their impending new villas, as I’m sure they will put the same amount of attention, detail and love into their future properties.
