BEAUTIFUL GETAWAY
Everything about Villa Sophia is first class. Tim is a great host and he really did think of everything to make his guests comfortable. The linens, beautiful lighting, fantastic spa shower and of course the pool and terrace were simply luxurious.

DOESN'T GET ANY
BETTER THAN THIS
IN LOS ANGELES
It doesn't get better than this in Los Angeles. I am well travelled at some of the world's nicest 5 star resorts, and this place is unbelievable.
