In my opinion, Sophia Loren is a very / an extremely beautiful woman.

What should be the sentence please explain ?
 
It depends on how you rate her beauty.

Out of a possible 10, "very" would be 7 or 8 and "extremely" would be 9 or 10.
 
Along with extraordinarily. :)
I would not call 9 an extreme, for obvious reasons. Extraordinary, outstanding, maybe. But 9/10 is not extreme. 99.9/100 could possibly lay claim to extremity.
