Myself and 5 friends stayed at Nicks villa in August 2020. We were welcomed by Nick who showed us around and was very happy to answer any questions we had.
The villa was very spacious with a lovely outside area. It is only a 3 minute walk from a supermarket and tavernas in Atsipopoulo center.
We rented cars which was a great help as it meant we could easily drive to Rethymno (a 15 euro taxi from the villa) and places further afield. The southern beaches are gorgeous! Whilst we didn’t take any buses, Nick did mention that they are not very reliable so I would definitely recommend a car.
Despite a great stay we did feel that some areas of the house needed a bit of love. For example, some lights in the kitchen didn’t work, and there was a lack of kitchen utensils and glasses. The toilet flusher downstairs is also slightly broken, and would often continually flush. The air conditioning was also broken in one bedroom, although we did alert Nick to this and two days later it was fixed. What was concerning though was that Nick told us that he’d been made aware there was a problem with the electricity in this bedroom two weeks prior to our arrival.
Overall a great stay in a gorgeous location. Just a few things need fixing / improving.
