Nikos' Villa is a great place to stay! We have spent two weeks there this summer and enjoyed each single day! The place is exactly as shown in the airbnb pictures.
The house is offering space for 4 adults and beautifully furnitured and decorated and the kitchen is outstandingly equipped with plenty of dishes and kitchenware. The pool has a very good size and the jacuzzi offers extra fun as does the outside table tennis table. A spacious sitting area with a roof offering enough shade during the day complements the outdoor area and adds to the comfort the villa offers. The view on the mountains and the village is beautiful!
The village Spili is an excellent starting point to explore a good part of the island Crete. There is a beautiful and impressive gorge nearby through which you can both drive and hike following a river until it enters the sea. Plenty of different beaches with different characeristics can be reached both in the South as in the North within a 30 min drive. The port city Rethymnon with its beautiful old town and plenty of stores, coffee shops and its old fortress which can be visited is also only a 30 min drive away. The other two interesting northern port cities Heraklion and Chania can be reached within 90 min by car. Spili itself offers plenty of good taverns, some shops, three small supermarkets and two churches all within walking distance from the villa.
Nikos and his family are definetly super hosts and their hospitality stands out! When we reached the villa they awaited us with a delicious wellcome meal and made sure we were not missing anything. The communication was very easy and fast and they really want their guest to enjoy their stay supplying them with helpful information and suggestions about what to visit, etc.
We will defintely come back again! Thank you, Nikos! We had a great time!
