Villa Nikos is a wonderful place to stay. It’s extremely well equipped, spacious, tastefully furnished, the beds are very comfortable and it was very clean. It feels more like a family home than a rented villa.
The pool is gorgeous - cleaned twice a week and the garden well maintained. Nina invited us to pick the fresh figs from the garden so we enjoyed them every morning with breakfast.
The cupboards were well stocked with food (sauces, cereals, oils, condiments, coffee etc) which guests are invited to use and replace for future guests.
The accommodation comprises three double bedrooms in the villa itself (one en-suite) and a self-contained apartment and a studio at pool level (these have private entrances and are not accessible from the villa itself). From memory most of the rooms also had a single bed so the villa would sleep around 14 people.
The only slight downside is that the track to the villa is quite long and very rough and bumpy so you need to drive slowly on it unless you want to lose your exhaust! Fortunately there is a short walking path (2 minutes) directly from the villa to the road (and tavernas and shops) via a scrub field. Access to this is a bit tricky so it would be unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. I understand both these issues are beyond Nina’s control - and actually added to the Greekness of the whole experience for us!
Taverna Periklis, at the end of the path is wonderful. The food was fantastic and the family there were very welcoming and as the owner put it ‘we left as friends’. There are also another three tavernas within easy walking distance.
I would definitely recommend this villa and would love to return.
