Nisaki Villa

The property is clean, modern and very spacious with two bathrooms and two good size bedrooms. The kitchen and living area is large, specious and well equipped. The pool is lovely as is the garden. Tania could not be more helpful, she is a really lovely lady.

That it was on the main road.

The greeting was excellent (including the delicious cake), the property was beautiful with stunning views and great facilities and the location is perfect for restaurants and an easy walk down to the nearest shops etc (Agios Nicholas).

Nothing. The only slight issue is the bedrooms are warm. There are fans but it does stay hot. I do understand it is hot and that’s why we like to go there. AC in the bedrooms and this place would be a 10.

The apartment is spacious and very clean and has a nice terrace and swimming pool. The interior of the apartment is relatively well maintained, but somewhat outdated. At this moment (summer 2024) the apartment still has a free sea view, but in coming years that view may be partially blocked, because opposite to the apartment a house is being built. Apparently, every 5 days someone comes to clean the apartment, but the date/time may not be convenient to you. In that case, you are offered to sit on the terrace while the apartment is being cleaned.

First thing to mention: this is not an entire or freestanding house or villa, as the wording and photo’s on Booking.com could suggest (Booking.com, German: ganzes Ferienhaus, English: entire home, Spanish: casa entera, Italian: intera casa, Dutch: volledig huis, Russian: Дом целиком, etc.). Instead, it is the upper floor of a two-storey house. The hosts live on the lower floor. The facilities of the apartment are all private, but a staircase leads to a garage belonging to the lower floor. This garage is not accessible for guests and the door to the garage is locked. When you have a (rented) car, be aware that parking a mid-sized car or larger next to the apartment may be somewhat of a challenge, depending on your backwards driving skills, 180-degree turning skills or insurance policy. One of the most noticeable things in the apartment, when we were there, was the overwhelming smell of mothballs. This smell seemed to come from the wardrobes in the bedrooms. Some of the wardrobe doors are locked and not accessible for guests, and apparently store something that needs to be protected against certain insects. With these levels of smell these insects will certainly not bother you. After the first day, one of our group started feeling unwell of the smell. At night, we kept the bedroom windows wide open to dilute the smell. But, if you like the good old smell of mothballs, this is certainly the place to be! For some guests the interior may feel like they are entering a 90’s scene. The drains in both bathrooms are too small. The stove is partially electric, partially gas (2+2 burners), but the gas did not work. The outdoor hanging egg-chair is kept together with duct tape. All in all, the apartment was acceptable, but considering the above features, it offered insufficient value for money (also compared to other, similarly priced but freestanding houses we had in Greece).

Fantastic location. A Beautiful traditional Mediterranean villa with the finest modern appliances. Very comfortable and peaceful. Very close to fine restaurants and local supermarkets. The host Ms Tanya was very accommodating and super friendly. Will definitely stay there again.

There was nothing to not like.

The host Tania was absolutely lovely and happy to help us out with any requests. It felt like a home from home

Pool and outside space with comfortable loungers, plenty towels provided and a great BBQ pit

The Villa has an incredible view and patio area. The facilities and equipment are very good quality. Tanya, our host, was very friendly and made us a fantastic breakfast one morning which was very thoughtful.

Air conditioning was only in the lounge and the hall. The bedrooms would benefit from their own air conditioning as the twin bedroom particularly got very warm. The parking arrangement was a bit tricky as it was difficult to turn around. The kitchen appliances were great but the utensils, pans, knives etc could do with a bit more thought. Wi-fi was slow. Quite expensive for two bedrooms.
