Nisos Villa Olympos Karpathou

Είχαμε την ευκαιρία να βρεθούμε στο ξεχωριστό χωριό Ολύμπος την περίοδο του Πάσχα με την αναβίωση εθίμων που θα θυμόμαστε για πάντα.Στην διαμονή μας κοιμηθήκαμε σε σουφα ,πρωτόγνωρο για μας,το σπίτι ήταν πολύ καθαρό ,λειτουργικό ,άνετο και συνδιαζε την παραδοσιακή διακόσμηση με τις ανέσεις της καθημερινότητας-νιώσαμε την αγάπη και την φροντίδα που έδωσαν οι ιδιοκτήτες σε κάθε γωνιά.Οτι χρειαστήκαμε ήταν εκεί για μας κάνοντας την διαμονή μας μοναδική . Το ηλιοβασίλεμα ήταν συγκλονιστικό έχοντας την ευκαιρία να το απολαύσουμε μέσα και έξω από το σπίτι.! Το συνιστούμε σε όποιον λατρεύει την άνεση,τη θάλασσα ,την ηρεμία και την ιδιοτηκοτητα. Ραντεβού ξανά το καλοκαίρι!

Η διαμονή μας στην Όλυμπο ήταν πραγματικά μοναδική εμπειρία. Από την πρώτη στιγμή, όλα ήταν άψογα — δεν υπήρχε κανένα θέμα με υγρασία ή μυρωδιές, κάτι που μας έκανε να νιώσουμε πολύ άνετα στον χώρο. Η θέα ήταν απλά εκπληκτική· το να απολαμβάνουμε το φαγητό μας βλέποντας τη θάλασσα ήταν κάτι που θα μας μείνει αξέχαστο. Ο χώρος ήταν πεντακάθαρος και πολύ καλά συντηρημένος, δείχνοντας την προσοχή και τη φροντίδα των οικοδεσποτών. Ιδιαίτερη αναφορά αξίζει στην κυρία Μαρία, τη μαμά της Κατερίνας, η οποία ήταν εξαιρετικά φιλόξενη και πάντα πρόθυμη να μας βοηθήσει σε οτιδήποτε χρειαστήκαμε. Η παρουσία της έκανε τη διαμονή μας ακόμα πιο ζεστή και ευχάριστη. Σίγουρα πρόκειται για ένα μέρος που αξίζει να επισκεφθεί κανείς και εμείς ανυπομονούμε να επιστρέψουμε για περισσότερες ημέρες!

Είχα μια ξεχωριστή εμπειρία σε ένα παραδοσιακό σπίτι με πολύ καθαρούς χωρούς απίστευτο ηλιοβασίλεμα και η κα Μαρία μας υποδέχτηκε με παραδοσιακά γλυκίσματα…. Και ήταν πρόθυμη σε ότι χρειάστηκα Το συνιστω ανεπιφύλακτα …Σίγουρα θα επιστρέψουμε για περισσότερες μέρες έχουμε πολλά να δούμε ακόμα!

The location.

This was, without a doubt, the most awful accommodation experience. The room was appallingly filthy, with dangerously high humidity levels and a significant amount of mold throughout the space. The mold stench was overwhelming, making the environment not only unbearable but hazardous to health. On my first night, I suffered an asthma attack directly caused by these uninhabitable conditions. To make matters worse, the hostess was completely indifferent. She outright refused any refund and didn’t even check on my well-being after the incident. My emails were blatantly ignored, showing a total lack of responsibility and respect. The situation was so intolerable that we were forced to vacate the room the very next day. We received nothing—no compensation, no apology, not even a basic acknowledgment of the health risks her property posed. This place is not just a poor choice for accommodation; it’s a threat to anyone's health. Avoid it at all costs.

The appartment is absolutely beautiful with a lovely traditional decor and all the modern comforts. The view is incomparable and makes you feel perfectly relaxed. I didn’t feel that there was a humidity issue thanks to the air dehydrator.

The view

The terrible smell in the house

Before describing Nisos Villa, it is helpful to first describe the village of Olympos. It is a small village that only in recent times had a direct road connecting it to Pigadia. One parks the car at the edge of the village from which one can easily access anywhere in the village with a 10 minute walk. Walking through the village includes cobblestones and steps. I mention all this as I noticed at least one prior review complained about having to carry his/her suitcase through the town. That having all been said, Nisos Villa is the perfect place to stay in Olympos. It is essentially at the end of the town, which makes it quieter and fewer daytime tourists walking by our villa. Katarina, the owner, has taken her grandmother’s house, and converted most of it into two villas. Our villa was charming. Our bed was accessed by a ladder up to a platform overlooking the main floor. The bathroom was a nice size and the shower had a stone wall on one side which added to its ambience. The kitchen had everything we needed. There is a small porch in the entranceway with a table where we could sit and view the sea and the school (with 7 students) below us. We woke up to the sounds of goats bleating. Katarina does not live in Olympos, but stays in touch with you via email or telephone. If you are going to stay in Olympos, we highly recommend Nisos Villa.

nice decoration, great view, supplied with all the necessary equipment, not all functional and not all clean and ready to use

This was our 2nd Greek Easter in a row in Olympos. With my friends we booked 4 different lodgings, all in the village. This was the worst. 1. No directions provided, when I asked how we will find the room the answer was "Nacros is right next to yours, find it online and you will see the map 2. No Wifi - due to technical reasons according to the owner, she was kind enough to provide with some Gigabytes through my network provider. This did not solve the issue since in the room we had no signal 3. No heating. The air-condition did not work. According to the owner she did not know it. My question is if this is the first check in for the season, always according to her, nobody thought to check the a/c ??? 4. No duvet - April is not summer, the light decorative bed cover is definitely not enough 5. Humidity to a whole other level. If this place was closed for the winter why they didn't air it couple days before our arrival 6. Unbearable smell, every single item I had with me on this trip, still smells. I did read the reviews before I booked but really, words can not describe. 7. Extra person charge. When I booked the room I was planning to travel alone. Couple days before our arrival a friend decided to join. I did communicate it to the owner. Since then she was contacting every single day to ask for an additional payment in cash 21 euros per day, we stayed 7 days. I was very positive to pay the additional charge and I did honor my word. Do you want to know what the additional 150 Euros add to our experience ? 2 bedsheets and two pillows. For 7 days accommodation of two people we had NO bottle of water, a 30ml shampoo and 30ml shower gel. Nobody enter the room to bring fresh towels or ask for any additional needs. 8.Cleanliness. During the night I woke up to have a glass of water, the glass was dirty I had to clean every glass, plate etc. 9.We met NOBODY. The owner was traveling for her easter vacation, well so we did.

The room smelled bad and a high humidity was really bad. We left before time to reduce impact on our health and got no response from the host or booking.com in our request of a refund. I do not recommend this place
