" We have had a wonderful experiance "

Having just returned from Nissaki Sea View Apartments and having such a wonderfully relaxing holiday thought we must add this review to your website as we noted a poor review regarding room 201 had been logged.
We stayed in this apartment and had a great time, we understand from the owners that this apartment is part of the original house and we felt that it was nice to see some of the original fittings had been left for us to enjoy, for a 2+ star rating this was a good bit better that in some we have stayed.
The staff could not do enough for us and were informative and helpful. We hope very much to return here before too long. The views from our balcony were stunning, all the local tavernas are brilliant and the local people so friendly.
P.S. I think you will find in most Greek apartments that the 1st loo roll is supplied and then it,s up to you!!

Advice: Peace, views, and lovely friendly locals

Activities: Misos and Vitamins Tavernas

Good for: Beach

" As a family of 3, 2 adults & 1... "

As a family of 3, 2 adults & 1 child. We have just returned from a fantastic holiday at Nissaki Sea View Apartments. The apartments are situated in a beautiful area of Corfu called Nissaki and are located overlooking the sea. Our apartment was exceptionally clean and well equipt if you chose to self cater..but in our opinion the complex and surrounding areas and restaurants were by far too tempting to even think about staying in.

The pool area was very clean and there was ample sun loungers for all throughout the day.

Nissaki itself is a small and very picturesque area of Corfu with a beautiful pebble cove beach, great for snorkellling. The beauty of Nissaki is everything is just a stones throw away making it the ideal location for a relaxing holiday.

" My husband I spent a wonderful week... "

My husband I spent a wonderful week here in July. It’s the ideal location for a totally relaxing holiday. Our apartment was impeccably clean, and surprisingly big, given the very reasonable price we paid. There were stunning views from our large balcony, which provided the perfect place to relax with a pre dinner drink and read a book or watch the small boats come and go from the nearby harbour.

Nestled within the olive groves and steps away from the sea, The Nissaki Sea View is a welcome change to the pretence of some of the supposedly more exclusive and luxurious resorts we have stayed at in the past and paid double or triple the price for the privilege.

Can’t recommend it enough

" As a family of 4 we stayed at Nissaki... "

As a family of 4 we stayed at Nissaki Sea View Apartments for 2 weeks at the end of July 2008. We arrived late and had booked a 2 bed apartment. We booked well in advance but were not informed that our accommodation was situated in the old building or that it was directly above what is described as a ‘snack bar’ in the brochure. It was only on the morning after arrival that we resigned ourselves to the fact that, this time with Olympic, we had drawn the short straw: the general state of repair was a disgrace. Holes in floor and wall tile grouting played host to grime and no doubt countless bacteria. The facilities did not function properly most notably the toilet which would not successfully flush anything away and any cistern flushing had to be supplemented by at least two washing bowls full of water to make anything flush away. When either the floor was wet because the shower tray overflowed and was too small, or the toilet was flushed, an overpowering smell of stale urine filled the room. The bathroom had a non-slip matt, we saw it for sale on a roll in Corfu Town for about 1 euro, This was disgusting and lumps of brown substance, not ours, was visible and appeared to be coming up from the drain. The window would not shut because the frame was rotting and hence the mosquitoes could come and go as they pleased. The cooker, sink and fridge surrounds required an industrial deep clean and the furniture had seen better days. I have photos of all these defects and a rather unpleasant video of the toilet malfunctioning.
The brochures description of a ‘snack bar’ is very misleading as it is actually a full bar with outside seating below our apt which is open until 2am and sometimes later. One evening / early morning the raucous behaviour of some drunken non-residents was so loud that we had to mention to the barman that we couldn’t sleep having been woken up at about 2am.
We tried to get on with our holiday and were out of the apartment exploring the island and having fun with the children from morning til evening and even made light of the disgusting ablution arrangements to buoy ourselves up however further alarming problems developed when we brought the state of the room to the attention of Christiana who I understand has some managerial control over the apartments. We were led to believe the accommodation was full but Monday was a change-over day so we brought the above list of complaints to her attention on Sunday, it was difficult to synchronise a liaison with Neil, the Olympic rep, and we wished to resolve the matter locally without any undue fuss or interruption to our holiday. On Sunday we were promised we could move on Monday by 3pm albeit to a 1 bed apartment. This was still above the bar but was newer accommodation and the situation with our own room was now so dire that my children were scared to go in the bathroom and my wife was quite upset at the conditions. Although she had promised a new room, Christiana appeared concerned that the cleaners had not done an adequate job of cleaning our apartment and seemed keen on us making criticism of their efforts. This was not the case; the cleaners were making the best of a bad job and the root cause of the problems pertaining to apartment 201 were that it required nothing less than a total refit by someone competent to plumb a shower, sink and toilet and a builder who could fill holes properly and fit new windows. Later on Sunday we became aware that the cleaners had revisited our apt and given the toilet a once over but once again the smells returned; it appeared the drains were either blocked or inadequate and the base of the toilet pan was corroded and the grouting cracked and broken and was constantly wet, there was also a badly repaired crack on the edge of the pan. On Monday we planned our day around switching rooms before 3pm however later that morning Christiana informed us that it was not now possible for us to move rooms as new guests were arriving. This was the last straw and my wife insisted on Cristiana experiencing the condition of our apt first hand, there were some tears and pleadings and we were left with no alternative but to insist on either a different room, alternative Olympic accommodation or I would research alternative accommodation myself. Either way, we refused to stay in the apt anymore. After a series of phone calls to the rep and researching other local accommodation we were eventually told we could have room 203 at 5pm. During the course of the day it became apparent that neither Christiana nor Fatos, the owner, take criticism well and they became remarkably defensive and, much to their dis-service, ignorant and dismissive. The rep initially stated he would attend to inspect apt 201 which prompted a sudden cover-up operation of cleaning and a strong smell of air freshener throughout not only the toilet but the whole apt and the corridor outside aswell. The rep didn’t attend or return phone calls which prompted us to make further representations to establish exactly if and when we would switch rooms. At about 2pm we were informed we could move at 5pm (not sure why 2 hours had been added to the initial 3pm deadline but it appeared cleaning of 203 had been dropped to the bottom of the schedule). Later in the afternoon I asked Christiana when the rep would arrive and she stated he would not be attending and summonsed Fatos to deal with me. Fatos insisted the matter had been dealt with and we would move rooms at 5pm however I very politely had to ask him 4 times to call the rep as I had various representations to make. Fatos was extremely evasive and offered a number of excuses in order to avoid calling the rep; his phones off, he’s at the airport, he may not have a signal, he’s already dealt with this matter and so on. Eventually he succumbed and I made an arrangement to speak with the rep later on. At 5pm we were dealt with discourteously by Christiana and although Fatos attempted to convey a manner of quiet professionalism he was once again in denial and made remarks such as : the toilet was working before you arrived etc. we didn’t witness any workmen visiting 201 or see anyone in residence for the rest of our stay. Thereafter, we were away from the apts pretty much all day. We eventually caught up with the rep and relayed the details of our poor treatment, an excellent example of which was that on departure day we vacated our apt at 9am as we had rented a boat for the day and returned about 6pm and were camped out at the pool and in the reception / bar area. We were still awaiting exact details of our departure time having been informed by the rep earlier in the week that our pick-up at the top of the road would be about 11.45pm. We spent our last evening at Mitsos and returned at about 11pm only to find the rep approach us in somewhat of a hurry a few minutes later. He was holding an Olympic form which had details of our pick-up time which was now 11.20pm and said “This was left in your pigeon hole at reception. Did no-one give it to you” I saw Christiana was manning the reception desk and was aware of our presence. We quickly gathered our belongings and wheeled our cases up the hill to the bus stop on the main road where our transport was already waiting, a welcome relief !
Although the location is generally quiet and the pool area is great, the newer accommodation is satisfactory and the public areas are well maintained, no doubt to attract passing trade, our holiday was blighted by not only the unpleasantries experienced in apt 201 but also by the illjudged response of Christiana and Fatos. The barman was great: he had an excellent approach with the children and was helpful and polite as was the lady with dark hair who works around the bar. The cleaners were reasonably hardworking and very polite although we had to ask for towels and toilet paper after nearly each visit by them.
We have stayed in the Greek islands on a few occasions and are accustomed to the issues of basic accommodation which we accept at face value as long as the facilities are clean and function properly. What we experienced this time was a misrepresentation of the accommodation details by Olympic compounded by the behaviour of the management as outlined above.
Mitsos staff were great and attentive and The Grill room was value for money and reasonable food. Vitamins up the road was well worth the walk.

" Yet again another truley lovely... "

Yet again another truley lovely holiday. The Nissaki Sea View had it's season cut by a month either side by Olympic Holidays. Having only May available I was gutted. But having e mailed the owners they said i could book independantly and that they would only be too pleased to have me.

Again Fotis and Cristiana looked after us immpecably - for the location and the money this is the best value relaxing holiday by far.

What a peaceful and lovely holiday we have just had in Nissaki sea view. The apartments are spacious, very clean and tidy.

The staff are excellent, very friendly and very helpful with any problems you have, especially Christianna.

My family and I have been to many islands in Greece and this has been the best accommodation we have stayed in. Looking forward to staying there next year.

" My wife and I love the NE coast of... "

My wife and I love the NE coast of Corfu however had never stayed in the area before. After reading the positive reviews of the Sea View Apartments in Nissaki Village, we booked and have just returned from a wonderful week of rest and relaxation. I agree with the previous comments regarding the friendliness of the owners and staff - they were all delightful and only too pleased to help with any queries.

If you're looking for luxury accommodation the Sea View is not for you however if you're happy with simple, clean, spacious rooms with air con and a fridge that works (something of a rarity in our experience) then you should certainly consider staying here. The elevated position ensures the views are to die for - remember your binoculars. The small picturesque harbour is a 5 min walk away with a choice of three restaurants. (none terrible) We also arranged water taxis at night to Agni for the Nikolas and Agni tavernas and there are other restaurants up on the main road. We hired a motor boat for the day from Fontas at the harbour which is a great day out visiting all the lovely bays up the coast. There are two supermarkets close at hand and we found Katerinas situated on the main road with steps up from behind the apartments by far the friendliest. Enjoy!

" The Nissaki Sea view apartments is... "

The Nissaki Sea view apartments is nice peaceful idyllic place to stay for those who want to relax totally for a one or two week stay. We've just returned after a weeks brake there. We found our apartment to be very good value for money and I can’t think of one fault what so ever with the apartment, o yes "sea view as well". Nissaki is a low-key resort with a few taverns and two shops, we personally found one week just nice.

Luckily we hired a car for two days and ventured around the island and visited wonderful places such as Casiopi "not to be missed". We also went on a boat trip on a boat called "captain homer" I found it very enjoyable, so did my partner and our 5 year old.

Down sides to Nissaki- the buses don't run that often especially on a Sunday, if you want to go further a field, car hire is a must if you want to explore the island and the neighbouring resorts, taxis cost an arm and a leg.

There are about seven taverns in Nissaki four by the wonderful seafront and beach and three along the road. My favourite was a place called Vitaminse, about half a mile up the hill, and a little place just across the road from car hire shop, cheap and very good food. Mitsos at the sea front was ok, shame the food did not match it's location, very small portions, one meal I ordered was the special of the day, lamb, it came on a very small plate with six peaces of chips! Beware.

The only real moan we had was on our last day, I’d been asking the lady at the sea view through out our stay if we could pay to keep our or any room for 12hrs, as we had to vacate our apartment at mid-day and we where not being taken to the airport until 14hrs later. As there was no answer I then went to see the Olympic Rep, on asking here of our request she told me that it would be ok for our 5yrs old to sleep on one of the couches at the bar, I then told her, this was no good to us and asked her along with the owner who was standing next to her, if they knew of anywhere that we could book in to for 12hrs, but of course pay for 24hrs as you'd expect, they categorically said no they knew of no where.

I then went to look for somewhere my self, low and behold the first place I was directed to, only a 100m away from the sea view apartments was the Nissaki holiday centre, ran by a very nice man called Amilio.

He rented use a lovely apartment with all the mod con’s and with it’s own balcony as well, for 30euros, "life saver". We then enjoyed our last day of our holiday, with somewhere to stay until we where taken to the airport at 02:30.

All in all it was a great holiday in an idyllic location with only the last day slightly spoilt by the unwillingness of the Rep and the owner to help us in which was a totally justified request.

" We are off to Nissaki sea view for... "

We are off to Nissaki sea view for the 6th year on the run on 28th July. I can confidently say that it will be another wonderful two weeks of pure heaven. Nissaki sea view is everything you could wish for, for a relaxing (or not - you decide) family holiday.

We have made many friends over the last few years and each year we return our family of friends increases. Ada, fotis, irini, napoleon, Anna, Christiana will give you the warmest welcome you have ever received anywhere in the world.

The village locals will also remember and welcome you time after time. Our party aged between 5 and 62. Can’t imagine going anywhere else - well not for a long time. We love Nissaki sea view, Corfu - you will to!

" The Nissaki Sea View is the nicest... "

The Nissaki Sea View is the nicest place I have ever stayed. The owners Fotis and Ada (with help from Irini and Napoleon) ensure that anyone staying here is made welcome and all needs are catered for.
<br><br>
The apartments are clean and spacious, the snack bar food is lovely (home made Pizzas, Greek salads etc) also serving drinks and wonderful variety of cocktails, the pool is great and never overcrowded but best of all are the amazing views across the bay towards Corfu town (complete with dolphins in the morning).

My parties ages ranged from 10 thru to 60 and all had a fantastic time (even the stroppy teenagers).

Would recommend this accommodation to anyone. In fact having stayed here I do not want to go anywhere else. <br>

" Had a lovely holiday here. My 3... "

Had a lovely holiday here. My 3 children had a lovely time by the pool and at the lovely small pebble beach. The brochures are absolutely correct in their descriptions of this complex. Small, friendly, family oriented resort with some lovely tavernas overlooking the sea. Watersports nearby, also hiring of small boats if you wish to visit the beautiful bays all along the coast only accessible by boat.

Fantastic location of the apartments - wonderful views, nothing overlooking the building.

The apartments are run by a married couple. Ada is a very cheery helpful lady - nothing is any problem. Ideal for a peaceful relaxing holiday.
