Nicki Villa Reviews
" After visiting Nikki’s Studios... "
Submitted By: Miss S Marfell
After visiting Nikki’s Studios (formerly Villa Nicki) for the 2nd time this year, I feel it’s time I left a review on the place. It’s perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing.
Mike, Nicki’s son, is the main guy you’ll see there. He speaks such great English that I often forget he’s Greek. It’s his warm personality that really makes the friendly atmosphere.
Once you arrive, everyone is welcomed to the area with a free drink at the bar and a talk from Mike about the studios and the area. Good places to go, things to look out for etc. Which really settles you in nicely. Then it’s pretty much up to you what you do with the rest of your time.
It’s really quiet there, no one will wake you up before you want to be up, and Mike keeps the bar open as late as people want to drink.
The barbeque on a Tuesday is a great night, Nicki cooks some fabulous dishes and Mike keeps everyone entertained with music, dancing, and a pub-type quiz.
Mike’s always willing to help with anything and is a brilliant host! He makes great cocktails and can play whatever music you fancy around the bar area.
It’s not a big place… I think there are about 12 rooms, so the pool and bar are never over crowded. You can always get the pool to yourself for a while each day if you wanted, and enjoy a swim whilst looking up at the gorgeous views of the olive groves up the hills.
The rooms are clean and comfortable, with the rooms downstairs staying nice and cool throughout the day and night.
It is only a 5-10 min walk into Petra village, where there are plenty of tavernas to choose from (I definitely recommend the Women’s Co-operative!), and a lovely beach to relax on.
It’s easy to hop on a bus to nearby Anaxos or Molyvos, or taxis are a flat rate 5Euros.
Basically, Nicki’s Studios is the most friendly, relaxing place I’ve ever been to, I’m sure me and my partner will return there for many more years, safe in the knowledge we’re always welcome at Nicki’s.

This was the most relaxing, friendly holiday that we have ever had, and much of it was due to Mike and his mum - salt of the earth. All married men who visit contemplate bigamy, simply on account of Niki's wonderful cooking.
Book early to avoid disappointment - it seems to fill up quickly with returning visitors, and we hope to be among them soon.
