We stayed here for 4 days this summer. The outdoor spaces are great, in particular the pool area. The pool is nice, but so chlorinated it will burn out your eyes. The photos show how nice the pool is, and the views which are amazing.

The indoor spaces (i.e. the rooms) are in a poor state of repair. They smell mildewy as they get no ventilation, no sunlight and haven't been refurbished since the Reagan administration. There isn't a proper shower (just a hand held thing). I am six foot three and smacked my head on the bathroom door frame 3 times before i got used to the low height. My wife hated the room so much she wouldn't go inside except to sleep and use the "shower"

Nikos was pretty rude to us. We were also a bit surprised when the taxi Nikos had ordered for us to the port when we left also picked up another guy as well from a different hotel - but this didn't decrease the fare we had to pay. Nikos thus seems to have a nice scam going with the taxi driver, so I would advise not using the hotel to book your taxi when you leave.

we saw some really nice hotels in Ia and I think I will stay elsewhere if we go back

we just returned from nikos villas, we were 6 adults and 9 children. when we first arrived i thought that nikos sister-in-law was going to have a heart attack, she was rude yelling at our kids and just not very friendly. the hotels view and location is stunning and breath- taking. Its a very quiet place, very clean and the breakfast was good. the pool is beautiful and the sunsets are a perfect location to watch. niko is very friendly, he invited us all for a bottle of wine to watch the sunset and gave us all little parting gifts when we left. he's a great guy especially because he can put up with he's sister-in -law. all in all i would reccomend this hotel, rooms are large we had a 2 bedroom with kitchen.

I am very shocked to see some sketchy comments about Nikos Villas. We stayed here for our honeymoon and had a wonderful stay. I found the room to be wonderful. Very traditional and incredibly clean. I also liked the fact that our room had a very small kitchen area so we could have breakfast and snacks on the patio every morning. The views are absolutely stunning and Nikos is the nicest guy you can meet. The pool was nice as well. Location is great, very quiet and not as busy as the other cities on the Island. I highly recommend Nikos Villas.

My boyfriend and I stayed for 5 nights in Nikos Villas. We had done so much research on Santorini accommodation and told ourselves we would splurge on our accommodation on Santorini (we went to mykonos and Paros first). Look, this place certainly isn't bad...but I must say we were disappointed. The views are amazing...and the location of Nikos Villas is excellent. Oia certainly is the place to stay, forget Fira! On the positive side: The terraces that each villa has are really large and is a great place to have a drink as the sun sets...beautiful! The whole villa is really quite large and so are the bathrooms. The pool is nice..one of the larger ones we saw in Oia.

On the negative side: We found the villa very musty / smokey / damp smelling. The rooms are described as 'traditional'...and this certainly is true...they look like they haven't been renovated since the 1960's. The beds are small and not very luxurious (built on a cement block)and hence not really conducive to a romantic holiday!! The bathrooms also aren't very modern looking, although they are really clean. The furniture is very old looking and the bedroom section is very dark and damp...the smell was the first thing I noticed and was quite offputting. Once we got over our initial disapointment that 200 euros per night didn't get us anyhting vaguely luxurious or even modern and the fact that we were really paying top money for the view only...we had a great time...but we just didn't spend much time in the room. Also, you had to close all of your windows at night beucase the cats would come inside while we were asleep!! Nikos himself could be charming but he was also very grumpy and gruff...especially when we cheked out he was quite rude and this left me with a negative impression. I kept gazing over at Canaves and Perivolas Houses..which for a little more money, you would prob get 'honeymoon quality' rooms! You had to go searching for someone to get you a drink by the pool too. I would be very disppointed if I was on my honeymoon here...as others obviously were. This place is ok,..but as with all of Santorini....they think they can get away with poor service and not updating things because people will still flock there because of their famous VIEW!
