Reviews of Nireides villas 'TOP DESTINATION'

I had the most incredible experience staying at this stunning villa near Elafonisi in Crete. The villa itself is spacious and beautifully maintained, offering plenty of room to relax and unwind. One of the highlights was the gorgeous pool, where I could enjoy breathtaking sunsets every evening—truly a magical experience! The location is perfect, just steps away from the shop and the best restaurants in the area, which made everything incredibly convenient. The host was absolutely fantastic. She went above and beyond to help me in every situation, making me feel welcomed and well taken care of throughout my stay. If you’re looking for the ideal place to stay near Elafonisi, I can’t recommend this villa enough. A perfect combination of comfort, beauty, and outstanding hospitality!

There are many positives about Nireides Villas (pool, location, cleanliness etc) but one of the top ones has to be Maja who administers the small complex of 4 buildings. She has a beautiful personality and is so helpful, doing everything she can to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Nothing is ever too much for her and she responds to any queries immediately. (She even brought me a needle and thread to do some hasty sewing repairs!) Dealing with such a warm and friendly person only enhances being in such a beautiful location which is why my 9/10 is bumped up to a 10/10. The rooms are super clean (Spasiba Mama! 😊 ) and the beds are comfortable. The windows having shutters making the bedrooms dark makes for a very good night's sleep.

The one area that needs improvement is the WiFi which is very slow at a maximum 7 Mb/s. Going upstairs it would sometimes die altogether. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy fix as there are 5G masts in the area. Using mobile data we were getting 300 Mb/s plus. A full oven would make the kitchen perfect though the mini oven supplied gets the job done.

Excellent location to explore the west coast of Crete. Great sunsets!

The location is excellent. 5 mins to Elafonisi beach and close to other nice beaches. Own parking just outside the villa complex. Spacious and clean apartment. Quiet and relaxing environment.

Beautiful 2-floors-villa with swimming pool and sea view, located very close to the wonderful beach of Elafonisi (around 4,5km faraway). 2 wide bedrooms with balcony, one of which had 2 single beds; 2 bathrooms, a well equipped kitchen and a wide dining room with TV. Very clean. Suitable for a family or a couple.

Maybe the double bed could be bigger. The hairdryer was missing.

The location is perfect to explore the Elefonisi area. Elafonisi beach is ok, but is a tourist trap. We went to some other beaches nearby that were awesome. A few good restaurants close by, and a mini market with some essentials. The pool was great, actually, the pool and location are the only good things about this property.

We arrived a little late (20h) due to our flight. The keys were in the front door. We asked for a cot bed - wasn't there. Had to message the host for the cot bed, while our son slept in the pram. Also, the host set up the cot bed in the kitchen/living room, which we had to carry upstairs (where both bedrooms are). The refrigerator wasn't working properly (probably due to the fact it was off for some time) The house has no essential amenities, only has Linen and toilet rolls. 1 or 2 pots. a few dishes. spoons and forks, and only 2 knifes (a small pairing knife and a large bread knife) how are we suppose to eat with a bread knife? No cleaning supplies (if you drop something on the floor, grab the toilet paper and dishsoap to clean it) No kitchen towels or kitchen rolls. We're lucky enough to get toilet paper. No local information about anything. We had to ask the waiter in the restaurant for some cool spots. Apparently some of the hosts family live in one of the properties (we think, not sure). But one of the other guests had to come outside to the pool area and tell the family to keep it down at 22h30 on a Thursday, because some of the hosts kids were jumping on the pool and making a lot of noise. We weren't upset by it, because our toddler was already asleep and is a heavy sleeper, but beware. Overall, We had the feeling that the host does not care about guests, just easy money for 4 walls and a pool.

This was our fourth stay at Nireides Villas, we really love staying here. The villas are lovely, with a large living area downstairs and 2 double bedrooms upstairs. There are also 2 bathrooms, and the place is spotlessly clean. The communal pool is a highlight, being large and deep enough to properly swim in and there are 3 tavernas and 2 supermarkets within walking distance, Elafonisi beach is 5 minutes drive.

Can’t think of anything.

Exceptional location. Lovely spacious villas. Immaculate cleaniness.

We loved to have a place to stay close to Elafonisi which gave us the chance to visit the beach (only 8 min by car) early in the morning or later in the afternoon when there are fewer people. The kids especially loved the pool which even has a smaller pool for non-swimmers. There is a mini market right next to the house, there are no bigger supermarkets in the area so the choices are a bit limited which wasn't a problem for us. There are two tavernas around the corner and a pizza place. The house itself is well equipped and we really enjoyed our stay there.

Panorama at the sunset, furinshed kitchen, very close to elafonisi(4km), swimming pool.

Beautiful accommodation. Very spacious and well equipped. We loved the flexibility afforded by the outside spaces and could find a sunny spot at all times of the day. The pool looked incredibly inviting but was too cool mid-oct. The sunsets were spectacular with great views from the upstairs balcony.

Nothing to dislike.

Excellent place. impeccable cleanliness, super comfortable and spacious facilities

any

Plenty of space compared to a normal hotel room

Location and swimming pool, just amazing!

The pool, the sunset, nice neighbours, friendly mini-market, generally nice place and nice staff.

Not great cooking utensils, no toilet paper, have to be a contortionist to reach the toilet paper. Ahh, nothing serious.

This was our third stay at Nireides. The villas are spacious with a well equipped kitchen, balconies and 2 bathrooms. Having a pool to jump into first thing in the morning is also great. Elafonisis beach is a 5 minute car journey away and there a few other smaller, less crowded beaches in the vicinity. There is a choice of 3 tavernas within a 5 minute walk. We really like it here and expect to return next year.

A washing machine would be nice for an extended stay, can‘t think of anything else.
