Villa Nireaus

Set amongst the pine woodland that tops the descent into the fishing village of Sami, this outstanding location offers superb views over Sami Bay with Ithaki in the far distance and the lush hillsides embracing it on three sides.
Electric gates ensure that stray members of the local goat herds don’t stray into the grounds, which are well tended, planted with flowering shrubs and citrus trees and with a neatly mown lawn.
The light and spacious villa is furnished in an easy contemporary style throughout.

Location
It’s less than a 5 min drive down the hill into Sami where tavernas and cafes line the waterfront, prime position, in the morning, to sip a freddo cappuccino and watch the sailing boats come and go and to check the ferries are running on schedule.
Although Sami does have a beach of its own beyond the harbour, it really is well worthwhile making the trip round to the next bay to Antisamos beach. Here pine cloaked mountains drop steeply down to the sea with their colours reflected in the crystal clear waters and edged by a crescent of white pebble beach. There are some sunbeds and a taverna backing the beach for lunch or a refreshing drink. Along the coast immediately north of Sami are several small coves and a little further on, the beach of Agia Paraskevi has water sport facilities.

Stayed as a family of 4. Villa was perfect, stunning scenery. Very comfortable. Good location for exploring the island. Would love to visit again.

Villa design both internally & externally, garden furniture, outside shaded areas, central location allowing trips all over the island, cleanliness. Mattresses were a bit hard. Some blankets rather than just a sheet would be welcome for those who find the ac too cold at night!

Villa was clean with the normal freelance villas high standards. Great furniture and facilities. Very close to Sami for shops etc. We often drove into Agia Efima for the evening which was about 15 minute drive. We were quite disappointed to discover that other villas were in the process of being constructed very close to this villa. One in particular to the left of the villa which was a large ugly concrete building really impacts on the wonderful view over Sami. The pictures online don't show this at all so guests will only find out when they arrive. While we enjoy freelance villas we are put off coming to this villa again as it looks like it's becoming part of a complex with three other villas in construction in close proximity. Hot water was not always accessible.

The views from the property are stunning as it’s set back in the mountains overlooking Sami bay and Ithaca. The long balcony off each bedroom was a great place to sit in the evenings and the poolside area really well thought out with lots of shaded spots. The air con was a welcome touch on some hot days and worked really well. There was also lots of storage and a large kitchen. The customer service when we had some nosie issues on tree cutting wasn’t dealt with initially very well but has since been rectified. The property, where very comfortable was not quite as luxurious as the price tag suggests. The hammock was worn when we arrived and there was some little signs of wear and tear around the property such as marks on the fridge door and walls. Also the mattress on the beds were very thin and hard. I would say that the empty shell buildings spoil an otherwise stunning view if built however it will ruin the privacy of the villa.

Villa Nireaus was just fantastic! It had absolutely everything we needed, we especially liked the Nespresso machine. The location was amazing, with fabulous views down to the bay at Sami it was sufficiently out of town to be secluded and very peaceful (except for the chickens), but close enough to Sami for a quick drive in to town for anything we needed. The location was also very central, so we could visit the whole island, with no one journey being too long. Basically, the villa was amazing and we had the most wonderful time, we didn't want to leave. There were only two minor issues which were sorted very quickly when we reported them, which was brilliant. The only silly thing for me, which you probably can't do anything about, is the street light which shines directly in to the bedroom.

Everything was in good order and things worked as should, we felt home. Don’t go to smaller things(you asked for extra payment due to broken 2 glasses of wine).

A lovely home, well appointed, fantastic views, peaceful location. Delightful gardens with plentiful seating, bbq and decent size pool. The pool was rather cold as it was end of April. Owners and Freelance reps helpful and prompt in their responses. A lovely little welcome pack on arrival. Not much to be fair. More UK TV channels. Only Sky news available. A small carton of milk for UK guests in welcome pack would be great, especially with late arrival flights. We like our tea and coffee in the morning.

Can’t add any more as the title says it all. We struggled with wifi (think the router is too far away), the TV wouldn’t work because of no wifi. Very minor issues: Coat hooks, leave games and DVDs which I’m sure previous holiday makers have left behind on previous stays, extra blankets (October! - although we would have asked if desperate). Great Villa though and have no complaints at all. Thank you.

10/10

Wonderful two week vacation! The location was perfect for us - quiet, private and amazing views, for when we wanted to just 'hang out' - the sea and mountains all around, but also close enough to Sami for our daily bread run, groceries and great traditional taverns. The location also gave us easy access to roads leading to all the villages and beaches we wanted to visit. Highly recommend!

This is a great villa. If you want to relax & get away, this is the place. You will have everything you need for a perfect holiday. The villa is well equipped, a fab pool and lots of room outside to use. It's a short drive from the town of Sami that has plenty of bars and restaurants, as well as a few supermarkets.
