'Beautiful Villa'
This is an honest review. We had a great holiday but there were challenges!
Villa Nitsa is on a hillside. It does have lovely views, but the hill is extremely steep.
There is a climb to get down to the road, and a further climb down to the sea. The road is tarmac but the route to the sea is steep steps, rocks and rubble pathway.
It’s hard going every day for a fortnight for all ages. A car would be a massive help. We didn’t book one, so nothing was available locally.
The beach at the bottom is pebbles and rocks so not altogether easy to get into the sea. You need shoes! Once there, there are a couple of cafes and boat hire, which we recommend for a day out. Once on the road there are 3 tavernas all with great views. There is also a grill bar round the corner, and a music venue. All the food was lovely.
We had family 5 mins away in Barbati and 40 mins away in Roda. As a family of 5 we could not get a taxi as taxis only take 4.
The bus timetable took a while to work out. The times state the time they leave the bus station - not as we were told the time due at the bus stop. One bus per hour and hardly at all in the evening meant it was hard to get about. We could not meet up with our family as we couldn’t get about easily. A car is needed if you want to get around. One day we ended up booking a mini bus at €100 to take us to the water park. You can get a bus at 4.30pm to Kassiopi and one back at 9.50pm in the summer. That is worth the trip as it’s beautiful there. The busses are very cheap.
So, if you are happy to stay local the villa is lovely. (Apart from the hard double bed & pillows). If you are keen to travel about then we would say you do need a car.
The pool is great. The supermarket at the bottom of the hill is good enough, but the one in Ipsos is half the price!! As you are in the trees, there are lots of wasps and mosquitoes! Eating outside is difficult.
Despite this review we did have a lovely holiday & made the most of it.
However, Villa Nitsa is expensive given the additional expenses when there and Nissaki isn’t somewhere we will return.

'Beautiful Villa'
Overall we had a fantastic time at Villa Nitsa. The villa had everything we needed including a Nespresso coffee machine (bring your own capsules) which was quite important for us 😂 and it was beautiful, well maintained and relaxing.
The communication with Prestige villas was very good, quick responses to a few things we needed sorting .
Recommendations:
The villa isn’t ideal for families with young kids or mobility issues, it is located on a very steep narrow hill. Going up the hill was very difficult especially in the heat and even the car struggled at times.
To go to Vitamins restaurant you have to cross a very busy main road , it’s not safe.
It’s a 5 min drive to Mitsos/Marys Lab restaurants by the bay, it’s not walkable. Car parking at Nisaki Bay where the restaurants are located is an issue, we could never find a space, food is mediocre and expensive.
If you have young kids we would recommend Paralia Kalamaki , half hour away from the villa, the beach is sandy and shallow-great for the kids . The restaurant prices here are half that of the ones in Nissaki.
The prices in Aphroditis supermarket at the bottom of the hill are non existent, we had the impression the lady was making up the prices as she went along . €16.50 for a cheap bottle of Prosecco .. be prepared or bring your own 😂
We paid extra for the pool to be heated and it was worth it.

'Great Villa for a relaxing holiday'
Great location and views of sea and surrounding hills. The Villa was well presented and provided all you need for a relaxing holiday. Local bakery, supermarket and tavernas just a short walk down the hill. Everyone was very helpful and friendly.

'Fabulous Villa Nitsa'
This was our first experience with Prestige Villas but the 5th time renting a villa in Cofu. From this experience with Prestige, we have to say we were very pleased. Communication was very efficient. As for the Villa, well....we were very impressed!
Very well equipped, modern appliances, quality TV, good Wi-Fi, spacious and comfortable. Nice showers with plenty of hot water. Superb pool and lovely grounds with a high degree of seclusion with fabulous views.
Pool and villa cleaning were done regularly.
Our only real issue was with the coffee percolator which was immediately replaced with a new one by the owner!
We love the area of Nissaki. Nice selection of restaurants, supermarkets, boat hire etc. Recommendations: Nikolas restaurant at Agni for the best Greek experience. Katerinas supermarket for better prices and they deliver. Fontas boat hire.
All in all yet another great holiday in Cofu and we will definitely be looking to book with Prestige again.

'A perfect holiday place'
Villa Nitsa was quite simply our idea of perfection. It was clean, comfortable, had everything we needed and excellent air con which was important during the heatwave. We loved the peaceful area and snorkelling in the cove at the bottom of the hill each morning. If I could live there I definitely would!

'September 2019'
We had a lovely relaxing stay at Villa Nitsa. The villa was well appointed with everything you needed and very clean. Outside the garden furniture was comfortable and had great views. The pool was well used to cool off as the weather was very hot during our stay. The welcome pack was a nice surprise and contained a good selection which would have covered the first evening meal and breakfast. The slight issues we had during our stay at the villa were dealt with very quickly. The booking process and support from Jane and the team was fantastic. Our only advice for making the stay better would be to insulate the outside water pump as did disturb us at night. Overall would thoroughly recommend Villa Nitsa and Prestige Villa of Corfu

'Wonderful Family Holiday'
Our son booked a three week family holiday and to say it was idyllic is an understatement. Privacy, peace and quiet, absolute fun time in the pool with our grandchildren, excellent tavernas just down the hill (rather steep, which is OK if you are driving) was absolutely fantastic! We were able to travel around the island easily ( but remember Corfu Town is now a one way system) and revisited The Achilleon which we did on on our honeymoon. WIll always love Corfu and was an absolute pleasure to stay at Villa Nitsa with our family.

'A Highly Enjoyable Stay'
Could not have been more happy with our choice. The fantastic booking process was personal and came with great advice, the building and facilities as described. Beautifully and meticulously cleaned. Home for my family for 13 days over the summer and the place now holds many treasured memories for us.
Loved the fact the neighbours' family of goats kept escaping and drinking from the swimming pool, Villa Nitsa was comfortable, had stunning views - and for us left priceless memories, what more could you ask for?
Our reply:
Thank you so much for your lovely review, a nice suprise to receive it five months after your stay, thank you so much, we really appreciate you taking the time. Best wishes for the New year!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Nitsa. The villa is very comfy with a lovely pool and outdoor area. We loved that part of Corfu with the beautiful villages and coves to visit. Very unspoilt relatively un-touristy area and peaceful. Recommend hiring a boat to see the island. Car essential. Some super Tavernas nearby, especially Agni (at Agni) and Vitamins at Nissaki which is walking distance from the villa albeit down quite a steep hill.

We have just returned from a wonderful 9 days staying at Villa Nitsa. We were 5 adults and there was plenty of space in the villa and outside. The villa is situated on the hillside overlooking the bay and surrounded by Olive groves. It is not overlooked and you have a real sense of peace and tranquility, a perfect place to kick back and relax. The Villa was spotless and was cleaned twice during our stay and the swimming pool maintained every other day. In addition there was an excellent welcome pack on arrival which was a lovely touch and helpful.
The villa was equipped with everything you could possibly need to enjoy your holiday. The location is in a quiet spot although there are a few Tavernas within walking distance of the villa. That said the road up to the villa is very hilly. The local shop Aphrodites has all, the essentials you need and also run a bakery for fresh bread and pastries, they are very friendly and welcoming.
Prestige Villas of Corfu, have been excellent to deal with and I would definitely recommend them and also Villa Nitsa for your next holiday.

Nigel - Thank you so much for taking the time post this review. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay, I've passed on your comments to Christos the owner who will be over the moon with the positive feedback. It's our first year with this villa and there's very little availability now, it has been hugely popular. I am sure future guests will be pleased to read your comments. Thanks again for choosing our company to arrange your holiday and we hope to hear from you again if you decide on another holiday in Corfu!! Best wishes Jane & the team
