Villa Nika Boutique Hotel

Great small apartment complex. Lovely pool and nice apartment with Aircon in bedroom and living room. 5 mins to aghia marina beach which is pebble sand and stones. 15 min walk into main port and several mins to old port. 5 mins to a supermarket. Lovely owners and Niki who you deal with is lovely . If coming to Spetses you tend to fly to Athens and then get to pursue and get an appx 2 hr hydrofoil. We did it different on way out. Flew to Athens on 5.40 flight from LGW . Then got courtesy bus to Pops car rental. They do a one way hire car drop off to Kosta which is about a 10 min crossing to Spetses. Works out slightly cheaper than the traditional way. Appx 3 hr drive through nice Greek countryside to Kosta. We then got car ferry to Spetses. On way back recommend paying slightly more for 1st class if getting 2 hr Hellenic seaways hydrofoil . Is upstairs in wider seats and less seats. Upon reaching Athens port you can walk 10 mins to Piraeus Metro station where the Blue line now goes direct to the Airport with no changes. Costs 9 euros and ticket valid for 90 mins.

We’ve had 5 nights here and would highly recommend it. It is far more charming and elegant than the photos on Tripadvisor suggest. Everywhere is immaculate and spotlessly clean. We’ve stayed in a one bed apartment with sea view which is tastefully furnished and has plenty of space, thoughtfully designed. Bed is comfy, good linen and good quality towels. The pool area is stunning, a wide and beautifully designed pool that has been very quiet during our whole stay. I thought a very nice touch was that the pool is officially closed for an afternoon siesta but if you were quiet you could still use it - really considerate and respectful for those that do/don’t want a nap. To top it all the owners Maria.& Yannis are incredibly friendly yet discreet. They are supported by a lovely and hard working team, We would like to say a special thanks to Niki who was so helpful before we arrived making our reservation and sharing information and was exceptional during our stay. Nothing was too much bother. Location is really good, a gentle 10 minute walk to the Old Port which has lots of great restaurants and bars. 2 min walk to the local beach where there’s a couple of restaurants. My final point of recognition is that our holiday was delayed from June due to Corona, our original plan was to postpone it until 2021 and Maria & Yannis had been prepared to move our deposit to next year which we really appreciated given how hard this season will have been for everyone. This family run hotel is incredibly special and definitely worth a visit. If we ever come back to Spetses we will be staying here

We booked last minute and couldn't believe our luck when we arrived by horse and carriage taxi and opened the gate to find a beautiful villa in gorgeous gardens with an inviting pool and welcoming staff. The room was immaculate, the al fresco breakfasts delicious and the host, Maria was warm and welcoming. The location is perfect for exploring the old port too. I hope we can return in the future!
