Resort Description
Fiscardo, an utterly idyllic harbour village located in the north of the island simply oozes charm and is particularly popular with discerning travellers seeking a quiet, relaxing holiday in a picture postcard setting.
The neighbouring hamlets and villages (Vassiliki, Maganos and Antipata to name but a few) surrounding Fiscardo offer fabulous views of the magical and Mythical Ithaca, literally a hop, skip & jump away, and along with the numerous idyllic little coves scattered around this region, one can easily understand why this magnetic destination attracts a ridiculously high number of repeat guests each year. The exquisite seaside village of Assos can also be found nearby, yet another of the Erissos peninsulas charming and iconic gems. Its jumble of tiny houses with their colourful bougainvillea clad façades, are a photographers dream and there are spectacular views from its elevated Venetian castle, well worth the scenic 45 minute stroll!
As for Fiscardo itself, Pastel painted harbour front cottages with their traditional brightly coloured shutters reveal picture-postcard views of the harbour and Ithaca beyond. This really is an amazing place to indulge in a spot of people watching, as the harbour front café’s and restaurants are regularly filled with celebrities who frequently hop over on their little tender boats from their vast and insanely expensive yachts and motor cruisers.

Villa Nikolas is a lovely, well equipped holiday home. With a great Taverna at the top of the road serving lovely food, Fiskardo only a 5 minute drive away and a lovely beach only a 15-20 minute walk from the villa, the location is really good for a family holiday. Waking up every morning to a fabulous view over countryside and the Mediterranean made relaxing very easy.

I have been to Fiskardo many times, I just love the vibe and the feel of the area. It’s not as traditional as some other parts of the island but for me it’s perfect, the right balance of rustic and chic. This villa is a couple of miles outside the resort, as most of the villas are, an offers exceptional views and sunsets. If I was being picky I’d say that in the mornings there is a lot of shade around the pool but by the afternoon all is good. The villa next door is quite close so if you have noisy neighbours it could spoil things, fortunately we had 6 days with either nobody next door or they were very quiet. On the last day with a party of 6 their conversation could be quite intrusive.

We loved the area and the villa was great. Very spacious for a family of 5. The location was good to but you will need a car as it’s a too far to walk into Fiscardo, especially in the heat. We had minor hiccup with the air con in one room which the owner came to sort the same evening. The outside areas were great for dining and watching the superb sunsets and the pool was ideal for cooling down. We appreciated the 2x weekly maid service.

We loved the location of the villa, very clean, fantastic views, we especially enjoyed sitting on the upstairs balcony with a drink watching the sunset. There is a very nice taverna in walking distance. And the local beach, Dafnoudi, is lovely, pebbly and a bit of a walk but worth the effort. Fiskardo is 5 mins by car and there you will find a lots of very nice tavernas and shops. The bakery especially was worth a visit. We hope to return. The only thing we can think of that might be useful would be a safe in the villa, otherwise excellent .

Villa Nickolas is perhaps the best one so far that we have rented from Solmar and we are on our 5th one! The position is fabulous with great views from the terraces. The villa is built to a high standard with good quality fixtures and fittings. The kitchen was particularly well equipped with plenty of cooking utensils. The one slight complaint is that there are no shower curtains so floors get wet! I would recommend villa Nickolas as a great place to visit.

Lovely villa off the beaten track but still within a five minute drive to Fiskardo. Owner Angelina was so friendly and keen to make sure everything was ok for our stay. The peace and isolation of the villa were just what we were looking for. Villa had everything we needed and felt like a home from home. Views were stunning and the outside space was well maintained, pool very clean and loungers and furniture of a high standard.

We have had a wonderful stay in Villa Nikolas. It is a beautiful property with excellent out door space. The location is superb with wonderful views. We were able to walk to the cafe and restaurant in the village; both very good. We did a lot of walking from the villa, following well marked paths, including down to Dafnoudi beach. The steps to the property may be a problem for those with limited mobility but we are no spring chickens and didn't find them a problem! We will return.

Beautiful villa with amazing views across the valley towards the sea. Very well appointed with everything you need. The access along the track is interesting(!) and the steps up to the house kept us fit but well worth it. Very peaceful - no traffic noise whatsoever, just the birds and the goat bells when they were herded along the valley in the evening. Fiskardo is bustling and has all the facilities you need- supermarkets, bars and restaurants but is a 5 minute drive away. The villa is actually in Antipata and faces west across the other side of the island from Fiskardo but means the sunsets are truly wonderful. Antipata is a 5 minute walk where there is a great little taverna and another lovely breakfast/lunch bar/restaurant as well as a small supermarket. Would thoroughly recommend a stay at Villa Nikolas.

Relaxing stress free location, with beautiful sunsets and chilled atmosphere. Views were outstanding along with the amenities available to us, A very spacious villa in a great location for sampling the local hospitality available in places like Fiscardo . Clean and luxurious furnishings add to your comfort and needs, along with fast and speedy response should any additional support be needed from your local rep Karron and Pauline the owner. We had a wonderful and relaxing time, with no need to rush around trying to see to much at once, we plan to return to enjoy more in the future. Thank you for a lovely holiday experience.

A spacious well equipped villa but the steep access steps to the villa will not be ideal for all. The location of the villa dictates the need for a car. The nearest resort is around 3 km away down the mountain road and the port of fiscado is very nice.
