We booked villa Asteria as our base for our daughter's wedding in Nikiana. We knew that the accommodation was going to suit us perfectly, with a villa "upstairs" and an apartment for "the happy couple" and the children and a little studio for our eldest son and daughter in law, we all had our own front doors.
Upon arrival in Nikiana, we did drive past the road leading up to the villa - yes that little track really is it! And then after the Blue and White villa, it is not just 7 "turns" that you have to pass but 7 "HAIRPINS", but once we were there it took our breath away!
For two weeks our hopes, dreams and expectations were surpassed, everything we could have wished for was in our little villa and it was our "home from home" - just what we needed at our base for the big day especially, but because of the ample space, with breath taking views, we were able to host a number of large lunches and BBQ's for up to 25 people comfortably and with enough plates and cutlery!
After long days, we were able to crash in our super comfy beds and slept so well, but I highly recommend getting up early to witness the peace and tranquillity of the beautiful sunrise and the sparkling sea which changes from moment to moment.
I have to say though, the outstanding thing from our holiday was our host Dioni and her partner Costas, they were quite simply the most welcoming and hospitable hosts I have ever experienced - and we have had a LOT of villa holidays. Nothing was too much trouble, they bent over backwards to try and make our stay even more comfortable. With homemade Foccacia Bread, Pizza's and beautiful and greatly appreciated pancakes for breakfast, one morning after a particularly boozy and late party!
This little review, only scratches the surface of our wonderful holiday we had at Diodati, I can not recommend it highly enough.
Thank you Dioni and Costas!
