Just back from a week here in early July. Rooms are simple but clean & sufficient with comfortable beds. Fantastic to have a full sized under-counter fridge and kettle provided (no T&C though). Aircon worked well, was included in price and was absolutely essential for us. It got up to 38 degrees in the shade and the heat radiates from the buildings well into the evening & it felt hard to escape the heat at times (other than your room of course). Balconies were great in the morning, but just too hot for us from mid morning to around 8pm. Great for drying clothes though! Breakfast was fine - eggs, bacon, sausage, toast, bread, melon, yoghurt, Greek pastries and a hot drinks machine. Plenty of supermarkets very close by for water, milk, toiletries etc. We ate in the Avra tavern a few times - not the best meals of the holiday, but still good food. The staff are helpful, friendly and ready to have a chat. The location of the hotel is just wonderful - so close to the beach with plenty of trees providing essential shade. Enough sun beds (€5 each per day) which some reserved with towels the night before but you can also sit at some tables under the trees without the need to buy food from the taverna. The outside areas were well tended and the small beach was cleaned and checked first thing daily. The water gets cloudy through swimmers disturbing the sand though, so get in early for great snorkelling (7am). The beach is mainly of very small stones which shift underfoot at the waters edge making it potentially tricky getting in and out (as per my 84yr old Dad). We’d stay here again for sure if revisiting Nidri as the hotel and taverna provide everything needed with good, clean facilities both on site and close by. Thank-you for making it a great stay.
