Stunning villa with incredible amenities and views
What a wonderful week my family and I have just spent at this incredible villa! I can't recommend it highly enough. The views out over Nydri and beyond to the islands are to die for, the villa (up a fairly steep road but worth it for the views) is absolutely spotless and the amenities superb. We loved using the BBQ in the evenings and had to drag ourselves away in order to see something of the island; there was so much to do at the villa (including the swimming pool, jacuzzi and hammock tower) that we could have spent the whole time there! Monica & Steve (the owners) were lovely and so helpful, answering all our questions quickly, nothing was too much trouble. We also had a very generous welcome pack on arrival. We were very sad to leave but vowed that will definitely be coming back soon!

A very special villa.
I have just spent a wonderful week in this very special villa with my daughter and grandchildren again - we love this place. Last year we stayed somewhere else and spend the whole time saying "should have gone back to Steve's!". Its always spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and the views are to die for. Steve and Monika are perfect hosts and every need is provided for and - thank you Steve for introducing me to the Giant Beans - i love them!!

Visit No 3 - such a relaxing Villa with spectacular views.
This is our third stay with Steve at Villa Octavius and as always he is the perfect host. The Villa has everything we could possibly need, and its design has been so well considered, Steve has thought of everything. We spend our days relaxing around the lovely pool, a dip in the hot tub and lots of time admiring the spectacular views. There is a great restaurant within walking distance and it is a short drive into town with a good choice of Tavernas, Bars and shops. We will definitely be returning for visit number 4 x

Stunning - don’t hesitate just book!
Just back from two weeks at this wonderful stunning Villa. Steve and Monica go over and above to please. The villa is outstanding and the views just stunning, words cannot describe. We went on a few boat trips where we were skippered by Steve, who took us to places on the islands ee would never have found. The little restaurant just 5-7 minutes walk has a delicious menu and easily accommodated our group of 8 several times. Nidri is just 20-30 minute walk depending on ability. Slightly hilly but taxis at 10 euros are great. I’d recommend anyone who is thinking of going to Octavia to just book! You will not be disappointed.

Outstanding Villa in Nidri
We booked to have our wedding at the villa which surpassed our expectations, the 360 views, the pool, the jacuzzi and all the luxury amenities the hosts couldn't be more helpfull during our stay. We had a wonderful wedding ceremony, it will be remembered for years to come.
I would 100 % recommend this villa to any one visiting Nidri.
Thank you to our hosts for making it so special.

5* villa with the perfect view
This villa is 5* all the way with 360 degree views over the islands and mountains that absolutely can not be bettered. You just never get tired of those views! It is a luxury property , very comfortable providing privacy and space yet only a 5 minute taxi ride into the nearby town of Nidri. We love our home from home and return as often as we possibly can - need I say more!

Superb as usual
This villas is so amazing that we’ve been there every year twice a year since we discovered it 10 years ago.
The view is just incredible!
Also the attention to detail in the whole villa is second to none.
We travel as a couple but if there is a large group of people there are plenty of areas to relax. Theres an amazing room on top of the villa with hammocks and seating areas with an incredible view and the villa also has a hot Tub in its own garden area.
The villa is always absolutely spotless and very well maintained. Every year we arrive there is usually something different done which is lovely to see. Steve and Monica are always available to offer any advice or recommendations we might need.
The villa is close to Nydri harbour with lots of really lovely restaurants bars and shopping.
We can’t wait to go back in October!

All rooms are tastefully decorated, the outdoor space is fantastic for dining and relaxing by the pool, or just admiring the incredible views of Nidri and the islands that surround you. Already booked for next year . Thank you to our hosts Steve and Monica
