Our family of 3 couples visited Villa Lily in July and none of us could ever get tired of the view, whether from the rooms, the balconies, the outside dining areas, or the lovely infinity pool.
We discussed amongst the 6 of us if anyone has ever seen a view to even match our current location. Although between us we have visited a vast number of countries in the world we could not think of anywhere to beat it.
Although these villas may not be for all people as they are positioned up the hill behind Nidri, for a lot of couples, families and groups they are a beautiful quiet retreat and yet just a few minutes drive, or about 20 minutes walk to Nidri, or less to the local restaurant and bar in the village of Raci.
The rooms all had air conditioning, the equipment throughout the villa was adequate and the beds were all comfortable, albeit that the top room was not for tall people with its sloped ceilings.
We loved the garden with its bougainvillea and other plants as did the beautiful butterflies. We were also fascinated by the other local wildlife, including the tiny Prey-mantis that we noticed in the lavender bushes.
There are currently 5 villas at Amalia and we assume some may be more suitable than others for young families with their infinity pools & locations, but young families were staying in the other villas and they did not appear to have any concerns.
Thank you Nico, Eva, Nadia and Marie for your hospitality and help. We do not often consider returning to the same location, but in this case we hope to make an exception and return again, maybe with more of our family or friends.
