Villa Nicolli Romantic Resort - Adults Only

My fiancée and I stayed at Villa Nicolli Romantic Resort between the dates of 19-26th June. I’ll start with the positives & move onto where we think improvements could be made. It’s worth noting we booked as a package through TUI. Upon arrival the hotel staff were welcoming & handed us a letter detailing most things we needed to know. We checked in around midday & our room was ready for us. We booked a standard room with balcony (only available option through TUI), I liked the decor although I have seen some negative comments on the brown carpets. There is enough storage space for clothes but nothing for suitcases. The bathroom is small & very dated, my fiancée is 6 foot 3, the shower was a squeeze for him. The room was very clean, tea & coffee making facilities are provided but no milk. I learned on day 5 they keep the creamer behind the front desk. There is a mini bar in the room but it’s overpriced, you CANNOT use this as a fridge, your things are removed when housekeeping come round. We booked on a half board basis so breakfast & dinner were provided. The maitre Ignacio is extremely professional and cannot do enough for you, his friendly nature & willingness to help stood out. I didn’t enjoy one of my courses one evening, he spotted this & immediately came over with his recommendation, changing my dish with no fuss. Dinner is 5 courses, the food is exquisite & the service is 5*. Water is not free though, please be aware of that as when you check out your water bill alone will be around €30. All guests have their own tables at breakfast & dinner throughout their stay, I liked this touch. Breakfast was continental with the option of adding eggs and bacon. There was plenty of choice & we enjoyed it every day. One day there was a chocolate fountain & Prosecco. The pool is a small area with sunbeds around it & a few more in the garden. It’s a nice, well kept area & feels about right for the size of the hotel. Guests don’t reserve beds & on the good weather days people don’t tend to stay on them all day. The outdoor bar wasn’t open but there was a waiter service. Unfortunately for us the weather was bad for 5 out of the 7 days we were there. This didn’t leave us with much to do. The hotel seem to cater for more mature guests, we are in our 30’s/40’s & felt like we were mostly stared at & judged by the vast majority of guests- not the hotels fault but worth noting if you are young or young ish. We were bored, there are no English tv channels & you can only connect your phone to the hotels TV if it’s a Samsung. Overall we were satisfied with the hotel, unfortunately its was the weather that well and truly ruined our holiday. The staff do try their best for you. If you want to spa treatments just check you are ok with the prices before you book. Here are a few suggestions of ours that could make it a more “romantic resort”. Soundproofing in rooms - I heard all our neighbours use the toilet, shower & much more. Privacy on balconies -

Fantastic location, great food with organic products, beautiful clean throughout with a gorgeous pool area. However, the room decor is stuck in the “70’s” with brown carpet. It’s such a shame as the rest of the hotel is lovely and fairly modern. The toilet seat didn’t fit the toilet and it’s not very nice having to sit on the rim, not really acceptable from a 4 star hotel. When we mentioned this upon leaving, the staff didn’t seem surprised, so it appears to be a known problem. Posted a picture, which hopefully will prompt them to change it!

We visited Hotel Villa Nicolli at end of May/start of June. This hotel was absolutely excellent in very way from start to finish. It is spotlessly clean, the food was plentiful and of excellent quality. The staff are to be commended, from those who service the bedrooms, those at reception and ALL those who serve in the dining rooms. We would recommend this hotel without hesitation and look forward to returning.

One of the best run hotels we have stayed at. You can tell by the service and cleanliness of the hotel and grounds that the staff take great pride in their hotel. Food was first class , different choices every night and local produce used. Location was a 15 minute stroll from lake frontage and as the hotel is in a residential area it was quiet at night. Overall a really relaxing stay at this family run hotel, would totally recommend 100%.

Had a lovely stay in the last week of May. We have stayed here many times over the years and we absolutely love it. The hotel ground floor has only just been refurbished and it is amazing !! The staff are all very friendly and helpful. A big thank you to Alessia, Sylvia, Renato, Ignatio and all the dining room staff. To the housemaids who are relentless at keeping the hotel spotless a big thank you . Apologies if I have forgotten anyone. Service in the dinning rooms both at breakfast and dinner was exceptional as was the food and wine another thank you to kitchen staff who worked tirelessly to produce this. Kind regards Eileen & Jim
