Nicolas Studios

We stayed at these studios for 5 nights, what a wonderful family. NIcko picked us up from the ferry and took us to the studios where mamma greeted us with watermelon and delicious cakes and biscuits. The studios are kept spotlessly clean and are very comfortable. Nothing is too much trouble and NIcko kindly drove us to Kampos beach and to Chora. A great little place to stay

We had an incredible stay at Patmos and the Nicolas studios. My husband and I last visited Patmos 29 years ago and we had fond memories of Meloi beach so wanted to stay close to there but also in walking distance of skala. The location of the studios was ideal, a short walk to Meloi and about 10 min walk to town. The studio was really comfortable and we had a lovely view of the sea. Nicolas and his family were so kind. Nicolas picked us up and dropped us off at the port. We had watermelon and water when we arrived. Cake appeared in our room that evening. It was my husbands birthday while there and they left a beer for us. On our last eve Nicolas dropped off some cheese and grapes for us. He helped us arrange e-bikes and was always offering lifts (although we enjoy walking places). We were thrilled that although Patmos has changed it was still the special place that we remembered from our Youth. We had some fantastic meals and there are some lovely bars. We walked up to Chora via the old donkey path, which is hard work but worth it. The highlight was the e-bikes, we got to see areas of the island we hadn’t seen before and the most incredible views. We had a very special stay, which was made all the more special by Nicolas and his family. We’ll go back to Patmos (and not leave it 29 years next time!), and wouldn’t hesitate to book Nicolas studios. P.s Meloi beach is quiet, no sunbeds, but that’s it’s charm….laid back and shade from trees.

Amazing stay in Patmos, in what proved to be an excellent location, close to the amenities in Skala, but sufficiently away from the August crowd. This is a great combination of bucolic comfort and home feeling, with the owner, Nicolas, always ready to help. I'd recommend this place very highly, and I'd definitely go back here, if in Patmos again.

Nikolas Studios is a litte paradise on this magnificent island! Once you’ve stayed there, you will never forget it. Nicolas and his whole family make you feel at home in their very special way. Fruit and vegetables from their garden, Nicolas’ special milk rice, which he cooks himself, the nature and animals in the beautiful fields around the houses, the warm welcome you get right at the port, where he picks you up…everything is done with love and so much hospitality. If you are looking for a place to feel at home in your holiday, there is no other place in Patmos than Nicolas Studios 😀.

The owner Nicolas picked us up from the port, on arrival at the accommodation he told us to leave our luggage in reception and directed us to shaded area he returned with a big plate of water melon, his daughter then joined us bringing us a glass of orange. We sat chatting for a while and was made to feel very welcome. We spoke about hiring a moped within less than five minutes a moped was delivered to the property for us to check to see if it suited our needs. The room was spotlessly clean with a very large super comfy bed with good quality bed linen and pillows. We had balcony with chairs and a table which was lovely to sit out there with your morning coffee. The whole accommodation is nicely painted which shows how much time and effort is put into this property. Nicolas has chickens and goats he also grows lots of different fruits and vegetables, he gave us eggs which he had hard boiled, home grown tomatoes, and the most amazing rice puddings which he made with milk from his goats. His wife had made cakes and biscuits which had been left in the room for our arrival. Nicolas took us in his car up to the monastery and the caves and waited whilst we looked round, after that he took us on a little sight seeing trip. On our last day we wanted to go a beach that was not within walking distance Nicolas kindly took us and collected us again later in the day. We went the the fruit and veg shop and brought carrots and cabbage to feed his goats. The whole family are all involved with the accommodation ( 2 sons and 1 daughter) they are all so kind and friendly and made our stay one that we will never forget. If ever we find ourselves in Patmos again we would definitely stay here. Thank you Nicolas and your lovely family.

Nicolas and his family were the kindest people we met anywhere in Greece. Nicolas picked us up from the port, helped us find a rental car, gave us all sorts of information, fed us goat cheese from his goats, and even gave us a little Easter basket since we were there over Greek Easter. His wife and grown kids help out and were also lovely. The hotel is about 1/4 mile from the center, slightly away from the water. It has a very rural feel with lots of roosters crowing. Our room had a lovely balcony and was nice and quiet - except for Easter afternoon when the neighbors set off extremely loud explosions for several hours. This is a tradition in Greece but be aware if you are staying there over Greek Easter. This is an exception to an otherwise peaceful place so I recommend it highly.

The facilities are simple and somewhat worn, but acceptable. Considering that one has access to the pool and restaurant in the adjacent hotel Elvita, one lives well. The staff is friendly and helpful. The room is sp****ly furnished, and could definitely use some more shelving, especially the bathroom. As in most all Mediterranean hotels, the beds are quite short & hard - I’ve never quite figured that out. I would stay here again.
