Villa Christini a luxury villa with amazing views

A beautiful villa in a beautiful location, surrounded by traditional Greek stone houses and Greek people, not tourists! House is well laid out, nice and cool with air con in each room, plus great pool/outdoor bbq area. And Ioannis our host was so incredibly kind and helpful, even greeted us at 2am when we first arrived as our flight was delayed and let us stay on late on our final day as we had a late flight. Just perfect. Nothing was too much trouble - we will definitely come again. Thanks again Ioannis.

Nothing.

The villa was very spacious with modern amenities. There was plenty of space for us, with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The garden was very large with plenty of shade and the pool was perfect for a refreshing dip. Yiannis was a perfect host, who had all the time to provide some great tips and advice. He was also always on hand for questions if required. The villa is situated in a very small village with no shops, just a restaurant that only opens in the weekend. It is very quiet, if you want to get away from the mad rush of everyday life, this is perfect for you. You do need a car, and within 20 minutes you can visit many beaches, villages and restaurants. Our favourite place to relax was the Salty Goat, with is a beach bar along the Episkopi beach, here 2x sunbed with parasol costs €10. You can also visit club paradise which is on the same beach a little closer to the villa, beds are free as long as you purchase something from the bar. Trips to Lake kournas to see turtles swimming in the lake, hire a peddle boat for an hour to see the turtles. Also Big Waterfall is worth a visit, take note that the water is freezing cold. Chania is also accessible along with a day trip to Balos Beach in the north or Skinaria beach in the south.

Parking the car at the villa is a challenge, although you can park a short walk away.

Zeer mooie villa met alle mogelijke faciliteiten aanwezig. We werden verwelkomd met een drankje en fruit. Ook voldoende keukenmateriaal om voor 6 personen zelf te koken. Wifi werkt uitstekend. Zeer vriendelijke gastheer die altijd bereikbaar is.

Je kan niet parkeren voor de deur maar op wandelafstand.

Everything was absolutely amazing 🤩

Beautifully situated villa in a charming traditional Cretan village. Perfectly situated to explore the western part of the island (close to Rethymno, Chania, nice beaches and of course the Lefka Ori mountains. The old stone was renovated with charm and modern amenties of first class. Even better then the pictures! Wonderful host, very helpful and caring. We recommend this villa for everyone searching for a peaceful Cretan experience!

Fantastic private outdoor area where we spent most of our time and could always find some shade. Lovely rustic, well equipped and clean house in a quiet location. Nice pool (roughly 3x6 meters). Yannis, the host, was very helpful and friendly and speaks english very well! Great experience eating in the village taverna that is a short walk from the house.

There was really nothing not to like. It was a very tight spot to park the car right outside the house, wouldn't have wanted to have a large car to squeeze in, but it was also possible to park a very short walk from the house so it really wasn't a problem. The village is very quiet so not for anyone looking for nightlife.

We liked everything, especially the pool area and terraces. The villa itself is spacious and very clean. The nature and small village atmosphere are amazing. Perfect choice if you are into easy-going life and total relaxation. The host was so friendly and helpful. Kids loved the pool. The view over the valley and to the mountain above were unforgettable.

The car is a must to get around, but we were prepared for it.

The host, Ioannis, met us at the airport and drove with us to the house even though we rented a car at the airport. His hospitality and sense of professionalism were quite simply unforgettable. He helped us with everything we needed, especially when we had a medical emergency in the group he helped take care of the paperwork and went with us to the local hospital. The house itself is very well equipped, quite spacious and very comfortable. Situated in a village, it offers for a truly authentic experience.
