Villa Kristina, Luxury villa, sea view, private pool, outdoor kitchen/living

You couldn’t ask for anything more. The villa was stunning. We didn’t won’t for anything. It had everything you need and more. The Host Sella was absolutely amazing with all the places to go to and places to eat she was so generous . The welcome basket was so wonderful touch. Id highly recommend a beautiful place to stay.

Villa Kristina has a wonderful pool and outside area, located in a very rural location which is peaceful with stunning views out to sea to the North. The interior offered everything we needed, it is dated and the bathrooms are quite small but all that we needed for a family stay. Stella was an excellent host where nothing was too much trouble and excellent communication and recommendations. Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Kristina for a week as a group of friends along with our small toddler. The pool and view beyond it are fantastic, Stella is a very helpful and kind host and it's in good striking distance of many nice beaches / swimming spots, as well as a both Rethymno and Chania. Wouldn't hestitate to recommend!

Everything Stella wrote in the ad is true. It is a wonderful, clean and comfortable house with plenty of nice places to stay inside and expecially outside. The view from the balcony, the pool and the terraces to the sea is unforgettable. Stella, the landlady, is only as far away as your mobile phone is. She knows perfecty well all you can imagine about places to go and things to see. Couldn't be more helpful from the distance. Just in time via WhatsApp. Thank you for everything! Not to forget: the sending of our forgotten iPad... Henrik and family

The weather was a bit cold but our host ensured we had heating and suitable bedding. The pool is sparkling and villa well equipped for all our needs. Advice on local restaurants etc was exceptional and expansive, every recommendation we took up was better than anticipated.

Villa Kristina was a wonderful base for our first trip to Crete, we could have stayed for much longer! We loved the views of the sea, the stars at night, the pool, and exploring the nearby beaches and towns. Stella was very helpful with many recommendations that made for a great stay!

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Katrina. Stella provided so much useful information about the villa, car hire, local area and things to do, both upfront and during our stay - nothing was too much trouble and any queries/issues were all sorted very promptly. The villa itself was fantastic - very comfy beds and sun beds, fantastic views and great pool and outdoor areas. The pizza oven was a big hit! The village is also lovely - all the locals very friendly and two great restaurants. Overall just what we all needed for our first holiday abroad in three years - thank you. Hopefully we will be back!!

We were very warmly welcomed and supported with all questions we had. We felt very cozy and like at home in this beautiful house and surrounding! We can only recommend this nice place and would love to come again.

Villa Kristina is a fantastic place to stay - the location and setting were lovely with great views. Despite being a last-minute booking, Stella provided a level of information, service and advice that was second to none. The villa was equipped with everything we needed and was spotlessly clean on arrival. In 25 years of hiring villas, I don’t think we have ever seen a pool that has stayed so clean and inviting! We really couldn’t fault the villa nor Stella’s attention to detail and prompt and efficient communication. Very impressed!

We made a last minute booking for this property during the Coronavirus outbreak which was a bit of a risk. We needn’t have worried- there were lots of measures in place to ensure the villa was clean- remote controls in plastic bags, antibacterial products all provided. Communication from the owner, Stella, was superb throughout. The property is beautiful with so many outdoor spaces to relax. The kids spent hours in the pool (a bit cool at first but perfect once you’re in!) Indoors there is everything you need, including a decent sized tv, washing machine, microwave, coffee machine. The property isn’t overlooked so It feels like you are in the middle of nowhere, with the sound of cicadas, the occasional goat and cockerel. The stars at night are spectacular! However, 10 minutes away (up a bit of a hill) is the village which had 3 tavernas. We ended up eating out most nights as it felt perfectly safe. We had a hire car to visit the beach, some nearby villages and lakes. Really recommend the pedalo boats on Lake Kournas, where you can spot turtles swimming and then eat in one of the many tavernas (NB watch out for the many hairpin bends on the roads in in Crete!) This was a lovely, relaxing break in a beautiful setting and we would definitely return.
