Lovely clean villa very well managed by host and local manager
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.

Lovely home!
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!

August 2022 family holiday
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!!

Amazing villa and great host
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!

Beautiful villa
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.

Can’t wait to go back next year!
Our holiday at Villa Kristina was everything we had hoped for it to be and more. The villa has the most wonderful views out to sea and a gorgeous pool to soak up the sun and relax. It provides all the amenities needed for a relaxing and enjoyable holiday and is a very comfortable home. We loved the location, it felt secluded but close enough to all amenities and the village of Kefalas is very quaint and has some wonderful tavernas to eat or enjoy a drink at. Stella was brilliant with communication and made sure we got there safely, it was a struggle to find in the dark but we found her instructions very useful. We were also grateful for all the recommendations for the local area and our lovely cakes that were delivered to us on our anniversary. All in all, we couldn’t have wished for a better holiday and can’t wait to visit again. Thank you!

We chose this property as we had stayed in a neighbouring property the previous year and enjoyed the village and surrounding area, and wanted to return. Villa Kristina did not disappoint! It is in a quiet, private area with views out over the sea and down the coast towards Rethymno, but within easy walking distance of the village centre, with landscaped garden and welcoming pool. The house itself is very tastefully decorated and is equipped for a family stay. The owner has been incredibly easy to contact and has been welcoming and helpful throughout the process and stay. The surrounding towns and villages of the Apokorokos area are charming, welcoming, and with tavernas almost everywhere you go. The property is also well situated for trips to the bigger towns of Chania and Rethymno, and also, for the active/adventurous, the many amazing natural activities on offer in western Crete, including the Samaria and Imbros gorges, many watersports, etc. My only reservation in recommending this property so highly is my selfish desire to return there, and be able to keep it all to myself when booking!

Tranquil and very private setting far from the crowds of Chania
Villa Kristina was all we wanted - exactly as described and extremely well provided for as if a home rather than a holiday rental. We enjoyed a relaxing stay with our adult daughters - loved going to surrounding villages, admiring beautiful views of the coast and White Mountains and enjoyed Chania and Rethymnon. The setting is so peaceful with the gentle sound of cicadas and the muffled bells on the goats. The flowers were especially beautiful at this time of year and we loved the beautifully kept garden. Frank was always quick to reply and incredibly helpful - and just sorry that in 36 degrees we did not, in the end, make the pizzas despite excellent instructions. One thing we particularly loved was the extensive choice of seating around the property - sun beds, breakfast table with view of the pool, seats and table up on the balcony with a view down the coast to Rethymon and, best of all, the breeze which blew through the covered shade where we found wonderful sofa chairs and another choice of where to sit to eat - this time next to the enormous barbecue. Many thanks for a great stay and a wonderful way for us to celebrate two big birthdays!
