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!

Great stay at Villa Kristina

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!

An excellent 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.

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!!

Don't Freeze in Greece

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

Kefalas Villa

Beautiful villa with stunning views. After an early hours arrival it was fab to wake up to Greek sunshine, a cooling breeze and essentials in the fridge. The villa was immaculate and the many outdoor seating areas allowed family members shade throughout the day. The village of Kefalas was a pleasant 10 minute stroll and contained two small supermarkets and an amazing Taverna- Metepizi. We ate there on several occasions and could not fault the food and helpful owners. Nearest beaches were Almyrida- thin sandy beach but lovely shallow calm water. We ate there a couple of evenings on the shore which was most pleasant. Georgioupolis is bigger and busier and the water is more choppy. Overall we loved the villa and its location but the roads up to Kefalas are quite winding in places - which you need to get use to. Thank you to Frank and Christine for their help and advice .

Cretan Gem

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!

V. Kristina - where better to unwind & reconnect?

We refilled our empty nest at Villa Kristina for a 10 day vacation with our 3 'kids' (25, 23, 19). The villa is very well appointed and more than adequate for a family of 5 adults. We were especially grateful for its peaceful location to come back to after the hustle and bustle of the surrounding attractions. The various outdoor seating/eating areas around the villa are a great idea as is the outdoor BBQ/oven. The facilities in the village are limited but adequate, and one couldn't wish for a better family-run taverna than Meterizi. The small taverna at Ombrogialos some 10 minutes from the villa by car is also a must-visit - the best fresh seafood we had during the trip. We also greatly enjoyed the beach near Pirgos that was recommended by Frank and Christine in their villa file. In addition to the local interests in Chania, Kalyves and Giorgioupoli we took full day trips to Knossos and the Samaria Gorge that were well worth the effort. The latter is not for the faint-hearted when its pushing 35C in the shade! Christine and Frank couldn't do enough to ensure the booking process and vacation itself went as smoothly as possible with all questions being answered very promptly. We would have no hesitation in recommending Villa Kristina to family and friends if looking for a quality property in a peaceful location in a wonderful part of the world. Claire & Allan S.

Traumhafte Villa in ruhiger Lage

Die Villa Kristina liegt in ruhiger Lage am Berg mit einem schönen Blick aufs Meer und den Sonnenaufgang. Der Ort Kefalas ist klein, verfügt über gemütliche Tavernen und zwei Minimärkte und ist in ca 15 Gehminuten zu erreichen. Die Villa ist komfortabel ausgestattet. Waschmaschine, Spülmaschine etc. und auch Geschirr ist reichlich vorhanden. In den drei Schlafzimmern gibt es große Schränke, um alles gut zu verstauen und auch die Betten sind äußerst bequem. Der Außenbereich ist abwechslungsreich gestaltet. Es gibt einen großen Pool mit Sonnenliegen und Schirmen sowie mehrere überdachte und sonnengeschützte Sitzplätze. Die Outdoorküche mit Grill, Pizzaofen. Spülbecken und großem Sitzbereich ist perfekt für ein gemütliches Abendessen. Zur Einstimmung auf unseren Urlaub erhielten wir von Gastgeberin Stella vorab sehr viele Informationen (empfehlenswerte Tavernen, Ausflugstips, nützliche Allgemeinfos). Auch während unseres Aufenthaltes war sie jederzeit ansprechbar und sehr bemüht, uns einen perfekten Aufenthalt zu bieten. Wir haben uns in der Villa Kristina sehr wohl gefühlt und einen wundervollen Irlaub verbracht. Herzlichen Dank :-)

Sehr schöne Villa in traumhafter Lage

Wir sind als 5-köpfige Familie mit 3 Kindern im Alter von 16-20 Jahren hier im August 2021 gewesen. Die Villa liegt in dem kleinen Ort Kefalas, in dem es einige Ferienhäuser gibt und der am oberen Ende und Hang der Steilküste westlich von Georgioupolis liegt. Daher hat das Ferienhaus, das in erster Reihe am Hang liegt, einen traumhaften Blick über das Meer bis nach Rethymnon mit einem ebenso traumhaften Sonnenaufgang über dem Meer. Die Villa ist mit 3 Schlafzimmern, zwei Bädern und einem Wohnesszimmerbereich mit Küche ausgestattet. Die Räumlichkeiten sind eher eng aber völlig ausreichend und in der Ausstattung einschließlich Klimaanlagen in den Zimmern fehlt es an nichts. Für ein besseres Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis wären unsere Wünsche noch eine zeitgemäßere Kaffeeautomatvariante als die vorhandene klassische Filtermaschine und in den Schlafzimmern wären Moskitonetze an den Fenstern / Türen noch praktisch gewesen. Das WLAN ist nicht super schnell aber an einigen Stellen im 1. Stock gibt es auch gutes 4G/LTE. Im Freien befinden sich mehrere Esstische mit Überdachung oder natürlicher Beschattung, was sehr schön ist und einen wunderbaren, großen Pool mit Blick auf das Meer. Die Villa wird von einer englischen Kommunity regelmäßig betreut, der Pool regelmäßig gepflegt und nach einer Woche erfolgte eine Zwischenreinigung. In Kefalas befinden sich in Laufweite ein paar typische, urtümliche Restaurants und zwei kleine Supermärkte. Die Fahrt nach Georgioupolis dauert ca. 15min. Nach Chania oder Rethymnon sind es etwas weniger als 1 Stunde, so dass die Sehenswürdigkeiten im Westen und Südwesten Kretas alle gut erreicht werden können. Insgesamt waren wir sehr zufrieden und haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

Wunderbare Villa auf Kreta

Wir haben eine wunderbare Woche in der Villa Kristina verbracht. Das Haus ist hervorragend ausgestattet, mit Spülmaschine und Waschmaschine, zwei Bädern und Schlafzimmern mit sehr guten Matrazen. Der wunderschöne Pool war der Hit bei unseren Kindern und uns, da er gross genug zum Schwimmen war. Der gesamte Aussenbereich ist wunderschön angelegt und bietet jede Menge Rückzugsmöglichkeiten und ausreichend Schatten zu jeder Tageszeit. Wer dem Trubel der Touristenhotels entkommen möchte is hier genau richtig. Das morgendliche Schwimmen in der nahegelegenen Bucht war unser tägliches Highlight. Die Kommunikation mit Stella, der Vermieterin war vorbildlich.
