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.

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.

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 . ##### Liz B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roger B. 15 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### 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! ##### Roger B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2019 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allan S., UK 30 Jun 2016 #### 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.

Alles entspricht genau der Beschreibung. Ein sehr schöner Pool mit einem traumhaften Blick aufs Meer. Wie beschrieben, sind fußläufig einige Tavernen und kleine Lebensmittelgeschäfte erreichbar. Gastgeberin Stella hat uns mit unzähligen Tipps für Restaurants und Ausflüge versorgt und war bei Fragen jederzeit erreichbar. Wir können diese schöne Villa absolut weiter empfehlen. ##### Anja S.

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. ##### Ulrike S.

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. ##### Michael H.

Das Haus liegt fernab vom Massentourismus in einem malerischen kleinen Dorf. Es hat an nichts gemangelt. Perfekt ausgestattet, super bequeme Betten und ein unvergleichlicher Ausblick. Wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier richtig! Stella hat uns von der ersten Minute an supported und mit Tipps unterstützt. Wenn es ein Problem gab, wurde dieses sofort gelöst. Ich kann gar nicht in Worte fassen, wie wunderbar dieser Urlaub war. Ein großes Danke! Wir kommen wieder! ##### Christian S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea F. 26 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Traum Villa mit Charme Perfektes Obkejt mit außerordentlichem Charme und außergewöhnlicher Betreuung vor und auch während des Urlaubs.

Stella hat uns von Anfang an begleitet und uns tolle Tips gegeben. Sie war ständig für uns ansprechbar, obwohl sie weit entfernt in Rom war. Solch eine Betreuung haben wir trotz vieler Ferienhäuser noch nicht erlebt. Auch der Service vor Ort hat fünf Sterne verdient. Wer individuellen und ruhigen Urlaub mag, ist hier genau richtig. In der nächsten Nähe gibt genügend Möglichkeiten gut zu essen. Chania ist ebenfalls in Reichweite, mehr zu empfehlen ist jedoch aus unserer Sicht Rethymno. ##### Ingo W.
