Christina Villas is in a great location (center of Crete, near Iraklion and still peaceful and calm). The villa we rented was comfortable and cozy, with all amenities provided. Having a private pool is a definite plus. The host team was exceptionally helpful and pleasant, provided a wealth of useful information and tips, and was very responsive.

Everything was as expected, with the addition of a table-top dishwasher, not in the description. Clean & comfortable. Eliza very helpful.
The property owners/staff could not have been more helpful, including meeting us at the airport to guide us to the property (they also run a hire car business, but we had already booked), helpful advice on places to visit etc, and a welcome pack of essential items. Also (for cleaning fee) allowed us to stay for a few extra hours in neighbouring vacant villa whilst waiting for evening flight on day of departure.
The villa was spacious, with very comfortable beds, air conditioning, balconies, lovely pool/garden and sheltered outdoor seating/table. The kitchen was well equipped, and had items such as toaster and kettle that we have sometimes missed on other holidays. Only thing it did not have was a tin opener (we brought our own).
The location suited us well - a quiet village in the hills, only about 30 mins from Heraklion/Knossos/Beach yet it felt a long way from the hustle and bustle of the main tourist attractions. Mountain views and a refreshing breeze were lovely.
There is a small grocery shop and excellent taverna just round the corner from the villa. Friendly locals, and the village feels l authentic rather than a tourist destination. We noticed that google maps wasn't always reliable for navigation in some of the more rural areas we explored, so I'd suggest a real map as backup (we always got there in the end).
Overall, I would highly recommend Christina Villas, especially the customer care, location, well equipped villas with pools. Good value too.

Wir waren zwei Wochen in dem ursprünglichen kleinen Ort Pentamodi. Die Nähe Heraklions und das viele Orte gut erreichbar sind, machen die zentrale Lage der Christina Villa I zu einem sehr guten Ausgangspunkt. Im Sommer ist die Villa mit ihrem Pool, den beiden Balkonen und der Terrasse hervorragend geeignet. Die Fotos sind sehr großzügig gestaltet worden.
Eliza und ihre Kollegen waren super. Ihre Tipps und die kommunikative Unterstützung waren hilfreich.
Alles in allem können wir die Christina Villa I weiterempfehlen.

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Christina. Located about 25 minutes out of Heraklion, it was the perfect villa for our Family of 4 (2 teenagers), with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bath. It was quiet and relaxing after a long day of visit. We enjoyed the swimming pool.
