The Villa has been certified with the Seal of Approval, a 300’ Criteria Rating, for the unique design, innovation, individual quality & inspiring offerings only with ThinkVilla.

Christina Villa II is located in the picturesque village of Sfakaki, a beautiful seaside resort. The retreat is part of a holiday complex consisting of 3 independent villas, each with its own private pool. In Villa Christina II guests can enjoy a peaceful holiday, relax and enjoy the well known greek sun and sea all day long! The wonderful, long, sandy beach and a variety of shops are within hand’s reach, just 300 to 600 meters away! In the village guests can find a mini market, a few restaurants and tavernas and a pizzeria! Furthermore, in a 5 minute drive you can find many beach bars, seaside cafes and restaurants as well as a few night clubs and bars. Sfakaki is ideally located, just 10 minutes away from Rethymno town and it’s a great base if you want to explore the nearby beaches or go sightseeing! However, if you don’t feel like touring, you can sit and rest on the balconies, just gazing at the view or relax by the pool, among roses and lawn covered areas and sunbathe.

Layout
Exterior
Christina Villa II features a great private swimming pool of 32 sq. m. and 1.5 meters deep, a wonderful sunbathing terrace equipped with sun beds and umbrellas and a lovely lawn covered terrace with trees and flowers, as well as barbecue facilities! Above the pool area there is a large veranda with a view to the pool that has a shaded dining area where you can sit and enjoy your morning coffee or lunch, while watching your children playing in the lawn area right underneath.

Bonus - Family Friendly:

Designed for ultimate play time, a shared playground (between the Villas of the complex) is also available outdoors for our younger guests, to inspire adventure and togetherness.


Interior
The Villa can accommodate up to 6 guests in its 3 bedrooms. The villa sends out a sense of warmth, which is perceived by the carefully selected, modern and comfortable furniture, the simple and discreet decoration, the meticulous selection of materials (marble floors and wooden furniture) and the nice open plan design. An additional guest can be accommodated on a folding bed. The maximum capacity is 7 guests.

On the ground floor guests can find a spacious living room with a smart 55" TV and an open fireplace, creating a homely atmosphere and making it the perfect place for you and your family to enjoy some moments of relaxation.

Finally on this level you will find a beautifully designed bathroom with shower cabin (boasting a hydromassage column) where you can have a nice and refreshing shower after a long day of adventure.

All bedrooms offer high quality mattresses and are very airy and bright and have doors leading to private balconies with patio furniture. You can sit there and enjoy the surrounding view as well as the countryside during the day or relax and gaze at the nicely designed and lighted gardens during the night and the clear sky full of stars!

Location Overview :

Villas Christina are located in the picturesque village of Sfakaki which in recent years has evolved into a very popular seaside resort, as it combines all the features for both vacations and permanent accommodation.

The village has a wonderful, long, sandy beach, just 5 minutes walking from the villa, which is famous for the fact it is chosen by Caretta Caretta Sea turtle, which is an endangered species, for its reproduction. The beach is also ideal for sunbathing, swimming and water sports! Enjoy the well known greek sun and sea all day long!

Sfakaki is special specifically for another reason too: its has a variety of shops such as a super market, a bakery and a pharmacy, that are within hand’s reach, making ideal for a car free holiday!

Additionally, its proximity to the highway, makes it easy to move around and travel almost anywhere in Crete and explore the amazing landscape and beautiful rustic villages! It is only 15 minutes’ drive away from the city of Rethymno and 1 hour (70 Kms) from the International Airport of Heraklion.

Lovely villa in Crete
Villa Christina was perfect for our family holiday. Superbly presented and both Valia and Mr Kostas could not have been more helpful. Secluded private pool was in constant use and the although the rural location suited us a hire car was useful. We hired a 7 seater locally at an excellent price which was used to get to lidl in Rethymno for supplies as the local supermarkets were obviously more expensive. The villa was fully supplied with everything we needed for our party of 7 although we did have to ask for a pair of scissors which were brought to us very quickly. We had a little problem with the hot water too which was also solved immediately. The villa was cleaned twice in our ten day stay and clean sheets and towels also changed. We would definitely recommend this villa to our friends and consider returning in the future.

Fabulous family break
We have just returned from our stay at this lovely property, 2 adults with 3 young children. The house was perfect for us. In a quiet neighbourhood, a few tavernas within walking distance and a great base to explore both the north and south coast beaches. The pool was great and we went in it most days even if we had been out exploring. The house was clean, with great facilities and the cleaning and pool maintenance staff did a great job. The communication before and during our stay was fabulous. Thank you for a fabulous holiday!

Beautiful villa
Villa is beautiful. Large, clean, comfortable. Owner tries to be helpful and is very friendly. He isn't a tour guide, but tries. Valia is very helpful. Kitchen is adequately equipped, but not equipped for full on self catering. BBQ is very good though. Location not brilliant. Rethymno, georgioupolis and lake well worth a visit. South coast beautiful and much less developed. Palm beach is great. Chania, elefanosis both worth a visit. We found a couple of lovely pottery shops in Margaretes, amongst a lot of shops not worth the visit. Our only souvenir shopping.

Nice stay at Villa Cristina
The property is nice , well equiped, spacious and the pool is lovely !!! Mr Kostas was there at our arrival , and was very helpful . The villa is part of a property ,really clean . house keeping was made every 4/5 days . Notes for future guests :You definitely need a car , cause the villa is far away from town or restaurant . And don’t be shy as the garage of the villa is used as the laundry of the property ( so back and forths of workers and housemates). We really eanjiyzd our stay there !
