General Information
Villa Christina is a spacious villa with a large pool and perfectly located for easy access to local amenities; particularly advantageous for those who prefer not to hire a car. Situated very close to the popular village of Plaka with tavernas, shops and the beach all in walking distance.
Ground Floor
The ground floor comprises of a very spacious, air-conditioned, open plan living area which leads out on to a covered terrace overlooking the pool and colourful garden. The terrace is furnished with a table and 6 chairs; perfect for al fresco dining whilst making the most of those fabulous views. Access to the pool terrace and garden is by a wrought iron set of steps from this terrace.
The lounge area has two sofas, coffee table and a TV/DVD for all your entertainment needs. To the rear of the open plan layout is a decent sized kitchen (see amenities list) and a table and 6 chairs so guests can dine indoors too, if desired.
There are two steps leading to the air-conditioned twin bedroom and separate shower room on this floor. The well furnished bedroom has plenty of wardrobe and drawer space together with bedside cabinets, a dressing table and lamps. For convenience for those guests occupying this bedroom and also access from the living areas/outdoor areas, is a large shower room with separate walk-in shower, wc and wash basin.
First Floor
On the first floor you will find the two remaining air-conditioned bedrooms, one twin and one double which share the family bathroom. Both bedrooms are amply furnished similar to the ground floor bedroom and each have access to a furnished balcony; the twin room has a side sea view and views to the village whereas the double bedroom has a balcony with glass ballustrade with views overlooking the pool, garden and spectacular Souda Bay beyond. A special place to sit for an evening drink watching the fabulous sunsets in this area of Crete.
The family bathroom has a bath with shower over, wc and vanity handbasin.
External Areas
Despite being close to the village, the villa is set within a good sized gated plot surrounded by a beautifully planted garden with a lawned area. The large 50m2 private swimming pool has plenty of sunbathing terraces for guests to have their own space and umbrellas are provided for shade during the heat of the day. The owners provide an outdoor table tennis table (covered) for those feeling a little more energetic.

Booking Information
Change-over days are totally flexible but are subject to existing bookings taken either side. If a booking means that the owner would be left with too many "void" days we might not be able to accept it. If this is the case we will contact you without delay to discuss alternatives.
Payment can be made by bank transfer to our sterling account or by debit or credit card (Mastercard or Visa) only.
Our travel information provides details of how to get to Crete including flights to both Chania and Heraklion airports.
If you want to book, please use the availability chart above to check your dates, you can then either book on-line, email or call us on 0330 111 0061.
Please note: although the calendars show live availability and you can book on-line, please note that your booking is not confirmed until we have issued a confirmation of booking. You may prefer not to book your flights until we have confirmed the booking.
Low Occupancy Discounts - unfortunately the online booking system automatically calculates the single couple or small party discount based on the number of people entered onto the booking form and the start day of your rental. There are 2 problems with this:-
a) If you are 2 people but not a single couple, or 3 or 4 people but not 2 + 1 or 2 + 2, the system will have automatically calculated a discount when it is not due. Please make use of the "additional notes" box on the booking form to tell us and we will adjust the price accordingly before we confirm your booking.
b) If your rental overlaps from a discounted period to a non-discounted one (or vice versa), the discount calculated will be wrong. In these cases we have to make the adjustment manually. You can still book on-line but we will need to change the price on receipt of your booking request. If the price increases we will contact you to confirm the new price before we confirm your booking and take your deposit.
Please don't let either of these issues put you off making a booking. The discounts are genuine and our villa owners welcome couples and smaller parties out of high season. We just can't fine tune the booking system to account for these 2 circumstances - sorry.
