Pluses: Villa Christini is just paradise on Earth - just as wonderful as shown in the pictures, with wonderful views of the mountains, the valley, even the sea from the front veranda, with the additional plus of the sounds of nature and the smells of the garden. You will not hear a car passing or anything really apart from tzitzikia during the day and grasshoppers at night. The house keeps cool even during the hot day and the evening comes with cool temperatures, we never switched on the A/C. The main terrace is just perfect - for meals and relaxation, at any time of the day really, thanks to the shade of the tree and the house, and the additional umbrellas at high noon. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to relax in a perfectly quiet location and enjoy a strategic position to visit the main attractions: Falassarna, Balos, Elafonissi - are all within one hour drive of the house.
Since we visited during the COVID-19 pandemic, we were concerned about cleanliness, but we were relieved to find the house extremely clean, toilets and so on disinfected. We met the cleaner who came once during our stay and she was equipped like a nurse - with full gear including mask and gloves, disposable gown and shoe covers.
While the nature around the house is just perfect, the house provides also perfect comfort in every way - spacious rooms and bathrooms (the room with the single bed may be cramped for two adults when the second single bed is installed. The room was quite small and was just ok with the one bed; we were 2 adults and 2 teenage kids and the place was very generous for the four of us), comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen, extra sheets and covers (you will need them for the cool nights!). Even a scale was made available, for the keen weight watchers. Washing machine, dishwasher were very useful and everything needed for washing was provided. Mosquito nets on all windows and terrace doors, and wooden shades to keep the hot sun away, or for extra darkness for better quality sleep. The garden was also wonderful, full of fruit trees - oranges, lemons, plums, avocados, and so on.
Last but certainly not least, the hosts are extremely welcoming and so kind, it was a pleasure meeting them. They gave us great recommendations for food, tours, and anything we needed. All in all, we enjoyed immensely our 6 night stay and would have really liked to stay longer. We surely hope to come back one day.
Minuses: None for us!
