Villa Christini is just as lovely as shown in the pictures, and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to relax away from the busy coast and still enjoining a strategic position to visit the main attractions (Balos, Elafonissi and Falasarna are all doable in a day trip, Chania airport is ~1 hour by car).
The feeling is to be far from cities even though the coast is just a few minutes away: tasty seasonal fruits growing in the court yard, wonderful view on the mountains, silence all around except for cocks singing at sunset... Definitely a different experience than the cold modern apartments for rent in Kissamos or Chania.
But what was really a plus for us was the incredible kindness and hospitality of Katerina during the whole stay.
Just to mention a few examples: we checked in very late (around midnight) and she still spent a good half an hour to introduce us to the villa and provide lot of suggestions for the stay. We found the fridge and kitchen full of local goods (amazing tomatoes, grapes, olives, olive oil and wine - all produced by the owners themselves). We had dinner in a restaurant in Kissamos and found that Katerina had called the owner in advance to advise him about our visit and paid for our drinks!
All in all, it was a shame that we could stay for 4 days only, but the change of lifestyle was so fulfilling that we felt like staying there for weeks.
Highly recommended!!
