Having been on a large family villa holiday in Maleme the week before, moving to a smaller villa was expected to be a bit of a challenge. However, Christina 1 was excellent for a reduced number of 6 with adequate bedroom and bathroom options and a great outdoor space for swimming, play and eating. A quiet village off the beaten track was excellent with a local sore which we used frequently and a good taverna next door serving good food. All in all a very good experience and thanks to Eliza for meeting us, showing us the way and the extensive information.

Ein altes in allem gelungener Urlaub

Es war ein sehr schöner Urlaub auf dem Land. Am Flughafen wurden wir herzlich empfangen und ein guter Mittelklassewagen stand auch schon bereit. Wir haben ihn beim Vermieter gebucht zu einem sehr guten Preis. Billiger geht nicht. Keine Selbstbeteiligung und Vollkasko. Alle km frei. In der Villa stand alles was man für ein leckeres Frühstück braucht. Auch eine Flasche Wein für den Abend Am nächsten Tag kam Adonis mit einer Kollegin vorbei um uns die Sehenswürdigkeiten und die schönsten Strände, auf der Karte zu zeigen. Wir bekamen noch 1,5 Liter Raki aus eigener Herstellung. Das war der beste Schnaps den ich je getrunken habe. Das Wetter war super, der Pool wurde täglich von uns genutzt. Da es nur Hotbird Satelitten Fernsehen gibt, hat Adonis uns Netflix installiert. Deutsches Fernsehen haben wir dann über Internet gesehen. Wir haben nichts vermisst, Preis Leistung hat gestimmt. Vielleicht Dank für diesen unvergesslichen Urlaub.

Many thanks for your review Brian and we really appreciate it, we consider the distance to Heraklion very short, considering how far it is from the noise of the city, and it is one of the qualities our guests usually like. I wish to thank you for staying with us and we hope that our advertisement was precise regarding the expectations of our potential guests. In any case we thank you for being kind to us and we really hope that on another occasion our villa will be suitable. Kind regards Adonis Paspalakis

Location agréable, service parfait

Location agréable située dans les hauteurs dans un village sympathique et calme, a 20 minutes des voies rapides vers l'ouest, l'est et le sud. Bon accueil et réactivité des propriétaires. Parfait pour des vacances en famille et la visite de la crête.

Experience village life

The staff (Adonis, Giorgos and Elizabeth) were wonderful. Very accessible and helpful with everything we wanted including escorting each arriving group from the the airport upon arrival. We rented our cars from them also which made it easy for us. We had 7 adults and 3 kids in our party. The villa is in the village of Pentamodi where you have such beauty surrounding you, including views of the olive and grape vineyards that will take your breath away. George,s restaurant became our nightly habit for wonderful food at great prices and Georgina’s store took care of the things we needed for the house including local wine. There are other villas that can be rented from Adonis if you need more room. The area is centrally located for travel all over the island. Above all the Cretan people are the most hospitable people I have ever encountered. You experience ancient, old and modern Crete at the same time. It’s very safe here and there is much to experience in the area including a monastery nearby, you might be out walking and find yourself in the middle of a sheep herd, Earino restaurant is within minutes drive and so much more. We would definitely stay here again.

Excellent séjour

Très bon accueil à la villa Christina 1, Lisa a été tres disponible, parle très bien le francais et son panier de bienvenue était très agréable. Un interlocuteur passait plusieurs fois par semaine pour entretenir la maison et également s'assurer que tout se passe bien. La villa est exactement comme sur les photos: Intérieur, jardin et piscine impeccables. Le ménage, draps ( lits faits)et serviettes de toilettes changés très régulièrement: très appréciable. De plus, un petit commerce qui ne paie pas de mine se trouve à 2 pas où l'on peut trouver nourriture et fournitures essentielles à des prix modiques et le cadre est particulièrement calme de jour comme de nuit. La situation de la maison est parfaite car à 20 mn d'Heraklion, proche de tout, les visites à l'est et au sud sont facilement possibles. Nous sommes ravis de notre séjour et reviendrons peut être une prochaine fois dans cette villa.

Amazing holiday

From start to finish our holiday was amazing. There was 6 adults and 2 children and we fit perfectly into the villa. When we arrive late evening George had provided us with a welcome pack for breakfast in the morning this was really helpful. We hired 2 cars from zakros tours to get us about the island. George told us of places that might interest us. On the Tuesday it was my little girls 3rd birthday and when we arrived home in the evening there was a present and ballon waiting outside from the owners of the villa. It was these little touches that made our holiday. The village is gorgeous and the little tavern in the village is where we ate most nights which served amazing Greek food. We will definitely be returning for another fab family holiday.

Perfect for our needs

Just spent a fortnight at this great villa up in the hills above Heraklion. Villa has everything you could want for a great holiday. When we were there we alternated between days at the beach, the water park in Hersonissos and the pool! It's about 15mins by car to the tourist centre at Ammadouro along with its big Carrefour supermarket and a Lidl around the corner. Adonis, Manolis and Giorgios were great in giving us tips of where to go and what to do and can get you a good discount at the water park. We also hired the car from them as they offered us the best price and it is essential if you rent this property. Nicely situated in a quite village (although there is a very convenient shop) we were able to go to both north and south coast beaches (although the south coast is about 1 hr away). There is a cleaner who comes every couple of days and is brilliant. All in all, well located, well equipped and a real find. Very tempted for next year!

I can say some things for sure about our residence in Christina. The distinctive quality of the residence as such and the perfect positioning of the village in the countryside are competitive advantages. We are talking about the place to be walking on the mountain and the countryside, exploring the pure Cretian Pentamodi village character, or just enjoying the sunshine all day in the relaxing wonderful garden by the pool, are just a few of the choices we explored. And of course you are close enough to Heraclion and just a few minutes from the main road to everywhere. The kids were really excited with all the facilities and the games by the pool. Adonis is also a big value for Christina Villas, whatever you need, in the best manners you get it right away. Real mediterranean hospitality. ?t all really felt beautiful... we all looking forward for our next visit to Crete and most of all Pendamodi atmosphere.Aurevoir!
