Short stay for wedding/ birthday.

Me my wife decided to try something different from the usual hotel packages, we were attending our daughter’s wedding and were unsure how many would be in our party, so this seemed ideal, as it sleeps up to seven. Our son and grandson did eventually stay with us. The hosts met us at the airport upon arrival and took us to the hire car I had prebooked through them and led us to the villa. The villa was just as described. The hosts were so helpful and always available on the phone if required. The local taverna does wonderful traditional Greek food and is very welcoming. If you want a relaxing stay, this is ideal. If you want to see more of Crete, as we did, a car is a must. Heraklion is only 20mins car journey and has great shops and an abundance of restaurants to choose from. If we return to Crete, we would stay again. Adonis and Lisa were wonderful, so welcoming and friendly.

Beautiful villa in a stunning location. Loved it!

We had a wonderful 11 nights at Christina 3 villas. The villa itself was perfect for our family of 5, well equipped for everything we needed. The pool and gardens were stunning and we had many days just sunbathing by the pool in the peace and quiet. We loved the fact that it was a very untouristy area and we enjoyed chatting to the locals in the nearby tavernas and eating the delicious (and cheap!) food. A car is definitely needed and we hired one at a great rate through zacross tours. This enabled us to explore the island and spend time at the local beach (Amoudara) which was beautiful with free sunbeds and free parking! The villa owner Adonis and his cousin George were extremely helpful throughout our stay and Adonis even took us for a raki session on our last evening. A perfect holiday and would love to come back one day.

Relaxing holiday where you really feel looked after

Normally when you book a villa for a holiday abroad that is pretty much what you get and if your lucky then its a nice place to say. Christina III is certainly a well appointed villa with all that is required to enjoy you time in Crete. Other reviews have described these facilities perfectly (so I won't simply repeat this) and the village of Pendamodi which has has a small shop and a local taverna meaning that all the fundamentals are within walking distance. As recommended a car is highly desirable so that you can explore that little bit further afield and make the best of your stay. That is the start of where Adonis and all associated with the villa discriminate themselves from other holidays we have been on. Starting from the initial inquiries on the villa and throughout our holiday Adonis was permanently on hand to ensure that everything ran smoothly. We normally have to book a larger car than needed just so we can get the luggage to and from the airport. This time we booked a smaller car with Zakros Tours through Adonis. We were able to do this as we were met at the airport by Lisa in a second car and she shared the load of carrying the luggage with us and showed us where the villa is which is always a plus!. On the way back Adonis exchanged our car for a seven seater people carrier at no extra charge so we could back to the airport with our luggage (another plus of this was that when Adonis brought the car over we could share a raki at the local taverna!). As others have commented the customer service is second to none. On the first night Lisa gave an overview many of the places we could visit and passed on a welcome pack with water, coffee, tea, bread and wine etc. to ensure we weren't short of things until the local shops opened. Giorgos was round regularly to ensure the pool was spotless and to make further recommendations of things to do. When my sister came over for a couple of days Adonis was able to sort an extra car at very late notice as I'd forgotten to allow for the fact that the now 6 of us would not fit in a 5 seater car. So a memorable holiday made all the more relaxing by being looked after by our new friends from Zakros Tours. We will no doubt look to return in the future.

Great holiday and excellent customer service

Christina Villa III is situated in the relatively small village of Pendamodi which is about 15km outside of Heraklion. A car is a must to explore not only the local area but also the island itself. The owners of the 3 Christina villas also organise car rental and excursions through the travel company Zakros Tours. The villa itself has everything you could need for a family holday including all the usual kitchen gadgets like microwave, coffee maker etc. There are 3 good sized bedrooms, 2 of which open onto a shared balcony overlooking the garden and swimming pool. There is a bathroom upstairs which has a shower over a corner bath and WC. A seperate WC is also upstairs. Downstairs there is a utility room which also has a shower and WC as well as housing the washing machine. The lounge/kitchen/dining area is all open plan and has patio doors opening onto a small patio next to the pool area. The pool itself is perfect for a family of 5/6 people and was well maintained as were the gardens. The linen and towels were changed twice a week by a lovely lady from the village who also tidied up and cleaned. The village of Pendamodi has a small shop and a local taverna where you can sip Raki or a beer in the evening and get a meal as well. Now onto the excellent customer service.... We were met at the airport by Lisa who took us to our hire car and allowed us to put some luggage into her own car to take to the villa (we did have 3 teenage/early 20's girls with us, with lots of luggage). Lisa patiently waited for us at every junction so we did not get split up and then when we arrived at the villa proceeded to sit down with us and go through the local area including marking a map up of the best places to visit based on what we were looking for. She then got us a small basket of food, water and milk as we had arrived very late in the evening and all the shops were closed. When it came to return to the airport we were once again met by Lisa who again loaded up her car with some of our luggage. I offered to get a taxi back to the airport with our additional luggage but Adonis and Lisa wouldn't hear of it and insisted on doing it this way. Everytime I spoke to either Adonis, Lisa or Giorgo (not sure of actual spelling) they were very pleasant and helpful while also being very professional. Outstanding customer service and I would highly recommend.
