Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic family villa in quiet location We chose Villa Cristina III for our family holiday, as it was big enough to give our 17-20 year old kids enough space. Having a wonderful pool, under cover grill area, outdoor eating and air conditioning throughout, enabled us to flex with activities and the heat. Located walking distance to local beaches and shops but with easy access to the main road enabling easy access to other beaches and tourist spots. Hire car recommended to maximise enjoyment but the bus route 20 runs to the centre of Rhythmno and is very regular and economic. Hosts are attentive and helpful. Enjoy the wonderful villa. It’s as good as it looks. ##### Rhys M. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derek A. Oct 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent Villa Villa was perfect, ive been booking villas for 25 years now and this was the cleanest ive ever come across. On site representatives were extremely helpful with even the smallest request for information. Pool a little chilly but it was October, same depth throughout so watch the kids. All in all cannot fault the locality restaurants still open however some were on the verge of closing for the season. You will need a car if you want to move out of the village, however good bus service is available locally. But back to the villa, well equipped, aircon in all rooms, clean and everything you require.

Jul 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We've had a wonderful stay at Christina Villa III. the house is great, the garden and pool are super. We are a family of 6 and we all had a great time in this large home.The owner is very friendly and on the day we arrived, there was fresh fruit, water in the fridge and a raki for a warm welcome.The property is well taken care of.(maybe good to inform new guests that in the attic there's a storage and that goes with some disturbance) We would suggest this property to anyone. Beautiful! ##### Petra V.

Only negative was the beds and pillows are very hard. Also not toddler proof a gate on the high terrace would solve that ##### Verified traveller Stayed 28 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter B.

The host were very welcoming and when there was an issue it was resolve very quickly. The pool area was cleaned every day. What more could you ask for. There were shops and Taverns nearby which made life very easy. Just want to say a big thank you to hosts for making our stay brilliant. ##### Peter B.

Fick bra tips på restauranger i Rethymno av värden och vi hade bil så kunde ta oss runt. Testade många olika stränder och även andra utflykter i området. Tavernan i byn var prisvärd och trevlig. Och det fanns mataffär och bageri inom 2 km. ##### sara r. Stayed 8 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerold R.

Sehr gute Kommunikation mit den Vermietern. Das Barbecue ist auf den ersten Blick super einladend - allerdings ist der Rost sehr verrostet und keinerlei (!) Zubehör vorhanden (keine Kohlenzange, Kohlenschaufel o.ä.) - also nett anzusehen, für uns aber leider nicht nutzbar, obwohl wir das gleich zu Beginn dem Vermieter sagten, und natürlich Verbrauchsmaterial wie Grillanzünder und Kohlen selbst gekauft hätten. Wer wirklich grillen möchte, sollte das Haus also eher nicht buchen. In der Küche war keinerlei (!) Grundlebensmittel vorhanden, was wir üblicherweise in Ferienhäusern oder -wohnungen vorfinden: Salz, Pfeffer, Zucker, Alufolie o.ä., Öl, Essig etc. etc., geschweige denn irgendwelche Gewürze - heißt, man muss alles selbst kaufen, auch wenn man zum Kochen für zwei Wochen nur Kleinstmengen verbrauchen kann. Aber das ist in Griechenland vielleicht so, wissen wir nicht. Beim nächsten Mal würden wir eine Grundaussstattung in Kleinstmengen mitbringen. Also einige zunächst ärgerliche Kleinigkeiten, ingesamt aber top. ##### Gerold R. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### GREGORY M.

I have never stayed in such a clean villa, it was cleaned twice during our stay with clean bedding and towels and the outside area including the pool area was cleaned early nearly every morning. Really lovely place to stay. ##### Shane M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### George K. Jan 7, 2019 #### great clean and private villa perfectly shown in the photos.

We (2 bevriende stellen) hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad in dit prachtige huis voor 7 personen. Er waren 3 slaapkamers, 2 badkamers, een grote living met ruime keuken, een groot terras met een trap naar het zwembad. Het huis was goed ingericht en superschoon. De beheerder, Kostas, woont met zijn gezin in het huis aan de overkant. Hij en zijn ouders en 2 broers hebben een familiebedrijf en iedereen werkt mee om de huizen die zij verhuren goed te onderhouden. Het huis was superschoon, er werd om de 4 dagen schoongemaakt, ook het zwembad, terras etc. Ontzettend aardige mensen. Als er iets was, werd dat meteen verholpen. Het strand, de restaurants en supermarkt zijn op loopafstand. En de stad Rethimnon ligt 10 km verderop. Kortom, een aanrader! ##### Loes I.

The villa was nicely located with a handful of good tavernas and shops including a bakery within walking distance. Also within walking distance was a couple of small beaches and the bus stop which had a very good, regular service into the town. The villa itself was extremely clean and serviced regularly by the lovely family. Well equipped with everything you needed, fantastic bbq area and good sized pool. Had a fabulous family holiday and would definitely recommend. Thank you ##### samantha l. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alex C.

This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marita T. Oct 22, 2017 #### Beautiful Villa, everything fine! We (family with kids) enjoyed our stay very much. The house is on a high standard and the owner Costas, who lives next to it, was very attentive and available for any queries when needed. There were two drawbacks: In every room there are rather bright night-lights installed which cannot be turned off - so if you are used to sleep in a completely dark room, it takes a little getting used to it. The cleaning (which is very thorough, basically resetting the house to zero) is only possible at 09 am, so no chance to sleep in at cleaning days - we ended up skipping the cleaning 2 of 3 times and liked it better that way. ##### Marita T.
