Villa Christina

This is Greek hospitality! Experienced so many times in Greece but never fails to make my heart sing. They know how to make you feel like your staying with relatives!! The accommodation, pool and gardens are spotless, the service is excellent. Lovely area to relax day and night. As a solo traveller you may need to get a taxi after dark which is very easy to do around 10-20 Euros. Maybe not the easiest place for this reason. The walk to the nearest beach would not suit anyone who is not able to do a woody path or get the bus and then 10-15 mins along the road. It’s authentic and wonderful xx

Villa Christina is nestled up In the hills in pine trees - the location is lovely and quiet. The hosts were welcoming, attentive and good fun. Any little issues were immediately resolved without fuss. The gardens are immaculate and tended regularly. The rooms are a little tired but the cleaning was superb and towels changed very frequently. The swimming pool is lovely and clean and a chilled relaxing space - plenty of sun beds and bar well stocked and owner was very accommodating with our changing drinks order. … we’d hired a car (recommended) so didn’t eat at the hote much but can definately recommend the chicken club, pizza (lovely thin base) agot to mention eleni’s cheesecake is to die for (we had it every night when we got back in) . Thanks for a lovely holiday and we’d definately recommend xxx

This hotel is in a more remote yet lovely location. 12 minute walk up hill / 7 minute downhill to main road where you'll find bus stop no. 13 that takes you to Skiathos town, Koukanaries, or anywhere along that stretch. Beautiful setting, large well maintained gardens. Plenty of sunbeds but wasn't too busy so can't say whether the number of sunbeds would be an issue in summer. Food was ok the times we ate there; toasties, special omelette, pancakes, pizza etc. is all that we had so I can't comment on the other menu items. No ice-cream and therefore no milkshakes either which was a shame given we had a child with us and the weather was definitely warm enough to warrant this, especially as stayed on menu they had this. Rooms were clean and maintained daily by frieny housekeeping staff. The beds were hard and not very comfortable but we have experienced the same at other hotels in Greece. Rooms could do with an overhaul / updating but suited us and we only used as a base. The room we had, offered a small fridge with freezer compartment, kettle, cups and spoons (we were room only). We hired a jeep via the apartment but this was a battered tin can, old, rusty (rust flakes kept falling on us), damp stains on the roof, speedometer didn't work, engine light on and off, indicators were temperamental and it wasn't cheap so I'd recommend finding your own vehicle rental or use the bus as it's cheap and frequent (if the walk to it isn't sn issue for you). Dio and Elena were nice and attentive when we needed them. Left us in peace rather than being overly attentive and allowed us to simply enjoy our holiday at our pace. Medium sized pool but was very cold at this time of year so we barely used it. Could have done with a clean as quite a bit of debris at the bottom amd on the steps (it had been pretty windy on some days so am sure this is why). Sunbeds were fixed when broken and comfortable cushions on them. Gardens were immaculate. All in all we had a lovely hiday and would stay here again.

Villa Christina what can we say!, we stayed here last June 2023 for one week, my good lady wife and I and what an amazing week we had but just wasn’t long enough, and so booked again but this time for 2 weeks June/July 2024. After a fantastic Flight in from Manchester and the exciting landing into Skiathos JSI we were collected in the minibus and driven up our favourite road leading to Villa Cristina, where we received the most lovely welcome from Miltos, Elena, Dio & the rest of the Villa Christina family, we were even honoured to meet the family Mum this time and she was lovely too. This beautiful home is a true diamond, stunning well-kept grounds, lawns & gardens, immaculate pool area & bar where the wonderful Dio & Miltos are on hand to serve up your favourite refreshing drinks (ours is the Iced Mythos hmm) and the superb restaurant where the lovely Elena prepares home cooked delights served freshly on a daily basis, her food is gorgeous!. We always stay in the same room as we love it and has everything that you require for self-catering but no need to be cooking in 38 degrees every day when there are lovely snacks and home cooked meals available all day pool side 😊. The rooms are cleaned daily by the fantastic and polite house-keeping staff, left in immaculate condition daily THANK YOU. The Villa is set in a beautiful location surrounded by pine forests and walks. The little walk down the road to the bus stop is lovely offering superb view points for pictures and a beer break, the bus stop offers busses daily that will take you to Skiathos and anywhere else that you fancy an adventure to, there is a bus stop opposite this one too which will take you the opposite way around the island, easy to use, cheap and great fun albeit they can get busy. There are two main shops close enough to Villa Christina, one opposite the bus stop and one down the road towards kanapitsa beach and both offer everything that you may need. Skiathos town is brilliant and offers plenty of shops, restaurants, boat trips and more importantly culture. My wife and I are out most days until late as we love to adventure and the location of Villa Christina is perfect as there are at least 5 beaches nearby and you always have the option to rent a car or quad bike but we love getting out on foot, taking care for the huge black ants the size of chihuahuas lol ! – Dropping the towels down on the sand for a few hours, swimming in the beautiful calm sea, maybe an Ouzo at the beach bars then adventuring a little further, the Sunset at Vromolimnos beach is amazing too then a steady walk up the pine path back to Villa Christina for a Mythos or Ouzo or three and a chat with the family 😊 then settle on the balcony listening to the owls and watching the stars with a glass of wine!. We love this place, it’s a beautiful Gem run by lovely people and kept beautiful through their hard work, THANK YOU all, catch up next June 2025 – Dan & Lisa XXXXX Yamas!

Hi all, our second visit to Villa Cristina as came for the week in 2023/June but simply wasn’t enough so came back this June/July 2024 for two weeks, what a wonderful welcome back too from Miltos, Elena, Dio, Cristina and the rest of the fantastic staff at Cristina, and this time privileged to meet Mum who is beautiful ❤️. This place is wonderful, the island itself has amazing walks, beaches, places to eat and more importantly Greek people who we find truly lovely ❤️. The grounds of Cristina are immaculate, pool spotlessly clean and beautifully positioned alongside the bar & restaurant where you can enjoy beautiful home cooked food by the lovely Elena in the wonderful surroundings of this forest gem, Miltos & Dio always ready to serve up fresh ice cold Mythos or anything you like from the fantastic poolside bar, music played throughout the day at a relaxing chilled out volume accompanied by great sociable staff. The room is our little hidden getaway and we adore it thanks Miltos ❤️☀️, sitting on our terrace listening to the Greek Owls moving through the forest, people laughing & having fun at the bar & restaurant and the sounds of the family owners busying themselves in their home, we just love it, the house keeping staff are AMAZING & friendly and clean the rooms daily to a very high standard THANK YOU, beaches so close, shops (not lots) but plenty for essentials, the bus service is fab and we love it, can get busy but no journey on this little island is too far so it’s fine, Skiathos town is a busy little one and full of culture, food, shops and life experiences, the live Greek music at the square in the town is amazing, beautiful harbour, airport runway taverna and sea side restaurants are in abundance. Villa Cristina is one that we wanted to keep our little secret but we have to review, Miltos & family including ALL staff THANK YOU & see you June 2025 we love you all ❤️❤️🏝️ Dan & Lisa xxxx
