Villa Christina

I just want to say a big thank you to Miltos, Elena, Christina and the lovely Dimi for making us feel so at home. Nice and chilled already and feel very fortunate. Thank you so very much. Here’s to the rest of our holiday! ❤️ 🙏🥂🥰 Hope Dini recovers well and look forward to saying hi!

I DO NOT RECOMMEND! I want to make a post as an alert to be careful and under no circumstances take accommodation at Villa Christina, Skiathos without booking. I purchased a holiday directly from them in March. 4 families with 7 children between 1-12 years old, who were left, as it were, with their eyes in the sun the day before the holiday when the owner said that unfortunately he could no longer accept us because he had some problems with the boilers. 0 empathy especially since we were also with small children. He told us that he gave us other options to help us: an accommodation 3 times more expensive and another where they did not accept us with children and that was it for tomorrow. I spoke to a Romanian who worked in Skiathos in tourism and she said that they are known for such practices. They take your money, they use them, then they say that they can no longer accept you because they sublet at a higher price. He very angrily told me that he would give us our money back and I told him that's not how it works, we also have plane tickets, rented cars and he said that it's none of his business and then hung up on me. So avoid as much as you can or take it through booking. I don't recommend it!!!

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

Fairly basic self catering accommodation, but far outweighed by the welcoming and very helpful staff. A great shout out for Eleni and Theo, where nothing was too much trouble. Issue with the bed was resolved very quickly. Great relaxed bar/pool area. Rooms were very clean with very good daily room service. Quiet location, which is very clear in the accommodation information, so a car is very helpful. I would highly recommend and will definately return.

What a lovely quiet retreat with a very personal touch. Elena and her colleagues work so very hard and are very accommodating. We did take my 82 year old mum, so felt it necessary to hire a car, although we knew that Villa Christina was fairly remote prior to booking. The bedding, towels etc were very clean and the gardens were beautifully kept. The pool bar and food served was good. All in all a lovely 10 night stay. Elema, if you get to see this I haven’t divorced my husband 🤣🤣 if you know you know! Mandy, Trev & Pam :)

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.
