Excellent Family Vacation Location
The villa was beautiful, clean and in a great location. Christina, the property manager, was a lifesaver! Our grand-baby needed to go to the doctor and she was instrumental in helping us locate one. She was always quick to respond to any questions or needs. The property is located on the beach and within walking distance to many restaurants and shops. I highly recommend Celestine!

Wonderful house in friendly Kolymvari
Wonderful house for the 4 of us. The location was great. Kolymvari is a quiet fishing village with plenty of friendly restaurants on the waterfront, all serving fresh local foods. We loved the house, the pool, the quiet resting areas, and our access to visiting local sites in western Crete, such as Chania, Balos beach, Falarsana beach and Paleochora in the south. We followed Alexandra’s advice and rented a car for the week which made these many areas accessible. We also took a private tour of pretty Chania to orient ourselves early in the week.

Amazing visit!!
The property is outstanding! Clean, modern, and comfortable. The property manager Christina was so nice and helpful. She also has a great shop with locally crafts, goods, and her own handmade jewelry. The owner Alexandra was also super helpful with recommendations and activities. The views are incredible and beach is wonderful. The area has everything you need within walking distance shops, grocery, boat rentals, and restaurants. We would love to come back on next trip to Crete!!

Wonderful Villa and great village near many tavernas
This was a beautiful villa in an amazing location with many tavernas nearby. We were very lucky to have an amazing house manager next door at the adorable souvenir shop.
The layout is great for multigenerational families and we truly felt like locals in this adorable quaint village. The house has many luxury feels with a great kitchen and grill to cook your own meals if you'd like.
The owner and house manager will treat you like family. I highly recommend and will gladly come back again!

Would definitely go again.
Very clean and comfortable. Pool was a joy.
Christina, George and Antonia where so welcoming and helpful it made the holiday very enjoyable and relaxed.
Rang Christina as we left the airport and all went like clockwork.
Village area, supermarkets and restaurants were very welcoming and food was great.
Beach was a bit pebbly but managed to swim in the sea most days and found a relaxing cove 5 mins walk up the road. Just past the monastery.
Ran out of time to play mini golf but had a nice day visiting Chania and another visiting the botanical gardens. A couple of us went to sumara gourge and took in the views, will save the walk for another day.

Lovely villa and Location
We had a lovely holiday at Villa Celestine. The villa was very clean and tidy with a brilliant pool with fantastic views of the beach and sea. Christina and Alexandra were always there when we needed information or help with anything. The location was near the beach and close to many restaurants with good food and friendly staff. The only thing that was missing was mirrors in the bedrooms and maybe it would be safer to have a hand rail on the staircases. We would recommend at stay at this villa.

Very chill holiday
From the first contact I always got quick and help communication from Alexandra. Christina let us into the villa and was also helpful. The villa is lovely and a lot of thought has gone into its construction to be eco friendly. The kitchen is a little small for a large group but with great meals and service at the restaurants close cooking is not super necessary.
The village is small and quiet, just what we wanted. Our trip was in April and it was not at all busy and still a bit chilly and windy. The pool didn't stay very warm because of the wind but we still used it.
I will certainly visit Crete again and would recommend Villa Celestine

Beautifull villa
The villa is beautifull and corresponding to the photos. We had a very nice time there, but we felt it was a bit overpriced.
Below a list of what we loved:
- the swimming pool area and the view. Just have in mind that that the pool is a bit small and shallow for an adult to swim, it is perfect for kids swimming and adults relaxing.
- the bluetooth speaker that we could use also at the roof top :-)
- the WiFi works everywhere in the house
- plenty of cooking equiment and pots to cook
- comfortable beds and pillows
- very comfortable sitting areas in the interior living room, as well as the balcony and the roof top
- beautifull decoration elements
- nice beach right outside the villa with options for coffe and restaurants, as well as Supermarket nearby (car needed)
Below some things that we believe need improvement:
- need a bigger garbage bin or another solution to take care of the garbage. The bin was too small and the closer disposal was 300m away from the house.
- at this price, we would like to have more frequent cleaning.
- when we arrived there was no hot water, this was fixed few hours after.
- there were only 9 forks available, would be nice to have few more for this size of villa.
- the A/C was a not easy to control, but at the end this was not a big issue for us, it may be a problem during very hot days.
Overall we had a great time, thank you!

Perfection! Everything you need to relax and enjoy the wonders of Crete..
Luxurious, well appointed, beautifully designed and decorated, in a quaint setting surrounded by water, mountains, and restaurants. I can’t think of a single complaint, the property has it all, every amenity you could ask for, and Christina is there to help with anything you need. We could have spent our entire time just lounging on the rooftop in the cabana listening to the waves, there is no better spot anywhere nearby as far as we could tell! Everything was as described or better, and from beginning to end the process was easy and we just cannot wait to come back! If you are looking to get away and visit this amazing island, definitely take a look at this villa, you will love it! Leave some dates open for us though!! Thank you for such a memorable trip!

Amazing Everything
The location of this villa is outstanding, right on the sea front with an amazing roof top infinity pool that makes the most of the open sea view behind it.
Everyone involved in this villa thought about every little detail to make guests holidays the best they can be. It's the little details that can make all the difference and they had everything covered.
The pool was heated to 25c, there was wifi on every floor, a smart tv, plenty of towels, regular maid cleaning, a welcome basket, a portable Bluetooth speaker to take anywhere in the villa, 2 bikes to ride around the island, electric shutters on every window for security and light blocking, a safe, plenty of hot water for everyone to have a shower and more and more.
There was about 30 drawers under the TV, that contained anything extra you might need.
Alexandra met us on the first day to check we were settled in OK and helped us with her knowledge of the area.
Amazing hosts and villa, thank you for our fantastic holiday.
Would HIGHLY recommend.

Lyxigt och smakfullt boende
Nybyggd fräsch villa med mycket smakfull inredning. Takterrassen är fantastisk med härlig utsikt, trevliga möbler och en fin infinitypool -med riktigt varmt och härligt vatten. Sovrummen med stora förvaringsskåp och badrummen är till full belåtenhet. Köket med tillhörande allrum jättefint och i anslutning ytterligare terrass med bra gasolgrill.
Vi hade fantastisk service för alla våra behov. Rekommenderar varmt Villans kock som lagade fantastisk mat och med rejäla portioner.
Värdinnan Alexandra med support av Christina och Georgio ska ha en stor eloge att de gjorde denna veckan till en oförglömlig upplevelse.
