“the very best of Christchurch-- highest recommendation”

This was an amazing place. Very clean, beautiful rooms, well appointed, and the staff were incredibly friendly and made you feel as though you were at home.

“Up and coming...”

When we arrived in Christchurch- later than expected, the cab driver didn't even know where we were talking about when we told him where we were staying. Upon arrival we were more than please with what we found- the owners were extremely friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was excellent and we were so happy to have found the Villa! We're returning in a month to stay there again because we were so happy with our first visit. I would personally recommend to any of my family/friends so therefore, I confidently write this review for expedia.

“Can't wait to go back”

Free parking, great buffet breakfast, free internet, the room was really nice, it feels like you're in a classic italian villa of the 1800s. Great stay, I will definitely go back in the future.

“Close to Rutherford's lab”

A boutique hotel directly opposite university, now an arts center :( Very central in the historic district. Good local restaurants.Very helpful and welcoming, good continental breakfast. I'd go back,

“A most hospitable stay.”

Great location,comfortable bed,delightful breakfast to be continental and lovely decore a beatiful quiet retreat.They treat you like your family.We were picked up in front of the Villa after setting up guided tours for each day except the last, and spent it walking and seeing the history close by.Hotels can't compare,we had the best time!

“Would stay there again”

Even though this hotel is located in the heart of the city, it was very quiet. The owner and staff were very helpful and friendly. My room was very warm and comfortable (middle of winter). A good range of breakfasts.

“Cozy place to stay”

They almost make you feel you are visiting friends. The villa is cozy, very clean, and classy. Their breakfast is supurb.

“Great room, excellent and friendly service, centrally located.”

Would definitely stay there again; rates were great as we stayed in off season but a very good deal, great service, friendly, and all in all a very pleasant venue.

“Very good location.”

The hotel has very good location where you can walk to all the major attractions.

“Great Classic Villa”

We booked here based on others reviews. The first night we were the only couple. Peter still put out a lavish breakfast of fruits, breads, cereals, meats and cheeses. He makes each individual cup of coffee with his espresso machine. Our room was cozy, clean and the fireplace was a nice touch. The location is perfect if you want to walk to the botanical gardens, museums, or craft center. I highly recommend you try Classic Villas is you want a boutique hotel experience not a big hotel.
