“Traditional stay in Koutsounari”

We liked the traditional rooms which were quite big and clean. We also enjoyed the outside area of the rooms. Staff were helpful, we came around 21.00 for checkin, however they stayed for us. It was 10 mins walk or 3-5 mins of drive to the beach.

“Great Place to get away from tourist hotspots and relax”

Well refurbished traditional cottage with a great view over the sea and the city center. Very calm neighbourhood with nice and supportive landlord. Ideal to relax and enjoy peaceful evenings on the terrace for a sundowner. Short driving distance to small and less crowded beaches

Authentic decor. Beautiful views. Good communications with owners.

The place is very special, the meal feels like getting home together however the hostess is a special woman.

“magic !”

individual terrace with a magnificent view the interior design the host !

“Relaxing and cozy.”

The cleanliness, the warm welcome and tips from the manager, and the details and care in the room. The cottages are quite private and peaceful, with a stunning view towards the sea.

“Wonderful!”

We had a wonderful 7-night stay at the Koutsounari Traditional Cottages, it couldn't have been more perfect! The cottages are managed by Ioanna, a charming host who runs the property with love and dedication. She warmly welcomed us, serving homemade lemonade during check-in while providing us with a list of recommendations for eating out and sightseeing in the area. We tried almost all the tavernas she suggested and enjoyed each one of them. The cottage, exemplifying traditional local architecture, has been beautifully restored with attention to every detail. It offers everything you need, including comfortable beds, a small but well-equipped kitchen, and even a lovely set of welcoming gifts and complimentary Korres toiletries in the bathroom. The highlight is the stunning private terrace that overlooks the Libyan Sea, making you want to stay there forever! If you appreciate local tradition and seek a more unique and sustainable experience compared to a typical hotel room, you will likely love this super charming accommodation as much as we did. Thank you, Ioanna, and thank you, Crete, for a wonderful time!

Great traditional aura. The entire facility was made of stone and gave a great "old" feeling.

“We would stay here again”

Rustic cottages but very well set up both inside and outside

We had a really great time at Koutsounari Traditional Cottages. The apartment was really grand for us four people. The view was amazing and the staff really helpful. We enjoyed our time there

“Très charmant ❤️!”

Charming place to spend few days away from the crowd. Stylish restauration of traditional cottages, yet kept simple, and with all necessary comfort to feel welcome and well taken care of. We had cottage ‘Mikro’ with a fabulous view over the sea and olive trees. Kitchen small, albeit very well equipped. Korres toiletries in the bathroom (appreciated). Ioanna, the efficient and equally charming manager, gives soul to the place and share her recommendations of restaurants and things to see - she is a fine connoisseur of the region. ❤️ If you have few days to spare, stay there!

“Very nice and memorable stay!”

Koutsounari Cottages are great for a special kind of getaway that will give you calm and peace of mind. The cottage was very atmospheric and giving you a glimpse to old times, yet has all the modern amenities you need. It is also tastefully decorated with some Greek hints and little pieces of art. The owner Ioanna is a very warm and welcoming person with genuine interest in you as guests and can give you lots of tips for the region. She showed us around the cosy cottage and had water and a delicious homemade marmelade ready in our fridge :-) We also enjoyed exploring unspoilt beaches on the beautiful south-Cretan coast.

“cottage greco fantastico”

the view and the style of the cottage

“Charming and quiet boutique cottages to relax in while exploring southern Crete.”

This was one of the most perfect little pieces of paradise on Crete. Ioanna was lovely to us and her staff was incredibly helpful. This is a great location for moving around this region and very quiet. The terraces and gardens were perfect for relaxing and our kiddos loved running around. The kitchens are very well equipped and the bathrooms are very nice. If there were breakfast offered this place would rate an 11/10, would definitely be happy to pay extra for this service. We loved sitting outside on the terrace to eat breakfast and inside at night to hang out when it got chilly. This is truly a magical place to stay in Crete with real charm and a great host.

Wonderfull cottage, fantastic view, exactly as you can see on the pictures. Ioanna gives great tips and feels very responsible. We had a great time!

“Beautiful!”

The place looks already amazing on the pictures but is even better in reality. We had a very warm welcome from Ionna who told us about places to see, eat and explore. I don't think you could do any better. The apartment has a wonderful terrace. It's a beautifully renovated traditional cottage house with everything you could wish for incl. fresh flowers, delicious welcome presents and a very lovely shower. Unfortunately, we haven't tried the pool, there were just too many other great things to do... We will definitely come back, thanks so much. Jess & Jarek

Everything - Very nice cotage, great seaview - perfect location for Holydays

“A beautifully restored village cottage with fab view”

The sea view cottage was so simply and beautifully decorated inside - and the terrace was a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the view. Having use of the pretty hotel pool (a short drive uphill) was a godsend when the temperature got to the high 30s!

I traveled with my partner and we both loved the cottage, which was located in the village, in the middle of an olive tree plantation, which gave an even more authentic experience. We had the cottage with annex, which means a living room, that can be used as an extra bedroom and a main bedroom (my boyfriend says the pillows were one of the best he has slept on in hotels). The interior design was really well thought out, with keen attention to details. We had a nice private proch were we could relax and enjoy the coffee we made with the Nesspresso machine. Our host, Ioanna, is one of the most professional and nicest hosts we've ever had. She presented the area, told us wich places to visit and which ones to avoid. The restaurants she recommended had delicious food and fair prices as well as excellent views. We totally recommend this location and definitely will return at some point.

“Love(d) the traditional cottage 🥰”

We loved the🇬🇷 hospitality (thank you, ευχαριστώ Ioanna), the accommodation, the atmosphere, the view, the cats… The cottage was clean, comfortable and authentic with a perfect working airconditioning 🙌🏻. We had some great tips from Ioanna about the region and local restaurants. It was a special holiday at a special place🥰
