Koutsounari Traditional Cottages

Really beautiful cottages in a tranquil setting! Surrounded by lovely little tavernas and gorgeous beaches. A fabulous welcome from Ioanna who provided lots of recommendations and helped me settle in right away. Very comfortable bed and kitchen had everything I needed. Made some friends with some local cats. Couldn't have been better.

Our stay at Koutsounari Traditional Cottages was perfect! Host Ioanna was incredibly welcoming, helpful and friendly before we arrived and throughout our week-long stay, recommending restaurants, beaches and sites-- all of which were wonderful. Having traveled nearly 40 years throughout Greece, I will say that very few accommodations and very few hosts match the high level of Koutsounari. Our "Superior" cottage with sea view was spacious and beautifully decorated with traditional furnishings and art. The kitchen included full-size fridge, stove/oven, and coffee-maker, toaster, kettle, and all the dishes, cutlery and cookware we could possibly need. The bed was luxurious with wonderful linens, and the bathroom was large, beautifully-designed and well-thought-out. Housekeeping was perfect and discreet, and we appreciated the outdoor table and chairs with the little private garden. Ioanna knew we were there to adopt a dog and our cottage included a cute little dog bed and food and water bowls! We thoroughly enjoyed the welcome gifts of the local liquor and delicious homemade biscuits and marmalade, as well as our conversations with Ioanna. Each cottage has perfect privacy from the others, the area is very quiet but close to town (car needed), and parking is available. I highly recommend this property and hope to visit again.

An absolute dream! The cottages were rich with history and culture. Views were amazing! It was nice to spend time on this side of the island, quite removed from the touristy West side. I could spend a month working abroad and staying in the cottages - just a wonderful experience. The only downside, not a very walkable area.

An amazing place to stay! Greek tradition tastefully preserved in a very stylish way! The Cottages are spacious, clean and warm , great also for staying in and relaxing ! The location is ideal for excursions to lovely beaches and traditional villages ! The hostesses is also great , always willing to assist! A great place to stay for many days without ever feeling bored!!! Will definitely go back again!!

It was perfect , the cottage and the view were great. Ionna gave us good advice to visit her country. We like Crète a lot. We recommand Koutsounary Cottage. We'll certainly come back when we'll visit Crète next time.

Ioanna the manager made me feel right at home. Beautiful cottage with lots of authentic and carefully chosen details. A feast for the eyes and very beautifully done. I loved it and can only highly recommend a stay in those marvelous cottages. Ioanna also gave me lots of excellent recommendations for exploring the area, very inspiring and suggested superb restaurants. I can highly recommend this place and will come back.
