Idyllic 2 weeks in southern Crete

This beautiful rustic cottage was ideal for our two week stay in mid May with our daughter and her husband. It’s on a hillside, is very private, has a lovely terrace overlooking the tiny village and the ocean. We had the local beach to ourselves and enjoyed several nearby pristine (and empty) beaches as well. There are excellent family-run tavernas within walking distance and many hikes in stunning nearby gorges. Ioanna welcomed us with homemade jam and biscuits and the local raki liqueur and was attentive to our every need. We could not have asked for a more restful and pleasant experience. Thank you Ioanna!

Charming House mit Seeblick

Kreta ist eine Reise wert. Das Wetter und das Essen sind einmalig zum genießen. Unsere Unterkunft war einfach und landestypisch, sehr sauber und praktisch eingerichtet. Leider war das Grundstück insgesamt sehr klein und durch Straße begrenzt. Das drumherum sollte besser beschrieben werden, ansonsten wird ein freistehendes Haus vermutet. Sehr zu unserer Freude lebten in der Nähe einige Katzen die uns täglich besuchten und regelmäßig Fressen bekamen. Man sollte generell Katzen lieben oder akzeptieren denn davon gibt es mehr als genug. Auf Nachfrage des gegenüberliegenden Hotels konnten wir zum Glück unentgeltlich deren Pool nutzen. Die rumliegenden Tavernen sind großartig. .

Es war sehr sehr schön und ziemlich genau so wie beschrieben. Schöne Restaurants fußläufig erreichbar und auch Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Einziges Manko, der Pool war ca. 400 m entfernt vom Haus was leider so nicht beschrieben wurde. Ansonsten war die Rezeption sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Alles in allem sehr empfehlenswert

Un séjour merveilleux à Koutsounari

Merci à Ionna pour son accueil chaleureux à Koutsounari... la maison traditionnelle crétoise a parfaitement correspondu à nos attentes et à la description qui nous en avait été faite avant le départ. Le village de Koutsounari, typique des villages crétois est un endroit à la fois calme et assez proche de la plage et de la ville Ierapétra Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances dans un endroit magnifique avec du soleil, de la chaleur et de vent... ce qui nous allait fort bien !

séjour très zen dans une petite maison paradisiaque. Vue exceptionnelle de la terrasse.

Très belle déco qui contribue à passer un excellent séjour. C'est extrêmement propre. Très calme. Cela fait beaucoup de bien de se retrouver dans cette ancienne maison de pêcheurs. Tout est resté authentique et en très bon état. 2 salles de bains permettent une indépendance des personnes qui séjournent ensemble. La mer est proche avec une plage très sympa et un bon resto donnant sur la mer. C'est agréable de pouvoir profiter de la piscine à quelques centaines de mètres. La mer étant à 7 minutes en voiture, nous n'y sommes allés qu'une seule fois.

Entzückende Unterkunft

Die Fotos spiegeln die Unterkunft perfekt wieder. Eine wirklich urige, entzückende Location am Berg. Die Terrasse mit Meerblick war idyllisch! Leider gab es starke Windböen zu der Zeit und die Windgeräusche hört man in diesem alten Haus sehr. Nette Strände und Tavernen in wenigen Autominuten in der Nähe- Ioanna hat uns gute Tipps gegeben!!! Die Griechen sind überaus gastfreundlich - wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Schönes Haus für einen super Urlaub

Das liebevoll restaurierte Haus bietet jeden Komfort, den man sich wünschen kann. Wir hatten drei entspannte Wochen und haben die Gastfreundschaft von unserer Gastgeberin sehr genossen. Sie war immer sofort zu erreichen und hat uns jeden Wunsch erfüllen können. Das Haus ist ruhig gelegen mit Meeresblick und den Geruch von Olivenbäumen der Nachbargärten. Den Meltemi haben wir nicht auf dem Schirm gehabt und so war das einige Nächte etwas lauter im Haus (alle Türen und Fenster sind aus Holz und klappern nun mal wie es sich gehört), man gewöhnt sich schnell daran und bekannterweise lässt der Wind sich nicht kontrollieren. Gutes Internet und kein Fernseher da - wunderbar! Wir waren sehr zufrieden und würden wieder nach Koutsounari kommen!

Vielen herzlichen Dank für Ihre wunderbare Bewertung und für Ihre lieben Worte. Es freut mich sehr, dass Sie drei entspannte Wochen in unserem traditionellen Steinhaus verbracht haben und sich rundum wohlgefühlt haben. Es ist schön zu hören, dass Sie die ruhige Lage, den Meerblick und den ursprünglichen Charme des Hauses genießen konnten. Ihre freundlichen Worte über meine Gastfreundschaft bedeuten mir sehr viel. Wie Sie so schön geschrieben haben, gehört der Meltemi im Sommer manchmal einfach zu Kreta dazu. Umso mehr freut es mich, dass Sie sich schnell daran gewöhnt haben und Ihren Aufenthalt dennoch in vollen Zügen genießen konnten. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, Sie wieder in einem unserer traditionellen Häuser in Koutsounari begrüßen zu dürfen. Herzliche Grüße, Ioanna

Toller Aufenthalt

Das Cottage war sehr sauber. Die Handtücher und die Bettwäsche haben sehr gut gerochen und wurden bei unserem 4 tägigem Aufenthalt 1x gewechselt. Die Klimaanlage war sehr neu und hat dementsprechend funktioniert. Ein frischer blühender Zweig stand auf dem Tisch. Liebevoll eingerichtet. Es ist relativ klein und dunkel aber das sind traditionelle Häuserle nunmal. Es hat mir aber sehr gut gefallen.
