Monthly Rentals in Koutalas beach

My husband and I have only stayed 4 nights at Nikos' Kafenion, but it was a real pleasure. The place is an architectural gem, in an old, charming traditional house, and we were delighted to blend with the local community, even for a few days. We had dinners at a taverna in the village, among locals, kids, cats and dogs, and went for an evening coffee at the coffee place in the vicinity, too. It was our greatest pleasure to enjoy our breakfasts on the terrace, and to spend late evenings there, too. It is a quiet place in a nice village, and that was all that we needed for our vacation. Nikos has a well deserved reputation. He was friendly, helpful, attentive, answered to all our questions, and gave us valuable suggestions, every time. We've rented one of his cars and went to different beaches in the area, and to Kournas Lake. We would love to return to Crete and stay again at Nikos, and we definitely appreciate his hospitality and generosity. Efcharisto poli!

The team at Etouri were all very polite, helpful and quick to respond from the initial booking and througout the stay. The villa itself looks even better the pictures and is very private, depite the two properties on either side because the villa is on such a large plot. The flow of the villa inside is very logical and works really well and the whole place was gleaming when we arrived, despite being a little bit earlier than we had advised the host. The owner gave us a really warm welcome, including a fantastic home made moussaka that was the best we had eaten in Greece over the last 20 years, plus a dessert , a greek salad and some pastries. The rooms are really clean and comfortable and the outdoor areas are just as good with a padel tennis court, table football and a large pool with very comfortable sun loungers. The location is about 900 metres up hill from several tavernas in Plaka itself, but the walk is not too steep and gives you privacy whilst still being in easy reach.

Wonderful stay in a serene environment. Beautiful view towards the sea, nice swimming pool and large, tastefully decorated rooms. We were able to really unwind here. You usually need a car to visit restaurants or nearby villages. No problem for us, we enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Magali's place is small and nice, we felt very comfortable! The contact was very warm, the communication smooth. We will be happy to come back when the weather is better and then explore the beautiful hiking area :)
