Koutsounari Traditional Cottages

The cottages are quite private and peaceful, with a stunning view towards the sea. 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.

The cottage 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 entire facility was made of stone and gave a great 'old' feeling. It is a charming place to spend a few days away from the crowd, with stylish restoration of traditional cottages, yet kept simple, and with all necessary comfort to feel welcome and well taken care of.

The cottage has a fabulous view over the sea and olive trees. It is a great location for moving around the region and very quiet. The terraces and gardens were perfect for relaxing.

The cottage was located in the village, in the middle of an olive tree plantation, which gave an even more authentic experience. The interior design was really well thought out, with keen attention to details.

Several guests mentioned that having a car is essential for getting around, as the location is quiet and some places are not easily accessible by foot or public transport.
