Vacation rentals in Kouses

Antonis’s place exceeded expectations in every way. Our host, George (father of Antonis) greeted us with wine, treats, welcoming words, and two adorable dogs - we felt at home and began relaxing immediately. The grounds were even better than the photos - the house is spacious, comfortable, gorgeous. The upstairs veranda overlooking the sea was a highlight - a perfect spot for morning yoga and evening stargazing. We kept discovering new wonders - the trail to the beach through the olive trees, vegetable garden, exquisite woodwork and masonry; not to mention the incredible views of mountains, meadows, and sea. The sound of the waves all night was a beautiful lullaby. The village is very quiet in early April when we were there. Nothing was open so we brought in all of our supplies, which was good because once you’ve made it down the mountain, you’ll want to stay put until it’s time to leave. - no quick trips into town from there! Def bring a sturdy vehicle! Can’t wait to go back!

We spent 4 days in this place which is much more than an "airb&b". Here, the setting is fantastic, in the olive fields, super central to visit the north of the island, close to Karteros where you will find some local shops. In addition to all these qualities, you will find here the soul of a real family home where you can only feel.... spacious, cozy, clean and very well-equipped everything is perfect. Many thanks to hosts who have done everything that these few days go as smoothly as possible.

Great and cosy stone house, makes you feel very welcome in a cute greek village. Location of Gerani is great and in good approximity to Episkopi beach and Rethymno. Has all amenities one can expect from a house someone actually lives in. plus Eleni and her Son are very nice. Keep in mind it's a small bed (firm yet comfortable). Directly park at the parking lot by Staras Tavern though, it is directly next to the house. All in all one of the few good and authentic airbnb experiences.

So glad we stayed here. The location was excellent- the pier and marina were two minutes away, and the shops, restaurants and bars even closer than that. We loved sitting on the roof terrace listening to vibrant centre while watching the boats coming into the port. The apartment itself was peaceful, clean and welcoming. The host was excellent and even suggested great restaurants, and walks and trips that we might like. Just perfect! Thanks

A really great apartment, super close to the beach (aprox 50m), close to supermarkets, restaurants, bars. Everything you need is a few min away. The apartment was delivered super clean, in the fridge I had a cold bottle of water and a bottle of apple juice, fruits on the table and butter&honey. Christos was very proactive, I locked myself out of the apartment (closed the door with the key inside 🤦🏻), I wrote him on airbnb and he was there in 10 min to help me out. Overall, a great place to stay in Rethymno and a super host !!!

I would recommend this Property and our Host. Everything was as indicated in listing. But, our host went above and beyond with his quick response to our questions and perfect recommendations for restaurants and things to see. When he stopped by for a casual visit we felt like old friends and we are lucky enough to have a new friend now!! His wife was kind enough to make us zucchini patties that we delicious! thank you!

At Vagelis' arrival was like in a home, very cozy, very friendly, very helpful, always approachable and straightforward. If you are looking for peace, you will find it here. It is an ideal starting point for excursions, not far from the beautiful beach of Episcopia, easy to reach many tavernas by car and quickly you are also in the town of Rethymno . The pool is extra large and nice for swimming, feels like a private pool ! The room service was very good, there were always fresh towels and was cleaned. It is a very simple place to stay, but it offers everything you need for everyday well-being, without much frills. The sunrises and sunsets can also be enjoyed here - right from the apartment you have fantastic views of the LEFKA ORI mountains and the olive plantations all around.

Giorgos was a great host. Flexible with our demands and very responsive whenever we had any issues. For example, we had a hot water problem, which he resolved quickly after we informed him. The villa is very beautiful with a 360 view of Heraklion and the surrounding area. It has a great living room space for social gatherings, outside tables for dining and a grill. The kitchen was also well equipped with a large fridge+freezer, dish washer, microwave oven and gas hobs. The gym was well equipped and the swimming pool water was very clean. There was a washing machine with a lot of drying space. Several of the rooms have private bathrooms. The villa was not easily reachable by foot but that is the case for most places on Crete. It had however plenty of parking space and remotely operated gates. We didn't try the jacuzzi so can't comment on that and the piano was locked. Overall our stay was amazing, we're very happy and would recommend Giorgos as a host :)
