Vacation rentals in Kouses

My family stayed for a month and felt welcomed and at home. We stayed during Feb so things were quiet but we made friends with the locals who are all lovely. The house is in a beautiful location and very peaceful - we had everything we needed and George was always on hand to help us when we needed it. We felt safe and taken care of despite the remoteness. Thank you to Antonis and his family for having us and being such hospitable hosts. We highly recommend.

When we arrived at the apartment, we were greeted by Katerinas father who showed us everything in the apartment and the surrounding with the whirlpool and the garden. This was already a fantastic beginning. In the apartment we were greeted by a homemade frittata and tons of fresh fruit. We had trouble to do eat all of this. The provided ground coffee and all the other things in the fridge including a bottle of wine and Raki was making us smile and feel like at home. Even in the washing machine there were some washing pods provided. Wow! We had a really good time and we got a lot of good support from Katerina and her family (super sweet). We liked that we were allowed to separate the waste for recycling, we do the same at home and this is needed everywhere in the world. The apartment was more than spacious enough for us two and the outside sitting possibilities were used a lot for our breakfasts.

We enjoyed a very pleasant 12 days at Manos & Sofi’s house at the end of January. The weather was perfect with 17 degrees and sun every day. A bit chilly at night but the house has heat, and comfortable blankets. Communication was great from the beginning, and they gave us some excellent tips on places to eat. The house is beautiful with sea and mountain views, an olive grove, and chickens and cats roaming about. It was a perfect escape from the gloom of Germany at this time of year. You will almost certainly want to rent a car. There are a mini market and a few restaurants within walking distance, but most things were closed for the winter, and public transport isn’t running regularly. We were able to get a small car from Hertz at the airport for about €20 / day.

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.

Very nice villa, very functional and well located in relation to the beach, restaurants and supermarket in the village. Please note that only one of the two bedrooms is air conditioned.

Heike's place was super well maintained and had everything your heart desired. We felt comfortable and enjoyed our time very much! Heike was also on site on the day of our arrival and personally gave us many helpful tips and explained everything necessary to us. She was also quickly available to us at any time. Utensils for grilling meat and fish were also fully available. The surrounding small towns with numerous locations can be reached quickly and easily by car. If you are athletic, you can also walk :) . But you can also unwind at home, either in a hammock or a lounger.

We had a wonderful time in the villa. It provided everything we needed and it was really clean. The outdoor area is amazing, having breakfast with that view! There is enough shade and wind to be able to sit outside even on the hottest days. The pool is also great, shaded and private. Bedrooms have airco which was needed. If I would have to give one remark it would be that the bed in the 2person bed was a bit too hard for us. The south coast is really quiet, even in August. But there is a large supermarket in 10 minutes drive and in the village or at the seaside (5min drive) there are amazing restaurants with authentic cooking. I would definitely recommend this house!

The place is fantastic, and just like in the photos - a villa in the mountains with a beautiful view, in great condition with plenty of amenities, everything was clean and design was tasteful and spacious. It's just a 15 minute drive to Heraklion or 5 minutes to the closest convenience store, and Theo was incredibly helpful, form navigating us to the area to helping us make dinner reservations to some restaurants, and was always available. Perfect location, perfect service. Miss that place already!
