DüsseldorfLovely, cozy place - just perfect to relax
Left on 07/22/2012 for a stay in June 2012
We spent wonderful two weeks in the cottages. Everything was just right: the traditional house with all those lovely details and great sea view was a perfect home for us (the long beautiful pebble beach with clear water, populated by very few people, was just a tree-minute car ride away).
We received a very warm welcome, with fresh flowers placed in the house and a little breakfast basket - and the whole two weeks the owner couple was very helpful and assisted us with their advice: nice beaches, places to eat or to shop.
Our favourite place for the two weeks was the great, large terrace. We recommend these traditional cottages to anyone who wants to spent some quite, relaxing days in a lovely environment.Response from Emmanuel - 07/31/2012

My wife and I stayed at the Koutsounari Tradional Cottages to celebrate our wedding anniversary. I have to say, this is one of the finest facilities we have ever stayed in. My wife is an interior architect, and when we opened the door to our room my wife was blown away. It was breathtaking!!! The decor, the service and the ambience are all outstanding.
Words just can't describe the feeling we got there. The Mantala family, owners of the hotel made our holiday a stay to remember. The place where you can enjoy in comfort the sun and the sea and fall in love again. I recommend this place, a definite must! We are certainly going back for more...

CyprusPerfect for letting go - everything is taken care of!

I stayed there with a friend for a relaxing holiday. The cottages were beautiful and homely at the same time and the area had the feel of a 'real' traditional village. Attention to detail was obvious and everything was perfect, both in cleanliness and set-up.
The view was magnificent, especially from our little veranda. If you like walking I would recommend waking up early and walking up the hill near the villages - the early morning, the roosters, the locals waking up, it's a great experience!
The beaches and the city centre were only a short trip away by car but I think it was worth it for a chance to stay in these traditional cottages - you don't get the feel of the place otherwise.
The cottages had every comfort we needed and were fully self-sufficient: kitchen and cooking utensils, fridge, hair-drier... I don't remember needing anything that I didn't have.
I just loved it!Response from Emmanuel - 11/24/2011
Owner

Left on 07/19/2011 for a stay in August 2006
The first time i came at Koutsounari Traditional Cottages, I was 4 years old, with my sister and my parents, and we all felt in love with the place.
We found here hospitality like nowhere else. The owners became our friends and almost familly.
We like, the fact that living in the cottages reminds you of Crete of other times. I want to thank Manolis, for the warm welcoming, Dora for her incredible traditional dishes, and their childrean (Ioanna & Andreas) for their friendship.
At Koutsounari Traditional cottages you will relax and feel far away from everything you know! You should definitely discover it by your self!Response from Emmanuel - 07/20/2011
Owner
Adrien, thank you for your lovely words! It's also a great pleasure for our family, to have met you.

Donner notre opinion sur les maisonnettes traditionnelles de Koutsounari c'est d'abord dire que nous allons y retourner pour la trente cinquième année consécutive. Cette fidélité est la meilleure des publicités. Nous savons l'accueil personnalisé et sympathique que nous allons trouver.. Nous savons le charme particulier de la maisonnette et son panorama. Si la piscine et sa vue dominant la mer son exceptionnelles, la cuisine de Dora Mandalas l'est également.
En conclusion; la famille Mandalas, ses maisonnettes et leur environnement sont l'assurance d'un séjour hors du commun

Leiden, The Netherlandslove it!
Left on 05/03/2011 for a stay in May 2010
From 1981 up to now I stayed in one of the traditional cottages almost once a year and I really love it.
I stayed with the Mandalas family with my mum, different friends, wanted everybody to see it.
The moment we drive from Ierapetra to Koutsounari it feels like coming home.
A beautiful house, olivetrees, oleanders,a terras with seeview and it's so quiet you hear the birds.
And we were very well taken care of by Mr. and Mrs. Mandalas.
It's very useful to rent a car because it is a small village in a quiet surrounding.
