Holiday houses in Koumasa

Nothing matches the serenity and views of Irini’s cozy stay! To wake up and walk out to the upstairs private patio… to hang laundry on the porch amongst the songbirds, overlooking the seas and with a view to the west where Kofinas looms over Kapetaniana was magical. Locals were indoors mostly this time of year except low traffic on the streets on Sunday and the grocery truck came once below our home. Never had a parking issue - there was a walk of a block to take bags to stay and up a short flight of stairs but no issue for us. My husband is tall so the bathroom shower and doorway was a little low for him - but it is so neat as it is beautifully built into the cliff side! Traditional stone home with all the things we needed to cook and sit by the fire each night. Mini split heat/AC upstairs and down, she left us two bags of wood as well. We extended our stay and hope to come back again! Thank you for sharing your home with us and being a helpful, responsive host for all we needed!

Words cannot describe enough the wonderful time we had staying here. We stayed in 2 other places in our visit to Crete as this was by far the best and our favourite! The village is beautiful and everyone is so friendly and helpful. The restaurant has amazing food which is cooked by Georgious (who is a great chef!) and the local cafe also has amazing food (you have to try Lefki’s Galaktoboureko it’s divine!) The atmosphere of the whole village is perfect. The surroundings are serene and beautiful and watching the sunset behind the mountains is a magical experience. Maria is one of the kindest, gentlest and warmest people you could ever meet and she really made our holiday one we will never forget. She recommended many places to visit and things to do which were amazing and we would not have found them without her! We cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us and the great evenings we had chatting under the stars by the mountain. We will be back very soon to visit!

This was a gem of a find with expansive views of the countryside . George was a super host! The villa was even more beautiful in person, with a large terrace and stunning views. The pool and sun decks were great. Close driving distance to a large selection of easy going taverns & supermarkets where people were very friendly and helpful . This villa is 40 min south to Matala where we enjoyed the beach and seaside restaurants and live music. We recommend!

Our experience here was the highlight of our stay in Crete! Federico provided us with detailed recommendations of some of his favorite spots nearby, and we visited as many as we could. Each one was a beautiful destination with no tourists and occasionally some fellow locals. And his food recommendations were some of the best food we had! As for the house itself, it’s a beautiful, private villa made with love by Federico

We had an awesome time at Nikos’s place, he gave very useful tips and his apartment is at walking distance from everything in Matala(as the village is very small). As mentioned in other posts, there are quite a few steps to the place but you get used to it, and it’s a great workout after a big dinner in one of the restaurants below. One of the days it was too windy to be on the beach so we stayed on the terrace of the accommodation with a great view of the sea, the sound of the waves and privacy from others. Perfect for a romantic getaway. Thank you Nikos!

The wooden house is a little paradise in the mountains. It looks even better than in the pictures ! We had an amazing stay there, we can't wait to come back here ! We had the chance to have some amazing olive oil from Stelios family that was sooo good ! Stelios is an amazing host that is super available, kind and funny. I really recommand this place, do not hesitate go there for some peace and quiet, no tourism and nice things to do around !

We traveled with friends and babies (a total of 4 adults and 2 babies (8&10 months old)) to the villa to Savas & Maria and the villa was fantastically beautiful (even more beautiful than in the photos)! For our tour group, the villa was just perfect, we had our peace, could relax and the children had enough space to play on the giant terrace. Savas & Maria kindly provided everything necessary for our kids (crib, baby chairs, a small inflatable pool and plenty of toys). Cleanliness is very important in the villa, the villa was handed over to us in perfect condition! The villa was rounded off in the evening by the overwhelming sunsets! Savas & Maria were extremely communicative, gave us great recommendations and were always available! We would like to express our sincere thanks again for your warmth, hospitality and a fantastic stay! If we come back to Crete, we'll come back to you!

Great experience overall. Lovely little house, tiny tiny village in the middle of nowhere. Beautiful little details around the house, attentive host, funny friendly neighbors. We felt very welcome and lucky to be there and experience. Tavern nearby was very tasty, as if your grandma cooked for you. The only negative comments - shower is in the toilet, so all floor will be wet afterwards. Additionally, you live in a tiny village where neighbors will wake you up in the morning by talking to each other)) . But overall we loved it. Big thanks and recommend!
