Villa Koutsakis

This was our third August in a row at Villa Koutsakis, and we’re already making plans for a fourth. We came as a couple and felt well looked after. The rooms were spotless and air-conditioned, with balconies looking out over the sea. We started mornings with coffee by the water and ended the day listening to gentle waves beneath a starry sky. It’s a peaceful beachfront spot in Chrysostomos, with clear water, a quiet pebble beach and sunsets that are hard to forget. There are sunbeds and shade right on the beach, and the place still felt safe and serene in peak season. Wi-Fi and parking both worked well. The family who run it are warm and genuine, and the food at the on-site taverna was delicious and fairly priced. The final stretch of road is a bit rough, but the beach stays uncrowded and calm. For couples looking to rest away from the crowds, it’s a lovely find and great value.

We had the beach to ourselves, with crystal-clear water, umbrellas and chairs. I wish we’d stayed longer. The villa is lovely, and the simple, clean, cozy rooms make for a really relaxing break without mass tourism. From the view, it feels like the sea is right in your eyes. The family still owns the place, and they’re lovely and helpful. They serve homemade food all day.

The beach in front of the hotel is quite large, with umbrellas and sunbeds, and the view from the rooms is spectacular. The rooms are basic but spacious. The owner is a very kind lady, and nobody bothers you, which makes for a comfortable stay. Just take everything you need when heading down, because there are quite a lot of stairs on the way back up to your room. The amazing beach and the room view make it worth it.

The beach was wonderful and just five minutes away, and it was never crowded. We found the people really friendly, the service great, and the cuisine very well done. The rooms were large, well equipped and very clean. There’s comfortable parking, spacious terraces, a mesmerising view and so much peace and quiet. We’ll definitely return.
