Koutouloufari a unique experience in Crete

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Apr 17, 2017
Staying at holiday club at Koutouloufari village was nice and central to this part of the island on Crete. The restaurants and the atmosphere at night in the village was just beautiful. Chrissie Island is a magical place to visit where the different colours of the ocean waters are amazing. The area has many ancient and historical sites and the museum in Hereklion is a must see. The whole experience of Crete is very casual and the local people are very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed it so much that we are going back again and to visit more in the western part of the island.
Date of stay: October 2016

The Hotel has a good location. We could walk down to many restaurants and also the town of Hersionosis within 10-15 minutes. (Its an uphill walk so a little strenuous). But for the island it is great. We hired a car and went for day trips to Herklion (30 min drive) , Agio Nikaulas (1 hr drive) and Chania (2 hr drive).

A lot of restaurants are around this hotel, we could visit only 4 as the rest were closed in last week of March. Most of them open in April 1st week for the season. We found a nice place for breakfast in Hersionosis and had dinner in a different restaurant every evening.

The resort is comfortable and the rooms have a fuctional kitchen. You have grocery stores nearby for cooking up something basic in a hurry.

Anne and Manaulis are very helpful. They were full of advice on how to plan our week in Crete. The rooms were services once in two days and they had some activities in the hotel (we never got time to use it). The Hotel is on a slope so you enter in the reception and walk up to your rooms.

Overall I would say a good base to have for your trip to Crete, away from the hustle bustle.

Room tip: Room 11 and 8 have the best views of the Sea

We have been coming to the Village Holiday Club every year for the last 5 years......and we LOVE it. It is so peaceful and pretty. We haven't stayed in a bad unit, they are all different and quirky, which adds to the charm. There are so many restaurants and tavernas just outside the door, we are still trying to work our way through them all. Would thoroughly recommend.

Excellent hidden gem. So relaxing. Spacious clean accommodation. Friendly, helpful staff. Quirky layout, something of interest everywhere you go.
The free massage on the first day was a wonderful surprise.
Complimentary use of shower room with everything supplied so we could freshen up before our late flight home was divine.

First class accommodation, excellent facilities and friendly, helpful staff in a beautiful little village location! Far enough away ftom Hersonissis to be quiet and relaxed, but close enough if you want a lively night out or a day at the beach! Great selection of lovely little tavernas right on the doorstep! Ideal location as a base for exploring (a hire car is a "must-have" in order to get to know this lovely part of Crete)! Wouldn't hesitate to go back...!!!

Well I could spend ages to tell you about the village holiday club, for us it was like going back home and spending time with our family. Pavlos, Eni and Katerina made us so welcome and nothing was too much trouble. With the grounds and OUR apartment No 4 it was like we had not been away.
The pool snack bar again served up great food and as always fresh products. We are already looking at returning next year with some family to share our new home with. Based in the centre of the village and all bars and restuarants on the doorstep you could not wish for more. Thank you for our great time in Koutoulafari, miss you already
