Pretty village retreat

We loved staying at the villa Coupe in the mountain village of Agios Ioannis. The views are spectacular and the small villa is comfortable and well equipped. The air conditioning unit in the upper bedroom was a bonus and led to good nights' sleep and having a dishwasher was also a real help. The house itself has been renovated tastefully, and has a lovely character - well shown in the photos so we were not disappointed: the description is very accurate. The downstairs terrace is a real haven with olive, fig, almond, cactus, vines and a delicious smelling jasmine - we really enjoyed having our lunch there after a morning on the beach. Walking in the mountains, easily accessed from the village, in the cooler evenings was a highlight, meeting only goats and sheep and their shepherd provided a good contrast to the busier coastline. The breathtaking views, the smell of wild herbs and the sound of goat bells were magical. We can recommend the local village taverna where we were served rabbit stew and further afield, the River restaurant in Agia Fotia was particularly good - a family taverna surrounded by roses and fruits with much of the food sourced from the family's own plot. The complementary walnut cake and raki at the end of the meal were delicious. We had a memorable holiday and can highly recommend the villa.

Eine beschönigende Beschreibung - Haus nicht bewohnt

Das Haus befindet sich in einem abgelegenen Bergdorf, nur mühsam zu erreichen. Es ist umgeben von zerfallenen Häusern, Ruinen. Wir konnten es uns nicht vorstellen, dort unserem Urlaub zu verbringen. Ein Geschäft mit Lebensmitteln ist in dem Ort nicht vorhanden. Das einzige Restaurant war am Anreisetag geschlossen.

Goed toeven in een schilderachtig dorpje in zuid-oost Kreta

Het is een robuust, Kretenzisch huis met meerdere terrassen. Prachtig uitzicht vanaf boventerras. Alle apparatuur aanwezig en werkend. Geen grote luxe, maar voor wie er voor kiest is het heerlijk toeven.

About the host

Why they chose this property

We love Crete and the town Agios Ioannis because of the peacefulness. The view from the terrace is magnificent. The south east of Crete is not so touristy as the North of Crete and there is a lot to explore. It is also known as the the most southern area of Europe.
The house is in the middle of a village that was largely abandoned in the 70's. About 20 years ago people started renovating properties in the village, and now there are some really nice holiday homes there. There is a taverna in the village square, also a music café higher up in the village. The village is about 500 meters above sea level, and because of this is generally cooler than the coast. You definitely need a car for this trip! The lanes near the house are very steep, access with wheelchair is difficult.
We recommend doing your shopping before you drive up to the house, there are no shops in the village.
We have 2 wifi's in the house, a Vodafone prepaid router (cards from Vodafone Ierapetra or elsewhere) and a fixed Vodafone router which is glitchy. We recommend using the excellent 4G in the village.
