Your own corner of authentic Crete
Villa Koumos brings together the privacy of a country retreat and the pleasures of village life.
Inside, calm interiors, natural textures and thoughtful details make it easy to settle in. Outside, stone terraces offer sunshine, shade and uninterrupted views from breakfast until the last light disappears over Souda Bay.
It is a relaxed base for couples, families and friends who want much more than a fly-and-flop holiday: beaches within easy reach, tavernas close by and Western Crete waiting beyond the gate.
Unhurried days. Warm evenings. A Crete that feels like your own.
Made for living outdoors
Choose a lounger in the sun, a cool corner in the shade or a front-row seat for the evening sky.
Mountains, sea and sky
Look across olive groves to the White Mountains and Cretan Sea, with a changing panorama from sunrise to sunset.

Swim, float or simply cool off between lazy hours on the terraces. Pool heating is included in the direct-booking price.
