Perfect panorama, nice and warm welcome. The owner's English knowledge is not perfect, His secr. can communicate in English. In case of problem greek style solution in time and manner, but, at the end, averything is OK, everybody is happy. The palce is perfect for relaxing and spending time with family, but... without car rental every place, inkl. the see is far from the Apartments. A small marketshop in village, a couple of restaurants, and see. From airport one and a half hour by car. After payment the Owner, Mr Kounenos gave a bottle of olive oil from his own garden to guests. Except us... :( We do not know the reason. Thank You for Your Apartments Mr Kounenos. Nice and good place.

Très satisfaite

La villa dans laquelle nous avons passé 4 jours est splendide. Nous sommes 4 filles et on a eu un accueil super chaleureux de la part de Monsieur Kounenos qui était à l’écoute, disponible et très gentil. Sa résidence est un havre de paix. Très proche de plusieurs belles plages et d’endroits au alentour de la régions. La maisonnette qu’on a eu était très propre et magnifique avec une vue imprenable sur la mer et les montagnes. Je vous le recommande fortement.

Réservez plutôt sur Expedia !

Rien à redire sur la location : au calme, vue magnifique, beaucoup d’espace, idéalement localisée ; par contre je vous déconseille vivement de réserver par Abritel mais plutôt par Expédia (nous avons eu en effet de nombreux déboirs avec Abritel et n’avions toujours pas confirmation le matin même de la réservation malgré plusieurs appels téléphoniques à Abritel et malgré l’activation de leur cellule de crise ; en fait le propriétaire n’était même pas au courant qu’on pouvait louer sa résidence sans passer par Abritel !). Malgré ces mésaventures notre séjour a ensuite été excellent !

Merveilleux emplacement avec une vue à couper le souffle! Le logement (studio) avait tout le nécessaire, le ménage était fait régulièrement. La piscine était limpide, très bien entretenue avec des endroits ombragés et ensoleillés et un nombre de transats largement suffisant et toujours une vue merveilleuse sur la baie d'Istron.

Excellent location.

Excellent location, on a high hill overlooking the bay towards Agios Nikolaos. Tavernas nearby and only 20 minutes drive to Ag.Nik. Within easy reach of most areas at the eastern end of Crete. You need a car here, although there are plenty of bus stops along the main road. However, it would be a bit of a climb back up to the apartment from the road. Very friendly hospitable people. Nice pool. Charming apartment with amazing views from the terrace.

Studio avec une très belle vue et le silence

Accueil chaleureux du propriétaire, indique de bonnes adresses de tavernes non attrapé touristes. Le studio surplombe le Golfe, il y a un câble électrique qui passe devant la vue mais cela ne gêne en rien. Son emplacement fait que sommes au calme complet avec les cigales. La piscine est tout simplement géniale. La plage est en descente et s'atteint en 10 minutes à pieds. La literie est parfaite. La climatisation fonctionne très bien. La salle d'eau est très fonctionnelle mais il manque de puissance au jet de la douche. Douche avec parodie coulissante ok. Coin cuisine ok. Ménage ok. Changement des serviettes tous les 2-3 jours.

The best view in Crete!

The best view in Crete! We stayed here as 4 adults and one baby. In the maisonettes be aware the twin beds are located downstairs in the kitchen / dining area. There aren't many guest so it was never busy by the pool or in the grounds. A car is essential as it's a steep drive up to the property, for those who like a challenge you could walk down to the beach, or it's a 3 minute drive.

Schöne unterkunft mit wunderschöner Aussicht

Istro ist für mich einer der schönsten Orte auf Kreta- wunderschöner Strand, kleiner süßer und ruhiger Ort- perfekt für einen ruhigen Familienurlaub oder auch für diejenigen, die es eher ruhiger mögen. Wir waren das erste Mal in den Kounenos Apartments und würden es auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen! Die wunderschöne Aussicht und der Pool machen den steilen Weg zur Unterkunft wieder gut. Das Einzige, was vielleicht ausgebessert werden könnte, sind die Küchenmöbel, ansonsten gibt es meiner Meinung nach nichts zu bemängeln! Kommen auf jeden Fall wieder !!

Great place, great view.

A perfect place with splendid view located close to many popular locations in the east of Crete. The appartments have all the comfort you need and if you chose one of the larger units you'll hav a sunny top balcony and a more shaded in the lower level. The road from the main highway is very steep and narrow with 3 tight turns - requires some gettimg used to.

TRES BEL EMPLACEMENT FACE A LA MER

STUDIO TRES AGREABLE, VUE SPLENDIDE, STUDIO FONCTIONNEL, AU CALME. Les appartements avec chambre sont encore mieux car un peu plus élevés ainsi la vue est magnifique ! la piscine est grande et une séparation est faite par un muret afin qu'il y ait "deux bassins", ainsi y a t-il un espace piscine pour les enfants ne sachant pas nager (profondeur 40 cm environ pour la partie enfant). Elle est grande, très bien située et très agréable , et parfois nous pouvons y être seuls ! (pas de stress des transats occupés par les serviettes..... comme dans les Resort). Le ménage est fait et le linge de toilette changé tous les 3 - 4 jours. Nous y avons séjourné deux semaines. Nous avons pu sillonner le tiers de la Crète (tout l'Est de l'ile). Le propriétaire est à l'écoute. Agios Nikolaos est à 15 mn en voiture. WIFI accessible.
