The village is located on the east of the island, near the cosmopolitan town of Hersonissos where there are a plethora of shops and bars. Visitors will feel instantly at home in Koutouloufari thanks to the great friendliness and hospitality of the local Cretan community, who will be keen to share with them their local delicacies or point them in the direction of a good local hike or horse ride.
Esperides Villas, Crete
Rouge and flat-roofed like much of the Cretan architecture, the Esperides Villas look striking against the crystal blue waters of the adjacent pools. Breakfast is included for stays here, and the villas give access to a spa so guests needn’t lift a finger for the duration of their stay. For those who would like to maintain their family routines, there is a kitchenette and, whilst there is opportunity to meet new people at the poolside, the villas provide a great deal more privacy than you might get in a hotel.

Guests at the residence can tuck into the buffet breakfast or make breakfast in bed for the family using the apartment kitchenette. A pebble beach is just a stone’s throw from the residence, but those who fancy a refreshing dip needn’t venture further than the residence’s indoor and outdoor pools. The residence is located in São Martinho, one of Funchal’s tourist neighbourhoods, so guests can easily spend a day touring the landmarks of the capital.
