Show post count number assigned to custom taxonomy

Question

I'm building a villa rental website, I have two custom post types named "Villa" (used to show villas) and "Destination".
I have installed the CPT-onomies plugin and I use the "Destination" as custom taxonomy for the villas post type.

I want on each Destination post (ex. the post showing Greece as destination) to show the number of Villas (posts) assigned to that Destination (custom post type).

I have read this post but this code is only showing a list of all taxonomies and next to it a number showing the post count.

This is the code showing all the taxonomies and post count.

$terms = get_terms('countries'); 
if ( !empty( $terms ) && !is_wp_error( $terms ) ){ 
  echo '<ul>'; 

  foreach ( $terms as $term ) { 
    $term = sanitize_term( $term, 'countries' ); 
    $term_link = get_term_link( $term, 'countries' ); 

    echo '<li><a href="' . esc_url( $term_link ) . '">' . $term->name .     '&nbsp;(' . $term->count . ')' . '</a></li>'; 
  } 
  echo '</ul>';
}

Thank you for your help. Sorry but English is not my native language I tried to describe my problem best possible.

Normally usage of get_term() or get_term_by() is pretty much clear cut. See the basic example below:

// ID is needed
$term_by_id = get_term( 12345, 'destination' );
echo $term_by_id->count;
// Or if you e.g. want use the name (or slug or id or term_taxonomy_id)
$term_by_name = get_term_by( 'name', 'greece', 'destination' );
echo $term_by_name->count;

Note: I said normally, because I don't know anything about the plugin you are using.
