Matala Dimitris Villa

Simple, safe, affordable and great location. I also found it charming. If you aren’t looking for a Ritz experience, just a nice place to stay in Matala, then I say go for it. We were pleasantly surprised and will stay here again.

Simple, clean rooms. Super friendly staff. 5 minutes walk to the beach.

Stayed at hotel in April, during shoulder season. Wonderfully quiet, tucked back off Main Street, but walking distance to Matala Beach. Older, small hotel, with all rooms having a door and window facing the outside, which we appreciated, for sunlight and fresh air. Though simple and dated, the room was comfortable and clean. Still early and chilly for swimming in the pool and the ocean, but we knew that would be the case. Nice Greek breakfast buffet served by staff. Try the mountain tea. Staff were wonderfully friendly and professional, making our stay enjoyable. We recommend short visits to the archaeological sites of Phaestos Palace and Gortyna European Law Code (and Temples of Egyptian and Apollo) in the earlymornings, then spending the afternoons at the beach.

Les chambres sont vieilles, surtout la salle de bain. Malgré que ce soit propre, elle ne donne pas envie de l'utiliser, et on pas reussi à avoir de l'eau chaude non plus. Hormis ca, le reste est ok.

Da etwas abseits gelegen schön ruhig. Leider ohne Wasser im Pool.

Appartement sympas. Le seul petit bemol est la douche un peu petite.

Le calme et la piscine Petit déjeuner moyen Bien placé

Cette petite adresse familiale souriante vaut vraiment le detour. L'accueil le petit-déjeuner très sympathique devant la piscine on est vraiment en vacances. Un parking avec de la place pour se garer et à quelques minutes de la plage de Matala. Très bonne adresse à recommander

Your beautiful pool ,smiles also a perfect breakfast.

This is a small (believed to be 16 roomed), presumed to be family-run, hotel, set back from the road into Matala and 3-4 minutes walk from the town's main facilities and beach. Due to its location it is very quiet and peaceful, with views of the rugged mountains around. Plenty of car parking space - no charge. The rooms are fairly basic but more than adequate, with plenty of storage space - wardrobe, drawers - a TV (limited channels on offer but how much time are you going to spend watching TV?), a decent sized fridge and a wall safe. Take your own travel kettle if you like hot drinks in your room as one is not provided. We didn't have need to use the air conditioning so unable to comment on its efficiency. Other reviews have criticised the bathroom area and shower. Whilst basic, they were perfectly adequate for our 5 nights stay at the end of October / beginning of November. Sunny days certainly generated hot water although by the morning the temperature of the remaining water had dropped to lukewarm - so perhaps better to shower in the evening than the morning. Breakfast was available beside the outdoor swimming pool, with a good and plentiful selection of items, e.g. yogurt, melon, hard-boiled eggs, fresh bread, jams, meat, cheese, cake, besides fruit juice and tea and coffee. The staff were very friendly and helpful and always seemed willing to help. We are very happy to recommend this hotel and would certainly use it again if we were returning to the area in the future.
