Hotel Mathios Village

We were really pleased that we stayed here and not in Thira. It was convenient from the ferry although taxi cost more than we expected (check hotel transfers?) The pool/bar area was lovely and the views great from across the road. The set meal deal was good value but there are some great authentic restaurants in the village 10 minutes walk away. Bus to Thira stops right outside - cheap and efficient but we were glad to escape back to the calm and space.

We stayed here for 1 week in Aug/Sept 2010. The two pools were wonderful to hop into at the end of the day! Pools were clean and the bar area was great. We ate there each night - the 4 course meal was authentic greek cuisine. Many of the dishes were in the Greek cookbook that I purchased while over there. We chose to not rent a car, but were able to easily take the bus to Fira from where we walked to Inmerovigli for amazing views. We also easily took the bus to Oia. We walked to the Red Beach (30 minutes) and down to Caldera Beach (10 minutes) several times. Excellent location, will definately come back. Staff were wonderful and friendly - very much a family run hotel. Quiet and the air conditioning worked! Kostas the manager was helpful to arrange trips and answer questions.

Great Island, great staff, nice hotel. I thought my 4 night stay in Santorini was memorable. Great food on the island, beautiful weather and of course the incredible blue waters. Mathios is a good choice and a pretty good value.

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Mathios Village. There was a very nice family atmosphere and we were made to feel at home. The location was good, with an easily accessible main road near the hotel which led you all around the island. Would recommend hiring a car to get about and see the rest of beautiful Santorini. The room was very clean and cleaned daily. Be aware that if your flight arrives after 10pm there's no reception desk, but they do leave a note and your room key for you to access the room. It would have been good to have known this before our arrival. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel.

IWe were told to be quiet twice in the afternoon when kids were playing in the pool,and asked at 11pm one night not to talk by the bar by a guest who was trying to sleep,as we sat enjoying the evening with 11 other guests . If we hadn't paid in advance we would have left after 2 days,as this was worst Hotel we had been to in last 25 years,just too many rules and and no flexibility from manager. We ate out every night after the first and spent as much time later in our trip at the Beach as we could. Many people were complaining and one couple walked out and went to another Hotel,Mr.Kosta tried to be nice on last 24 hours charged us Euros 30 to go back to the Airport and drove himself!!!! This Hotel needs to decide if it wants families or not and also customers that like a drink after dinner,as we all went out it would have been nice to meet other guests at the Bar after dinner.

I reserved the Grand Maisonette for 4-Half Board that included full breakfast and dinner for four adults. Our accommodations were lovely and charming. Kostas, the owner, was a wonderful host and the entire staff that help run this family owned hotel are friendly and professional. Our room had a small terrace with a table and two chairs that was perfect to enjoy a glass of Boutari Greek wine. Bring your own beach towels to use at the TWO kidney shaped pool(s) on the property. I suggest renting a car to explore Santorini. Very affordable and the most effecient way to get around the island. Hotel Mathios is approximately 10 miles from the airport and an easy drive. We went to Thira to walk around and were ultimately so happy that we did not choose a hotel in all the hustle and bustle of Thira. We took a beautiful drive to see the sunset in Oia that is not to be missed. Kostas was most helpful when my Mother's toe got infected from her walk up to the Acropolis in Athens. He referred us to a private doctor in Thira who was very knowledgeable and the medications he prescribed worked wonderfully. Lastly, dinners at Hotel Mathios were delicious homecooked traditional Greek cuisine. EVERY meal was four courses, excellent and not to be missed. Be aware that all beverages at dinner are purchased through the hotel and are reasonably priced. We would absolutely return to Hotel Village Mathios next visit because of the friendly family atmosphere, accomodations & delicious Greek food. Oopa!

A lovely hotel. My room had a loft! I liked how the restaurant/bar was all windows and open to the pool area. The location is a bit remote, but it's very easy to rent a car to get around the island and car pickup/drop-off at the hotel can be easily arranged.

The hotel is very nicely maintained and the staff were very accommodating. We were particularly pleased and very much entertained by Eddie from Romania. The village is off the beaten path, so it was very peaceful; we're glad that we rented a car - we were able to go to out-of-the way places in the vicinity. Would go back there again and stay at this hotel.

Hotel Mathios is one of a kind. I am in the wine business and have traveled many places but Santorini was a gem. We went there on our honeymoon not knowing what to expect. Costas the son and manager was sooo helpful. He set us up with a rental car (Which you need, trust me!) and set our trips. He made the trip stress free and the prices he got us were the best. He also pointed us to good wine. Being in the business i'm sometimes picky and one of the best wines on the island was their familie's. Also beautiful view with pool, vineyards and water. Can't wait to go back.

What a lovely property. Not luxurious but charming and with great service. Its best feature is its outdoor space -- it is exactly as it looks in the hotel photos. Having dinner at the restaurant there is also a must. Mama's cooking is delicious and the prices are very reasonable. The breakfasts are more than adequate. If you're looking for a location out of the main tourist trap areas, this is the place to stay. We rented a car and drove to Oia and Fira. It was not only not that far but a really fun experience to do that. You see and experience so much more of the island that way.
