Hotel Mathios Village

The staff at this hotel are extremely helpful. If you don’t have anything plan ahead of time , don’t worry . The owner will give you great recommendations.

Overall, me and my girlfriend's stay was amazing!! Kostas, Hotel Manager, was very welcoming and accommodating. Dimitri, Transport Service, was very good and patient. The staff will take care of you. All are very knowledgeable of the island and fun activities to do - just ask if they have not already talked to you. I would, definitely, come back to Hotel Mathios next time I visit Santorini.

Hotel staff was exceptionally helpful and friendly! We only stayed one night, and was last minute reservation, due to a change in boat time change from Santorini to Rhodes. But they helped us setup an ATV (international drivers license required before you travel*), and we 4-wheeled all around the south of Santorini to the 3 awesome beaches. The owner of the hotel even hooked us up with a free day bed at black beach. The room was just "ok". No frills and nothing fancy, but did the job. If you are looking for something super cheap and easy in the south of Santorini I'd recommend it. But remember Fira is where you want to stay for all the shopping and views.

Great location but the room I had was very basic and had constant noise all night from local traffic, other residents and early in the morning the cleaners rattling around. Didn’t sleep well at all, staff were polite but manager is only interested in making money ended up spending a lot for a trip to Oia £125 euros which he arranged but was a waste of money, wouldn’t go back to that hotel but maybe Santorini. First time I couldn’t wait to go home also all week very windy. Booked through Expedias recommendation, spoke to staff to book, won’t be doing that again, big mistake!

I liked the idea of a family run hotel complex. Be prepared to pay cash for any additional things or services though.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The owner and his staff could not have been more friendly or helpful. Mama's cooking was good and their was a good selection of food. Everything was catered for, nothing was too much trouble.

Very unpleasant 2 nights stay. Very Noisy room. I booked a Standard room, it's say garden view on Expedia website, when I arrived, I got a room facing the Main Street, very noisy and small. I talked to the owner, he said all the standard rooms are facing the street. if I want garden view I have to pay more. I filled complain with Expedia for the false information on the listing.

The hotel is ideally placed if you are interested in spending time at the archeological excavation of Akrotiri, where cool artistic people lived a life of luxury 3600 years ago while most of us Europeans were living in caves, wearing skins, and throwing rocks at each other (nothing much changed then). Mr Costas the owner greeted us on arrival and was very helpful with advice about local facilities. He also owns a restaurant at the nearest "sandy' beach Perissa (7km approx) and allowed us free use of beach sunbeds . The other staff were also very friendly and helpful. Our room had a balcony shaded by pomegranate trees and flowering shrubs - beautiful! You can walk down to the sea at Akrotiri beach where there are economical small boat trips to red, white, and black, beaches, and for a very modest fee you can take a little boat party (plenty of free wine!) out to see the amazing Thira sunset. Best enjoyed when the wind is below force 4 ;) There are also several good restaurantas on Akrotiri beach, including the Cave of Nikolas, which has the best fish tomato balls in Thira. My wife and I had a very restful and enjoyable stay!

Our 'standard room' was described as having 'garden view balcony'. This turned out to be a balcony with a flower bed at the end, but overlooking a main road and extremely busy junction with high-revving quad bikes throughout the evening and into the night. It was too noisy to watch TV with the balcony doors open - we had to keep the shutters and door closed so never had daylight in the room. The other concern was the ladder up to the platform with the bed on - it was at about 60 degrees, very difficult to climb up and down and would be considered dangerous according to UK Building Regilstions. Anyone with limited mobility would be unable to climb up to bed. This was not made clear at the point of booking.

Great experience from check in to check out. Staff is great and hotel owner doubles as a travel/tour advisor. Great tips on every possible thing to do in Santorini. Absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a great stay and deal in Santorini.
