Hotel Mathios Village

Myself and my boyfriend (both 30 years old) booked our stay last minute so didn't quite know what to expect. We had reservations that we might be in a slightly sleepy part of the island, which was true, but we were delighted with our choice. It meant we could properly relax and switch off as we weren't in the touristy, expensive hustle and bustle of Fira, Kamari or Oia but we were still easily able to explore these towns at our leisure. The hotel is also opposite one of the best vantage points, overlooking the sea. I would argue you could get as good a view of the sunset as you would in Oia. We stayed in a perfect room, number 32, in Hotel Mathios, with a mezzanine bed and a lovely patio space of our own outside. The rooms were cleaned every day and fresh towels/ toiletries left out. The pool was lovely, and in the area there are enough decent restaurants to keep you happy for a week. We didn't opt in for the breakfast, which looked decent, as we were on a tight budget and it was €10 a day. A special mention to the staff; especially Mr Kostas and his lovely receptionist who were so welcoming and helpful and really made our stay so easy and rather special! They helped us to book an ATV one of the days to explore the island, and a car for two days - all at good prices. They gave us great advice, helping to plan an unforgettable trip.

Couldn't be any more pleased with the hotel. Amazing staff, very helpful, always ready to provide anything you might need. I recommend the restaurant as well 👌🏼

Beautiful family Hotel in Santorini. Our first family vacation to Greece, and we will return for sure to Hotel Village Mathios in the future. Kostas and his staff were fantastic, our 7 day stay felt like home away from home. Welcoming, helpful, clean, enjoyable, and beautiful hotel. Delicious breakfast every morning, and delicious authentic Greek food during the day with drinks by the pool. The pool was especially nice for our kids. Our kids enjoyed entertaining other guests at breakfast, and during the day by the pool. Thank you Kostas for a great stay, you were always around smiling, and your receptionist, she's wonderful. Thank you for making our stay so memorable. Until next time, when we visit Santorini again. Colette and Rabih

The room is perfectly adequate and clean with daily cleaning and refreshment of linen. The TV provided was unexpectedly large but the channels were limited but then if I wanted to watch TV maybe I should stay home. The hotel complex is spacios and airy and kept to high standards. I chose the breakfast option and was more than satisfied with the vaiety that was offered, fresh every day. The hotel is not very central which was perfect for my needs with my places of immediate interest in short walking distance. Local travel facilities are outside the front door but car hire will comfortably extend your reach to the entire island

Very nice staffs. They offer car rental as well.amazing

The hotel is well located with a lovely salt water pool and pleasant rooms with very comfortable beds. Konstantinos is very welcoming and helpful. My brother made a late booking for the same hotel and Konstantinos upgraded his room at no extra cost so that he would be near to me. Akritori is a lovely hill top village with good reasonably priced tavernas away from the hustle and bustle of Fira and Oia. You still have the Caldera view across the road from the hotel and sea views from one of the honeymoon suites. The restaurant food at the hotel is also very good with the "Volcano" and "Meatballs" a personal recommendation. The buffet breakfast includes healthy choices, fresh water melon, beautiful bread and homemade cakes. My only criticism was the breakfast coffee which was too weak for my taste. By contrast the coffee served from the poolside bar was very good. I would definetely recommend this hotel and hope to go back.

It was an unforgettable vacation. I liked the food, the pool and restaurant.

Very friendly staff, made check in easy arranged an ATV rental for us the day we arrived better pricing than what i saw online, watched our bags for us until check in time, the ATV was brought to the hotel. Check out on my email was 12PM I was told to check out at 11:30 am, no biggie no late fees or anything were applied. They also arranged a taxi for us to the airport, very easy nice lobby to wait in. Food was over priced, but good.

Mr Kostas made our 4 night stay in Santorini a wonderful experience. We enjoyed his recommendation of renting a economy car for 3 days and a cruise to see the breathtaking caldera from the sea. Mr Kostas has such a passion for his hotelling business and taking great care of his guests. I really like his advice on what to visit and how to arrange the trip with a car. He is always there to answer questions and provide his expert advice. All the staff there are friendly and accomendating. We really enjoyed our time there. Thanks to Mr Kostas. The hotel is lovely and comfortable. I would rather stay in this hotel than staying in Oia or Fira because with a rental car you can go anywhere you want since it is a small island. Easy parking in front of the hotel. Strongly recommended if you like economical good hotel and if you like manual driving.

If your idea of a visit to Santorini is a quiet relaxing holiday with good local food and the opportunity to meet other like-minded people then Akrotiri is a good base, and Mathios Village Hotel a good choice. Staff friendliness & hotel cleanliness impeccable. Rooms not large but adequate. Restaurant, bar and pool very good. Meal & bar prices higher than in the village (250m away) but not excessively so. Travel advice, car hire, airport transfers, onsite from Mr Kostas. The only real criticism was a noisy room refrigerator - easily remedied by turning it off at night - didn't need cold gin before lunch most days!! Enjoyed my stay and would go back (preferably tomorrow, to get away from the Sheffield rain!).
