Hotel Mathios Village

While at this hotel, the staff were incredibly helpful. We made use of the travel agency inside the hotel for a day trip to the volcanic island and hot springs which was awesome (don't wear white or it'll stain orange). He also helped us book an engagement photo package with dinner which was specially decorated for us and amazing. Our photographer was also incredible and a hair dresser came to the hotel to do my hair as well. We also rented an ATV through the travel agent and ad it dropped off at the hotel for us immediately. We were provided with great directions and answers to all of our questions or issues as quickly as possible. Overall, the rooms were great, the location is great, the food and staff were amazing. We had a wonderful time.

OK for our two day stay. Very nice pool. Staff and owner a little bit oriented to sell "aditionals" (breakfast, wifi, boat tours, rent vtt, etc). Although is not really bad, you don't really feel welcomed when you don't buy... and the wifi didn't get to the room after paying 3 euros. But Even with the "add ons" it was inexpensive.

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. Costos was extremely helpful and arranged quad bike hire and a boat trip to the volcano which was our favourite part of our entire two week holiday. He was even kind enough to lend us some money when the local cash machine was broken. The restaurant at the hotel is family run and offers delicious food. It's also very convenient if you don't want to venture out of the hotel in the evening. Would highly recommend getting a quad bike whilst on the island...great fun. All in all an excellent stay.

The time we arrived the Hotel informed us that they upgraded our room to a pool side view. It was very kind of them to do that however the rooms were very very small, with hardly any space to move around. The bathroom can hardly fit one person and the water was hard (salty). The hotel property is good and the location is also good enough, however its quite far from port or Airport. Airport services are very expensive, they charge you around Euro 25 for a scooter which would be available for hardly EURO 18 in prime locations like Mykonos. The restaurant of the hotel serves some amazing food and the service of the restaurant is also very good. Do not go by the pictures, especially for the size of the rooms. Staff is very friendly.

If you are interested in this part of the island, I would highly recommend this family-run hotel. The staff is very accommodating, friendly, and helpful. The facilities are excellent--2 pools, and a very good restaurant on-site. On our stay, we had an early (5 am!) flight off the island--the manager went out of his way to locate a reliable car service for us, at a very reasonable price. The hotel is within walking distance to a few beaches, including the stunning Red Beach. The town of Akrotiri provides whatever shopping or eating needs you might have, although as mentioned the hotel restaurant is excellent with very good prices. I would highly recommend this hotel!

The hotel itself was pretty nice. Breakfast was good, the pool was nice and everything clean. The beds were uncomfortable. It's okay overall, our experience would have been a lot better if the receptionist wasn't so rude. We were really nice to her in the beginning but every time we asked her a question she would not try very hard to help us. She ripped up a receipt while looking at us with an offensive facial expression and said " I like doing that" and laughed. The manager of the agency who tries to sell you everything was nice and helpful however.

We had an amazing three-night stay at the Hotel Mathios Village. The staff were exceedingly friendly, hard-working, and able to arrange anything we needed! We rented a motorbike for two days, went on a tour of the hot springs, had an in-room massage, and amazing food from Mamma's Kitchen (on-site). The two pools were clean and relaxing and the room was very comfortable, clean, and quiet. I would recommend Hotel Mathios Village to anyone visiting Santorini!

Our host, Costos, was very friendly and welcoming. His family owns and runs the hotel. They first built a 10 room hotel with a pool, and later built another hotel next door, also with a pool! In between the two pools is a restaurant with floor to ceiling glass doors which open when it's hot. The matriach of the family cooks. The setting was idyllic and Costos created a sense of being part of a little community, with the way he chatted to everyone during the day and in the evening during meals and drinks. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!!

This hotel is very well kept and very clean, some of the rooms have village or sea views. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and we would be happy to stay there again. The island is very small, everywhere is close by, there is a bus stop outside, I would recommend a car for at least part of the trip. There is a small beach nearby, but a steep walk down, so again use a car. The hotel is small, with two pools, and a nice bar. The bar is shut from 15:00 to 18:30, there are no room facilities for tea or coffee. There is a small shop next door however. They did serve us a meal as we arrived during this closed time. The breakfast is adequate, but unvarying, some variety would be appreciated. We took towels, as did others, but they do hire out beach/pool towels. We went to Fira, the evening is best when the cruise ship people have left town. We preferred Oia to Fira though, if you have a car they are easy to get to. The beach areas of Perissa and Kamari are flatter for beaches etc. However they are nondescript usual Mediterranean stuff. The archaeological dig is near the hotel, and worth a visit to history buffs. The road opposite the hotel leads to the lighthouse, there is a restaurant on the way with glass front (it can be windy) the sunset is really good. As an aside, I have read a very few poor reviews of this hotel, this was not our experience, I do not understand these few reviews. It is not 5 star and should stand on its merits. I would be happy to return there.

Kostas was friendly and simply we could not have been luckier to have met such a wonderful person. He had many good suggestions at check-in and we were wise to listen. Our stay in Santorini was perfect, we only wish we had planned to stay longer. We love the south side of Santorini and would not think twice about staying in Hotel Mathios again. The rooms were comfortable and modern. The food was good and the pool was refreshing.
