On top of everything, and the most important, Doria is an absolute gem - we stayed for one night and she welcomed us like we were going to stay for a month. Thanks a million Doria for your kindness, all the best for you and for your sweet family, too. Camille and Maël

    Spectacular location on the beach with a nice patio to sit and enjoy the view. We used the patio to eat and enjoy drinks as well. Our host Eva was great. Excellent communication, met us at the unit to do a quick orientation. This is a compact, well-equipped unit we'd be happy to return to.

    We liked the studio apartment, it was modern, clean, had everything we needed. The location is amazing, right on the beach at sea’s edge, couldn’t have asked for more. we really enjoyed our stay. Best location in Matala for sure. The owner was available by phone when needed . Park at the big car park at the beach entrance, the apartment is in the same row as the beach restaurants.
