AKTI Homes Matala, hotel in Matala

AKTI Homes Matala provides a hot tub, as well as air-conditioned accommodation with free WiFi in Matala, 90 metres from Matala beach.

Fantastic location and facilities are perfect for 2 couples or an extended family. Pictures are precise, but note that there are 3 different apartments with different terrace setups. I believe that 1&2 are the same, though. Maria is lovely and I really appreciated the efficient communication before and during our stay. Great getaway for 2-3 nights (or possibly longer) in wonderful Matala. Would recommend and love to return myself.

We loved everything about this little gem. It’s tucked away but at the same time in the middle of the town. The beds were extremely comfortable, the terrace gorgeous, the kitchen perfect, there’s nothing more I can really say. Just perfect. Our hosts were also extremely friendly and couldn’t do more for us. Thank you for a wonderful stay & we can’t wait to come back and see you again!

Dimitris Villa Hotel, hotel in Matala

Located 12 km from the ancient city of Phaestos, family-run Dimitris Villa Hotel is on the coast of Messara bay, surrounded by trees, just 8 minutes from Matala beach.

Lovely little property with a nice swimming pool and bar. Breakfast was offered in the morning for an additional charge. The accommodation is traditional village room type but perfectly comfortable and clean. Dimitris, the host and owner, really makes you feel at home and makes sure that guests are comfortable and happy. I would recommend the property for short and even longer term stays in the area.

    Great location - very close to the sea, to all restaurants and shops. Greatest host!! - very helpful - you get everything you might need. There is always an access to drinking water, and a nice breakfast included. They also provide beach towels, umbrellas etc. They organized a taxi transfer way cheaper than you can get at the airport. One day there was a party at nearby café, but the music stopped at midnight, and other than that it was surprisingly quiet.
