Olympias Studio "Pitsidia", hotel in Matala

Featuring mountain views, Olympias Studio "Pitsidia" offers accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 2.1 km from Kommos Beach.

Dedicated parking inside the property, the studio reflects the pictures and is very cosy. Water and fruit in the fridge are a definitive plus. Coffee and tea facilities. A small kitchen is available, but we didn't use is as we were surrounded by great restaurants only few steps away. Mike and Olimpia are perfect hosts, giving you tips on what to see on a printed sheet. Perfect German organization! :) The place is quite, surrounded by plants, flowers and orange trees. Waking up with the smell of Frangipani and Jasmine from the balcony is priceless!

Eleni and Mixalis are wonderful hosts. Breakfasts were exceptional. My room was comfortable and spacious, with both a private balcony and a terrace. The bathroom was one of the best I had in Greece.

Villa Costas - Popi, hotel in Matala

Offering a garden and mountain view, Villa Costas - Popi is located in Sívas, 5.6 km from Phaistos and 8.5 km from Museum of Cretan Ethnology.

The guest house is slightly out of the centre but is well signposted. There is plenty of parking opposite, and it is an easy walk into the town if you want to have a meal or go shopping; The family, Michaelis, Georgia and their mum, are delightful and do everything to make your stay enjoyable. This is a real family home and very local in style and facilities. so do not expect matching furniture or a pillow menu! This is simple but honest accommodation, with hot water, excellent WiFi and a delicious breakfast using local ingredients including fruit and jam from their own garden. There is a sense of calm and peace, and the feeling that the cares of the world can wait until tomorrow. The guest house does not provide evening meals but recommended a visit to Mr Mo's tavern in the village which is owned by Georgia's husband. We had a tasty dinner at a very fair price and would recommend other guests to try this tavern on the main square, even though it has plenty of competition, the service was friendly and efficient. It would be a pleasure to return to both the guest house and the restaurant.

    This is our fourth time in Matala and fourth time at Hotel Neos. Cornelia and Michael are gentle and attentive hosts, always happy to have a talk with you. Breakfast is ok, rooms are tidy and clean. The Hotel is close to Matala centre and the beach (going on foot) in a very quiet position.

    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.

    A great location with a superb view over the gulf of Matala! Could be the best spot of the village, just a few steps from the beach.The studio was clean, spacious, beautifully decorated. Dimitris is a great host, helpful, friendly and willing to go the extra mile! He even offered us a really late check-out as we had an evening flight! I highly recommend this place!
