Keep it quiet - an excellent relaxed down-time hotel in a lovely chilled village resort location.

Excellent family run hotel, spotlessly clean, perfect pool, and good all-you-can-eat breakfast with variation each day. Good pool bar with interesting vibe. Efficient management duo. Short walk to Matala with beach, many good restaurants and café bars, and live music somewhere most evenings.

The perfect relaxation spot for hotel, pool, and access to Matala's beach and restaurants.

Caringly run family hotel which has become our regular relaxation place. Good room with excellent balcony view of countryside, comfortable bed, good fridge and air conditioning. Good breakfast with daily variety, excellent pool, excellent wifi, and good location. Staff and cleanliness faultless.

Firm favourite family hotel.

Good setting on the edge of Matala, with superb pool and within easy walking distance of beach, village, and many good local restaurants. Bus stop at gate giving services to other locations and beaches. Room modest but quiet and comfortable, with good hot water, fridge, and wifi. Balcony with rural view. Spotless, and staff excellent. Buffet breakfast with good choice of cold and hot items.

A perfect week in a beautiful place- just what we needed. Thank you!

Perfect location- lovely garden and views. Very peaceful but a short walk from the centre. Friendly welcoming staff. Excellent breakfast. Great pool and seating areas. Comfortable room- very clean- fridge very useful and hairdryer. Bus stop outside.

Warmth of welcome matches the climate - lovely family hotel providing scope for full relaxation.

Returning again, feeling at home from the moment of entering the door. Honest, caring family hotel with excellent quality facilities, but no unnecessary frills. Welcome genuinely warm. Rooms adequate, comfortable beds, effective bathrooms with good hot water, perfect wifi. Balcony with plenty of space to sit out. Perfect pool and pool area, nice pool bar with snacks. Easy 10 minute walk to Matala and its many good eating places, and beach. Bus stop at hotel entrance for wider exploration.

Just perfect family-run high standard hotel for the friendly resort of Matala.

Maria has developed the perfect family-run hotel for the friendly resort of Matala. Staff committed, friendly, efficient, and 24 hour front desk. Bedroom compact, recently refurbished, comfortable bed, constant hot water, chilled fridge, perfect balcony view. All you can eat breakfast - plenty of choice including at least one new item every day (for 12 days!). Lovely pool with plenty of sun loungers and shaded areas. Great pool bar, with food service all day (not evening). Easy 10 minute walk to Matala with its square, shops, beach, and many excellent restaurants (music somewhere most evenings). Bus stop by hotel entrance, giving access to Heraklion, and to other nearby resorts; also plenty of pleasant local walking. (Note, in line with most Greek hotels, toiletries and hospitality tray are not provided.) Look no further.

The hotel is located in a silent part of the village. There is a good breakfast. Our room was simple, but clean and comfortable enough. There is private parking at the territory of the hotel as well.

This hotel had a fun vibe and totally exceeded our expectations.

The location was easily walkable to the beach and all the restaurants, shops located there. It had a lovely pool and pool bar. We enjoyed a number of cocktails prepared with finesse. Maria, who I believe was the owner of the hotel, was super funny and helpful. Her restaurant recommendations were right on. We had moved to this hotel after a poor experience at another hotel down the road. This hotel was such a contrast in hospitality. I would totally recommend it and would not hesitate to return.
