We loved our stay at matala blue! The apartment was generously sized and had facilities that worked well for us. It was very close to the beach and town and had a great view over the bay. Our host was very friendly and helpful, she and her husband came over to fix the shower head very quickly after it had broken, and even messaged to check that we were ok after the earthquake! I would recommend this apartment to all my friends and family.

Excellent stay with beautiful view and comfortable flat.

Great location and view. I don't think there is a better place in Matala with better view. The apartment is very comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen for 4 people. Large main room, proper bedroom and suitable bathroom, both rooms with air conditioning. In addition - shutters on the windows to limit the sun peeping in the morning. In the middle of our week's stay, cleaning and change of bed linen and towels. Very nice welcome fruit and cold water in the fridge. Fresh cretan olive oil is available in the kitchen. There is a set of toiletries in the bathroom. Terrace excellent and sheltered from the sun. In the whole of Matala (the old part) there is a total ban on cars, but Sophia's husband helped us with the luggage - thank you. Access to the location uphill through Greek narrow streets, but it has its charm :). Sophia, thank you for your warm welcome and care. We spent a wonderful week of vacation in Matala.

The house was perfect for us : a couple with our 11 year old son. Its location is just perfect : right above a bunch of bars and restaurants. The view from the balcony and from the inside of the apt (including the bedroom) is breathtaking. The view of the matala cliff and the sea made our evenings and early mornings just magic. The convenient proximity of the restaurants and bars might have its downsize for those with light sleep : we could hear a little bit of noise coming from the bars (this was not an issue for us). The check in process was easy : we met with a woman who gave us the keys and guided us to the appartement.

Not the experience that I expected

The location is nothing but fantastic. The balcony, overlooking the bay beneath, awesome. The bay itself is a crystal-clear natural pool, just perfect for relaxed swimming.
