“Perfect location. Great for couples!”
You cannot be better located to experience the heart of Matala with everything at your feet. This is a perfect stay for a couple with a nice bright room and lovely balcony which is in the shade in the afternoon. You have a bathroom and shower on both floors , and the downstairs shower with a screen. You are literally in the centre so can step out into the energy of the lively atmosphere.

Perfect place, so quiet but right in the hub of a most delightful village. We stayed an extra night as we loved it so much. Good walk to the Red Beach and so much choice for dining out. Definitely worth the trip!

the place itself is perfect. next to the center of Matala and a few minutes walk from the beach. bed was very comfortable, one of the best I slept whilst on holidays. it also has two toilets and two showers which is very good especially when families or group of friends travel together. everything is new and very clean. I totally recommend it.
