What's nearby

  • Above the beach at Matala, on the south coast of Crete, are a number of caves carved into the cliffside. During the Roman rule of Crete, the caves housed tombs. In the 1960s, the by-then empty caves hosted hippies who used them to camp out in. Matala still has a slight counter-culture feel to it.

Un petit paradis

Nous sommes arrivés dans le domaine de Dimitri et avons été accueilli avec une gentillesse extrême. Les chambres sont simples, la salle de bain date un peu mais tout est calme et très propre et la gentillesse des hôtes nous a donné l’envie d’y revenir.

Bel hôtel familial

Bel hôtel familial. Bon accueil et disponibilité de Dimitri. On apprécie le calme sur la terrasse au petit déjeuner ainsi que la possibilité de se rafraîchir dans la piscine avec souvent peu de monde voir personne : appréciable par rapport aux grands complexes. Très bon rapport qualité prix. La salle de bains serait certes à rénover, mais le prix ne serait pê plus aussi compétitif... Hôtel à 500m de la plage. Parking privé.

Sous prétexte du covid, repas du soir annulé à notre arrivée mais remboursé que 5€ par repas et par personne…. C’est à peine le surplus pour le petit déjeuner sur le site de réservation ! En réservant j’ai payé 15€. Une arnaque de 10€ par soir et par personne ! Le petit déjeuner n’est pas un buffet très peu de choix …..

Stayed at hotel in April, during shoulder season. Wonderfully quiet, tucked back off Main Street, but walking distance to Matala Beach. Older, small hotel, with all rooms having a door and window facing the outside, which we appreciated, for sunlight and fresh air. Though simple and dated, the room was comfortable and clean. Still early and chilly for swimming in the pool and the ocean, but we knew that would be the case. Nice Greek breakfast buffet served by staff. Try the mountain tea. Staff were wonderfully friendly and professional, making our stay enjoyable. We recommend short visits to the archaeological sites of Phaestos Palace and Gortyna European Law Code (and Temples of Egyptian and Apollo) in the earlymornings, then spending the afternoons at the beach.

Les chambres sont vieilles, surtout la salle de bain. Malgré que ce soit propre, elle ne donne pas envie de l'utiliser, et on pas reussi à avoir de l'eau chaude non plus. Hormis ca, le reste est ok.
