    Spectacular location on the beach with a nice patio to sit and enjoy the view. We used the patio to eat and enjoy drinks as well. Our host Eva was great. Excellent communication, met us at the unit to do a quick orientation. This is a compact, well-equipped unit we'd be happy to return to.

    Lovely bungalow room in a great location. The breakfast was a good addition and staff very welcoming. Matala was a short walk or drive and is the perfect mix of beach, history and relaxed night life. Loved the sunsets, restaurants and evening shopping in the lovely bazaar.

    We liked the studio apartment, it was modern, clean, had everything we needed. The location is amazing, right on the beach at sea’s edge, couldn’t have asked for more. we really enjoyed our stay. Best location in Matala for sure. The owner was available by phone when needed . Park at the big car park at the beach entrance, the apartment is in the same row as the beach restaurants.
