Beautiful property in a fabulous location. The main bedroom especially, the bathrooms, the pool, the balcony, even the roof under the stars! All superb. A sense of luxury just 1 min walk from all the charm that Matala has to offer. Nikos and his mother were also incredibly warm, friendly, helpful and professional. Great communication throughout.

What a gem of a place!! Wonderful 2 bedroom house in the heart of Matala, with parking and a fabulous host! The house was immaculate with plenty of facilities and the beds were very comfy. Bars, shops and restaurants right on your doorstep and the beach less than 5 mins away. There is a bar next door that did live music but with the windows closed you could hardly hear it, however we sat on the balcony watching and got to know the owners of the bar who were also lovely. The host was very attentive and only a text message away. All in all an amazing place and fab village to stay in, would 100% recommend!

Boasting mountain views, Castri House features accommodation with a private beach area and a balcony, around a few steps from Matala beach. The air-conditioned accommodation is 1.3 km from Red Sand Beach.

The best, I repeat, the best location in Matala. A view like from an eagle's nest on the bay, cliff, town. Access to the city beach 2.5 minutes (exit from the beach to the facility 4.5 minutes). You can walk between neighboring houses only in flip-flops and with a beach towel. The most wonderful beaches before and after the departure of guests who arrive from Heraklion between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. The perfect price-quality ratio. Nice gifts during your stay from the owners. Excellent contact with the caretaker of the facility, Mrs. Eva. Discreet cleaning of the facility. Moments spent on the terrace - priceless, not convertible into any currency. Live music (blues, reggae and local) coming discreetly from 21:00 - 23:00. A table, dinners, a bottle of chilled wine and sunsets and nights with the stars. The sound of the waves coming from the bay. What more do you want? It is worth staying in this place for at least 5-7 days to catch the atmosphere of the place. Beautiful Red Baach beach (15 minutes to and 25 minutes back) accessible in swimwear. Must visit Mojito Jannis Red Beach and ... don't believe the negative reviews. He is a wonderful, sensitive man running his own business. If you give kindness, it will come back to you in greater quantity. You get everything in the facility: silence, music, crystal sea, kindness, the ability to do your own cooking, swimming, jogging, walking, bathing and wonderful moments with a loved one.

    This is a beautiful apartment in a great location. Probably the most romantic flat above a kebab shop that you will ever find - with a wonderful balcony and terrace overlooking the sea. Angelika was a fantastic host, making us feel very welcome and incredibly generous too.

    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.
