Pros:

Perfekte Lage, ruhig und doch zentral. Das Personal sehr lieb und zugewandt. Leckere, diverse Frühstücksoptionen möglich, auf der Terrasse, hier kann man auch sonstige Getränke tagsüber haben, für die Pause zwischendurch. Der Kaffee zum wach werden war soo lecker. Parkplätze sehr nah gegen Gebühr. Älteres Haus aber mit viel Charme. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt , danke für alles.

Cons:

Etwas hellhörig im Haus, mit Ohrenstöpsel kein Problem.

excellent compromis
Pros:

L'accueil est adorable, la responsable toujours là et disponible, souriante. La situation de l'appartement est parfaite, en plein coeur du village et à deux pas de la mer, très jolie vue sur la grande terrasse. L'appartement correspond aux photos.

Cons:

La terrasse est partagée, un monsieur passait étendre son linge pendant qu'on bronzait. 4ème étage sans ascenseur mais pas gênant pour nous. Et ce n'est pas la faute de l'hôtel car tout Matala était concerné, mais pas d'eau le premier jour.

Pros:

If you want to immerse yourself in the quiet, peaceful, and authentic side of Greece, I highly recommend this hotel. We spent two wonderful days there. The authenticity of the place truly impressed us. The breakfast was excellent, and the hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming. The sea is just a 3-minute walk away at a leisurely pace. I hope we’ll come back someday for sure ☺️
