“Comfortable Villa with amazing views.”
+Views from the Terrace over the beach were amazing. Plenty of equipment in the kitchen and comfortable beds. We had a nice surprise to find good wifi as the write up said no wifi available. Soap was also provided. There was also a complimentary carafe of Raki which was also a nice surprise. Plenty of lovely restaurants and wine bars in Matala town and live music. The music could be easily heard from the Villa's terrace until 12 midnight.
−The information didn't say there were steep slopes and over 50 steps to get from Matala town and beach to the Villa. It was worth the effort but people need to be fit and mobile to walk from the town/ beach to the Villa as you cannot park a car near the Villa. The nearest Car parking is approximately 800 metres and 4 Euros a day. Free parking is further away.

“Exceeded expectations. Wonderful moments, kindness, sun, warm wind, sea and terrace, terrace, terrac”
+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 yo
−I didn't like how time passed so quickly in this place.

+The location was amazing, the view of the beach, caves and surrounding area was absolutely stunning, lovely sunsets and it was so relaxing to sit on the veranda and chill looking over the village, definitely one of the best points of this villa. The owners were very hospitable bringing cake and olive oil and Eva was so helpful and made herself available whenever needed, we will definitely be re-booking, thank you for a fabulous holiday.

“Une envie de s'attarder constamment sur la terrasse”
+Une vue magnifique, une tranquillité tout en étant dans le cœur de Matala. Pas de vis à vis avec le voisinage
−Absence d'eau chaude une seule journée, une réseau d'eau perturbé par quelques présences d'air. Quelques lampes d'ambiances seraient un plus ainsi qu'un petit canapé/banquette
