Located 12 km from the ancient city of Phaestos, family-run Dimitris Villa Hotel is on the coast of Messara bay, surrounded by trees, just 8 minutes from Matala beach.

Great little place! Lovely pool and cute apartments with great TV and shower facilities. Balconies get the evening sun. Plenty of parking which is hard to find in Matala. Superb location. The pool area is lovely and calm, nice little bar and breakfast was great! A very very short walk to the action. Matala is a very small place. Superb price and very lovely staff!

    Such a beautiful little seaside village that comes to life at night. Could have stayed longer and enjoyed the views, vibes and people. Also we found the pricing cheaper for food and drinks. I must stop

    The room was clean and relatively new looking.

    The room was clean and relatively new looking. There is no wifi or tv in room. They have wifi at the bar and should be able to get it to rooms with routers but have not bothered. The bed was a disaster, it was hardest bed I have ever tried to sleep on. My wife and I both hardly slept and had sore back in the morning. We have been travelling for over 5 weeks had no problem with any other beds.

    There is a great vibe at Matala that differs from the rest of Creta. The hippie feel is true. We caught live music the night we were there and it was the best moment. This along with the red beach - strongly recommend.

    Matala is a tourist hot spot.

    Matala is a tourist hot spot. So a lot of restaurants there, lot of tourist shops with souvenirs and a lot of people. The beach itself is not that big, but it was nice though. I mean it really depends on what you are looking for. I am more fond of less crowded and less touristy places, so perhaps next time I would look for something more matching my preferences. On the other hand there is nothing wrong about Matala at all. All the people there are very friendly. Really it depends on what you prefer...

    Matala is a quiet little town with not a lot of traffic, music or noise. You come here to relax. If you like naturist beaching this place is definitely for you (Red beach and Komos beach). Moreover, Matala can be a good base for visiting the area (you have to rent a car or a bike).

    Beautiful little hippie Place with lots of Restaurants, Bars and Cafés. The beach in matala, the red beach and the caves of matala are a must see. When you are in matala I would recommend the Restaurants Georges Yard, Plaka and Hakuna matata.

    Wonderful rooms and terrace area, simple and comfortable. The owner is very kind and helpful, giving me a welcome coffee and even fixing me up when I injured myself! The rooms can be cleaned daily. I had everything i needed and was very happy here- ended up extending for a few days! The location is quiet and good (especially if you've rented a car, it's a 1 minute drive to town... although in high season i imagine once you've found a parking spot, you won't be much closer than the hotel!) There was a kitchen available onsite.

    Despite of the apartment is located next to the main road , the location is very good, it takes around 6-7 minutes walk to get to the beach and the center of Matala. It has free parking. The rooms are simple, but you find everything what is necessary for your stay and comfort ( towels, air condition, plates to eat, enough space for your luggages). The bathroom is spacious. The owner is flexible with the arrival time, that we highly appreciated.

    Absolutely stunning view from the room! I screamed from joy when we entered the room. It was like being in an aquarium :))) Hanging high over the beach, view of the whole village and the bay, sunset, airy, the studio was a very nice size, open space with a living room part and a lovely kitchen, huge fantastic fridge.

    The hotel is 5 stars in terms of cleanliness and peacefulness! The breakfast is generous and is made home (jams, cakes and honey)! We received a warm welcome. It is located at 1.4km from the beach and the restaurants. It is an easy flat walk. Matala is a great place: absolutely beautiful and chill !

    Great location next street to the very center of Matala, room was cool without having to use the air-condition. The beaches are close and Hotel Sofia has umbrellas for the the guests, so you don't have to pay for one at the beach every day. Γιώργος is an excellent host, we had a great Raki!
