“In my opinion, this family-run hotel offers a quieter experience, set just outside the immediate bustle of Matala's center. The owners seem particularly dedicated, and the proximity to the village means that restaurants and the beach are still easily accessible by foot. For those who value a personal touch alongside a convenient location, this hotel presents a compelling option.”
