Villas in Matala

"Very clean and convenient in a town very close to interesting ruins and pretty beaches. Loved the visit, and our host was very helpful."

"A beautiful villa in a great location. We were able to walk to the local village in less than 10 minutes which has great places to eat and a well stocked, small shop. Lovely view to the hills and sea with an easy drive to the nearest beach in 5 minutes. The villa is well maintained and really comfortable with a lovely outside area with large table and chairs for eating, plus great sunbeds and a plenty of shade. The pool is clean and great for a family. The teenage boys loved the downstairs...

"This was our second stay at Samitos though we have stayed at the sister villa Idi several times. Refurbished by the family whose parents and grandparents originally owned and lived there the layout and decor retains all the rustic charm but provides every possible modern comfort and convenience. The villa is spotless and is maintained by the housekeeper who lives on site. Mrs Rumy ( the housekeeper ) provides a personal cooking service if required and her dishes reflect all the local produce...

"Very friendly and hospitable host, nothing too much trouble, excellent recommendations for eating out, any problems were sorted. Spectacular views of mountains and surrounding countryside. Could even pick out The Palace of Faistos across the valley. Super pet friendly,( dogs and cats were adorable and no trouble). Pool great for cooling off, plenty of room, secure with electronic gates. In the countryside but on the edge of a village with amenities,( great bakers!). Larger supermarket not far...

"We had such a relaxing time on crete, a real holiday. We will be back!"

"We had a wonderful holiday in the Villa Michael and felt very comfortable. It is a quiet and nice place with a stunning view to relax."

"Very clean house and friendly owner with regular cleaning. Peaceful village with nice taverna. Great beaches within 15 minutes drive. Must-see town of Agia Galini within 25 minutes drive with super restaurants, cafes and shopping. Ideal accommodation for couples away from the crowds."

"Great place just 1 km from the great beach. Very few buildings around, only pure nature. Well equipped villa, spacious, with a cute garden. The only thing we lacked was a dishwasher."

"We had a wonderful time staying in this comfortable house with a spectacular view. The home was spotless and well equipped. This house is a distance from stores or restaurants so we were very appreciative that the host provided us with some basic groceries. The only problem area with this property is the showers. The downstairs one was unusable. There was no shower curtain and it flooded the bathroom if used. The other shower had a leak. It was clear they had attempted to fix it but it was still...

"Sehr schöne Villa, Ca. 200m von der leider noch hörbaren Nationalstraße entfernt. 2 Kritikpunkte: Geschirrspüler verdreckt, so dass das Geschirr nicht sauber wurde. Warmwasserboiler kaputt gegangen, schnell repariert und nach 2 Tagen wieder kaputt."

"We chose this villa because we wanted to experience the inland, more mountainous part of Crete. We did not anticipate how our host, Manolis and Mrs. Rumy would truly enhance our time spent at the Amari Villa. We have stayed at many VBRO properties in numerous European countries and the US; Manolis provided the most comprehensive briefing material of anywhere we have stayed!! He met us on arrival and helped us with our luggage; he then provided all the information we could have wanted and gave us...

"This was our first visit to Crete, the island is beautiful & the people warm & friendly. The views from the villa are stunning & watching the sun rise over the mountains in the mornings was one of our favourite times of the day. The location is spot on, Agia Galini is quiet in the day & comes to life at night time. There are plenty of restaurants and shops to browse around, the patisserie chocorello serves great coffee, pastries & cake & the people that run it are very friendly. The villa...

"Excellent family options in 3 units with the owner very willing to provide extras such as cots high chairs and stair gate as required."

"We loved our stay at Villa Clima. The location is excellent with great views of the olive groves, sea and coastline. It is situated in a very peaceful location with no nearby neighbours. The setting really does live up to the pictures and the surrounding sounds are of goats and cicadas! The house is very comfortable and on arrival there was a warm welcome from the owner and a basket of fruit, water, olive oil, bread etc. Although secluded it's only a short drive to the pretty seaside port of...

"We had a wonderful time here. Everything was perfect. The house, the pool and the whole interior design was just perfect. If we had any questions the whole team was always available. The cleaning service was much better than in a hotel. Thanks a lot for everything Lamprini!!"

"Das Haus hat die Erwartungen übertroffen. Traumhafte Lage über dem Meer und dem kleinen Örtchen Kerames. Man muss sich bewusst sein, dass das Haus abgelegen ist, aber mit dem Auto sind mehrere Traumstrände schnell zu erreichen. Der Besitzer ist sehr nett und unkompliziert. Wir können das Haus weiterempfehlen. Wer Ruhe und eine traumhafte Aussicht sucht, ist hier richtig. Das Haus und die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und im Garten gibt es mehrere schöne Sitzgelegenheiten."

"If you like an eagle eye’s view of mountains and the sea whilst being a 3 minute drive from the supermarket and restaurants in Pitsidia and 5 minute drive from the calm swimming bay of Komos then this is the place for you! Annette (host) and the locals are both friendly and amazingly helpful. We have had 18 trips to villas in and around the Med and we will be back!"

"The staff were very helpful and responsive. We stayed in a maisonnette and like some of the others have said the sea view is blocked partially by the buildings in front. The road that runs in front has parking but it's also noisy, and the balcony had no shade. The apartment was lovely but needed some maintenance - kitchen needed a bit of tidying and the shower head was hanging off. The apartment was also much smaller than the pictures, no breakfast bar and no actual eating table so we had to use...
