Hotel Mathios

We had an amazing time staying at this hotel with our lovely host Kostas and his team. The hotel is impeccably clean, the beds are very comfortable and the rooms have air conditioning, there is also an onsite restaurant and swimming pool. This part of Santorini is quiet but very near two beaches. The Caldera beach is just a short walk away across the road with a taverna that has amazing views of the island, then you can also walk through Akrotiri to a second beach on the other side of the island. Breakfast was great, lots of different selections and I really recommend the spanakopita are delicious and as much coffee as you want. A big shout out to the room cleaners who do an amazing job. Every member of Kostas's staff is friendly and greet you with a smile and a "kalimera" everyday. If you want a holiday away from crowds, but just 20mins from the capital and €1.80 on the bus, this place is for you. Akrotiri village is just a 5 minute walk away with traditional Greek tavernas that are so much cheaper than Fira. A supermarket for all your basic supplies is literally next door. We had an absolutely wonderful time I thoroughly recommend this little piece of paradise for singles or couples.

Lovely clean room with fresh towels every two days. Breakfast good continental. No fresh fruit. Pool unfortunately not heated but I guess in summer that wouldn’t be so noticeable as it is now in October. The gardens and outside areas are beautifully kept and the owner is very helpful with tours. Safe is not in room but available at reception for extra charge. Good air con!

My partner booked this hotel for our week long stay with our 3month old baby. The booking was made for a couple plus a baby, and the booking confirmation clearly states that our baby stays for free. When I emailed the hotel to request the cot bed for the room I was told it was €210 (usually €290 apparently but discounted for me) for the week for the cot bed, in CASH payable at check in. We didn't pay and made other plans for our baby's sleeping arrangements. Our booking was for the tradition suite, where the bed was upstairs. The ceilings are low and dome shaped (we are both tall and both bumped our heads several times), the beds were small (standard double bed and not the large double bed as stated on the booking confirmation) but most disappointingly the mattresses were very firm and not at all comfortable. We placed the spare blankets on the mattress in an effort to make it more comfortable. In summary we had a better sleep on the beach chairs than we did in the bed. I was very happy to get home to my own bed. Breakfast was very average. There was fresh tomatoes and feta but no fresh fruit, just tinned peaches and no variety, the breakfast was the same each morning. The positives? The hotel was very clean and very well maintained. The location was great once you had a rental car. It had so potential to be a fabulous hotel but unfortunately I would have to say I wouldn't stay here again. The location was great but I would look to another hotel in that area.

Had a great week, facilities are excellent, room was wonderful overlooking pool. Costas was very welcoming and gave good advice for places to visit. Hotel is ideally located, quiet but 5 mins from village. A big thank you to great staff! Nick & Michelle (#53)

Stayed here July had a wonderful stay rooms are immaculately cleaned and hotel/pool area very clean Kostas and his staff are very accommodating. We hired a car that Kostas arranged and it was at the hotel within a hour booked a late check out room ready within 30 minutes Kostas is very friendly which may come over as pushy as in other reviews but as long as you have the banter with him and don't forget to haggle.All in all a wonderful stay in a lovely hotel on a beautiful island

The hotel is great either way a very nice sea water pool and my room was clean with a balcony overlooking a nice little garden and the sea at a distance. The room was very quiet and comfortable. The food proposed at the hotel restaurant was very good and the breakfast buffet was really good with local foods. Kostas the hotel owner gave me really good advice as how to organize my stay at best in Santorini, organized my car rental at a very good price. On my demand Kostas also did a fantastic job for a car rental and 5 hotel nights for me in Mykonos and then 2 hotel nights in Athens. The price of the hotel room in Mykonos was much lower than what I expected it to be and the hotel was great ! I had a fantastic stay there ! Kostas thank you so much for all the hard work you achieved to make my stay in Greece the best I could dream of !

Thanks for the best holidays of my life. My friends and I spent five nights at your hotel and had a great time . We had a nice room with a large balcony and a lovely view to the pool. Everything was sparkling clean and the food was delicious as it was homemade. The staff were always helpful and ready to fulfill all our needs.

The hotel is spotlessly clean. The bed was up some dangerously steep steps and was very hard so I slept mostly on the sofa but the room was Lovely. There unfortunately was no atmosphere and I think they are missing a trick. The food was not very good so we had to keep going out to eat, it would have been nice to have stayed at the hotel in the evening with nice food and entertainment but alas. We were relieved we only booked bed and breakfast. It is in a good position for getting around the island. Despite the food etc its a good base. If you are not good at planning they will organise things for you at a cost, you can probably do these things cheaper yourself but it was convenient for us. Lovely island.

We promised to return when we were in Santorini for a short stay during our honeymoon 40 years ago. This time we wanted to explore outside of Fira. We chose Hotel Mathios Village for the location near the beaches and the prehistoric site of Akroti. We were able to stay in the wonderful romantic room above the pool with a view of the Aegean a mile down the hill. We preordered flowers and wine for our arrival and received a beautiful bouquet very romantic. We were able to conveniently hire a car delivered to the hotel in the morning then explored all of the fantastic villages and beaches of this side of Santorini with the hotel giving excellent advice of the highlights. A breakfast is offered daily. The pool area is very comfortable. Everything is spotless clean. We enjoyed the poolside restaurant both nights. The house wine and the seafood dishes were excellent. All of the staff were very kind and helpful. Thank you Mathios Village for a wonderful 2nd honeymoon!
