Mathios Village

"Beautiful hotel. Very very clean. Nice comfortable rooms. The owner Kostas Papalexis was so warm, friendly and a lot of fun. Very knowledgeable. His Mama cooked a wonderful feast for us. He planed a dinner for us in Athens that was incredible. We are a large group of women. We were treated like queens. We eat amazing Greek food, sang and danced. Great entertainment. He arranged a tour for us in Santorini. So fun. We were all over the island. We did everything. Thank you Kostas and sweet Mama"

"On checking in at the hotel Mathios, I was informed I had been upgraded to a superior room, which immensely pleased me. I found my room to be a decent size. It was clean and the bathroom and shower were pleasing on the eye. I found the staff to be very pleasant, helpful and courteous. The hotel was a short walk to the centre of Akroteri where there were a number of restaurants and tavernas. Kostas, the owner and manager of the hotel, was quite a character who was keen to advise and provide help in places to visit and activities to undertake. I was very satisfied with the comfort and quality of my room and the frequency of cleaning of the room. A good sized pool was the centrepiece of the hotel. I didn't hire a car, but tended to walk locally to the village and jog to the sea, a 15 minute run. There are few pavements and so special precautions were needed for walking. A continental breakfast was provided by the hotel which I found satisfactory . The village provided a variety of Greek tavernas for lunch and dinner, as well as the hotel itself. I particularly enjoyed the wines, especially white wines. The trips provided by Kostas were all excellent. He was particularly keen to identify what your requirements were so that he could suggest most relevant trips. He excelled at this, and he was so keen for you to have a good time. As I am keen on wine, he provided trips to a few wineries for wine tasting, and a most interesting visit to a wine museum. An island cruise on a catamaran was a highlight, to include a spectacular sunset."

"We have just had a wonderful week staying at this beautiful hotel. We stayed in room 38, which is one of the traditional suites on 2 levels, it was perfect - very modern bathroom, very comfortable bed and lovely balcony overlooking the pool. The owner, Konstantinos, was there to welcome us when we arrived. He is so enthusiastic about the island and gave us lots of ideas of places to visit. The breakfast was great and the restaurant food was delicious. The whole complex was spotlessly clean, the staff were all so friendly and worked really well as a team. The pool area was very pretty with plenty of sunbeds and parasols. Konstantinos organised car hire for 3 days and we drove to Fira, Oia, Megalochori, Pirgos, Perivolos beach as well as down to the lighthouse at Akrotiri to see the sunset. The island is so compact that the furthest we drove was only 40 minutes. Akrotiri is very pretty, it’s a small town with a few restaurants - we ate in a different one each night. Would recommend the hotel restaurant and also going up to the cafe in the castle to watch the sunset and eat delicious tapas style food. Thank you Mathios Village - we will be back!"
