Dimitrs resort was a great find. Friendly helpful staff,great swimming pool and ice cold beer.The rooms have a shady outside area(which is good when extremely hot).The room was clean and the a/c was cold. Good family rooms with 2 bed plus bunk beds. The evenings there are quiet and peaceful. Quick tip,there's no kettle in the room but ask and it's no problem to get 1. Also smart tv in the room which is a big plus. Dimitri himself is a good guy and will try to help you as much as he can.Thanks for the glasses.

This rental house has its unique peculiar style that well corresponds with the atmosphere of Crete and Matala, in particular. The rental rooms face a small courtyard with a lot of flowers that make you truly feel you're on holidays now! The rental house is located off the main road therefore, no need to worry about the traffic noise. As you enter the room (our was on the groundfloor), your enthusiasm might wane a little for the room interior somewhat contrasts with the flowery exterior. It appears dark and small, especially at first glance. Indeed, it isn't huge, however, the space available is sufficient for a couple who spends the whole day outside and the room uses just for sleeping at night. Actually, outside the room, in the courtyard, there is a small plastic set (a table and two chairs) available only for you, so you can have your morning (or evening) coffee there and enjoy the tranquility of Matala. The reception is located elsewhere (some 100 meters ahead the rental house, coming from the main road), in a separate house where the breakfast is serviced, as well. What makes this place particularly attractive is a nice swimming pool just nearby, which is open from 8 am until 9 pm. One of my favourite memories from Crete will be me enjoying the water there in late evening when it was already completely dark, and the pool and the lawns around it were illuminated by lamps... A small disadvantage of this place is its bad (actually quite absurd) marking. As to go down the road to Matala, you will not spot any signs guiding you to "Dimitris Villa". Actually, there is one, but visible only if you go... in the opposite direction (= as you leave Matala). Thus, you need to watch out carefully to find the villa, however, since Matala is not big, you'll find it sooner or later - no worries. Anyway, be sure not to go too far (to the centre of village) as the villa is located quite at the outskirts of Matala (some 1 km from the beach), on you left hand side as you pull into the town.

Returned here for the second year running, this time spending just over a week at the Dimitris villas A warm welcome from staff in the evening, and a comfortable room still with free air con, daily cleaning, free mosquito plug, plenty of storage and comfortable beds The ground floor did seem to suffer cockroaches and the wifi was only good in the pool area and very corner of the terrace. However that's normal for most of Crete and the least of concerns I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and hope to return again next year Matala. Το μεράκι !

Lovely family run accommodation. Breakfast was good, especially the bread. Nice pool.area which can get busy with not enough sunbeds. Rooms cleaned regularly and are a good size. Problems with checking in as arrived to find our room occupied so had to.use a different room and move next day. Our transfer driver though was very helpful. We asked to keep our room til the evening but unfortunately someone was booked in. We were however offered another room for €30 until we left. It's a shame it wasn't ready until well in the afternoon. Manager and staff were friendly.
