The room was comfortable and there was a lift to the top floor. The buffet breakfast was plentiful and delicious.

breakfast was boring and stale, the overall level of maintenance of the property creates a feeling in the back of your mind that is not very welcoming

location was nice, close enough to the beach (10min walk), swimming pool are was especially nice, rooms were ok

The hotel is located in a silent part of the village. There is a good breakfast. Our room was simple, but clean and comfortable enough. There is private parking at the territory of the hotel as well.

No real complaints.

The location was easily walkable to the beach and all the restaurants, shops located there. It had a lovely pool and pool bar. We enjoyed a number of cocktails prepared with finesse. Maria, who I believe was the owner of the hotel, was super funny and helpful. Her restaurant recommendations were right on. We had moved to this hotel after a poor experience at another hotel down the road. This hotel was such a contrast in hospitality. I would totally recommend it and would not hesitate to return.

We really liked the cleanliness of the place in general. A perfect and quiet location for total relax. The politeness and warmth of the staff.

We really liked the location. Very near to Matala beach and amenities. The hotel have a lovely mediterranean garden with a nice size pool. Perfect for family relax and fun. Also a nice spot to have a snack/lunch during the day, thanks to the lovely staff at the bar.

No proper glass in the room Glass can be in the bathroom for toothbrush, but not in the room for drink. Plastic cups are in room for drinks. Very ecological I must say.

Having to leave at the end of the holiday.

Maria has developed the perfect family-run hotel for the friendly resort of Matala. Staff committed, friendly, efficient, and 24 hour front desk. Bedroom compact, recently refurbished, comfortable bed, constant hot water, chilled fridge, perfect balcony view. All you can eat breakfast - plenty of choice including at least one new item every day (for 12 days!). Lovely pool with plenty of sun loungers and shaded areas. Great pool bar, with food service all day (not evening). Easy 10 minute walk to Matala with its square, shops, beach, and many excellent restaurants (music somewhere most evenings). Bus stop by hotel entrance, giving access to Heraklion, and to other nearby resorts; also plenty of pleasant local walking. (Note, in line with most Greek hotels, toiletries and hospitality tray are not provided.) Look no further.

Stayed in August 2022

the towels are not so clean, the bathroom need renovation, the area of sink is very narrow. Firstly you should pay and then you can see your room. Prefer to pay cash.

good location

Nothing!

How lucky were we to have found this GEM of a hotel in Matala!! Having looked round Matala nothing comes anywhere close to Elea Terra. It oozes Greek charm and the family and their colleagues who run the hotel are the nicest most welcoming people you could wish to meet. Absolutely nothing negative to say about this hotel just lots of positives. Here are the main bits: Cleanliness - the whole place, inside and out is super clean!! Location - steady safe and accessible 10min stroll into town all on the flat. The hotel is set in beautiful well tended grounds of apricot & citrus trees and flowers surrounded by Cretian mountains. The Pool - fabulous sized perfectly maintained pool with sunbeds & brollys and a great bar with fab music! Breakfast - served on the patio, tasty, freshly made and plentiful, with a lot of the produce being sourced very locally!! Warning: if you are looking for a big fat fry up of processed chemically induced food - this is NOT the breakfast for you!! Rooms - can only comment on our room which was fab, clean and comfortable. Yes, we had to throw toilet paper in the bin and the showers are not probably the conventional European type but hey, your in Greece! Get over it and enjoy! It’s no hardship!! It’s part of the Greek charm!! The Beds & Pillows - absolute 5* standard - Amazing, seriously!! Thank You so much to Maria, Vasiliki, George, Yannis and everyone else for being so professional, so friendly and for making our trip to Matala and Elea Terra so special! We will be back!!
