Very nice Owners of a nice Hotel. Seems the entire Family helps out. That’s makes the stay something special. Fantastic breakfast in a brilliant ambient. The rooms are a little worn, especially the bathroom is, but that’s noting severe…. everything is clean and tidy. We got our own parking space underneath grape wine. There is also a nice and tidy pool with a well kept lawn. I fully recommend this hotel!

We had fabulous two weeks in this fine hotel and the perfect surroundings of Matala. Especially we enjoyed the strong and smart personality of the owner. During our stay we had a lot of nice little encounters with her, and Maria proved to be a perfect host: she knew everything about Crete and the area in the south which we loved not only because of the good weather. She supported us, no matter if it was about the little things of everyday life, good restaurants, or human matters. She‘s perfect in balancing the private and the professional. Our room was constantly kept clean. The swimmingpool: nice, though obviously second choice for us lovers of the open sea. So, thanks to Maria‘s wonderful character, we even enjoyed one or two rainy evenings in the hotel space. The massage offered was professional and first class, the breakfast a perfect start of our days there - and we know exactly where we wil go when we return - hopefully soon! Highly recommended. Elke and Michael!

We started on the wrong foot at Elea Terra, when the lady at the reception asked us to pay extra for the air conditioning that was included in our price. Apparently there is a problem with booking .com , where it simply doesn't say anywhere that air contidioning costs extra. But after the problem was solved we had a fantastic time there. The rooms are basic, but big enough and good enough. The pool area is fantastic, with real grass, and very calm. The buffet breakfast was excellent considering the price of the rooms. We stayed at more expensive places with much smaller buffets. And the location was perfect: walking distance to the beach, but distant enough so we didn't have to deal with the crowd and noise that goes with it. I highly recommend Elea Terra! It's great value for money.

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!!

Very limited family pension for a three-star rating. The reception is correct on the first day. Breakfast without olive oil even though there is feta, olives, cucumbers!!!! But who puts olive oil in a Greek salad? Barely understandable for a 3 star hotel. You almost have to raise your voice to be heard and strangely the next day I was able to have olive oil without too much difficulty. Orange juice seems to be of fairly chemical origin and very ordinary.... Paid air conditioning!!!! No shower gel and shampoo, a round of soap that doesn't lather. Tourist tax at €1.5 per day and per person while on the other hotels on our self-tour it was €1 apart from Heraklion €1.5 but it was Heraklion and a 4 star. In short, there are certainly better places in Matala. This establishment does not live up to its ranking. There are certainly much better options not far away.

Recommended structure, close to the sea and very quiet. I recommend it to everyone for its tranquility, cleanliness and availability of all the staff. Internal parking space. Definitely a place to wander

Exquisite welcome from Marianne, speaking French, among other languages, and always taking great care to satisfy us, with a friendly and responsive family team. A big thank you to her and all her staff. A spacious family room, a very beautiful outdoor space with a real large swimming pool, a garden and an outdoor bar in the shade of the lemon trees… Enchanting stay during the Matala artistic festival… we therefore highly recommend it!

Thank you Maria and the new team for your nice and friendly welcome and delicious breakfast. Also a big compliment to the daughter who, at her young age, provides customers with tasty snacks and drinks at the pool bar with a large and fun swimming pool. As always, the rooms are neatly maintained and provided with new towels and bed linen on time. This hotel with breakfast is definitely recommended for anyone who likes peace and quiet and for the others among us, Matala is a nice and cozy town with many restaurants and cozy shops. As far as we are concerned, this hotel is definitely recommended for price and quality and the hostess Maria and her team are ready to give everyone a peaceful and pleasant stay, even during the busy festival week. Some reviews here do not always reflect the truth, but we are definitely looking forward to a 4th, 5th, ... holiday at Elea Terra.
