Wir hatten einen außergewöhnlich erholsamen und schönen Urlaub im Elea Terra Hotel. Hier stimmen nicht nur Preis-Leistung, sondern vor allem auch die Atmosphäre. Sehr zuvorkommendes Personal, frisch renovierte, saubere Zimmer, generell superschöne Räumlichkeiten, auch die Lobby mit Bar und Aufenthaltsbereich sehr gemütlich. Ein Pool mit Poolbar und wirklich sympathischer Bardame. Herrlich unser Blick aus dem Zimmer, auf Orangen und Zitronenbäume und die Berge und umliegende Landschaft. Die Lage war für uns perfekt, abseits vom Trubel, ca. 10 min zu Fuß schlendert man nach Matala, zum Strand, mit seinen berühmten Höhlen, vielen Cafés, Restaurants und regionalen Einkaufsmöglichkeiten wie Keramik, Olivenölprodukte oder Textilien. Viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten, wirklich günstige Autovermietungen überall, so viel, das es zu sehen gibt, so viele Wanderrouten. Mitte Mai ist gerade noch Vorsaison, es sind schon Touristen da, aber es ist noch nicht überlaufen. Das Frühstücksbuffet ließ keine Wünsche offen, viele Elemente wie die warmen Speisen haben täglich variiert, auch für Vegetarier war mehr als ausreichend Auswahl vorhanden. Alles wird frisch zubereitet und es wird sehr auf Qualität geachtet. Was man hier bemängeln kann: Dass der Urlaub nicht länger gedauert hat - wir werden sicher wieder kommen, dann aber auf jeden Fall mehr Zeit einplanen!

Det var en fornøjelse at overnatte på hotellet. Vi fik et dejligt opdateret værelse som man kunne mærke var opdateret til ny standard. Hotellet ligger i god gå afstand til byen og vi vil ikke tvivle med at bruge dem igen hvis vi skulle tilbage til Matala.

Sejour a Matala

Chambre , petit dej et piscine correct par contre Climatisation payante (7€/jour quand même) alors que ce n’était pas indiqué dans l’annonce , pas de shampoing à disposition , wifi peu fonctionnel dans les chambres…sans parler du papier toilette qu’on est obligé de mettre à la poubelle
