    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating

    Excellent views and a friendly atmosphere make the Matheos Studios stand out from the crowd. TripAdvisor reviewers give it a big thumbs up, too, showering it in five-star reviews.

    The Matheos Studios are in the tiny village of Piskopiano, which is set on the slopes of Mount Harakas. Despite its tiny size, the place is a bit of a foodie haven, with plenty of tavernas and bars.

    There are 14 studios and apartments, and the whole place has a friendly feel. That’s largely thanks to the owners – George, Kosta and Helen – who go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

    Fantastic Getaway
    01 Nov , 2019 Princetours
    From the minute we arrived at 10:15pm we were greeted by Matthew and made to feel very welcome by him and other guests sat by the pool side bar. He showed us to our studio apartment which was more than adequate for our needs. It was clean and equipped with a fridge, kettle, cooking facilities, a safe deposit box and a lovely shower room. Matthew. Helen and George all made us feel welcome and Matthew was always happy to entertain and order any food we requested. They provided advice on great places to eat in Piskopiano, and we often met up with other guests at restaurants during our stay, one of our favourites being Aposperida, we often ate and drank there, the waiters were always welcoming, entertaining and attentive to your requests even regarding portion size! Their portions are very large so great if you have a large appetite. We attended along with other guests for the Friday BBQ at the Matheos studios, everyone attended, there was a great atmosphere, the hosts were fantastic, fabulous food, great entertainment, nothing was too much trouble for them, they made sure everyone was included. The accommodation is in a great location, just off the main street through Piskopiano, if you turn to the right you can walk to Ano (Old) Hersonissos, this is a lovely place to explore with a choice of restaurants in the Square to visit. If you go to the left and walk along the main street of Piskopiano you find restaurants, taverns, gift shops and endless interesting buildings to view and explore. You can continue walking until you come to Koutouloufari, another traditional Cretan village or head down the hill to Costal Hersonissos to experience a busier environment offering everything you would expect of a town and more, offering a fabulous harbour and seafront bars and restaurants, train rides and other excursions. During our visit we were lucky enough to see Sea Turtles swimming around close to the seafront bar we sat in. All in all great place, great food, great apartment, great hosts, great guests, great atmosphere and definitely a hotel I would return to. Thanks Matthew, Helen and George (Buddy & Bailey) for making our stay memorable. We will visit again, Sharon & Chris xx

    We visited last year in August and had the best holiday ever, as a result we decided to re book; we weren’t disappointed with our return trip! A wonderful welcome from Matthew and a drink was in our hands within minutes! It was so lovely to see Helen, George & Matthew again who will do anything to make your stay wonderful and happy. Our room was a one bedroom apartment. It was immaculate, comfortable. The room had a lovely balcony, a beautiful view of the town and sea beyond, we spent many an hour on that balcony. The room had plenty of storage, hangers and pots n pans etc. The bathroom was beautiful with a rain shower, always hot water and a good flow. We had a delicious breakfast most days cooked by the lovely Helen and her chips are to die for! We stayed by the pool a few days, there were always sun beds, no issues of people saving them. The weather in October was super 25-30c most days. Alcoholic drinks there are all premium brands and reasonably priced. The BBQ is a MUST! Please don’t miss this, it’s gone cooked and absolutely delicious. It’s also a time to chat to other guests as you all sit together. Matthew is the ‘Fun Coordinator’ we loved his 5 Second Rule game, such a laugh! It was my birthday while I was there and Matt colluded with my other half and a bowl of ice water while on my sun bed was a birthday treat 😂 I’ll get you back Matt! The USP of this place is that you’re made to feel at home and part of the family; it’s a ‘good crack’ as they say. Clearly they have got things just right as people return year after year. Thank you Mathew, George and Helen for a lovely stay at your beautiful apartments. See you again sometime! Raych n Darren.

    From the minute we arrived we were made to feel very welcome by all of the family at this accommodation. Matthew greeted us following a late flight and showed us to our studio. The studio was very well presented, modern, clean with everything you need. The bathroom's are amazing best we have had in any accommodation we have stayed in. The following morning, after wowing at the amazing view from our balcony, we met Helen and then George. Helen's breakfast's are the best.We joined the BBQ night on the Saturday and again excellent food and entertainment the family really do there very best to make your holiday what you want it to be. The village of Piskopiano was perfect for us and Matheos sits just on the edge of the main street there is also Koutouloufari another village similar in easy walking distance. Because the family are so good at what they do Matheos has lots of repeat visitors but please don't let this put any newbies off while we were there it was a great mix of both in fact probably more newbies that anything else. Thank you Helen, Matthew and George for you hospitality (and all the giggles) during our recent stay with you. Yammas xx Sue n Andy xxx
    October stay was fab

    All the reviews are true, this is quite a remarkable place to stay. Would recommend for a last minute October break while still sunny in Crete and sea temperatures warm, without the crowds. Thanks for a great holiday and looking after us so well.
