We had a lovely stay with our family group of 9 ranging from 58 to 4 years old. The hotels rooms are very clean and beds and towels changed reguarly. The owner and his family are so welcoming and happy to book taxi's for us and give advice, they also run the Mantalena Restaurant where we had some lovely meals and the children were welcomed.
The hotel is in a fantastic position with the sea literally at the end of the road a 4 minute walk and 4 minutes the other way into town. We are hoping to go back in 2023.

What a wonderful Family Stay

Thanks it was great, we stay with two children. We cooked hear, there were dishes, fridge, toaster, kettle. Near to the nice beach. We have two rooms, all clean and fresh towels.Thanks for it, for stay here.

Holiday with children

In 2021 we just had a wonderful two-months stay in Alykanas between June 15 - July 15 and September 1 - September 30 at Villa Mantalena, a pleasant hotel with perfect location: sandy beach, boat rental and water sports at 150m, tourist port at 300m, Alykanas center 300m, horse riding at 50m, bicycle rental at 200m, supermarket at 250m, medical center and pharmacy 400m.
The rooms have private bathroom with independent hot water supply, fully equipped kitchen, balcony, flat TV, free air conditioning, safety box and WI-FI.
The garden, at the front of the hotel, with large parking, are very nice with many flowers and trees, include a covered patio as a suplimentary space, if you want to relax outside.
The owners Tassos and Maria were kind and helpful. The family is absolutely wonderful and makes you feel very welcome.
I can't thank Tassos enough for his help in difficult situations, but also for Greek lessons combined with jokes and good cheer. Ευχαριστώ πάρα πολy!
I was impressed by the fact that daily all the rooms was cleaned by Maria, even if the rooms were not occupied.
The owners also have a Greek restaurant “Mantalena” on the main road. The Mantalena” is a family owened restaurant  with a relaxed atmosphere and very good food with plenty of choices that include delicious traditional food served by chef Tassos, Maria and Yannis, with smiles and hearts wide open.
Every time we return to Villa Mantalena, we feel that we are returning to our second home.
I recommend this hotel to the tourists who apreciate more the relationships between people and friendship than other more superficial things in life.
In Greece I feel at home, it is a nice country with friendly people, with beautiful traditions and a special history and culture, which I respect very much.
We will definitely be back again next summer.
Thank you Tassos and Maria for this wonderful holiday!

Friendly people make a happy holiday

Villa Mantalena has such a warm pleasant feel to it. It has a fantastic location, literally minutes from Alykanas beach in one direction and the main town in the other.
Our apartment had two double bedrooms with a separate kitchen and bathroom. All the rooms were extremely clean and well equipped. The bed and pillows being very comfy. We had a large balcony with lovely furniture. The aircon was fab as was the safe.
The only reason I can think of that this has a two star rating is because it is just accommodation - no pool, restaurant, bar or shop. Reception is manned for most of the day with very friendly and helpful staff. This is the first year we have braved not having pool and it really wasn’t a problem. All the hotels nearby have pools that can be used including the Valais next door.
My family all felt very comfortable and welcome here and we would definitely book again.

Very welcoming 

We stayed at Villa Mantalena at the start of August. Having visited Alykanas over 10 times previously, we decided to stay at Villa Mantalena once again as we knew we’d be guaranteed a great stay. 

We stayed in a studio apartment with two balconies, an ensuite and a kitchenette. The apartment included everything we needed during our week long holiday. 

The Pylarinos family were very accommodating and we enjoyed many meals at their family run restaurant, Mantalena. 

We will definitely be returning! 

Superb location! 

I have just come back from 2weeks holiday staying at the villa Mantalena and it was perfect 5 minutes to the beach in one direction or to the middle of town in the other. It is very basic but that is Greece and fine for 2 ladies travelling together. It is a pity they are going private next year 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Holiday

We stayed in a studio, it was a bit dated to be honest but very clean and plenty of hot water. Could do with a facelift soon but we had expected this from earlier reviews. Lovely friendly staff and guests. We thought the location was excellent. Beautiful safe sandy beach within 2 minutes walk one way and the town 4 minutes in the other direction. The Mantelena taverna was excellent. Tassos's moussaka was superb! Alykanas is a lovely resort, plenty to see and do and Alykynes nearby has a nice river running to the beach. We had a good relaxing break 😊

Good location 

We stayed at the Mantalena from 26th September x 2 weeks.  On arrival, I was a little disappointed at the room / general condition - it was very small, and quite basic.  But this is only a 2-star establishment!  The best thing is the lovely hosts (our room was cleaned every day) and the location - 5 mins from everything we wanted.  Yes, the Mantalena could do with a little money spending on it, and yes, the drains aren't great (generally in Greece)!  On wet days, our room had a musty smell too, but we had a perfect 2-weeks here and now I know what to expect, would happily book again.  Oh they have a resident dog (not loose) and a cat that we nicknamed Lennon.  Lennon likes food but do not attempt to stroke him ha ha!  He will let you know he is not keen.  See you soon Lennon!

Perfect Location

We’re moved to these apartments as ours had overbooked - they booked us in here as they were across the road - assumed we’d get a studio but they out us in an apartment which needed a total upgrade and charged us 75 euros a night which is fine for nice accommodation but this was awful, cracked tikes, rusty bath, kitchen with rusty appliances, with very noisy neighbours - never again and it spoilt out holiday

Needs updating

We had a holiday in on August 25th for 2 weeks when the bus pulled up outside the Mantalena we were very disappointed at the look of the hotel it looked very run down. We were greeted by yannis who was very friendly and showed us to are room which was so so dated ( we have been going to Greece for 20 years and know what basic means in Greece) it had  two bedrooms and one of them had a very bad smell coming from it which we found out was actually coming from inside the wardrobe but on the other side of the wardrobe was the shower which had cracked tiles and grout missing so the water was getting behind them and causing damp in the wardrobe hence the smell. The shower and kitchen looked like they hadn't been updated since the 70s they were so old all the doors in the apartment and the kitchen doors squeaked so bad that my husband went around with our sun oil and sprayed every hinge , these things should be done by the owners before the holiday season starts. Bathroom sink hot tap was ceased so only had cold tap to use. Before you could have a shower we had to turn a water heater on for about 15 minutes before you could have hot water which wasn't to bad but never had to do this ever before. There was lots of places in the bathroom which had been boarded up and roughly plastered it looked really shabby. One day we had a thunderstorm and for some reason we had lots of little worms on the floor and some up the walls I don't know where they were coming from or if it was the rain that caused it but it wasn't very nice to have these in your room. We are very surprised that this a Thomson holiday hotel as we have had lots of holiday with Thomson and I can say this is the worst hotel I have been in and I wished I had read the review that someone had put on a few weeks before,(because she was vey accurate) before I booked this hotel. We did complain to the rep and see if she could move us which she tried really hard but everywhere was full so she asked Yannis if he would be willing to move us into another room which initially he said yes until his brother said no so we had to stay in the that room for the rest of the holiday. Yannis painted inside the wardrobe and put some grout on the tiles to try and help but it was to far gone to do anything about the smell. The cleaner petulia was lovely she cleaned our room every day towels changed every 3 days and bed changed about 3 times in the two weeks. The hotel was in a great location it was two minutes from the beach in one direction and about 4 minutes in the other direction to the town, lovely resort lots of bars and restaurants and about a 20 minute walk to the resort of Alykes which is also lovely both resorts had lovely beaches. We ate at the Akti pool bar every day food was fabulous and service was great and very cheap and large portions. The beach beds were only 5 euros for two beds and an umbrella. We really loved Alykanas and didn't let the Mantalena spoil it for us (we aren't that time of people )but thought I could write an honest review so others would definitely know what they are letting themselves in for. We would return to Alykanas but at another hotel.       C.B
