I love Greek islands, I have many positive experiences with Greek people, but this was far the best experience I have ever had in the last 18 years. 

The owner Mrs. Evangelia is one of the nicest and kindest people I have ever met. She was trying to make us feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived to the moment when we left. She offered us some drinks and a toast on the arrival, she arranged a very cheap and reliable rented car, a taxi, the large and well appointed room was immaculately clean, she prepared excellent breakfasts, she treated us with a home grown watermelon and on the last day she gave us as a gift bag full of home grown tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers. I had many long conversations with her which I really enjoyed.
This is Greece at its best.

Greek hospitality at its best

Great value and very kind warm hosts. The apartment is about 10 minutes walk from the beach and the bus stop to Naxos town. Clean, basic and so very good. Hosts are very helpful. Beds are fine and bedclothes are changed regularly. Kitchen utilities are basic. Still highly recommended. 

Great value 

Right off the bat - you will need wheels to get to the beaches and generally about the island. The bus service to Chora is excellent nevertheless so but you do need to be on the beach to enjoy this service. The nearest beaches are soft, golden sands, clear aqua water, some parts even naturist - ! - and very clean: as well as loads of organised beaches (umbrellas and sun beds).

The studios themselves are in a quiet, more rural area and are comfortable and exceptionally clean. Unfortunately we can't remember our host's name, but she is absolutely delightful, generous and kind: despite our lack of Greek language, we managed with lots of "ok" and smiles. 

Our stay was more than ok - we were able to have a load of laundry done and enjoyed complimentary garden fresh tomatoes, cucumber and peppers from the gardens. 

Thank you for your warmth and care during our stay.

We do recommend a stay at Mateus Studios - you can hear the sea from your terrace and it was charming to see garden sprinklers in action! As we haven't seen sprinklers for years.

Off the beach track studio

very nice place for quiet holidays. only 10' walking to the beach or 4' driving. there are several beach bars and restaurants nearby. very kind staff and helpful. clean place and rooms. plenty space for car parking 

vacation 

Our room (No 9) was spacious, had beautiful sea view and a large balcony. We stayed only for one night but it was enough for us to want to come again. The kitchen was fully equipped (sink, cooking pot, pan, plates, etc), even with a dining table, there was a TV and A/C. The bathroom is clean. The lady owner is polite and helpful. 
The property has free parking (having a car or a motorcycle is recommended), large public spaces, even a small kids playground. 
Plaka beach is nearby, in somewhat walking distance.

Nice, clean and spacious

Located about 1k from the beach and facilities at Plaka, so your own transport is desirable. We hired a quad bike and this proved to be perfect for going everywhere on Naxos. 
Mateus Studios is a typical white and blue, low-rise Cycladic complex of about 16 rooms (at a guess). Very well maintained and prettily presented. Right on the side of the new main road from the airport towards Mikri Vigla. The new road isn't shown on any maps, but Google Earth is OK. If you are arriving on the ferry head south out of Naxos town following directions to the airport. Keep straight on past the airport along the new blacktop road. The new road turns to dust and concrete about 1k south of Mateus. So if you run out of tarmac you've passed it. Clearer directions would have helped us find it easier.
The housekeeper doesn't speak English. But with the help of her son we managed to communicate. The whole place is kept very clean and tidy. All the paintwork is bright and new. Our room was cleaned daily,  towels and sheets changed every two days. WiFi worked pretty well most of the time in our room. Plenty of storage for clothes. A view of the coast from the shower window. Aircon worked fine and wasn't noisy.
The housekeeper was charming and tried very hard to please, despite our lack of Greek. We were brought home-cooked gifts daily - croissants, cake, loukoumades. 
We watched the sunset over neighbouring island Paros every evening from our balcony.

So why the average rating? The kitchenette comprises a steel sink unit with integrated two ring electric hob, under-counter fridge (which was nice and quiet), cupboards, crockery and a small briki (Greek coffee pot). But no cutlery to speak of - two forks, two spoons and two small vegetable knives. No kettle, cooking utensils or cooking pans. We did acquire a cooking pot off the housekeeper. It's not equipped for self catering and the hob is almost a waste of time because you lack any cooking equipment. 
If all you want is chilled food and drink from the fridge and greek coffee you will be fine.
The nice big double bed was probably the firmest we have ever slept on. We like a firm bed but this one was probably a couple of grades too firm.
Overall good value accommodation in a quiet but accessible location that allows easy access to the rest of the island. Plenty of parking with nice views front and back. Just 1k from naturist beach if you are after the all-over tan.
