Family hotels and homes in Monemvasia

We had a lovely time! The staff was very helpful. The room had the most amazing view and ambience.Plus, the breakfast had everything you could have asked for and in great quality. Hope we have the pleasure to visit again and be lucky enough to get the same room !

In one of the historical homes of Monemvasia, with all historical features still present and carefully restored. The room we had was essentially a suite - we had one area for the bed and a separate sitting area with armchairs and a TV (and a whole Christmas tree for ourselves!). We arrived during extremely unfavourable weather (torrential rain and wind) and were welcomed most warmly by the owners.

Very beautiful restaured ancient building Good breakfast and restaurant

The apartment we stayed in was large, with air conditioning in the living room and bedroom, wirh grade view to the sea. The kitchen was well-equipped. The owners were very friendly and always ready to help. Even though we didn't pay for breakfast, they gave us cake every day. Very nice pool and the kids had fun.

Excellent couldn't be more perfect

Comfortable, nicely designed spaces an easy walk into town. Super responsive and helpful hosts. The unexpected gifts of local wine, olive oil, sea salt and fruit were much appreciated!

We were upgraded to a Residence room, while we booked a Family room. The host was extremely nice and welcoming. The breakfast was very good, and the nice lady who prepared it also made us lemonades. The saltwater pool is very large and very comfortable. The location is just 5 minutes by car from the island and it has beautiful views over it.

The place is great if you want to relax. Peaceful hills around, black skies at night…. A car is a must. Is it far from the beach or Monemvasia? No, but it all depends on your demands – check on Google Maps – it gives you a realistic idea. Privacy is complete (there are some houses not too far behind, and people live there, but I only met somebody once). For us, it was ideal. But this depends on your needs. For instance, we never met the host in 8 days there. I liked this fact, but this also meant that we had to buy food for breakfast, because the promised breakfast was not included. There was food when we came, which lasted about 3 days, but after that, that was it; I wrote to the owner and the owner responded that he couldn’t bring more food, because he lived far. So when you compare prices, do not take ‘Breakfast Included’ into account, if you stay longer than 3 days or so. So what you get is an ideal place, a cosy suite, and a complete privacy for a reasonable price, but without any service, if that’s important for you. We spent some time in Monemvasia almost every day, and it became more interesting each time we got there, but I would not choose it for vacation rental. In Guesthouse Kamara, we were surrounded by greenery, olive groves, while in Monemvasia, there’s mostly stones, ruins, and tourists. It’s very interesting and beautiful in Monamvasia, but not really relaxing, I’d say. Also, I wanted to mention, we made many furry friends there. Nice little cats and kittens in need of food. They ate ANYTHING we gave them, including BREAD. I mean each and every one of them. They were nice and gentle, but appeared pretty hungry, and we couldn’t stop ourselves from buying sausages and cheap fish for them. And we had to give out sausages piece by piece to make sure everyone gets some. So yes, I do recommend this place for a complete relaxation… And don’t forget to treat the cats!

This was a lovely old village house with loads of character. It had been beautifully restored, in keeping with the original era, including typical furniture and kitchenware where possible. It had excellent views and was very peaceful and calm. The kitchen was generally well equipped, but strangely, had forks and spoons, but no knives in the drawers. There was a delightful terrace from the top bedroom with table and chairs to eat outside. It was a wonderful place to stay to get away from the hustle and bustle of the town, a few kilometres down the mountainside.
