Top 5-Star Hotels in Monemvasia

When a hotel is really great, I review it for myself. I love looking back at my reviews to remember my most wonderful travel experiences. This will be one of those reviews. We found the beautiful Kinsterna Hotel is a coffee table book called “Great Escapes Greece”. Obviously, we checked TripAdvisor before booking! Kinsterna exceeded my expectations in so many ways. - We arrived late after the restaurants were closed. The staff (who seem to care for the place like they own it) offered to have club sandwiches waiting in our room. - They grow and make SO MUCH on site. Olives, oranges, marmalade, wine grapes, so many vegetables, etc. What hotel does that! Try the local Kidonitsa wine. - If I’m not mistaken, the pool was fresh water from a well. No chlorine, no salt. - The building has more than just history. Take the tour to learn how they turned ruins into a magnificent complex. - Seriously amazing value - I just wish the flights to Greece weren’t so expensive. - We stayed in a villa, which was built 10-15 years ago. Amazing craftsmanship like you never see any more. I wouldn’t stay there for the spa. The people were nice, but there was room for improvement.

Such a unique stay as a family at this great hotel! We'd happily stay again. Rooms are super clean, traditional with a modern twist, spacious and comfortable. Great views, great breakfast each morning, great service from staff. Some tips: - If travelling by own rental car, drop off family members at the castle gate with luggage and get spouse to find a parking spot somewhere on the road that leads up to the castle. May take a few u-turns to find one but you will, then you'll have to walk up. There is no parking inside the castle. - Call the hotel Likinia reception (the daughter speaks moderate English) and ask for porter to come help with luggage and guide you to the reception. - there are several hotels within the castle complex, so you will need the porter to lead you there. - travel lightly (don't take too many bags) if you're staying here as there are loads of steps. - take shoes that will be comfortable for lots of walking inside the complex - no high heels. - There is a sign not far from the Hotel that indicates where you can take a dip in 'Sea' - take a towel, wear your bathers and join locals in an invigorating dip in the sea. Just keep an eye on the weather and winds. The owners are super lovely. The older couple don't speak a lot of English, but their adult children do. A really enjoyable experience and we can't wait to go back. Enjoy!

We were lucky enough to find this beautiful guest house in Monemvasia just 3 days before our arrival, even though it was a high season. When we arrived in the castle, the reception was located 100m from the gate. A really kind lady welcomed us and led us to the room. We were more than surprised with both the location and the room itself. The room was for 4 guests, having a double bed and two single beds. The whole guest room is made out of stone and has an old fashioned kind of style, making you feel like traveling in another century. It also had a small kitchen with some basic stuff like an induction stove, a pot, a coffee machine and dishes, etc. The room was very clean, it offered small bottles of shampoo and shower gel. We also appreciated the quality of both the towels and the sheets. Also another advantage was that breakfast was included in the price. It was served in a wonderful outdoor space full of trees. The breakfast included lots of homemade jams, fresh fruits, eggs, traditional pies and of course juice and coffee. We highly recommended and we are looking forward to visiting it again. Thank you for the wonderful hospitality!
