House in the Castle

The apartment is beautiful, well equipped, bed is comfortable and terrace is large, with a view beyond words. What a fantastic stay! The host is extremely welcoming and a definition of great hospitality. Highly recommend!

This is a town within a castle. It is very rustic and beautiful inside the castle walls. We were met by the owner, Ersi, at the entrance to the castle. She had someone there to take our luggage to our room. This was great because the inside paths are very old and rocky, everything you would expect from an ancient castle. Ersi took us to our room and explained everything about the history and renovations. Our room was three stories with a bedroom and bathroom on the bottom floor, a kitchen, living room, and bathroom on the second floor (entrance), and a bedroom and balcony on the top floor. The air conditioning worked great and Ersi had fruits, wine, and water in the refrigerator for us (extra waters on the counter). It also had high speed wifi which worked great, most of the time. (For some reason, we had an issue with it in the mornings but the owner came right over to check it out.) There are great views from the upstairs balcony and I even flew my drone from there. We loved our rooms and the entire town/experience. Upon our departure, Ersi presented us with a great bottle of local olive oil. She is one of the nicest and most accommodating owner’s/hostesses we have met in our extensive travels.

We give the highest recommendation for the house in the castle, (sptistocastro ). The accomodation was spacious, clean, thoughtful and authentic to the area. The children loved it as it was very unique. The position of the property in the castle is ideal, great views of the ocean and the castle walls. Finally the hosts Ersi and Nikos were professional and caring. Hospitality was wonderful and local knowledge was most useful. If we ever come back to Monemvasia we will definitely stay there again. Great memories!
