Hotels near Archaeological Collection of Monemvasia, Monemvasia

Very distinctive homestay, with careful decoration. In the castle, it is more convenient to go shopping and eat, to watch the castle and see the sea. There is a kitchen but you can only make coffee and tea. You can't cook without a pot or stove. The car has to park outside the castle.

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!

We loved this beautiful hotel. We specifically requested a room with few stairs and a sea view, and we were given exactly that—an antique-filled Ottoman style room (A1) with a balcony overlooking the main square and the sea—perfect for us. We had been worried about having to park outside the town gate and drag our luggage through town, but the reception area is only a few meters inside the gate, and the hotel supplied an amazing porter to carry the baggage to our room. We especially appreciated the comfortable bed with good reading lights, and the drying rack on the balcony. Despite its central location, the room was surprisingly quiet at night, and we could not believe the zillions of stars above. The folks in reception were very helpful and gave us an excellent map and great advice. Breakfast was in a separate building and there was a huge variety of delicious items. Most of the town’s restaurants are only a few steps away from the rooms. We particularly liked Matoula for its great service and beautiful sea view and ate there several times. Galera Gelato was another favorite for their irresistible ice cream. The town is very small and walkable but is not easy for anyone with mobility challenges; the cobblestones and stairs require extra caution. It’s definitely worth a hike up the cliff to see the Upper Town, and outside the east wall to visit the lighthouse. This beautifully preserved town is absolutely magical, and the Byzantino Hotel is the perfect place to stay to soak up its historical atmosphere.

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!

Wonderful experience of 5 nights staying at this lovely place. We stomped grapes to make wine, we made bread and candles and soap. We ate at the taverna which was lovely (open twice per week) especially the table full of starters from the estate. A highlight was a boat trip. My 8 year old daughter loved the many cats, especially Garfield. The moussaka at Mouriès was exceptionally delicious, as was the beautiful breakfast. I’m not sure if we will ever be in the Peloponnese again but if we are we will definitely be back. The resort was quiet and my daughter was the only child but we did not feel unwelcome and staff went out of their way to include her.
