The historic place (and old water cistern) and how nicely it was converted into the holiday flat. Nice and relaxing, although small, patio adjacent to the flat. Fantastic location, not far from the centre of the old town, yet a bit calm. Recomendable to visit Monemvassia on the first Sunday after Orthodox Easter - when the local feast (Panagia Chryssafitissa) is being held.

Others have commented on the bathroom size--it IS small but it's a Greek bathroom in an old castle and it was just fine!

It was so nice to walk in the castle gate and see a lovely shop with local products...and a host who clearly knew us from our profile picture and promptly led us to the house. My child was thoroughly charmed by the castle-like feeling of the space.

Please note: This would be the same issue for all accommodation in the pedestrainised heart of Monemvasia. It took us a long time to find a parking space on the road leading up to Monemvasia, then carrying all our stuff and guiding the children safely up the hill was hard work. It would be ideal if someone were able to meet visitors at the gate and provide a parking permit for an allocated space.

The children loved sleeping in a cave and so did we! It was cool and peaceful, with all the delights of ancient Monemvasia in easy walking distance. The staff were all really welcoming, generous and helpful. It was a very special place.

They did not have a mattress for the baby/child crib so we had to wrap a few blankets together.

Clean and charming place in a quiet street.

Nothing

A beautifully restored typical for Monemvasia building, exactly as depicted on the pictures, tiny but comfortable with everything you need, on a small quiet square off the main street. We utterly enjoyed our three days there. The hosts are lovely and reliable, and made us feel very welcome!

Absolutely everything was perfect, clean, beautiful, user-friendly and convenient

The door openings were short - my 6'4" husband had to duck to pass through every door. The space was tight, but worked for 2 adults.

Was a very cute place, thoughtfully decorated throughout. A bottle of water and ample coffee supplies (and machines to make coffee) were provided. Had a private outdoor sitting area. The vibe of the place is in keeping with the city.

That we should have stayed longer..

The hosts, the location, and the surroundings. It is hard to put in words the amazing experience we had staying at Monenvasia, the richness in history and beauty. I'll highly recommend to anyone who loves history and beauty.

Fantastic place to stay in Monemvasia castle, in a somewhat remote place where few people pass by. Very nice and helpful hosts!

Parking could be difficult since there is no parking within the city walls. Fortunately, we arrive during the off season and had no difficulties finding a spot but had to walk about 200m to get to the city gates,

Our host was fantastic and extremely helpful. She was getting ready to leave for a few days but made the effort to see us into our room and provided helpful information. Our room was located in an old cistern. It was very unique and cozy. We greatly enjoys or time exploring the castle grounds and the hilltop ruins.

The location is unique: the old town of Monemvasia is a medieval walled town on a small islet just off the coast of the Peloponnese, linked to the mainland through a land-bridge. Large parts of the old town have been wonderfully restored to a very high standard and both the lower town with its medieval houses, churches and squares, and the upper town with its citadel and ruins are not to be missed. The two rental units (Alkmene and Telesilla) are very tastefully and ergonomically restored parts of medieval houses (Telesilla is the converted old cistern of a much larger house). The bunk beds can be a bit of a squeeze (especially in Telesilla where they are a better fit for two children than grown ups) but if you prefer a beautiful, picturesque, and romantic setting over hotel-style roomy blandness then you won't be disappointed. Accessibility will be an issue though if you have restricted mobility, but that goes for the entire town. Both rental units have cosy outside spaces with table and chairs. The local couple who help run the place were lovely, friendly, and very helpful.

- I understand that the accommodation is in a water cistern in the old town and there are practically not many options for changing the layout and making it more comfortable for the guest, however I would not recommend the accommodation to people staying longer than 1-2 nights (e.g. bathroom extremely small, second bunk bed narrow, stuck to a wall and cannot easily fit two adults)

- Location, right in the castle of Monemvasia. Everything of interest is within walking distance. - Clean - Nicely decorated and maintained in its old style - Owners welcoming and friendly

Unique accommodation in old water storage facility. Beautifully decorated and very atmosferic. It’s a bit of a feat they made an accommodation here but beware that it is partly underground and it is made for people substiantally smaller then the average Dutch family haha. Risk of banging your head against doorposts and the shower is really small but creatively made. The owner is absolutely lovely.

This is a cozy and nice apartment in an old stone house, very clean and well equipped, the space is small but the location is magic and you can feel the past of Monenvasia. It’s close to the main street with restaurants and bar all with a Great sea vue. Very close to the rocky beach too. The staff was wonderful and we bought very nice products from ms Foteni ‘s shop ( Malvasia and body cream from her company)
