The owner and the staff were wonderful. We loved our stay at the property. The owner provided us with all the necessary information upon arrival.

The breakfast was supplied from a local bakery including "tonnes" of plastic and wrap around papers.

Brilliant renovated buildings, nicely refurbished interior, fantastic balcony. The Art Hotel is located in the middle of this tiny village. Breakfast is on demand...we ordered one for the first morning (greek style), it was way too much.

Pillows could be more comfortable. Provision of a coffee machine and kettle in the room would have been perfect.

We felt like we were staying with family. Hosts Theofanni and Christos were very helpful and informative and their passion for the preservation of the Montemvasia history and heritage was wonderful. Downstairs is a library and art gallery which was very interesting and added to the uniqueness of the property. Breakfast was served on outdoor balcony. (Extra charge supplied by nearby cafe) was substantial with the best homemade spanakopita, Greek yoghurt and honey and omelette. The hotel is very stylishly decorated. Adults only policy makes for a serene stay. Very good communication from hosts about how to get there and heads up about the rocky undulating nature of the walkways plus many steps. You wouldn’t want to be dragging heavy luggage from car into castle compound and to hotel so it was good they informed us at time of booking.

It was perfect! There wasn't anything I didn't like.

What a fantastic place to stay and I cannot express how beautiful the hotel is and the location of where my room was. Truly a magical experience. I wanted to stay in the castle town rather than across in the modern town and am so happy I was able to stay at the Theophanos Hotel. I stayed in a room towards the top of one of their buildings and there was a wonderful rooftop patio right near my room. Great location to watch the sea from and in particular the sunrise. My room was so cute. Very comfortable bed and great bathroom. I had a small balcony that looked out towards the lower and upper town. Just beautiful. The staff were so friendly and helpful with suggestions on places to eat. They were also helpful answering questions about areas to visit and see. I was able to meet the owner Ms. Theophanos who was a wonderful person. So nice to talk to her and learn how she came about getting the hotel, how it was restored. She was also very generous and gave me some home made bread to take with me on my bus ride back to Athens. I cannot recommend this hotel enough! I now know where I will be staying if I ever go back to Monemvasia.

There should, at least, be coffee/tea supplies in the room. Also, when booking, one should be told to follow the path near the sea to the hotel. Otherwise it is difficult with heavy suitcases.

Theophano Art Hotel is beautifully appointed!! It was well positioned and quiet. The rooms were very comfortable, clean and staff were lovely. The owner gave us some history on Monemvasia which was interesting.

The hosts were great, they welcomed us with cold mint and lemon water and explained everything we needed to know about their stunning village. They even gave us a room with a balcony although our booking was for a smaller one without.

Perfect place, charming host

Stayed in August 2023

I recommend more comfy chair at the balcony and a well maintained fridge

Great location the view is breathtaking! The architecture of the hotel is outstanding but the whole town in the castle keeps the same style . It’s like living in a medieval fairytale . As for the room was Very nice with old style furniture and most important they were keeping it clean everyday ! There was also a small lovely terrace next to our room so you can sit and admire the Myrtoan sea.

Sleeping inside the walled city is an experience not to be missed. The hotel has a main building that serves as a reception area, tastefully decorated with windows overlooking the parade ground of the military fort. The town's main church is open in the same square. The rooms are located in several small houses near the main building. They are small, cosy rooms with wooden furniture. Our room had a bed with a headboard, small armchairs, mirrors, a nice old table, all in 19th century style. The bathroom was all marble and new. The air conditioning, which in Greece is a must in August, worked perfectly. From our little house we enjoyed a view of an enclosed garden within the walls of another partly ruined house, with birds singing in the morning and crickets all day, and a view of the fortified mountain. The owners are cultured people, infinitely polite and hospitable. It is a place for people with refined tastes, simple but elegant. The owner does not prepare breakfast, but it can be ordered on request (4 different menus, tasty and plentiful!) and served on the small terrace of the main building from 9.30am to 11am. We hope to return sooner or later! Thank you again for the warm welcome!

Nothing. Maybe the facility for making coffee in the morning would be a nice add on. Monenvasia is beautiful but somehow hard in the exceptional heat we experienced. We recommend you to follow the good advice of the owner and make sure to take with you only the essential in a rucksack and leave the rest in the car. The walk to the hotel from the gate with luggage is a killer.

The place is stylish, clean and beautiful. It was great every evening to get back into the fresh room beautifully decorated and smelling wonderfully. The small balcony with sweet grapes was also lovely

Lovely hotel located in a great location in Monemvasia Castle. We received a very warm welcome and even stayed another night. Would definitely stay again.

Nothing. Perfect!!

The most incredible architecture accompanied by the loveliest staff.

Not a thing!!

We loved everything about Theophano Art Hotel! The rooms and location were stunning looking out to the sea, and enveloped within the castle walls (that are full of wonderful shops and tavernas). But, the best part of the trip was Theophano herself. An amazing, vibrant, creative, and enormously welcome and kind hostess. Theophano made the trip extra special. We love this place!! Hope to get back!!

As I mentioned above, it was difficult to use the balcony during the day, due to the lack of any protection against the sun. But that may be because umbrellas (or other types of protection) are forbidden by the building code or some other code of conduct across the historic site of Monemvasia.

Theophano is perfectly situated within the Castle of Monemvasia, near the main plaza of the lower town. This is a family-owned business and the owners know how to make you feel welcomed from check in to check out. The room was rather spartan but nothing was truly missing, and the view of the sea from the windows and balcony was splendid. It was difficult to sit on the balcony during the day due to the punishing sun (but umbrellas may actually not be allowed throughout this historic site and it may not be an oversight at this particular hotel, where little else has not been given some thought), but it's unlikely you're going to want to leave the balcony later in the day. I didn't opt to add breakfast to my reservation, so I cannot comment on that. But I do recommend you talk to the hosts about the hotel's history. You will enjoy the conversation, no doubt. I'd be happy to stay at Theophano again!

The mattress was too soft.

Big and very nice room with antique furniture. The hotel consists of many buildings whereby the reception is like a small museum and is located in the house of the famous writer Ritsos. Impressive. Very friendly and polite owners and cleaning ladies.

Having to leave.

A beautiful, authentic and peaceful boutique hotel. The room was absolutely stunning. Theophano was such a lovely, kind and helpful host. Faultless!

There is nothing negative to say about the hotel stay!

We absolutely loved the location, the room, the views, the staff! Everything was so meticulously curated! The lovely Ms Theophano took the time to show us the history of the building and gave us great suggestions!! 100% we will be back, the history of the hotel coupled with its fantastic location gives the experience a touch of magic!
