Guest Houses in Elafonisos

Very clean environment. Very kind and efficient staff. Truly enjoyed breakfast….both the food and location.

The room was clean and the location very convenient.

When we arrived we got welcomed by the owner of the hotel. The room was very beautiful, cozy, clean and with a good working air conditioning. The cleaning service did every day a great job. I’m our room we had the nice balcony with a sunset on the sea every night. From our balcony we could also see the swimming pool, with the hot weather it was really nice to go for a dive there and lay in the sun. Every morning we had a good and diverse breakfast. The staff was always really nice and polite, when we were going for dinner the owner of the hotel brought us to the city center. These 2 days we experienced as more than perfect and very lovely. Thank you Elafonisos Mare for your hospitality and everything else!!

Location, location, location. Owners John and Christos are there to make your stay special, they are friendly, knowledgeable and their local cafe is in the heart of the community and is an excellent place to eat and drink.

The place is great if you want to relax. Peaceful hills around, black skies at night…. A car is a must. Is it far from the beach or Monemvasia? No, but it all depends on your demands – check on Google Maps – it gives you a realistic idea. Privacy is complete (there are some houses not too far behind, and people live there, but I only met somebody once). For us, it was ideal. But this depends on your needs. For instance, we never met the host in 8 days there. I liked this fact, but this also meant that we had to buy food for breakfast, because the promised breakfast was not included. There was food when we came, which lasted about 3 days, but after that, that was it; I wrote to the owner and the owner responded that he couldn’t bring more food, because he lived far. So when you compare prices, do not take ‘Breakfast Included’ into account, if you stay longer than 3 days or so. So what you get is an ideal place, a cosy suite, and a complete privacy for a reasonable price, but without any service, if that’s important for you. We spent some time in Monemvasia almost every day, and it became more interesting each time we got there, but I would not choose it for vacation rental. In Guesthouse Kamara, we were surrounded by greenery, olive groves, while in Monemvasia, there’s mostly stones, ruins, and tourists. It’s very interesting and beautiful in Monamvasia, but not really relaxing, I’d say. Also, I wanted to mention, we made many furry friends there. Nice little cats and kittens in need of food. They ate ANYTHING we gave them, including BREAD. I mean each and every one of them. They were nice and gentle, but appeared pretty hungry, and we couldn’t stop ourselves from buying sausages and cheap fish for them. And we had to give out sausages piece by piece to make sure everyone gets some. So yes, I do recommend this place for a complete relaxation… And don’t forget to treat the cats!

Amazing location, nice little house fully equipped, and owned by a lovely man named George ! Thanks for everything !!

This hotel was the best we stayed at. Perfectly situated with the sea just across the courtyard. The family room we booked was a suite: a spacious sitting room with balcony facing the sea, and two double en suite bedrooms. The ambiance was romantic: old stone walls, dark panelled ceilings and tiled floors, with furniture in keeping. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea was superb. We were brought a selection from fresh squeezed orange juice, yoghurt, eggs, to honey soaked cakes. The town of Monemvasia is made up of tiny streets and alleyways, little stairways, ramparts by the sea. Bright coloured flowers set off the deep golden stones. Truly a picturesque and romantic destination, and a hotel to match. The kind staff also have a wine cellar where we choose some local wines to buy.
