Homestays in Monemvasia

We absolutely loved our stay at Kissamitakis Guesthouse in Monemvasia! My husband and I travel quite a bit, but this place was something truly special — probably one of the most unique and unforgettable experiences we’ve ever had. The guesthouse has so much charm and character. Everything feels authentic and thoughtfully cared for. Our room was spotless and cozy, and the best part was the open veranda with a stunning view of the sea and the old town. We loved sitting there early in the morning — watching the sunrise over the water was pure magic. Honestly, it felt like a dream. And of course, a huge thank-you to George, our wonderful host. He made us feel genuinely welcome from the first moment — warm, kind, and always ready to help or share local tips. You can tell he truly cares about his guests. We left Monemvasia with full hearts and beautiful memories. Can’t wait to come back someday. Highly, highly recommended if you want to experience the real beauty and soul of Greece.

Very beautiful view, friendly and helpfull owner, terrace...

Excelent breakfast, very clean accomodation furnished with good taste, perfect location even close to the beach, which I didn't expect at all

The room was beautifully appointed and clean with great views of the medieval buildings and the sea below. Nice modern take on a traditional design. The hosts were lovely and very welcoming.

Everything space cleanliness

A fabulous place! Beaufitful, charismatic, unique and stylish. We were greeted with a smile and cold water to quench our thirst in the heat. The only regret is we only booked it for one night. Well worth a longer stay to enjoy the area, listen to the sea and take your time.

Its near to local shops and restaurants , it has its own parking lot which was really convenient Even from the moment u step out of the apartment ull be stunned by the amazing view of Monemvasia.

The staff were most helpful :)

Everything was perfect, no complaints. Very comfortable, modern and stylish ambience. Great views from balcony.

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!
