Malvasia Traditional Hotel

Amazing location, unique rooms with historic charm. We stayed in an apartment style room located in the lower areas of Monemvasia, below the Stellaki Mansion. The best way to describe the room is - fancy wine cellar. We had access to an upper level courtyard which was very pretty with potted plants and seating, however no sea views from our room or courtyard. Though we grew to love the room I was originally disappointed to not have a sea view. This was probably an error made on my end. Based on photos of the rooms when booking I wrongly assumed that all the rooms had sea views/terraces. So if having a sea view is important to you make sure to read the room descriptions closely when booking. Even though we didn’t have the view in our room it really wasn’t a big deal and we were out exploring most of the time anyways! The staff was very friendly and the included breakfast was excellent and served in a beautiful building with outdoor terraces with garden and sea views. Overall we had an amazing experience and would highly recommend staying in any of the rooms available! Note: all of Monemvasia is walking only with very uneven stone streets and lots of stairs, consider that when packing bags. I would recommend backpack style carry-on size/overnight bags vs rolling suitcases; and definitely no heavy large bags.

One of the most unique and beautiful places we’ve stayed. Excellent hospitality!

Wow. What an experience staying in the Staliki Mansion with the balcony that we practically lived on. You need to come with an adventurous spirit and running shoes as you must do a lot of walking on cobblestones and staircases to go everywhere. This is an epic experience!

We loved everything about it. We had a room with a balcony overlooking Monemvasia and the ocean. Stunning. Parking is along the road that connects Monemvasia to the mainland. This is where EVERYONE parks. The reception is right inside the castle walls but it could be a bit of a walk from there on cobblestones depending where your room is. Breakfast is fantastic and everyone is so nice and helpful.

The hotel seems very nice. It’s pretty unique. The breakfast is excellent. The common areas are beautiful. The reason we didn’t have a great experience was because the room we got was tiny - barely enough space to move around with 2 pieces of luggage. Tiny bathroom. It looks like a staff room actually rather then tourist accommodations. I’m not sure whether we somehow overlooked the size of the room when we made a reservation. Usually, we pay attention to that. Unfortunately, there is no way to confirm whether the room we were given was the one we booked.
