Kinsterna Hotel
Agios Stefanos, Monemvasia, 23070, Greece – Excellent location – show map
The grounds are certainly beautiful but there seemed to be a disconnect in the staff ! Not real warm genuine but more robotic in nature with the exception the day we met Marthelene Heraud who taught the soap and candle making classes ! She made our stay outstanding ... I would consider her the best asset this hotel has ! Was disappointed in the breakfast spread as pretty as it looked didn't match the taste ... I am sure in the summer months with lots of activities going on there is plenty to do here... the rooms were very clean and nicely appointed.
Featured among the 65 Best New Hotels in Conde Nast Traveler's Hot List 2011, Kinsterna Hotel offers boutique accommodations with privileged views of the castle of Monemvasia and the endless blue of the Aegean. Set within a restored Byzantine mansion, the suites and rooms have been authentically furnished and designed to reflect the building’s history. All rooms are individually designed and equipped to the finest detail; flat screen TVs, branded bathroom amenities, bathrobes and slippers, heated towel rack, scales, pillow menu and internet connection are standard. Guests can start their day with a Greek Breakfast with delectable in-season products coming mostly from the mansion’s gardens, such as virgin olive oil, citrus fruits and vegetables. The gourmet restaurant offers Mediterranean cuisine using hand-picked ingredients with contemporary twists, whereas the appealing Spa offers a variety of treatments including a traditional hammam. A restaurant offering more casual dining options is also available. Kinsterna Hotel features a truly unique signature swimming pool. The freshwater spring emerges from the basement and eventually forms a river-like swimming pool with private relaxation areas. A swimming pool solely available to families with children is also featured. The pool bar serves delicious salads, sandwiches, cocktails and fresh fruit juices in a relaxing and inspiring setting. Guests can visit the castle-city of Monemvasia, the famous beach of Simos at Elafonisos, the unique port of Gerakas or Kastania Caves offering countless and rare geological formations. Kinsterna Hotel also offers a range of activities that familiarize guests with the history of the mansion and the surrounding area. The closest airport is Kalamata Airport, a 2 and a half hour away.
