Athina Guesthouse

The views ,private patios and helpful staff!

Booking.com had our room listed as "sleeps 3" when that was clearly in error - it's a small room with one bed. The hotel staff could not accommodate the Booking.com error as there was no room for a cot, etc. This error had NOTHING to do with the absolutely lovely hotel in the cliffs~

Το σπίτι είναι παρά πολύ όμορφο, στο κέντρο της πόλης ένα βήμα κυριολεκτικά από όλα. Έχει τα πάντα από παροχές ό,τι χρειαζόμασταν υπήρχε!

Incredible views and close to main gate. All around amazing experience. Noemi was so kind to meet us and help with bags and take us to our car when checking out. What a special villa!

Not a thing!

Magical

What a great place. Everything was absolutely perfect. The beds were comfortable, the shower was strong and hot. Just like it should be and it was a zero entry. We loved loved the morning sunrises on the patio and the late night on the patio, listening to the clinking of the neighboring restaurant. It is the most picturesque place you can imagine. She even left grapes and figs in the refrigerator for us and a bottle of water. She had everything we could need in the kitchen. Although I ate my meals outside, there was a very nice dining room table and lounge area. The breeze through the house was incredible. This is a great find. I hope I will bring my husband back here someday.

Noemi's house is an absolute treasure! Located just steps from the main gate means trekking from your car to your lodging with your luggage an easy dream. The accommodation is so comfortable it feels like home… only better! At street level are basically three bedrooms and a living area, and downstairs a good kitchen with a gathering table and chairs, bathroom and the ultimate terrace, with a couple sitting areas. We were completely charmed from the moment we arrived. The town itself is a Byzantine jewel and you are residing within the castle walls. Definitely walk up to the top of the massive tied island and explore the extensive archaeology as well as the Hagia Sofia replica of the Constantinople original. The food and beverage scene is top-notch, and there are dozens of original shops with local products from jewelry to wines. The swimming was excellent, from the little ramp to the sea.

Magical! Very beautiful and stunning views everywhere you looked. Shops and restaurants all steps from our lovely apartment with a spacious balcony overlooking the amazing blue sea.

The parking…but our host Noemi met us on arrival and picked us up and drove us to our car on departure.

Each morning we drank our morning coffee on the large terrace overlooking the sea, then we went to the restaurant next door for a delicious breakfast! It was really fun to explore the alleys and quaint streets of the lower old town, then to climb up to the top of the 'Rock' and ramble around the historic sites and the castle. Our hostess was fantastic - welcoming and helpful. Monemvasia is a really unique and beautiful town, and Athina Guesthouse is the perfect place to stay!

Nothing - its a lovely little home in the centre of a beautiful historic town with lots of delicious restaurants and interesting shops near beaches on the Aegean Sea - what's not to like?

Beautiful old house very close to the city gate. Amazing view to the sea both from the bedrooms and the (not so little as it initially looked) terrace. Loved taking breakfast & sunbathing every morning there. Clean and comfortable. Our hosts were more than helpful making our stay even better. Merci beaucoup pour tous chère Noémi, tu étais très gentille!

That our vacation had to come to an end at some point.
