Kinsterna Hotel

A truly special place! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kinsterna Hotel — it’s a truly special place where you can feel the love and detail poured into every corner. From the beautifully restored architecture to the lush grounds, everything has been so thoughtfully curated. Breakfast was incredible, and both the taverna and main restaurant served some of the best food we had in Greece — absolutely 10/10. The pool area is stunning, and the whole experience felt luxurious yet grounded in nature and history. The only small suggestion we’d make is around guest orientation. The property is large and full of interesting areas and activities, but we weren’t given a proper briefing on arrival. The person who took us to reception offered little detail. We ended up missing some of the lovely complimentary activities like the bread making and honey collecting, which mostly happen on weekends but managed to do a garden tour with the agronomist which was special. A simple welcome tour or clearer communication would make a big difference. That aside, our stay was exceptional — peaceful, delicious, and full of charm. We’d return in a heartbeat!

Excellent hotel. Rooms are nicely decorated and are very large. The resort is like a small village. Pools are quiet and clean. Breakfast has a lot of choices with vegetables, fruits and cakes (including products from their garden). The restaurant is very good with high-quality of meals.

We have just spent 3 wonderful nights at this beautiful hotel which exceeded our expectations. The setting is magical amongst beautiful gardens overlooking the sea in the distance and it is an oasis of tranquility- certainly somewhere to switch off for a few days. |We had a premium residence which was comfortably and tastefully decorated with a large private terrace. The hotel’s public areas and pool areas however are so lovely that I’m sure we would have been just as happy in a more modest room as I believe they are all of a high specification.|There are 2 pools and we spent our time at the adult pool - a stunning feature with plenty comfy loungers, shade and a pool bar. The large family pool was equally inviting and very quiet when we were there. I loved the feature of the cribs for babies alongside the adult loungers. |Breakfasts were abundant with helpful attentive service ( no waiting forever for coffee and top ups) and the 2 dinners we had at the main restaurant were exceptional and reasonably priced for the quality of the offering. An excellent wine list too but we were more than happy with the estate’s own house wine. We weren’t so enthralled with the taverna evening - a limited menu at a price point equal to the restaurant for taverna style food. Maybe lacking in atmosphere too. Some Greek music would have added to the ambience. |We absolutely will return and certainly for longer next time.

Beautiful hotel—a restored Turkish Pasha’s mansion. Rooms are large and modernized, but maintain the look of the property. Amazing breakfast and nice restaurants options for dinner. Hotel offers many experiences for guests. Give it a try. You will love it !

Kinsterna Hotel is an exceptional establishment that I discovered last year, and I was so impressed that I immediately made a reservation for this year. This luxurious hotel offers a remarkable fine dining experience; the breakfast is incredibly abundant, and their restaurants are truly outstanding. They even cultivate all their vegetables on-site, which adds a unique touch to every meal. Each room boasts its own distinctive decor, and the views of the surrounding landscape are simply breathtaking. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring that you feel welcome throughout your stay. It’s no surprise that the hotel received two Michelin Keys this year. I cannot wait to return!

We (a family of 4, kids aged 8 and 10) got back from 6 nights at Kinsterna the week before Easter. It was possibly the best hotel experience we've had as a family of 4, everything from the room (the family suite with a great view, plenty of space and storage), the food (the best buffet breakfast I've had with the daily home-made cakes, pastries, local specialties and garden produce) to the impeccable service from all the staff (tips from the lovely General Manager George and the attentiveness of the Experience Manager, also George and the barman who went out of his way to make my kids a mocktail even I would have traded my drink for), meant the experience was high quality and personalised, without being in-your-face bling, or pretentious. The Greeks just know how to be hospitable. I am a tough customer and have picked holes at a number of so-called 'luxury' resorts in the past. but Kinsterna is a rare thing. It is not flashy, its immensely understated, and whilst its not brand-shiny new (there are small aspects that could be modernised or updated), but the really important things are there in spades. Apparently the hotel was full by the time we checked-out, but we didn't feel it at all (the design and layout means its easy to find a quiet corner or terrace just to yourself, there are always plenty of staff). The free activities running that week were authentic and charming (egg-staining activity that didn't quite work and left everyone peering into the pot and researching on google, was a wholesome and perfect activity for all ages), the candle-making that my kids adored (using their own beeswax from the hives) and the donkey ride and hen-house visits and the ever so slightly old-fashioned but brilliantly designed children's play area were loved by my kids. The vibe is laid-back, friendly, and the beautiful gardens are impeccably maintained without feeling contrived or unnatural. The wild flowers and the perfume of the fruit trees everywhere left us feeling refreshed and relaxed. Thank you George and the whole team. We will be back....

Kinsterna is a true gem in the Peloponnese! More than just being a 5-star hotel, the property has a unique atmosphere, gathering everything you would need or expect to enjoy a perfect holiday. The charming view, the wonderful garden, the intelligent way every detail has been thought of, makes you want to say there forever. We were specifically amazed by the level of service we got from everyone there. The staff is always on point, very professional, discreet, and everyone we bumped into always had a smile that makes you feel at home. Thanks again! I would definitely recommend to stay at least a few days if you can, to be able enjoy all the different activities, outside areas, pools, the restaurants and the spa, and just take time to relax in this incredible hotel

Our group stayed for 2 nights, and wished it had been longer. An absolutely wonderful and magical place. The hotel and its surroundings are beautiful, gardens full of flowers, & views to the sea. The rooms are very well appointed, with everything you could need. Staff helpful, friendly and professional. |The restaurant serves absolutely delicious food, & has a really good wine list. |All in all can’t recommend this place highly enough, and hope to be back.
