Kinsterna Hotel

Absolutely amazing! This 5-star hotel in Monemvasia, recently awarded 2 Michelin Keys, exceeded every expectation. The atmosphere is calm, serene, and luxurious, making it the perfect destination for a quiet getaway or a relaxing family vacation.||The hotel has 50 beautifully designed rooms, two stunning pools, and a Michelin-starred restaurant where we enjoyed a fantastic dinner. Breakfast by the pool was equally delightful — fresh, varied, and beautifully presented.||Service was impeccable — professional, warm, and attentive to every detail. There’s also a small gym and a lovely spa, ideal for unwinding completely.||It’s located close to the Monemvasia Rock and the town center, though you’ll need a car to get around easily.||In short, it’s a must-try — whether you’re planning a peaceful 2–3 day escape or simply looking to sit by the pool and enjoy life at its finest. A perfect blend of elegance, comfort, and tranquility.

We last visited 7 years ago and the place did not disappoint. We wanted to look at a potential wedding venue as it holds a special place in our hearts and the staff couldn’t do enough to accommodate us! They are truly amazing and we adore each and every one of the people who work here! Always smiling, super attentive and nothing is too much bother. They go above and beyond and made our stay unforgettable yet again even though there’s different staff to when we visited 7 years previously. ||They have been by far the best out of the other places we have visited and we knew that magical memories would be created yet again! Thank you to you all from Ivana and Ian for making such a massive effort and impact on us in a positive way yet again!

We loved our stay at Kinsterna. The property is absolutely stunning and made for total relaxation. We booked a deluxe room that had a sweet outdoor patio with a small ocean view. While the interior was dark, it still worked out well and made for great sleep. The bathrooms could be updated, but that’s my only small quibble. ||We loved our beekeeping and honey tasting experience - I highly recommend this activity. We also did grape stomping, which was more like quickly walking on a few grape clusters, but at least I checked it off the bucket list. ||Food was pretty good. Breakfast had a great buffet selection. We loved the evening at the Taverna with live music - the atmosphere was fantastic. We also really enjoyed our time at the adult pool. ||Highly recommend!

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!

My family and I stayed here in September for a few nights. Beautiful hotel, beautiful location and grounds were well kept. The ambience is unmatched. The one big issue I had was we had sent some laundry off with housekeeping, and one of the items I sent was a favorite blouse. We filled out the paperwork correctly describing the items we sent to be cleaned, however, when we got them back the next day my blouse was missing. We kept following up with them for the remainder of the trip asking if they had found it…by the end of it, they finally acknowledged they couldn’t locate it. The blouse was not terribly expensive (around $55) but it was a favorite and it is not replaceable. Not to mention, for a 5 star resort to not offer any compensation or resolution was very upsetting. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. If you stay here, I do not suggest using the laundry services (or at least not sending anything valuable). Besides that, the service at the restaurants was great and the food was very good.

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.

Everything was perfect!! My husband and I travel all over the world due to professional obligations and we always try to stay to the best hotels. This is an amazing hotel! You should definitely stay there. The atmosphere, the food, the staff, the live music, the rooms are all perfect! Highly Highly recommended! I hope we could stay more but we had to go back to NY.

Stayed sadly for just one night as part of a small group tour of 14 with our guide . ||As “Senior “ people we have been fortunate to stay in some amazing hotels worldwide. |Your Hotel certainly rates among those having a Wow Factor .||The architecture, pools , gardens , decor , bathrooms were all fantastic.| Unfortunately we both found the bed & pillows were very uncomfortable, both being far too hard for us , so a good nights sleep was not really possible. ||Breakfast however was wonderful, although we must have taken the scenic route to the restaurant. |Great to have breakfast on the terrace , such a lovely choice of dishes & great service. ||We wish our tour company had booked 2 nights here . Maybe some day we will return for a longer stay .
