Homestays in Elafonisos

Magdalena is very kind person and she made our stay very pleasant. Food is excellent and restaurant is on the beach so you could have romantic evening with the sunsent, beach and sea view. Rooms are cozy and clean and beds are confortable.

 Very close to the sea with a beautiful sunset  Walking distance to Village .

Location, location, location. Owners John and Christos are there to make your stay special, they are friendly, knowledgeable and their local cafe is in the heart of the community and is an excellent place to eat and drink.

The place is great if you want to relax. Peaceful hills around, black skies at night…. A car is a must. Is it far from the beach or Monemvasia? No, but it all depends on your demands – check on Google Maps – it gives you a realistic idea. Privacy is complete (there are some houses not too far behind, and people live there, but I only met somebody once). For us, it was ideal. But this depends on your needs. For instance, we never met the host in 8 days there. I liked this fact, but this also meant that we had to buy food for breakfast, because the promised breakfast was not included. There was food when we came, which lasted about 3 days, but after that, that was it; I wrote to the owner and the owner responded that he couldn’t bring more food, because he lived far. So when you compare prices, do not take ‘Breakfast Included’ into account, if you stay longer than 3 days or so. So what you get is an ideal place, a cosy suite, and a complete privacy for a reasonable price, but without any service, if that’s important for you. We spent some time in Monemvasia almost every day, and it became more interesting each time we got there, but I would not choose it for vacation rental. In Guesthouse Kamara, we were surrounded by greenery, olive groves, while in Monemvasia, there’s mostly stones, ruins, and tourists. It’s very interesting and beautiful in Monamvasia, but not really relaxing, I’d say. Also, I wanted to mention, we made many furry friends there. Nice little cats and kittens in need of food. They ate ANYTHING we gave them, including BREAD. I mean each and every one of them. They were nice and gentle, but appeared pretty hungry, and we couldn’t stop ourselves from buying sausages and cheap fish for them. And we had to give out sausages piece by piece to make sure everyone gets some. So yes, I do recommend this place for a complete relaxation… And don’t forget to treat the cats!

Excellent value for money and family run business with owners on site. Spacious accommodations.

Excelent breakfast, very clean accomodation furnished with good taste, perfect location even close to the beach, which I didn't expect at all

We had such a nice stay here! The house is so beautifully decorated, have an amazing view. The owners are so friendly. Definitely recommended !

Outstanding location in the old city of Monemvassia. Very confortable room and nice balcony. Beautiful decoration. Seeside view.

The owners and staff were amazing to deal with and so kind and attentive to ensuring we had the best time at their hotel. We absolutely did and were sad to leave after our 3 night stay! You really can’t beat this location if you are visiting Monemvasia with kids, the hotel is located facing a church and large square where kids can play freely within view from the family room’s balcony. It’s nestled in a quiet corner of the town but still very close to the main square with all the shops and restaurants. The apartment is great, has two spacious bedroom with en suite bathrooms, a living space overlooking the water (which I personally enjoyed with a cup of coffee each morning from the balcony!) The evenings in the patio were great for relaxing with a nice local wine, looking at beautiful towering peak and the old stone walls light up at night. The guesthouse itself is extremely unique and filled with history!

Customer Service from Manager was excellent. She was so helpful and friendly. Room was spic and span. It was equipped with everything we needed. Plenty of heat and the mattress was very comfortable. We were happy it was in walking distance to town and the castle - the uphill kept us in good shape.
