Malvasia Traditional Hotel

Great hôtel, traditional, in a beautiful place. The lady at the reception was welcoming. The great breakfast was a plus. My room was small but nice, with a little terrace. I loved the rocking chair! But the frigde make SO MUCH NOISE, all night.

We loved our 1 night stay. I am so glad we decided to stay on “the rock” versus just visit for a few hours. We were able to walk the rock, have an aperitif overlooking the sea, enjoy our room with a balcony, and savor a great meal outside overlooking the sea. The hotel is nice / you are taken to your room by the front desk staff (note: leave your big suitcases in the car and only take a small bag because you need to walk quite a ways over cobblestone streets). Our room 8 had a lovely balcony and we slept with the windows open with the moonlight streaming in until the winds started in the early morning. It was interesting to see the juxtaposition between the calm seas in the afternoon and the white caps in the morning. I could sit all day and look at the mountains in the distance and the boats coming to the harbor and the sunrise and sunset. October was a great time too visit - not too hot and not a lot of tourists. Highly recommend!

Our room here had everything we needed, a comfy bed, powerful shower, air con, a fridge, a sitting area inside, a balcony with a wonderful view, loads of character and privacy. We loved our stay here and spent a an hour each evening watching the sun set from our balcony. We knew about the parking and the situation of the hotel (at the end of a long cobbled street) so no issues there. A great place to get a feeling of Monemvasia. Loved swimming off the rocks at the edge of the island. Breakfast was in a shady courtyard and had a good selection.

Great experience staying in the castle. Very good breakfast with fresh orange juice and yummy lemonade. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel at home. The only negative point is parking in the summertime since there are no cars allowed in the castle.
