As byzantine and authentic as the Castletown of Monemvasia itself, BYZANTINO is the hotel where the history, the architecture and the modern facilities meet the warm hospitality, the home made tastes and the quality services. All year round fairy tale stay! Great advantage... the unique hospitality of Monemvasia provided in every level. The service, the friendly interaction and the personal interest of its people, who are always eager to accommodate you and inform you on anything you need. Special recommendation... the delicious handmade Greek Breakfast, made with select local products, based on traditional recipes, is prepared with the personal care and meticulousness of Mrs Anna and carries certification of the Hellenic Chamber of Hotels. Invaluable experience... the stay at Byzantino Boutique Hotel which targets "seekers" of memorable experiences, incurable romantics, keen nature lovers, cosmopolitans and history enthusiasts, who dream of a journey into yesterday with today's conveniences.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Medieval magnificence

We had a lovely night in this traditional spacious quadruple room . It was a great experience and the staff were friendly, professional and helpful. The breakfast was very nice with plenty to go around. The toilet had a strange smell but this was overcome by leaving the airconditioner running

Great Place to Stay - Amazing Rooms

What a wonderful place to stay. You are in a castle! This place is NOT for anyone with mobility issues. There are no cars allowed past the entrance to the castle. The old city and fortress are on the top of the mountain and the “newer” castle and settlement are just below. The paths are narrow and hard to maneuver, not everything is paved with cobblestone. There are many hotels, shops, and restaurants along with full-time residents. The owners of this hotel are the 3rd generation living within the castle. The rooms are super cool with a great view. Ours was very spacious but check out the circular stairs to get to it. The town is just across the bridge but being there only 2 nights, we did not leave. So much to see walking around. There is a place to go swimming! I would book this hotel again.…

Wonderful experience!

There’s not much to add to the superlative reviews from other guests other than to say we had a most enjoyable stay at this historic destination. Our room wasn’t huge but it had a lot of character, a comfortable bed and nice linen plus a balcony from which to enjoy a bit of a sea view. The service at reception was outstanding. The cafes and restaurants along the cobbled streets served fine fare and most had tables with decent views out to sea. Don’t bother trying to park your car anywhere along the incline up to the castle portico. Just leave it in the town car park and walk a few steps to catch the bus which leaves every half hour in each direction. It’s cheap and saves a potentially very long walk. We loved Byzantino Boutique Hotel and it’s surroundings. Also you must visit the clean SANDY beach at Elafonisos Island which is about 1/2 hour drive followed by a 10 minute ferry ride. The beach has calm,crystal clear water, plus food and drinks service direct to your beach lounger/ umbrella. It really is a great day out!…

Awesome small hotel in the heart of Monemvasia

We stayed here in June of 2022 and it was our favorite hotel in Greece. The hotel itself is spread out over several buildings just off the Main Street. You have to drop your luggage off at the city gate then go inside and left at the fork to get to the office on the main drag, then they show you to your room. If driving, you have to park on the very long causeway to the city and hoof it. Or you can park in the city parking lot just before the bridge and take a public bus to the gate (one every 30 minutes, I think). There is public swimming in the sea, by the sea wall. It’s pretty deep just an FYI and may not be great for small children or poor swimmers. Breakfast was ok.

Perfect hotel, perfect staff. Highly recommended!!!!

This is probably the perfect hotel in Monemvasia. Maybe in all of Greece. Very close to the entrance to the old town (very important, for loading the luggage, access to the car, etc.), great and charming rooms, beautiful design, and most important - a wonderful staff that strives to help in every matter and in every situation - even if they can lose from the advice they gave you. They try very hard to make sure you enjoy your stay in the town, and you can see that it comes from the heart. Highly recommended.

Very nice !

Nice 15th century room, perfectly integrated into the landscape and very well located. Very good breakfast, with Greek specialities. Very friendly welcome in perfect English. A baby bed was provided for us. Monemvasia is a must if you are in the Pelopponese.

Unique experience

Very nice hotel with great personnel, right at the heart of monemvasia. Our room had a nice terrace overlooking the sea. The place offers everything needed. Just be aware of the limited number of parking places outside the walls.

Amazing stay in Monemvasia

The place we have been, close to the tower in the main square, is the perfect spot. Perfectly located, quiet and very typical. Staff is super nice and helpful. Along the main street there are all the shops and bars you need and for the rest let yourself being enchanted by the place

Quirky and eccentric but beautiful.

What a beautiful historic little find. Our room had the best view overlooking the church tower and square. Our room was beautiful and very quirky. A comfortable bed with a real open fire. Our room was very warm and pleasant. Staff was welcoming.
