Charm and luxury with beautiful views
Pros:

Our stay at the Kinsterna Hotel near Monemvasia was very pleasant—a great place to relax while being conveniently close to Monemvasia by car. The beautifully restored mansion exudes charm and luxury, surrounded by picturesque gardens and stunning views. The staff provided exceptional service, and the buffet breakfast was amazing, carefully prepared and showcasing local dishes and produce, as well as standard hotel fare. I highly recommend this tranquil retreat for an unforgettable getaway.

Cons:

I was not happy with Room 42, but that was, of course, my selection. Don’t get me wrong; like the rest of the property, it is beautifully furnished and very comfortable. However, it is at the bottom of the building and has no outward-facing windows, which made it feel like a cave to me. There is a small portico with a metal café table and chairs where you can sit outside, but the main access path is in front of it, so electric buggies ferrying people and staff regularly go past. There are plenty of other beautiful spots to sit, but we also like to have a view from our room. The pictures are not misleading, but they do not convey the full story for this room. Normally, I choose the right room; this time, I didn't. Note to self and others for the future! I need to get better at voicing my concerns during check-in and moving to a different room if possible. The property wasn't full, so perhaps this would have been achievable. Another functional issue with Room 42 is that between the bed area and the bathroom, there are two sets of steps—a potential hazard in the middle of the night if you need the bathroom.

Ultimately relaxing
Pros:

If you are looking for utter relaxation do not look any further. Kinsterna is gorgeous with a very easy going and happy vibe. The food is excellent, your surroundings breath taking and the spa is ultimately relaxing thanks to Xenia, hostess of the spa.

Pros:

Η διαμονή μας στο Kinsterna Hotel αποτέλεσε μια πραγματικά ξεχωριστή εμπειρία, ένα αυθεντικό «ταξίδι στον χρόνο». Η αρχιτεκτονική του χώρου είναι εντυπωσιακή, με απόλυτο σεβασμό στην ιστορία και την ελληνική παράδοση, ενώ ο ιστορικός πύργος του 17ου αιώνα προσδίδει έναν μοναδικό χαρακτήρα.

Το προσωπικό ήταν εξαιρετικά ευγενικό και πάντα πρόθυμο να εξυπηρετήσει, με ειλικρινές χαμόγελο, γεγονός που αντικατοπτρίζει ένα υψηλό επίπεδο επαγγελματισμού και σωστής οργάνωσης. Η φροντίδα προς τον επισκέπτη είναι εμφανής σε κάθε λεπτομέρεια, καθώς η καθαριότητα είναι υποδειγματική, με καθημερινή – ακόμη και διπλή – περιποίηση του δωματίου και ανανέωση λευκών ειδών.

Ιδιαίτερη μνεία αξίζει στο πρωινό, το οποίο είναι εξαιρετικά πλούσιο και ποιοτικό, με μεγάλη ποικιλία επιλογών που καθιστούν δύσκολο να αποφασίσει κανείς τι να δοκιμάσει πρώτο.

Συνολικά, πρόκειται για έναν χώρο όπου κυριαρχεί η αγάπη, το μεράκι και ο σεβασμός στην ελληνική παράδοση, ενώ η σχέση ποιότητας τιμής είναι απόλυτα ικανοποιητική για το επίπεδο των παροχών.

Θα το επισκεφτούμε ξανά με μεγάλη χαρά.
