Boutique hotel inside the medieval castle of Monemvasia

Location & Setting

Byzantino Boutique Hotel Monemvasia is the only hotel located inside the inhabited castle town of Monemvasia, a fortified settlement that has been continuously inhabited since 583 AD. The hotel's rooms are spread across independently built traditional houses within the castle walls, offering guests panoramic sea views from most private balconies or terraces. Shops, restaurants, and the archaeological museum of the fortress town are within 100 meters of the reception area.

Rooms & Accommodations

Hotel Byzantino offers independently built traditional rooms and apartments with beamed ceilings, wooden floors, and classic furnishings that reflect the historic architecture. Room types include Superior Double Rooms with Balcony, Superior Quadruple Rooms, and Quadruple Rooms - Split Level, each with air conditioning and some featuring a fireplace. Most units provide sea views from the balcony or window, with bed configurations that cater to families and groups.

Dining & Breakfast

The hotel serves an award-winning Greek breakfast buffet using local products and traditional recipes, which has been praised repeatedly by guests as the best breakfast of their trip. Breakfast is offered in a separate building with an outdoor seating area that has sea views, with a variety of fresh pastries, eggs, yogurt, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. For selected guests, complimentary wine is offered in the afternoon as part of the personalized dining experiences.

Services & Amenities

Byzantino Monemvasia provides a luggage porter service from the castle gate to the room, essential given the cobblestone streets and steep steps within the town. The hotel offers airport shuttle, car hire, concierge service, and luggage storage, as well as free Wi-Fi in all common areas. Pet-friendly accommodations are available upon request, and safety deposit boxes are provided in the rooms.

Nearby Experiences

Guests can walk directly from the hotel to the medieval castle of Monemvasia, including the upper fortified town and the Church of Hagia Sophia, a 20-minute climb from the lower town. The hotel provides beach towels for swimming at the sea just outside the fortress walls, where guests can see colorful fish.
