Kinsterna Hotel & Spa Monemvasia

Hotel Overview

There is a dreamy, magical place hiding in the perfect valley in Southern Greece among idyllic vineyards, olive groves and citrus trees, just minutes away from the blue Mediterranean. The Kinsterna Hotel, once an impressive mansion and estate dating from Byzantine, Ottoman and Venetian times, has carefully been returned to its former glory with an air of luxury.

Overlooking the legendary castle rock of Monemvasia, the Kinsterna has revived centuries-old traditions such as winemaking and olive oil production, recreating the perfect model of sustainability. Fruit-bearing trees, fertile vegetable patches, aromatic herb gardens and the endless supply of spring water all help support this outstanding philosophy.

Beyond its fascinating history as a wealthy refuge and lord's mansion over several centuries, the Kinsterna today is an all-year hotspot for excellent accommodation and holidays. Visit the wine cellar, experience the locally inspired treatments at the spa and sample the freshest Mediterranean recipes in a fine-dining atmosphere. A visit to the Kinsterna represents an experience that will no doubt be etched into your memory for years to come. And you will be back.

Rooms

AccommodationTypes :

 

Double Rooms of the historic Kinsterna Hotel are fully equipped with all necessary facilities in order your accommodation to be comfortable and elegant. A blend of the Aegean Blue, the Rock of Monemvasia and Mountain is the most usual view of the Double Rooms. The bathroom made from local marble, the traditional wooden windows and the special dantelle technique faced on walls and lights are only some of the characteristics you will be thrilled with. There are queen size mattresses and pillow menu from Cocomat.

Suites : These suites will astound you with their beauty as you enter into a world of timeless architectural sophistication. While some Junior suites offer a breathtaking view of the blue Mediterranean and summer scents emanating from the herb gardens off their semi-private terraces, others have fireplaces reminiscent of the mansion’s long history, offering the perfect treat for colder winter nights.

Kinsterna Suites : You are going to highly appreciate your stay in the Kinsterna Suites, considered the best on the property with their private balconies and stunning views of the sea and vineyards. One of these suites is particularly interesting with its intricately designed traditional fireplace and little balcony where in ancient times the inhabitants crushed grapes to make wine.

Byzantine Suite : Byzantium would be proud to have these suites named after it, as the vaulted domes, stone archways and generous spaces have made many visitors to this mansion envious. Choose the room with an outdoor terrace if you like to sit outside and read a good book from the mansion’s library or enjoy a warm cup of morning coffee as you take in the nature around you. Opt for the sea-view rooms with the castle rock of Monemvasia in full view if you want breathtaking Mediterranean landscapes.

Deluxe Suite : Throw yourself on the plush queen-size or king-size bed and revel in your gorgeous suite. Discrete touches of tradition such as fine chandeliers, stone-built walls, hardwood floors and knitted curtains mix perfectly with high-tech amenities and ultra-luxurious marble bathrooms in a suite that's no less than 35 meters square. You'll be surprised to know that once upon a time the living room in one of these suites was a kitchen with a hidden trapdoor used to load foodstuffs from the old cellar and olive press which can still be seen today.

Garden Residence : Can you imagine opening the front door of your house to be greeted by the Garden of Eden? Nothing beats having your own partial sea-view garden with its very own vegetable patches. You won't want to leave our Garden Residence once you check in. Then again, once you take a bubble bath and slip into your finest evening wear, you might be tempted to walk over to the main building for drinks and dinner, or take a stroll in the castle town nearby.

Master Residence : Once you find yourself in this Mediterranean two-bedroom apartment with private veranda set amid the Kinsterna gardens, you will more than likely understand why Greece is referred to as the land of the gods. Put on your favorite music or watch your favorite satellite TV channel while you prepare your outdoor breakfast, then take a leisurely walk around the grounds to admire this little piece of paradise. During a rare chilly evening, light a warm fire and cozy up to the fireplace.

Deluxe Residences : Facing the Aegean Blue from the private veranda of Deluxe Residences of the historic Kinsterna Hotel, you will feel the elegance of luxurious. Every Deluxe Residence is spacious enough and equipped with all necessary facilities in order to accommodate your family and live an authentic lifetime experience.

Kinsterna Villa : Enter into a lavish world that blends ultra-modern comfort with traditional local architecture. Representing the latest addition to the Kinsterna, these two fabulous villas with their semi-private pools and independent nature will take your breath away. Built on a split level, each villa lies serenely in the Kinsterna gardens right next to a fresh-water stream, complete with high-tech amenities and design-led furnishings. After exploring the nearby castle town and majestic region, your villa offers a superb corner to unwind and relax. Invite friends over and let the Kinsterna's chef prepare a sumptuous meal using local products and homegrown ingredients from the mansion's vegetable gardens and orchards. In the meantime, you can play your favorite internet radio station over the free Wi-Fi connection and live a true Mediterranean life. During colder evenings or in the winter, get together by the fireplace to share romantic moments.
