Ardamis Guest house

The room was beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony with our morning coffee. The staff who greeted us were incredibly friendly. We highly recommend this place.

Our room was large and comfortable, with 3 levels: one for the bedroom, one for the living area, and one for the bathroom. (This is a hilly area and the buildings are original, so the multi-levels are to be expected.) There was a small kitchenette with a refrigerator, sink, and kettle. We had our own seating area outside our room but did not use it. Instead, we enjoyed the terrace with a view of the water.

Excellent place
A well-appointed and comfortable historic property, staying in a castle! Despina is a wonderful host, and staying inside the castle walls is worth the effort of stairs.

Big and comfortable room. Great location. It was nice to stay inside Monemvasia.

This was such a charming and beautiful place—small, quaint, and perfect for our needs. The location was ideal, just steps from the water, and full of the quiet magic of village life (we even heard donkeys passing by in the morning!). Our host, who lived upstairs, was kind, welcoming, and truly embodied the spirit of the town. A helpful man at the entrance assisted with our bags for a small tip, which made arrival easy—especially since no cars are allowed and the only way around is via winding stairs. The space was perfect for both kids and adults, and we’d absolutely stay here again.

An absolute gem of a property. Close to the towns entrance and great staff. Rooms are amazing

If you have not gone to Monemvasia before, choosing Ardamis as your lodging is a WONDERFUL option. We were extremely comfortable as a family of four; the parents had their own room across the facility from the kids. The location is central with everything in short walking distance. The staff are kind and inviting and they even included mutliple water bottles and cans of Coca-Cola to welcome us. And, of course, Monemvasia itself is a once-in-a-lifetime destination... watching the sunset from the cobblestone streets or from the cool ruins atop the island are memories we will never forget. We loved our stay and would gladly go again. Thank you!

Absolutely stunning views, comfy bed, great space, beautiful host nothing out of place

Perfect, but not for those with mobility issues
Absolutely magical town and adorable accommodations, but you may want to avoid if you have any elders in your traveling party. There are many steep, uneven, and slanted steps within the castle and down to the Ardamis hotel. I did not realize when I booked that the rooms would be multi-level, with bathrooms and beds separated by several stairs or up/down a whole flight. Definitely not ideal for the 90-year old man we had traveling with us! The host was SO kind though, letting us view all the available rooms to find the one that would work best for us. She really bent over backwards to help us, and I would stay there again (next time without my elderly father-in-law). The rooms were very well appointed and comfortable. It felt like sleeping in a luxurious castle! I wish we had spent a 3rd night; only 1 full day in Monemvasia was not enough. The hike to the top was spectacular, and you have to stop at the wine, honey, and olive oil shop for tastings (and to bring home tasty souvenirs)!

Great stone experience
This property is an excellent location in Montemvasia. The staff was welcoming, the location and position (right new the water) is beautiful. We would commend this to anyone that wants a comfortable, roomy experience. There is a marble well-cap in the center of the room that the archeological people didn't want to remove. I'm glad they didn't. We say a picture later in the museum!
