Ardamis

We absolutely loved our time there. Our hostess was very friendly and helpful, and the service was great from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect, the room was spotless and cozy, and we especially loved the sea view from the balcony. We'll definitely stay there again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The moment we walked into our beautiful room on the ground floor, we felt at home! The hostess is very kind and took the time to make sure we understood how to manage the lights and hot water switches. The location is excellent - right on the edge of a small green space next to the fortress wall, overlooking the sea. We only wish we could have spent more time in there to enjoy our room!

Very unique experience. The hotel and town and castle were very enjoyable.

What a lovely experience our stay here was. We received a warm welcome, and the rooms were so inviting and comfortable. Plus, the historical setting couldn't be beat! We would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in lovely Monemvasia.

A unique experience in a traditional guesthouse. Good host. There are lots of stairs around the property which adds to the charm in a very unique location. A level of fitness is required and don't take too much luggage!

bathroom is very small, and water are salty

This property was so unique. The host was very responsive and took really good care of us. Luggage has to be portered in and they came right away and upon check out they were very fast. The room was comfortable and in a beautiful location.

I absolutely loved this property. The owner was incredibly friendly and gave us great recommendations on what to do in the area. She even shared the fascinating story behind the property we had booked, which made our stay feel even more special. The place itself was spotless, beautifully furnished, and managed to preserve its traditional charm while offering a truly comfortable and memorable experience. When I return to Monemvasia, I’ll definitely be booking Ardamis again!

Staying at Ardamis was a magical and memorable experience!!!

Schönes, authentisches und grosszügiges Zimmer. Sehr nette Vermieterin. Uns wurde Wein, Wasser und Cola offeriert. Wir hatten sogar direkten Meerblick. Die Unterkunft liegt im unteren Bereich der Burg und liegt keine 3 Minuten vom Meer entfernt.

Check in was easy and Vespina very pleasant r and helpful. The room was funky and cool!

Clean, quiet, spacious.

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.

location and uniqueness of the place is a must see.

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.

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

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)!

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!

Very nice hotel, room was very spacious and with a lovely view, Ms.Despina our host was very friendly, helpful and smiley. We shall return for sure!

Monemvasia is incredible and Ardamis is the perfect place to explore it from.

Very comfortable and quaint suite. Great view, lovely garden courtyard, comfortable bed, wonderful host. We would definitely stay here again!

The suites at Ardamis were a perfect fit for us. We occupied two suites (two couples) and in addition to the generous space and character of the private spaces, there was a shared courtyard, shaded by a huge and gorgeous bougainvillea tree with a table and chairs perfect for enjoying a glass of wine and a snack together. A terrific spot in the heart of Monemvasia. Highly recommended.

My husband was here four years ago on a solo trip and was determined to make sure I returned to experience Monemvasia and this hotel in particular. It is the perfect location -close to the main entrance so you don’t have to carry luggage too far. Our hostess was so kind, with advice on where to eat and things to do. Such a delightful village. The bed was very comfortable – there is a small refrigerator. There’s a courtyard to sit in as well as a little back patio, depending on which room you get. The shower is small, so ladies washing your hair can be a little tricky, but I made it work. Get up with the sunrise] and hike up to the ruins early before the crowds/heat and catch the pretty light.

Einfach nur schön... Kein Frühstück, keine Parkmöglichkeiten am Hotel (sondern weit außerhalb der Burg). Dessen muss man sich stets bewusst sein. Es lohnt sich jedoch innerhalb der Burg zu übernachten - auch mit Familie.

Everything was great except for the mattress for the particular room where we stayed. The mattress was worn out and you could feel it. Very uncomfortable in any direction we tried sleeping in. My only complaint. Maybe they can consider renewing their mattresses.

Incredibly charming hotel! When I arrived the lady at the front desk explained that only 2 out of 3 rooms I’d booked were ready, but she very quickly chatted with one of the cleaning ladies and got it ready within 5 minutes. Very seamless check in, and the rooms are soooo cool! They are all very different from one another each with their own charm. The rooms have small kitchenettes with a few beverages for guests. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking to visit Monemvasia. It is also quite close to the front gate so it is ideal for those who don’t want to walk too far to find their hotel.

Fabulous stay in the most romantic castle in Greece!

Great place! Clean and roomy.

Truly, a great host and a fun experience. I recommend anybody stay with this host.

Lovely hotel

Fantastisk sted indrettet med charme og med respekt for denne helt unikke by.

Local muito lindo e especial com todas as comodidades possíveis para uma cidade medieval e bem conservada. Atendimento maravilhoso e atenção total.

Ardamis felt like a real treat for a romantic (or not romantic) stay. Great location, welcoming host, wonderful room and facility.

We really enjoyed our sea view room. Very unique hotel in a great location which is just inside the gate.

μοναδικη τοποθεσία και εξαιρετικοι ανθρωποι , αξίζει και το τελευταίο ευρώ

We stayed in a two level suite with a lovely balcony with sea view. It felt like our private castle. Very charming! We ordered breakfast and we had it in a small veranda in front of our room. We wished we had stayed longer. Monemvasia is a unique place.

Amazing

We felt like king and queen in this historic building that has been renovated with high care and aesthetics. We opted for a suite and had a fantastic balcony with a view of the sea. So quiet and very relaxing. Perfectly located just 3 min walk away from the shops, cafe and restaurants. The owner lady was welcoming and friendly. We appreciated the complementary drinks and wine and late check out. We will be returning. Thank you

we enjoyed a wonderful stay in Ardamis. This is a family managed resort where the owners are very kind and helpful. The flat we stayed in is developed in a three floors inside an historical house, really cosy and furnished with taste styled furniture. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Beautiful spacious property! Close to all

Exceeded all our expectations, Despina was a fabulous host. A unique location, it’s truely a hidden gem! A luggage porter is available if you require

Simply fabulous in every regard.

Sehr schöne Suiten ( nicht lediglich Zimmer), stilvoll eingerichtet, sauber, großzügig bestückte Minibar (umsonst), sehr freundlicher Service, gute Lage und einmaliges Preis-Leistungsverhältnis

Friendly staff.

If you have a chance to stay here, don’t miss it. Even with the parking issues the stay is totally worth in inconvenience!

Resepsjonisten som tok imot oss kunne ikke engelsk. Vi hadde bestilt et dobbeltrom, men resepsjonisten ville absolutt at vi skulle ha noe annet, en "suite". Pga språket ga vi opp diskusjonen. "Suiten" var ulidelig varm, kun soverommet var det mulig å være i. Det var kun der det var AC. 2 fryktelige døgn i en ellers nydelig by.

The place was everything I expected, the owners were very accommodating, over all we were very happy with it.

Όλα τέλεια

Unique stay in a historic inn and village. Beautiful village with stunning views. Cute shops. Fantastic meal in a local restaurant. Friendly locals.

It doesn’t get more unique than staying in a castle! Large room, amazing location. Shower and beds are very good. Excellent restaurants everywhere. The terrain can be difficult for those that don’t like traversing ancient ruins, but the view on Monemvasia is gorgeous!

Staying in the Kastro is a unique experience - when the tourists all leave in the evening there is a quiet atmosphere, but lots of dining options. And you feel so priviledged to wake up in the morning in such a beautiful place.

Beautiful location and a very clean and cozy suite.

It’s a great hotel, the room was rustic with a old world feel like your stepping back into the 1600s. I highly recommend staying here and you won’t regret it.

Hotel is conveniently located right inside Monemvasia fortress. Our room was nicely decorated and lights inside the room are very tough through to give it a unique appearance.

If you are looking for accommodation that is unique & a cut above Adarmis is the place. Combine with a very gentile owner, Mrs Desantis, you won’t find a better experience.

Incredible city and stay! Unique, authentic and inspiring.

Beautiful property in a fantastic location. Strongly recommended

A FANTASTIC, small hotel in one of the most spectacular locations I've ever visited. The proprietors were over-the-top kind and the breakfast was huge and delicious. Can't say enough good things about this stay!

This was one of the most special, beautiful places we have ever stayed. The rooms were beautifully presented and as charming as charming can be. The owners are very friendly and helpful, and the town of monemvasia is magical. We wished we could have stayed longer.

plenty of space, beautiful decoration, amazing bathroom. The internet needs to be fixed, very low signal

Huge room with a separate tv/living area. There are plates and utensils provided in the room for use
