Beautiful property and grounds, super friendly and helpful staff, and amazing food at all restaurants. However, for us this place was too family friendly. So many young children screaming and crying everywhere. We didn’t have a single meal from breakfast to dinner where children weren’t yelling and running around.
Even the adult pool had children at it and staff didn’t enforce anything. If you’re a family with young children this place is perfect for you! But if you’re a couple or adult friend group, this place likely won’t be the relaxing place you likely have in mind.
The hotel is unique property set in a stunning location on the hillside, a little tricky to find, but it is a real oasis of calm and quality in a rural setting.
There is a very relaxed vibe and it will be hard to single out anything but needed improving.
Beautiful hotel a few km outside Monemvassia. Lovely pool area. High quality rooms - really well appointed.
Excellent breakfast.
Note however that the hotel is a 5-10 minute drive from the nearest town - the last km up a narrow lane. Prices of food and drink on site are significantly higher than the local norm
The staff, the location, the food - everything was wonderful. We didn’t want to leave! There’s no easy way to get to town if you don’t have a car so we just stayed on the property for our 2 day stay, which was just fine with us. We took a tour of the gardens/mansion and laid by the pool. We enjoyed their complementary breakfast both days and dined at Mouries. The other restaurants/tavernas were not open yet this early in the season. Be sure to check/book their activities we wanted to do the wine tasting but this had to be booked with 48 hrs notice.
This is an amazing resort hotel which is a castle. Our room was pretty incredible with a sitting room and bedroom. Everyone who works there is really nice and there are many things to do including activities (for adults and kids), swimming pool, walking around, etc.
And the food is really excellent and I would eat there versus in town.
A special place with a special and unusual atmosphere
A little more generosity from the staff would have been helpful
Little things like being unclear about the cost of crackers and wine that were on the table are not appropriate for a hotel of this level
Kinsterna Hotel was the most beautiful property we stayed at during our trip to Greece. They have amazing amenities and wonderful pools, a fantastic breakfast and a helpful staff, and a great on site dinner. I suggest you call ahead to get directions up the mountain as Google maps may take you to a dirt road nearby fields, and you will need to turn around .
Hotel molto particolare molto ben arredato e dotato di ogni comfort comprese due piscine di cui una riservata ai bambini. Posizione tranquilla in mezzo al verde con bellissimo giardino e frutteto. Dovrebbe migliorare qualità cibo e servizio del ristorante internazionale.
Kinsterna is a flawlessly planned and built five star hotel, rich is high quality details. Materials and craftsmanship are superb, beautiful woods, pool, guest areas.

מלון מיוחד בעל מורשת היסטורית המתבטאת בעיצוב המלון וחדריו. מיקום על צלע הר עם נוף טבעי ומלא באין ספור פינות חמד קסומות.
ארוחת הבוקר טובה, אבל השרות היה איטי ביותר, וחסר מגוון של ירקות טריים.
חשוב לי לציין לטובה במיוחד את

Unique and characterful place.
Room was a bit small but ok.
Slight problem was the music playing from the restaurant at night and in the mornings which was audible from our room (despite the restaurant being closed while we were there...)
Amazing place to stay in Greece. Fantastic service and wonderful property. I will be coming back ASAP! The views, gardens, rooms, are all thoughtfully designed and executed perfectly. A fantastic hotel!
Perfektes Resort, in der mischung aus Tradition und moderne...in allen bereichen engagiertes, herzliches Personal . Ein Ort zum Wohlfühlen und seinen Preis wert!
We had the best stay at Kinsterna - the staff were welcoming and accommodating and everything was perfect. I’ve been back to Kinsterna five times now and I’ve never had a bad experience.
Not for me, I’m afraid. Large, sprawling hotel with very little signage. Spent an awful lot of time walking and lost. Had breakfast in a Conference Centre. Can that sentence ever evoke a sense of glamour??? Very impersonal. Had paid in advance but they still presented me with the room bill. No apology.
Good points? The rooms are beautiful.

Dear guest,
Thank you for your review. We have decided to use our conference center in order to acquire more space for our guest during breakfast time following the instruction of local authorities for distancing due to Covid. We understand that spending just one night with us is not adequate time to explore the mansions beauties which expand at over 50 acres field. The bill is a legal document that we have to issue regardless the way of payment.
We hope to see you in the future to enjoy the Kinsterna experience.
Excellent hotel close to Monemvasia. Perfect for a relaxing getaway. Everything is organized so that you feel completely private. Breakfast is excellent. I also highly recommend the fine dining menu. You will never want to leave! We look forward to returning soon.
schöne Anlage, die Anfahrtsstrasse ist schon etwas Rau. Das Restaurant war gut, vielleicht etwas überteuert, dafür war das Frühstück top. WLAN Zugang war miserabel.
Une restauration irréprochable d’une ancienne forteresse en ruine,avec sa citerne comme réserve d’eau d’ou Le nom de Kinsterna.
Le confort ne souffre d’aucun manquement dans notre chambre éclairée de meurtrières.
Les piscines sont esthétiquement et pratiquement splendides.
Les bars et restaurants sont à un niveau inhabituellement élevés pour la Grèce.
Le service est attentionné et aux petits soins.
Monemvassia et Elafonisos sont à proximité et de nouvelles routes ont désenclavés ce bout du monde méconnu !
Hôtel de charme et de luxe
Magnifique infrastructure et environnement somptueux
Un super bonus pour le personnel qui est parfait : attentif et charmant
El hotel tiene un encanto especial similar al de una masía, con mucha naturaleza e historia. La única pega que se le puede sacar es el hecho de que está montaña arriba por una carretera bastante mala
Unique setting. Hidden but sprawling, luxurious, refined. Excellent food, friendly, helpful staff.
The only negative (and a significant one), is the woefully inadequate Wi-Fi, not only in the guest room, but throughout the majority of the property. Downloading anything is an impossibility so do so before you get there.
We had the most amazing time staying at the Kinsterna. It really is truly a special place to stay for a real break, a chance to disconnect in a classy countryside retreat. We enjoyed the spa and yoga sessions and the freshly home grown organic produce the olive oils and honey is outstanding delicious.
The building has been meticulously restored and renovated. Views for miles and close to explore the unbelievable charm of Monemvasia. Cannot recommend the Kinsterna enough and will most certainly be back !
Beautiful hotel and grounds with knowledgeable and dedicated staff. Room, views, dining, service.. all beyond first class. You only live once, so do it here.
