Homestays in Elafonisos

The room is located literally by the beach, with a bar/restaurant on the beach as well. Nice location for chilling out on the beach, great food, friendly staff.

Everything was very good. Mostly liked the big balcony and the location. It is a bit aside from the city center but still walkable (10mins). Very quiet, excellent breakfast with local products. Very friendly staff.

Property was as described, host was very nice and gave us lots of info. We only stayed for a night but it was as expected.

Fantastic dramatic location with perfect hosts; John and Chris cooked us very tasty dinners both nights - we felt well looked after during our stay. Genuinely hope to go back and stay with them again.

The place is great if you want to relax. Peaceful hills around, black skies at night…. A car is a must. Is it far from the beach or Monemvasia? No, but it all depends on your demands – check on Google Maps – it gives you a realistic idea. Privacy is complete (there are some houses not too far behind, and people live there, but I only met somebody once). For us, it was ideal. But this depends on your needs. For instance, we never met the host in 8 days there. I liked this fact, but this also meant that we had to buy food for breakfast, because the promised breakfast was not included. There was food when we came, which lasted about 3 days, but after that, that was it; I wrote to the owner and the owner responded that he couldn’t bring more food, because he lived far. So when you compare prices, do not take ‘Breakfast Included’ into account, if you stay longer than 3 days or so. So what you get is an ideal place, a cosy suite, and a complete privacy for a reasonable price, but without any service, if that’s important for you. We spent some time in Monemvasia almost every day, and it became more interesting each time we got there, but I would not choose it for vacation rental. In Guesthouse Kamara, we were surrounded by greenery, olive groves, while in Monemvasia, there’s mostly stones, ruins, and tourists. It’s very interesting and beautiful in Monamvasia, but not really relaxing, I’d say. Also, I wanted to mention, we made many furry friends there. Nice little cats and kittens in need of food. They ate ANYTHING we gave them, including BREAD. I mean each and every one of them. They were nice and gentle, but appeared pretty hungry, and we couldn’t stop ourselves from buying sausages and cheap fish for them. And we had to give out sausages piece by piece to make sure everyone gets some. So yes, I do recommend this place for a complete relaxation… And don’t forget to treat the cats!

In one of the historical homes of Monemvasia, with all historical features still present and carefully restored. The room we had was essentially a suite - we had one area for the bed and a separate sitting area with armchairs and a TV (and a whole Christmas tree for ourselves!). We arrived during extremely unfavourable weather (torrential rain and wind) and were welcomed most warmly by the owners.

Good location. Friendly staff.

The room was amazing, and it was helping your imagination to think how the life used to be in that place. It is located in a place that you have easy access to the whole castle/city. The staff was very kind and helpful. Also, breakfast was amazing as well.

The hotel is about 500 from the beach BUT you need to walk uphill. Fortunately, we had a car and hence it was not an issue for us. There is no breakfast at the hotel unless you order one (which is brought to the hotel from some place downtown. Being rather high the hill gives this place a big plus: The view is breathtaking.
