    It was wonderful. We were slightly concerned w all the steps (as seniors) but we went slowly and did well. Wonderful trip!

    We were very kindly upgraded from a double room to a suite at no charge. The room was spacious and beautifully renovated, with the bedroom upstairs having lovely views. Ardamis is very close to the main gate so you do not have to carry your bags...

    Great location, it’s very close to the entrance to Monemvasia, which was very helpful for moving our luggage around, and it’s also right next to the main street of shops and restaurants. Our suite was also right against the ocean, which was cool....

    Monemvasia is one of the most stunning places my wife and I have ever been, a mysterious citadel with a long history and astonishing vistas. To stay in the old town is a true privilege. Our room at Ardamis, a medieval stone structure that has been...

Property info

The Traditional Guesthouse Ardamis is housed in the most significant building of the Monemvasia castle, whose history goes many centuries back. It was the governor's house during the Venetian rule and a residency during the Ottoman rule, while two Byzantine emperors have also been welcomed there. The building was renovated with respect, without absolutely any alteration of the areas, keeping its particular architectural elements intact, thus highlighting its beauty and history, while at the same time offering all modern luxuries. When the renovation started a Byzantine coin was found in the ruins dated back to 711 A.D. which is now exhibited in the Numismatic Museum of Athens and is unique in its kind. Some of the guest house special elements are the unique Castle tower, 14 meters high with seven windows, an 800 years old marble well, a true copy whereof is exhibited in the Museum of Istanbul and a picture whereof is exhibited in the Castle Museum, and of course the guest house 100 m2 balcony right above the sea which many Greek and foreign magazines and visitors have called <the Mediterranean terrace> .
