Historical Accommodation

Guesthouse Kellia Monemvasia offers stone-built rooms inside the medieval castle, each opening onto a private patio with Aegean Sea views. All spacious rooms feature beamed ceilings, air conditioning, a minibar, and a kettle, with private bathrooms stocked with free toiletries and a hairdryer. A shared lounge with a fireplace provides board games and a space for reading, while free WiFi is available throughout the property.

Location & Setting

The guesthouse is located 350 metres from the main gate of Monemvasia's fortress and 50 metres from the nearest beach, with local taverns and shops within a short walk. Surrounded by quiet castle walls, the property offers a peaceful setting with direct access to the sea and the rock of Monemvasia. Guests can explore historical attractions inside the castle, including the church opposite the hotel and the cobblestone streets of the old town.

Dining & Local Produce

A complimentary bottle of local wine welcomes guests upon arrival, alongside other locally sourced products from nearby organic farms. The guesthouse does not serve breakfast during the 2024-2025 season, but in-room supplies such as fruit, juice, tea, and snacks are provided. The owners also run a wine shop on the main street, where guests receive a discount on tastings of local wines including Malvasia.

Activities & Services

On-site activities include hiking and fishing, with a games room and board games available in the lounge area. Luggage assistance is provided from the main gate, as cars cannot enter the castle, and the tour desk offers maps of the medieval town. The property also has a chapel/shrine and can arrange guided walks; fax/photocopying is available upon request.

Personalized Hospitality

The owners offer a wine tasting experience at their affiliated shop, where guests sample five local wines paired with cheese, olives, and salami. Families can book the two-bedroom apartment with fireplace, which includes two en-suite bedrooms and a living space with sea views from a private balcony.
