    “Outstanding location in the hills outside Monemvasia, it’s an ancient Manor House restored and converted into a resort hotel with beautiful gardens, views and 2 restaurants. There are 2 fabulous pool areas and a spa - we had a lovely time here - Monemvasia 5 minutes away is a wonderful day out as well”

    “Μοναδική εμπειρία η διαμονή. Απίστευτο περιβάλλον με μοναδική αισθητική, προσεγμένα όλα στην παραμικρή λεπτομέρεια. Έχεις την αίσθηση ότι βρίσκεσαι κάπου στην Τοσκάνη. Το ξενοδοχείο συνδυάζει καταπληκτικά την απλότητα με την πολυτέλεια. Το προσωπικό φοβερά εξυπηρετικό και ευγενικό, σε κάνει να αισθάνεσαι πολύ άνετα. Το πρωινό απλά είναι σε άλλο επίπεδο με καταπληκτικά τοπικά προιόντα (πίτες, μαρμελάδες, φρούτα, γλυκά κλπ), πολύ δύσκολη η επιλογή. Φοβερή εμπειρία το φαγητό στο εστιατόριο Μουριές (ένα από τα εστιατόρια του ξενοδοχείου), πολύ νόστιμα πιάτα, καταπληκτικό σέρβις και κυρίως φοβερή ατμόσφαιρα το βράδυ.”

    “Absolutely beautiful hotel and grounds, and easily one of the best hotels we've ever stayed at. The level of service is exceptional. We stayed in a Residence Suite, which was spacious, comfortable, and well-appointed. The grounds and pool area are stunning, with stunning views in every direction. Most importantly, the staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and made our stay memorable. We truly appreciate the lovely anniversary gifts. Thank you for your kindness and excellent service!”
