    perfect location in the old city of Monemvasia. The room was a part of an old house and it kept the atmosphere of the old but comfort. Facilities were more than ok (bathroom, fridge, coffee, tea).

    Lovely 800+ old building in the lower town so the room was compact but had everything I needed for a couple of nights.

    The room was clean and minimal. Our host recommendations were great and definitely improved our morning! It was nice to sleep in an authentic room. The instructions for the arrival were great and we received some snacks.

Vecchia casa sterna is a small(11m2) but very practical and cosy rum perfect for couples or ond person who want to experience living in a real castle. Advantages: a)Really low price,b) 1 minut walk to the rocky beach ”portelo”,c)the house is very close to the main door of the entrance to the Castle, which gives it an important asset in terms of accessibility and traveling around. It is located close to the heart of traditional small cafes, tavernas and artisan shops. The Portello at the bottom of the city walls is a 1-minute walk away and allows you to swim while admiring the castle walls. A unic experience you will remember forever. The rum is also totally renovated july 2022.
Hi, I'm Polytimi. I'm glad you picked this place and hope to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The house is beautiful, old and historic and more than 800 years old.”Vecchia Casa sterna” is a small cosy and totally renovated rum(11m2)on the ground floor of our house(ni view). You can enjoy your coffe at our outside table and enjoy the sea which is only 1 minut away from our house. On the main path of the castle you will find many restaurants and shops to enjoy along with the wonderful view. The old Town of Monemvasia is a medieval castle where cars are not allowed. The standard procedure is to reach the gate, unload your luggage and then park your car away from the castle, at the free parking spaces near the town. There is a shuttle bus that can take you to the castle from the town for a very small fee. Feel free to contact me if you have any queries. I will send you more information about the check in (automatic)as time approaches. Best, Georgia
If you're looking to stay in Monemvasia you probably already know a few things about how special this place is...but here's a quick summary: The fortress dates back to 583 by mainlanders fleeing Slavic and Avaric invaders. From the 10th century AD, the town developed into an important trade and maritime centre. The fortress has withstood countless invasions and seiges over the centuries, earning it the nickname 'Gibraltar of the East'. Today it is one of the most picturesque places in Greece, and that's saying something!
