Alpha Guide's evaluation

A very special accommodation proposal in a five-hundred-year-old building, in a verdant area that reminds of Tuscany and ensures absolute sense of privacy. The authentic architectural and construction elements refer to the Byzantine, Ottoman, Venetian and modern Greek periods of the building and yet converse harmoniously with the present through modern –functional and decorative- materials. The old cistern gives the hotel its name and creates an aquatic “corridor” that runs through different parts of the common areas. The rooms are different from each other and divided into Kinsterna suites (the most idyllic rooms), deluxe (with views of the Castle), Byzantine and junior suites and standard double rooms. They are characterized by ergonomics, they feature stunning marble bathrooms and very imaginative decorative ideas, which enhance the building’s historical character. Even if you don’t stay here, you should definitely come for dinner at the particularly atmospheric restaurant, which serves Mediterranean cuisine with emphasis on the products of the estate, at tables “hovering” over the Byzantine cistern. To get there, you need to cross a small piece of dirt road that starts from Agios Stefanos, 7 km. from Monemvasia. Frequent packages for weekends which include activities in the estate. At the same time, an expansion is under way, which in its final form will consist of a central building of common use, a new swimming pool and six smaller buildings that will house 23 residences. Eight of them are now ready.
