佩特里諾旅館(Petrino Guesthouse)

This may be a very good pension in Monemvasia. However, we decided not to stay; a major dredging operation was ongoing in the harbor directly in front of the inn, and other construction was ingoing just behind the inn. Although we arrived before check in time, and the construction stopped in the afternoon, the next day it was going full blown in the morning again. Obviously, photos on the website did not show a dredging operation, but Management should be upfront with clients about changing context and views. Again, this might- when dredging is completed- be a very nice place to stay or, if you don’t care about views and construction noise during the day, as you might just be looking for a place to lay your head at night, this might be very good.

The location was great-we were able to start our hikes to the monasteries right from the hotel without dealing with parking nightmares. Check in was not done in person. You needed to follow instructions from the owner to put code in to get a key. Was a bit complicated especially since we arrived when it was getting dark. I prefer having an in person introduction to the room. The room was clean and the beds comfy but it was very dark. One of the lamps did not have a bulb in it. They took care of it for us but the light was still not sufficient. There were not many places to plug in electronics and none by the bed. The breakfast was pretty bad. We ended up eating breakfast our last day in Kalambaka.

We had a fantastic stay at the Guesthouse Sotiriu. It’s a solidly built building with beautiful warm wood inside. The view from Our room was awesome overlooking Kastraki. The hostess is an extremely kind lady and her helper as well is very friendly. They provide a hearty breakfast in the mornings, the cute little dining room has a homey feel about it- it’s overlooking the garden. They get fresh bread everyday which is super yummy. mrs. Voula gives great recommendations of the places of interest, restaurants and taxis. We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay here if we ever go back

Booked for one night but stayed for two. Really beautiful accommodation and a super breakfast with a fantastic host. Would definitely come again to this lovely spot which is perfect when the sun shines and cozy when it doesn't.

Old-fashioned decor - in a positive way - and typical architecture. Impressive location at the foot of the rock formations and close to the major monasteries with a short taxi ride. The village offers a number of decent dining options but steep and hilly roads may constitute an obstacle for those who have diffculties walking. (Which would also be a problem to visit the monasteries as such.)

Lovely guesthouse accommodation in a wonderful location. Includes free parking in front of the house which was very helpful. Walking distance to restaurants, and the breakfast was great!
