01 · In a sentence

Lazareto Hotel in Monemvasia 230 70, open JuneOctober.

Guests arrive at Lazareto Hotel via a dramatic causeway leading to the medieval fortress of Monemvasia, where stone architecture and Aegean views frame every moment.

The hotel occupies a restored 16th-century building within the castle walls, offering intimate ceremonies in candlelit courtyards and receptions overlooking the sea.

From arrival to departure, guests experience the sensory contrast of ancient stone, salt air, and modern Greek hospitality.

Great location and beautiful grounds. But the rooms were very run down. The bathroom very small and hard to manoeuvre around and it completely flooded during a shower. Mattress was not great. Wifi didn't work. The breakfast was nice and the bfast staff were very friendly.
