Why we like it: authentic, inside Monemvasia castle, comfortable rooms and living areas, owners
OUR REVIEW
There are only three different units - that's all - that make up Monopati. You are inside the walls of the Monemvasia castle and just uphill, steps up
from the ancient village centre church, you stay here with a complete experience of Monemvasia.
The owners - a fine and interesting, most welcoming couple, will be as keen to know your stories as you may be to ask them about Monemvasia...they love the place as it is their chosen, adopted home, but they are truly international in outlook so those seeking conversation over a glass of local wine, a notch above the prattle of the crowd...will enjoy it!
The suite, the apartment or the little house - choose which stone constructed area and space suits you best.
Traditional aspects of Monemvasia are revealed and a homely welcome is assured here. Yet each part is independent. At cooler times of year the under-floor heating provides the best source of warmth available and air conditioning is there for warmer months.
Monopati is 150 m from the entrance to the Castle (the "rock") - the walk is on cobblestone (as everywhere within Monemvasia) and some ancient final steps as you approach the place. Pedestrian access only.
