Velanidia Hotels

"Amazing and wonderful "

"Well signposted from the main road to know where to go and an easy parking lot to find. Julia checked me in and she was absolutely lovely. So helpful and kind. The room is fantastic and plenty of space. Bathroom was a good size and there was plenty of space for my bags. A small dining table with tea and coffee was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay!! "

"Clean and spacious room. Excellent host"

"One of the best hotels I've ever stayed at. The hotel staff was super welcome and very attentive. The hotel is basically a farm that offer free experiences like bread-making and candle-making. We also booked a private beekeeper experience which was the highlight of our trip which was followed by honey tasting with the local beekeeper Mr Kostas who shared his knowledge and love for the bees. The breakfast was excellent and worth visiting as a standalone offering as well. Thank you so much!"

"View was fantastic! Slept well in a very comfortable bed. Room and bathroom were clean. Room was on the ground floor with courtyard. Was able to open back door and walk to fortress wall for spectator view. Next visit plan to try an upper floor room. "

"Amazing view from my room, wonderful staff and right in the centre of town Breakfast was great with staff even asking if I wanted tea and scrambled eggs for breakfast on arrival."

"Service was amazing. Room was spotless. Our view was incredible!! Breakfast buffet was really good. Would definitely come back!!"

"The experience of staying within walls is something else. Monemvasia has managed to capture and maintain the feel of an ancient fortification while giving one the comforts of modern civilization (indoor plumbing!) The Likinia Hotel is well located, about a 5 minute walk away from the main street and sufficiently separated. At times you even have the feeling that you have the whole fortress to yourself. Since the family room was the last available option, we had an entire apartment with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to ourselves. The rooms were very clean and spacious, especially for just two individuals. We recommend booking well in advance or checking with the hotel directly so that you can get an appropriately sized room and allow more people to experience the place :) The staff were kind and even helped with our bag up the final winding route to the room. The breakfast was a smaller spread but comprised of very high quality food in our opinion. The complimentary bottle of wine for the stay (a regional variety) was also a nice touch. The view from the room was also quite nice and we could look out onto the sea over the tops of other buildings. It was a really nice experience. We would recommend the hotel for it's location and will consider going back if we visit Monemvasia again."

"The Kythea Resort was a wonderful hotel to stay at and the hotel staff made this especially true. The room was clean and a minor issue we had with the flush tank was resolved quickly. A special thank-you to Dimitra for this! The property overall is well maintained and located away from the busy parts of the town allowing for privacy and good views. The breakfast was scrumptious and the staff proactively ensured all guests had a good experience. Anna in particular suggested several places to visit and recommended a quaint restaurant named "Taverna Platanos", in Milopotamos, which is worth a visit. Athena who was at the reception desk in the mornings was also really helpful and recommended we visit the Karavas bakery, a definite must-do when you're in Kithira! Due to its location, the hotel was a good base for excursions to the northern parts of the island. With a car, visiting all parts of the island, including southern areas like Chora and Avlemonas is an option. We would definitely stay here again the next time we visit Kithira!"
