Homestays in Elafonisos

super-friendly host, nice location, clean room

 Very close to the sea with a beautiful sunset  Walking distance to Village .

John & Christos are fantastic people who happen to live in paradise. If you love nature, this is the place. Amazing landscapes, crystal clear water, secluded beaches, good food and an incredible garden. The house is brand new and originally decorated, and nothing beats the views from the room balcony. You will sleep perfectly. We wish we could come back every year.

The place is great if you want to relax. Peaceful hills around, black skies at night…. A car is a must. Is it far from the beach or Monemvasia? No, but it all depends on your demands – check on Google Maps – it gives you a realistic idea. Privacy is complete (there are some houses not too far behind, and people live there, but I only met somebody once). For us, it was ideal. But this depends on your needs. For instance, we never met the host in 8 days there. I liked this fact, but this also meant that we had to buy food for breakfast, because the promised breakfast was not included. There was food when we came, which lasted about 3 days, but after that, that was it; I wrote to the owner and the owner responded that he couldn’t bring more food, because he lived far. So when you compare prices, do not take ‘Breakfast Included’ into account, if you stay longer than 3 days or so. So what you get is an ideal place, a cosy suite, and a complete privacy for a reasonable price, but without any service, if that’s important for you. We spent some time in Monemvasia almost every day, and it became more interesting each time we got there, but I would not choose it for vacation rental. In Guesthouse Kamara, we were surrounded by greenery, olive groves, while in Monemvasia, there’s mostly stones, ruins, and tourists. It’s very interesting and beautiful in Monamvasia, but not really relaxing, I’d say. Also, I wanted to mention, we made many furry friends there. Nice little cats and kittens in need of food. They ate ANYTHING we gave them, including BREAD. I mean each and every one of them. They were nice and gentle, but appeared pretty hungry, and we couldn’t stop ourselves from buying sausages and cheap fish for them. And we had to give out sausages piece by piece to make sure everyone gets some. So yes, I do recommend this place for a complete relaxation… And don’t forget to treat the cats!

It was perfect and we highly recommend it

The room was beautifully appointed and clean with great views of the medieval buildings and the sea below. Nice modern take on a traditional design. The hosts were lovely and very welcoming.

In one of the historical homes of Monemvasia, with all historical features still present and carefully restored. The room we had was essentially a suite - we had one area for the bed and a separate sitting area with armchairs and a TV (and a whole Christmas tree for ourselves!). We arrived during extremely unfavourable weather (torrential rain and wind) and were welcomed most warmly by the owners.

Truly a delightful and hospitable stay! I had everything I needed, plus unreal views as a cherry on top. Elafonissos is a small island, so a drive to the beaches from the property never took more than 10ish minutes despite being located on a hilltop.

The location, the accommodation, and people’s incredible kindness

Clean, beautifully decorated with all the necessary amenities and some extra treats. Katerina is present with a big smile to ensure your stay is memorable. She offered great advice and exceptional service. Best host ever!!
