The Theophano Art Hotel is a unique hospitality experience in the Castle of Monemvasia. The building’s exciting architectural features and its exceptional interior design come together to create a unique environment that everyone can enjoy, and takes its guests on a journey back in time that no one will ever forget.
Each room has its own distinct personality, and offers guests the warmth of a traditional mansion house. The hotel benefits from a privileged position on Chrysafitissa Square, and extends over four buildings, which were restored in 2012.
The Theophano Art Hotel enjoys a very privileged position within the traditional settlement. It is situated on Chrysafitissa Square, the largest open space within the Castle, which extends all the way to the fortification walls and overlooks the Myrtoo Sea.
It is also a short distance from the historic Portello, the Castle’s only opening with access to the sea, for swimming. The journey to and from the central gate is relatively easy, with moderate uphill or downhill stretches.
It is housed in a complex of four stone buildings, built in 2012. The surviving traces of the original structures, in themselves very interesting and abundant in architectural features, were restored with great care, consideration, and environmental consciousness, to create a harmonious union of impeccable aesthetics, comfort, and tradition.
The existing stone structures were lined with insulating materials and Byzantine mortar, to ensure a pleasant indoor temperature throughout the seasons. The existing archaeological features were left untouched and can be seen throughout the hotel. The cisterns (traditional water tanks) found on the grounds have been repaired and put to use. The ornate floors are all handmade.
The central building forms the hotel’s façade and is located directly on the square. It houses the reception, the lounge, the breakfast room and a number of other common areas, with entrances from both the square and the adjacent cobbled alleyway. Behind it and on the sides are the remaining three buildings, with a central atrium.
Cobbled streets on either side of the complex lead into the square. Only a few steps will take you from one building to the others, via the alleyways, the square or some short stairs. The terrace is on the roof of the building behind the central unit, and is accessible to all guests via the adjacent alleyway.
Breakfast
We serve a simple breakfast, based on traditional Greek cuisine, which is prepared on site. Depending on occupancy levels, we offer either a self-service breakfast buffet, or table service in the dining room and the atrium.
Breakfast is served between 9:00 and 10:30 a.m. Our aim is to provide a homemade breakfast that complements the inherent warmth of the Theophano Art Hotel.
