Kinsterna Hotel is not just a hotel, but a unique historical experience. Housed in a magnificent restored 17th-century Byzantine mansion, it is set within a vast vineyard, olive grove, and orange grove in the Laconia region. It offers sophisticated luxury and a deep immersion into the history and nature of Greece, with views of the Aegean Sea and the Monemvasía fortress.
Each room and suite is a masterpiece of design, featuring original architectural elements such as centuries-old stone fireplaces, wooden ceilings, marble floors, and thick stone walls that keep the rooms cool in summer and warm in winter. The furnishings are elegant and personalized, with traditional 'lace' tapestries, ensuring modern comfort in a historic setting.
The name Kinsterna is derived from its ancient water source. The heart of the hotel is its splendid pool that literally begins at the spring, meandering through the property. There are also seasonal panoramic pools overlooking the Monemvasía fortress and the sea, offering a swimming experience of absolute relaxation and beauty.
The dining is based on a 'farm-to-table' philosophy, utilizing the hotel's extensive self-production (olive oil, wine, fruits, vegetables, and honey). The restaurants offer refined and authentic Mediterranean cuisine. The tasting of local wines produced directly on the estate is a must-try.
Guests can participate in unique estate-related experiences, such as olive harvesting or observing the winemaking process. The Spa offers holistic treatments with natural products. The proximity to the medieval fortress village of Monemvasía (a short drive away) and the possibility of horse riding excursions complete a stay of luxury and cultural adventure.

His Opinion: La demeure est exceptionnelle Avec une vrai recherche d authenticité, de tourisme responsable et durable dans un très beau cadre
Les points forts : une piscine magnifique et originale, des jardins luxuriants, des produits locaux, la propreté et le choix des matériaux dans les chambres, des animations thématiques intéressantes
Les points faibles : la literie très inconfortable et à rénover, le spa beaucoup trop cher et payant ( on ne peux même pas utiliser le bain à remous ou le sauna sans réserver ni payer, 130€ pour une heure pour 3 personnes )
Le restaurant principal dans une salle froide et sans aucun cachet, carte très réduite avec peu de cuisine typique, accueil froid et distant des responsables de la réception qui n expliquent pas le fonctionnement de l hôtel
