THEOPHANO is such a classy hotel. Mrs Fani and Mr Christos have built an elegant place that captures the beauty of Monemvasia. It is built in the most picturesque spot of the village. Thank you for your accommodation and kindness, hope to be back soon.

Unfortunate choice
The suite we reserved had hardly been cleaned. The room itself was spacious but the bathroom was extremely tiny. If you were not careful and lifted your arms in the shower you might break the glass door and hurt yourself. Thin mattress and even thinner pillows. Hardly any wifi or tv reception.

Response from Theophano art hotel on 28 Oct 2020
We are very sorry for your negative review. Firstly, we are very surprised by your comment on cleanliness. Your room was thoroughly cleaned before your arrival. So, we can only attribute your remark to the fact that during your 2-day stay, the cleaning lady did not enter your room for house keeping. This is part of the measures many hotels take to prevent incidences of the corona virus. The hotel is housed in strictly restored 16th century buildings, so in some rooms bathrooms cannot have the standard hotel size. The glass door is made from securite glass so it cannot break. Both the mattress and top mattress are from COCOMAT – you must have mistaken the top mattress for the main mattress. The pillows are filled with feathers and are typical for hotels.

Excellent location, along the award-winning town square, in the heart of the fortress, and thus easy to walk to and from, yet at once very quiet and private. The hotel is charming architecturally speaking on both the outside and the inside, with historically furnished rooms and common areas. The hosts are kind and personable, and the breakfast they serve is quite original and just delicious!

Great location by the sea in Monemvasia
Incredible location by public swimming area. The hotel has a lovely roof top terrace available to guests. The proprietors built this wonderfully-situated property themselves years ago and are rightfully proud of it. They were welcoming and helpful orienting us around Monemvasia. Overall, our stay was very comfortable and our room was clean, secure and quiet. If they would upgrade their mattresses and pillows, I would rate it a 5.

Beautiful Place and lovely people
The Hotel is in front of the sea with a beautiful view of the little church. The Hosts are really welcoming and helpful. The breakfast is home made and delicious! The Castle is full of lovely restaurants, natural pools and ancient monuments. It is a relaxing place full of history. I was really happy with the room, service and place I will recommand this place completly!

Beautiful House
The Theophania is a beautifully restored house with charming hosts. We stayed in the Konstantin room which has a large terrace with a tiny bit of sea view from the terrace and the room was light an airy for a Monemvasia room.

Right in the Castle & Lots of Stairs
This hotel is right in the castle and the place is a maze and hard to walk on the stone type path and tons and tons of steps everywhere. Helpful hint!! As you first walk into the castle, bear to the left even though the hotel sign says to go to the right. Going to the right is a much longer and confusing way to go. Bearing to the left is the main path and you will see signs for the hotel as you keep walking. Once there, One of the girls did come out and help us with the bags. We had a suite and it was a very nice size room with high ceilings and a lovely view outside the balcony but it did have a tiny bathroom with a shower. If you are a big person, it will be hard to take shower. I am small and I had a hard time. There is little street parking and you have to park your car down the hill in single file. You can either take a bus up to the castle (1 euro each way) - and the bus comes every 30 minutes or walk up. The castle has some restaurants and cute little unique shops.The owner of the hotel doesn't speak English well so it was hard to communicate with her and the rest of the staff speaks NO English at all but are all very nice people and are helpful. The Virgo room, had the tallest ceiling and door walkway from the few that I saw and a lovely view outside the balcony. The wifi did not work well in our room and was limited to the large bed that "sometimes" worked.

Beautiful boutique hotel
Theophano Art Hotel was everything, and more than we hoped, for our stay in Monemvasia! Our room was spotless, and so quaint with its fireplace and patio viewing the sea! The location at the edge of town was so quiet and peaceful, though a bit of a challenge with heavy luggage to transport. We learned that we need to travel lighter! Our continental breakfast was served as scheduled by our very friendly and helpful hostess who upgraded our room without charge! You will not be disappointed with a stay at Theophano Art Hotel in magical Monemvasia!

The hotel is gorgeous! Awesome decoration and great hospitality! A place for romance! The breakfast was heavenly and the town is beautiful. My only observation was that the room needs more pillows because I usually have three or four around me, which is a bit of a problem outside of my house, but the owner was awesome and provided the extra pillows I asked.

Πολύ όμορφος ξενώνας που σου θυμηζει άλλη εποχή
Το ξενοδοχείο είναι μέσα στο κάστρο τα δωμάτια είναι σε διάφορα κτήρια πολύ καθαρά, στο δωμάτιο που μέναμε ήταν μεγάλο άνετο. Ίντερνετ καλό το μόνο μείον που θα έλεγα είναι πολύ μικρό ο χώρος του μπάνιου. Πρόγευμα υπήρχε έξτρα και ήταν στην τιμή των 9 ευρώ το άτομο με παραδοσιακά προϊόντα.

Anbefales!
Theophano hotell er et koselig sted, med hyggelige eiere! Damen som hadde med renhold/frokos å gjøre var ei veldig god dame! -og veldig flink! Helt rent over alt!! Hotellet ligger litt fra hovedgata, og det er mye trapper, og høydeforskjeller, om du er dårlig til bens. Sengen var veldig god, og dusjen fungerte som den skulle. Vi valgte frokost en morgen, og det var egg, ost og hjemmelaget syltetøy, samt gresk rispudding. 9€ ekstra pr person. Vi hadde en privat terrasse, og det var også en flott takterasse der! Vi vil anbefale hotellet, og reiser gjerne tilbake!

ein außerordentliches Hotel in einem wunderbaren
mal wohnt wie zu Hause im 16. Jahrhundert mit dem modernen Komfort. Das Hotel liegt perfekt auf einem breiten Platz, es gibt kein Lärm, viel Licht und die Besitzerin ist sehr bemüht sicher zu stellen, daß Sie auch, Ihr Stadt lieben werden! Nur muss man wissen, daß es kein Autos, Mofas oder Fahrräder gibt. Man muss alles zu Fuß erledigen un es gibt viele Stufen in allen Gassen. Leicht reisen sonst muss man das Gepäck hoch und runter tragen! Wenn man rechtzeitig im Hotel angerufen hat organisiert Frau Theophano ein Transport für Gepäck mit Schubkarren! Es ist alles sehr exotisch aber unvergesslich.

Wunderschönes Hotel zentral in Monemvasia
Wir waren für einen Wochenendaufenthalt im Theophano Art Hotel. Das Hotel ist sehr zentral in Monemvasia gelegen, unmittelbar vor einem Kirchplatz mit Blick auf das Meer. Wir wurden sehr freundlich von der Inhaberin persönlich begrüßt. Gleich zu Beginn fiel uns auf, dass das Hotel sehr geschmackvoll mit antiken Möbeln und (Kunst-)Gegenständen eingerichtet ist. Ein "Art"-Hotel eben. Im Keller befindet sich ein kleines Museum, welches die Geschichte des Ortes recht eindrucksvoll widerspiegelt. Von Zeit zu Zeit finden dort kleine Musikaufführungen statt. Unser Zimmer mit Balkon war zweckmäßig aber ebenfalls schön eingerichtet. Alles ist noch sehr neu, da das Hote erst vor drei Jahren eröffnet wurde. Unser Balkon hatte leider keinen Blick aufs Meer. Wir hatten allerdings direkten Zugang zur Dachterrasse, die mit bequemen Stühlen ausgestattet ist und einen tollen Blick auf ganz Monemvasia und das Meer bietet. Nachts lassen sich hier auch wunderbar die Sterne beobachten. Das im Preis enthaltene Frühstück ist komplett hausgemacht. Die Auswahl war recht übersichtlich aber davon hat alles sehr gut geschmeckt. Insgesamt also ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Tavallisuudesta poikkeava kaunis hotelli
Kaunis, siisti ja tasokkaasti entisöity hotelli upeassa miljöössä. Hotellissa kiinnitetty mitä pienimpiinkin yksityiskohtiin huomiota. Hotellin omistaja on erittäin avulias ja herttainen, saimme paljon vinkkejä lomaamme varten. Koska hotellirakennus on vanha, jokainen huone on erilainen. Meidän huoneemme oli iso, jonka parvekkelta oli merinäköala. Kreikkalainen aamiainen tarjoiltiin ulkoterassilla Maria Callaksen musiikin soidessa taustalla.
