Kinsterna Hotel: A rural mansion transformed into a world-class hotel

The Kinsterna Hotel is a Byzantine-era rural mansion which was painstakingly restored with great respect to its long history, with the intent to establish a comprehensive settlement encompassing the main mansion and surrounding houses.As part of its renovation, all activities that took place in the past on the premises were revived. In this context, private label products including wine, extra virgin olive oil, olives, tsipouro (a Greek spirit), bread and marmalade are now being produced on site.

Tucked away in the folds of the lush hillside, with privileged views of the Medieval Castle’s Rock of Monemvasia (Peloponnese, Lakonia region) and the endless blue of the Aegean Sea, the restored Byzantine-era rural mansion offers unique rooms, atmospheric suites and autonomous residences and blends magically into the surrounding vineyards, timeless olive groves, imposing eucalyptuses and the lofty cypresses, within an estate of 18 acres.

The Kinsterna Hotel breathes a new dimension in the concept of luxury. The enchanting nights with a glass of wine from the local privately owned vineyards next to the Byzantine cistern, the incredible culinary creations from the Greek and the Mediterranean cuisine, with delectable local products and ingredients cultivated in the estate, in the Kinsterna Restaurant, the traditional hearty Greek breakfast at the new all-day restaurant, the impressive river-like pool with private relaxation areas amidst the fragrant orange trees, and the atmospheric Kinsterna Spa, with the signature treatments and the highly qualified therapists, highlight the unique experience of the mansion’s guests and fully justifies why Kinsterna Hotel was included in the prestigious Condé Nast Traveler’s Hot List as one of the 65 best new hotels in the world!
