Single-family detached house 160 m², to be refurbished, Center, Monemvasia

A family home or a wine bar and rental apartment in the Castle of Monemvasia area

An investment or a unique family home? In this medieval house in the Castle of Monemvasia there is today a wine bar and two rental apartments but it all started with a longing for a unique holiday home in a unique location. Although the Greek Ministry of Culture recently announced (2023) plans to accelerate three major cultural development projects in the city of Monemvasia then this property is first and foremost for you who understand the magical location.

This fantastic house was bought in 1964 and restored from ruins in 1972. The owners used the tower as a holiday home until 2001. They also lived in the house permanently for a couple of years and from 2011 the house was converted into a wine bar and rental business. Here you can apply for the ESPA program that is part of the NSRF (Enterprise Agreement for the Development Framework). NSRF 2021-2027 is the basic strategic plan for the country's development with the help of significant resources from the European Union Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF).

The house, or rather the tower is located in the Byzantine fortress of Monemvasia. The tower has 3 floors:

The top floor is today a popular AirBnB rental apartment with a private bathroom. From this floor you have a view of the rooftops, the gardens, the fortress walls and the sea
Downstairs is another bedroom with its own bathroom and its own exit to the Byzantine city. This floor is also used today by the AirBnB guests. Important: on this floor you can build a balcony. It took 30 years to get permission and the buyer can take over the granted building permission
The ground floor is accessed via an external staircase and here you will find a mezzanine (loft), kitchen area and a large living room with access to a small patio. Today, a well-visited wine bar is run on this entire floor"Byron's Wine Kamara".

Price: €695000, the owner is flexible and open to offers
Building year: probably around the 1000 A.D.
Energy certificate: will be updated shortly
Recent renovation: Total renovation 1970-72 and since then ongoing entertainment works. Note that a renovation will be required and the buyer may receive a report from the structural engineer. The report contains an approximate assessment of what is required to keep the house in good shape and how much the renovation work may cost
Livingspace: 160 sq m. Today there are three bathrooms, a mezzanine, two bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room
