About this villa rental

Located in Plaka, this attractive villa for $1,055 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Ever wanted to sleep in the shadow of the mighty Acropolis? This is your chance! We offer you a splendid, 200 year old family home built at the very foot of the rock itself. In fact part of the old city walls pass directly through the house itself! Located deep inside Plaka, this is truly a one of a kind property for those wishing to spend their time in the most charming of Athenian neighborhoods. The house is built on 2 levels, with large homely kitchen and 3 bedrooms on the ground floor, whilst upstairs is the large and comfortable living room, a TV room/study and the master bedroom. A doorway from the lounge leads to an outside metal staircase that takes you to the roof terrace which has unparalleled views of Athens, including Lycabettus and the Olympic stadium at Kallimarmaro. Of course there are several views of the Acropolis walls, which is just behind the house. There is also a lovely back garden with shrubs and trees and lots of seating. This is a very rare find for central Athens. This charming house has been furnished with great care and detail, with old furniture, including handsome family heirlooms, antique books, tapestries and beautiful artwork on the walls. Please note there are several ancient artifacts placed in and around the house, including fragments of ancient columns and statues. These were found on the site and have been preserved. In the back garden there is also a small shrine to St. Paraskevi, which is visited by pilgrims once a year on her feast day. Land Registration Number  050097317015

This is a gem! It’s a historic villa literally under the Acropolis and in the middle of the Plaka district but not noisy. It’s a real home filled with wonderful atmosphere and with patios and a rooftop looking up at the Parthenon. Unique Athenian experience!

This home is incredible. It is a small Grecian villa in the middle of town. Views of the Acropolis, right in the middle of the historical Anafiotika, walking to amazing shopping and restaurants. And, yes, the Acropolis is right across the street with views from the courtyard. Inside, four bedrooms, spacious kitchen, charming second story living room. House is full of memories and amazing artwork. This family cares about their home and are generous to share it with others.

We loved this charming house centrally located in the Plaza. Within walking distance of the Acropolis, shopping, and restaurants. The home has all the amenities, the outdoor areas and terraces were perfect for morning coffee and relaxing in the evenings. We liked the historic importance of the home and old world charm. The hosts are terrific and very helpful. Would highly recommend.

What a special place! The house and garden are beautiful. They are rich with history (unmatched! during our entire stay in several homes in Greece) yet have all the modern conveniences and comforts needed for a wonderful stay. The kind and prompt communication with the owners and the amazing tour of the home upon our arrival helped us feel very much at home. Everyone had privacy with comfortable beds, lovely linens and clean bathrooms with plenty of hot water and nice toiletries. Most importantly, we also had many spaces to gather together. The garden which felt like a "secret garden" as it is quite large with orange, lemon and olive trees, lots of seating and a large rock that reportedly fell from the Acropolis but is hidden from the people visiting the area. The rooftop space gave us exclusive views of the Acropolis which were breathtaking especially at night. We also enjoyed an evening of fireworks in celebration of Greek Easter from the rooftop which was a great surprise. The living room area allowed another lovely space to gather in the evenings with it's well-appointed furnishings and decor yet a warmth that invited us to relax and enjoy being together. We didn't use the television room but it looked like a cozy room to watch a movie. The kitchen is well stocked with incidentals like olive oil, spices and coffee that were thoughtful and convenient. The location of the house is perfect. We were able to walk to the sites we wanted to see and had plenty of restaurants/cafes to chose from in the Plaka neighborhood. We didn't schedule a transfer from the airport to the house and took a taxi--fortunately, the owner of the house called us upon our arrival and spoke to the taxi driver in Greek allowing us to get to the right location promptly. We scheduled a transfer through the hospitality group that assists the owners for the return trip to the airport and it was seemless and timely. This house was a very special beginning to our Greek adventure. It was a great privilege to be in the presence of such history and at the same time feel so comfortable that we truly felt at home. Thank you Ioustinos, Nikolas and your family for your hospitality, kindness and sharing your captivating home with us.
