About this condo rental

Nestled in Athens, this attractive condo for $854 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. (We prepared a video that you can find in the video section, with the apartment and the surrounding area of Lycabettus hill, so that you have a good understanding of our property). The place is unique for center of Athens. It has a large swimming pool (30m2) at the private roof garden, connected with the apartment through internal stairs. However, it is in the center of Athens not in the suburbs. The apartment is big 160m2 and occupies the whole third floor on a three floor building. However, it feels double size, since usually guests spend a lot of time at the 160m2 roof garden. The apartment is flooded with light looking at the hill trees and it has a beautiful fireplace. The building is very nice and peaceful with five only apartments and it is some meters away from the adjacent building, making it even more peaceful and completely safe. It is in the center of city and nightlife (7 min away by taxi from the Parliament and Acropolis), but not in the touristic and noisy center. It is in the peaceful area of Lycabettus hill right at the peripheral road of the hill, the highest living point. From the veranda the view is the hill trees, not the neighbor. From the roof garden terrace there is a panoramic view of Athens and hill trees. There is complete privacy, at both the veranda and terrace. You can swim, relax, sunbath or enjoy romance, in a healthy peaceful environment, although in the city center. The large roof garden sees north, south, east and west. It has sun bathing areas and also covered areas. Whatever you might prefer during the day. You can cook or order food and have dinner at home by the roof garden pool or at the veranda. You can swim whenever you want, day and night, with no hotel limitations. The place has a well designed and furnished interior with paintings and decorative objects. It has all the amenities WiFi, air-conditioning etc. In short it has it all for a relaxing, exclusive time. It is not hotel or a place to want to rush out. It is a place to stay, enjoy and spend time in the full of light living room or the big veranda facing the hill trees or at the roof garden, swimming and enjoying the view, after a site-seeing or working day. It is a real relaxation vacation home, although in the middle of Athens. Remember that Athens has a wonderful weather almost all year around. So normally roof garden and swimming pool are enjoyable almost all the time. As a result, the place fits perfectly to upscale couples, to families or to friends of 5-6 people that do not want the hotel limitations. People with good aura, who want to relax and enjoy, not people with anxiety, who treat the place like an impersonal hotel.

What a wonderful stay we had at the Penthouse on Lycabettus Hill. The property is in a perfect location. Local restaurants, markets, shops, and bakeries are just a short walk away; all historical monuments, museums other districts are a quick uber or taxi service. The penthouse is clean, comfortable, spacious, and peaceful. We were lucky that one evening Panathinaikos F.C. (local premier/professional soccer/football team) were playing a friendly match vs. Rayo Vallecano (Spain-La Liga) the city truly came to life and the atmosphere was just amazing! Just an incredible experience to witness and be part of. The host “Dimitris” is probably the best premier host that i have ever met through Vrbo. His communication was 5 star and he helped us with all necessary transfers to and from ATH airport. He was so welcoming when we checked in with fresh fruit, cold water, wine, and coffee. He sat us down and helped us navigate the area, went over the best places to visit and how to get there. He made us feel like we were part of his extended family. The property was perfect for us. We were a party of 6…no one under the age of 17. We were comfortable, never crowded, and the swimming pool was a wonderful bonus to help with the summer Athens heat. The A/C worked perfect and kept the house cool and comfortable during the day. Overall it was a 5 star experience. The views from the private terrace and pool area are worth the stay all within itself. Thank you again Dimitris, we will be back!!!

Dimitris went above and beyond by arranging cars for us, recommending places to go and even sitting down with my family with a map! The home is beautiful and the view from the pool at night is breathtaking!

Dmitris was a fantastic host. The property was in a great location, and the roof top pool was stunning. The big surprise was Dmitris art and book collection throughout the unit. Clean, safe, and family friendly.

Nice penthouse on the top two floors of an apartment building on the east side of Lycabettus Hill (a big park across the street). It was away from the busy tourist areas but within 1/2 mile from many nice neighborhood restaurants to the west. It had easy access to the downtown sites and we were also within a 1/2 of the City-Sightseeing bus stop 8 (by the National Gallery). The penthouse was beautiful and very well furnished. The layout was nice and huge balconies everywhere! Maybe 5! The host was very welcoming and was very quick to help us with WiFi. Great location to reach popular tourist areas, only 5 euro to most places by taxi/Uber. I would definitely recommend!

Dimitri was very accomodating. He had a very nice welcome to our trip. The pool was amaizing! The only feature that needs a little work is the stairs to the pool. I think there needs to be a hand rail for going up and down the stairs as the third bedroom is upstairs. But overall the apartment is amaizing and we would highly reccomend it!

Great location just far way enough from major attractions that you could escape when it was time to relax back at the home. Backs to a park with trails for exercise or relaxation. The upstairs pool area had a great view and plenty of room to sit and enjoy the pool and surroundings. Safe to walk around. Spacious and open layout.
