About this villa rental
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.

The host gave us a wonderful tour of the home, which looks directly up at the Greek flag on the Acropolis from the rooftop terrace. Great location. Comfortable home filled with lovely things.

Historical site, beautiful house, perfect location and a wonderful host! We were met on arrival for the keys and tour of the home and its history. Fascinating!!! The host even came with fresh fruit, yogurt, wine and water. Will absolutely be back! Thank you for your beautiful home and wish we were there longer. Photo is the view of The Acropolis from the driveway!

Great location, right at the footstep of Acropolis, few steps to Plaka for coffeeand restaurants. The house is amazing, like living in a piece of history, in an antique that is very well maintained with all amenities working perfect. Kitchen annd bathrooms fully equipped and clean. AC and fans keep the house cool. Every item in this house is picture worthy. The patio with beautiful plants and shade are amazing to spend time as well as the Terrace that looks at acropolis. I wish I had stayed longer and I will be definitely back to stay here again. The host Ioustinos was extremely helpful with every step of our Adventure too.
