Charming Luxury In The Historical Center Of Athens
Europe/Greece/Athens Vacation Rental
3 bedroom, 3 bath vacation apartment sleeps 8
Imagine yourself in the heart of the historical center of Athens. Your morning begins with a cup of coffee in a flower filled garden, surrounded by bougainvillia. Just outside the door of your furnished rental apartment, the Plaka, the Acropolis and the Ancient Agora await your exploration.
The Athens Heritage House apartment is on the first floor of a Neoclassical 3 story building that has undergone a total gut renovation and partial rebuild. It is absolutely beautiful.
The apartment has two bedrooms and a romantic courtyard garden studio with en suite bath. In the main house one bedroom has a Queen and the other two twins, and a convertable daybed in the living room sleeps two more guests. This immaculately restored home is an ideal short term rental steps from the Plaka. The bedrooms look out onto the lovely orange tree lined side
street which connects into the pedestrian zone that meanders its way into Plaka, Monasteraki, past the Ancient Agora, around the Acropolis and up Phillopapou Hill. It is an amazing location! One block over is another pedestrian zone, lined with cafes and restaurants, and around the corner a set of stairs leads you to yet another path. If you are a jogger, hiker or just someone who likes to explore on foot, this is the place to be if you are.
The kitchen and living room are designed with an open floor plan, which is terrific because it opens on to the house's courtyard, which is secluded from the street and surround on all sides by the building. Filled with flowers and plants, it is a lovely place to enjoy a cup of coffee as you plan your day's activities or sip an ouzo or frappe in the late afternoon.
The kitchen has a cooktop, microwave, dishwasher and refrigerator, along with plenty of dishes and cookware. There is also a full size washer and dryer (no need to spend your holiday hanging clothes out to dry!). There is one full bath and one half bath, and a beautiful "bath" room with an original (restored) clawfoot tub.
The apartment also has complimentary, unlimited high speed internet.
This home is designed to offer guests a true home away from home, familiar and comfortable with the same amenities they have at home. It is part of an exclusive collection of luxury Athens villas, penthouses and historical homes that offer 5 star luxuries in a self-catering short term vacation rental. As owner/managers, we are sharing our home with guests and thus we still find we are among the only 2 and 3 bedroom, 2 bath apartments in downtown Athens and we may be the only apartment in the Athens area in general to offer a full size washer and clothes dryer, free high speed internet, computer and printer on request, cribs and luxury bed and bath linens.

3 Month Availability Snapshot for this Vacation Rental
"Last month, we stayed in the Acropolis View Beta apartment for eleven days. Carole and Basil have done a wonderful job with the place. It is comfortable and nicely designed with a wonderful modern decor. We felt right at home. It exceeded our expectations. We enjoyed both the shared terrace on the roof for viewing the city at night as well as spending time on the smaller apartment terrace just gazing out at the activity in the street below. We immediately felt at home in the neighborhood as well, lounging in the afternoons at the Terra Cafe just down the street sipping espresso with ice cream. We can't stop talking about our terrific trip, about how much we enjoyed Athens, its ancient sites, its exciting nightlife, the excellent food we had, and the fun day trips we took to Santorini, Hydra, Sounio/Temple of Poseidon, and Delphi. The apartment was the home base we enjoyed coming back to each evening. We fell in love with Athens, the Greek culture, and the Greek people. We can't wait to be back!"
