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
"Incredible, delightful, helpful, useful, beautiful, spacious! All of these words do not adequately describe the beautiful home setting that Carole and Basil have created for their visitors to Athens. I am an experienced traveler that has stayed in the cheapest to the expensive. I have planned trips myself and I have used travel agents. I have used many online service to find those special places for my two girls (4 & 8) and my husband. The four of us are not hard to please but easy to spoil. By far this is the best online experience I have had in the last two years of traveling. When I found the accommodations provided by the Kezios I didn't realize I wasn't just renting a space for my family (six of us in our group included my mom and dad) but I was about to embark on an experience of a life time. Our apartment was beautifully decorated and very functional for our family. I don't know how many times I have rented an apartment with Satellite only to realize that no one knew how to work it or find English channels to watch. We had a fully stocked ready to start feeding our hungry family kitchen including a welcome basket of goodies and treats. It was nice not to have to drag a computer with us as one was provided for our stay. Also in the apartment were guide books, everyone in the neighborhood knew the owners of our apartment and the store was literally right across the street. The beds are to die for and every night we were so tired and the beds just hugged us good night. Carole takes a lot of pride in knowing Athens and it is apparent in her offerings and recommendation. I have been working at planning several of our family vacations and I just needed someone to make my family vacation happen for me. I gave Carole our specifics about our family, likes and dislikes and said she should take charge of what we should do during our stay. The week prior to arriving we exchanged emails and we began the final plans for our arrival. We had airport pick up arranged by Carole, we arrived at the apartment and was met by the housekeeper and given a tour of the facilities. Then I revealed the weeks itinerary planned by Carole. Everyday I would receive a new or updated plan as Carole watched the weather and made recommendations based on sunny days. Now this in itself is full service but she did all this from the States. Carole was able to put together a wonderful day of Greek cooking in the Apartment with a wonderful pastry chef published in one of Greece's cooking magazines. Nick our driver also recommended by our hosts, took us on two day trips and was our airport connection. I cannot say enough about how he made sure our family was comfortable and even helped my parents with a little restaurant get away while we played on the beach. You would be crazy not to stay here and be well cared for by Carole and her friends"
