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
"We stayed in the new apartment, Acropolis View L, from May 26 to 30, 2013. The apartment is very spacious, clean, modern, and comfortable. The view is magnificent: the Acropolis and Aegean Sea are right in front of you if you walk out to the enormous veranda that wraps around the apartment. Carole is an invaluable hostess. Meeting her was worth the trip. Our plans had changed due to a family emergency and we arrived to Athens without any idea where we are going to go and what to see. On our arrival Carole spent almost 2 hours with us planning every detail of our stay. She immediately arranged for a driver and a guide, worked out a detailed walk around Athens and had tons of recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants. People she works with - driver Nick, housekeeper Nadia, guide Mariza - are highly professional and knowledgeable. We are especially grateful to Nick who took us on a day trip to Delphi and another one to Argolith and also from and to the airport. Nick is very tactful, sincere, modest, and fun to be around. Athens will forever stay in our memory as a hospitable and friendly city because of Carole and the people we met thanks to her. THANK YOU, CAROLE!"
