Romantic Luxury in a Historical Home in the Heart of Ancient Athena.
The Athens Heritage House was designed to offer guests a true home away from home, familiar and comfortable with the same amenities they have at home.
Located on the first floor of a Neo-classical three story building that has undergone a complete gut renovation and partial rebuild. It is absolutely beautiful.
There are a total of three bedrooms and two full baths and one half bath. This historical home has 2 bedrooms off the living room, both with custom made iron beds - one bedroom has a Queen and the other two twins. The bedrooms look out onto the side street lined with orange trees. A third bedroom with en suite full bath is located in the garden studio off of the courtyard.
The street connects into the pedestrian zone that meanders its way into Plaka, Monasteraki, 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. Whether you are a jogger, hiker or just love to walk, this is the place to be for exploring the sites and sounds of the Plaka, Monasteraki and Thisseo.
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 surrounded on all sides by the building. It is full of plants and is a lovely place to enjoy a cup of coffee as you plan your day's activities.
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 (yes, a clothes dryer - why spend your holiday waiting for your clothes 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 high speed internet, and guests of the Heritage House receive a local number mobile phone to use during their stay. |
