Athenian Villa Beneath the Acropolis

Amazing location, stunning roof terrace and plenty of room.

8.0

The location is fantastic, right beneath the Acropolis and close to some fantastic restaurtants. All the major attractions are easily within walking distance. As a base to explore Athens it was ideal.

− The house is in need of a little maintenance and updating in places. The need to turn on the hot water at the fuse box half an hour before you want a shower wasn't ideal! However although it was basic and functional, it was clean and tidy and perfect for what we needed.

Great location and facilities but could be so much better with a little more care.

5.0

The house is in a fantastic location close to all Athens archeological sites shopping and restaurants. Has a lift and can accommodate multiple guests comfortably with a fantastic rooftop space.

− It’s a pity the house managers do not listen to previous reviews. They are not doing justice to what could be a great house. This house could be a premier accommodation option in Athens but we found the rooftop still had old damaged furniture and dead plants, doonas were dirty, the kitchen lacked basic condiments. The property managers need to improve their performance.

The location was great and the view from the rooftop was breathtaking!

− The rooftop furniture was in need of repair or replacement.

Wonderful location tight under the Acropolis but charming property needs maintenance.

7.0

The location is excellent and the roomy villa is charming .

− Maintenance of property was poor- kitchen lacked basic cleaning equipment, broken and loose power points, dirty, neglected courtyard and roof terrace with all of the pot plants dead.

Extremely disappointing – not suitable for guests

The location and view from dirty rooftop - the chairs were not suitable to sit on them

− Our stay at this property was truly terrible, and I strongly advise others to avoid it. We booked six nights through Booking.com and left after just two due to the following issues: • Broken promises: We requested extra pillows in advance and were told they’d be provided for free. Upon arrival, we were asked to pay because they failed to prepare them. • Dirty and neglected: The apartment was not clean, the rooftop, garden, and entrance were dirty and poorly maintained. The toilets were smelly. Duvets were given without covers and smelled bad. • Personal storage inside the apartment: There were boxes, suitcases, and other stored items inside, which appeared to belong to the owners, totally unprofessional and made the place feel cluttered and unwelcoming. • Elevator not working: We had to carry all our luggage and kids up several floors. Management assumed I was stuck in the elevator and took no action for over two hours. • Air conditioning not working: Only the ground floor was cool. The upper floors were unbearably hot, and we all had to sleep in one room. • No hot water: Despite following all instructions, the water heater never worked. We requested a full refund for the four nights we didn’t stay. They only offered two nights and have not responded since. This place is not guest-ready and should not be listed on Booking.com in this condition.

Stunning location in the heart of Athens Plaka district, surrounded by restaurants, bars, quaint alleyways and shopping.

8.0

You cannot beat the location. And any negatives about the property are overridden by the stunning location. It is literally beneath the acropolis with magnificent views of Athens from the rooftop in the apartment. It is comfortable and charming and has everything you need. The hosts were responsive and helpful. There is a lift in the apartment which is helpful for those less mobile.

− It says 3 double bedrooms but one only has a 3/4 bed and definitely couldn’t comfortably sleep two people. The furniture on the rooftop is tired and the plants are all dead. It could do with a little bit of love. This didn’t detract from our stay though and we loved to sit on the rooftop in the evening and watch Athens below
