Acropolis Villa by JJ Hospitality
Ever wanted to sleep in the shadow of the mighty Acropolis? This is your chance! We offer you a splendid, 200 year old family home built at the very foot of the rock itself. In fact part of the old city walls pass directly through the house itself! Located deep inside Plaka, this is truly a one of a kind property for those wishing to spend their time in the most charming of Athenian neighborhoods.
The house is built on 2 levels, with large homely kitchen and 3 bedrooms on the ground floor, whilst upstairs is the large and comfortable living room, a TV room/study and the master bedroom. A doorway from the lounge leads to an outside metal staircase that takes you to the roof terrace which has unparalleled views of Athens, including Lycabettus and the Olympic stadium at Kallimarmaro. Of course there are several views of the Acropolis walls, which is just behind the house. There is also a lovely back garden with shrubs and trees and lots of seating. This is a very rare find for central Athens.
This charming house has been furnished with great care and detail, with old furniture, including handsome family heirlooms, antique books, tapestries and beautiful artwork on the walls. Please note there are several ancient artifacts placed in and around the house, including fragments of ancient columns and statues. These were found on the site and have been preserved. In the back garden there is also a small shrine to St. Paraskevi, which is visited by pilgrims once a year on her feast day.
The host gave us a wonderful tour of the home, which looks directly up at the Greek flag on the Acropolis from the rooftop terrace. Great location. Comfortable home filled with lovely things.
Historical site, beautiful house, perfect location and a wonderful host! We were met on arrival for the keys and tour of the home and its history. Fascinating!!! The host even came with fresh fruit, yogurt, wine and water. Will absolutely be back! Thank you for your beautiful home and wish we were there longer.

Great location, right at the footstep of Acropolis, few steps to Plaka for coffeeand restaurants. The house is amazing, like living in a piece of history, in an antique that is very well maintained with all amenities working perfect. Kitchen annd bathrooms fully equipped and clean. AC and fans keep the house cool. Every item in this house is picture worthy. The patio with beautiful plants and shade are amazing to spend time as well as the Terrace that looks at acropolis. I wish I had stayed longer and I will be definitely back to stay here again. The host Ioustinos was extremely helpful with every step of our Adventure too.
My second stay here. Beautiful, well maintained home, with as centralized location in the Plaka as possible. The home is absolutely authentic, from the floors to the furniture. And the outdoor terrace - never had a better one. The restaurants and shops are right outside the door - yet the house is quiet. One word, there are small staircases and step ups and downs between some rooms and bathrooms - as well as stairs and steps to the front door. So those with significant mobility issue might need to reconsider. But an awesome spot.
This 300 year old family home is lovingly restored. The treasures of Athenian history adorn its walls and floors. Its gardens, trees and courtyards make you believe you are in a village far from a bustling metropolis. We were rejuvenated by the rest we found there, excellent air conditioning, showers, and a wonderful kitchen where the five of us cooked a feast together. Ioustinos, the family contact, welcomed us and gave us helpful advice. His tour and gift of wine were unexpected and much appreciated. There was a parking place for our car. It was a perfect oasis for us after hiking on Parnassos and ending our 2 week holiday.
Ioustinos was a fantastic host. He had tons of great advice on our stay from tours to food and getting around. The Villa is a history lesson in itself with its colorful past. It is in a perfect location for walking to the Acropolis, museums and many of the monuments in Athens. The Plaka neighborhood is vibrant and everyone was super friendly. We wished we had stayed longer. We would definitely like to come back.
Words cannot describe this house or location. We couldnât believe when we entered the courtyardâŠ. So private and beautifu. Loustino was great with communication and the check in process was easy! He also arranged for us to have a private chef, Karolos, one evening and it was the highlight of our trip. The food was delicious!
The location cannot be beat. Literally steps away from the acropolis and in the heart of Plaka. Great restaurants right outside the house.
Canât wait to return and when we do we will only stay at this incredible location!
We were super impressed with this property. Incredible location with shopping and restaurants near by. The property had good air conditioning in the bed rooms (living rooms could get hot upstairs). Property managers were easy to work with and the pictures do not do it justice, very quaint.
