Забронюйте це, якщо You want to feel like a Greek film star from the 1960s living in a neoclassical mansion, and you don't mind climbing stairs.
Чому люди це люблять
- Stunning neoclassical architecture (former home of actress Ellie Lambeti)
- Rooftop terrace with Lycabettus Hill views for breakfast
- Located in Kolonaki, Athens' most upscale and safe neighborhood
Короткий огляд: A gorgeous architectural time capsule that forces you to trade an elevator for character.
Переглянуто @lifestylesydney: I felt like I was living in a private art gallery here. The breakfast in bed was decadent, and sipping wine on the rooftop while looking at Lycabettus Hill was the perfect end to my day. A true hidden gem in Athens for design lovers.

Reality check
The 'Superior Double' has a massive terrace but the room itself is cramped, and one recent guest reported dampness/mold smells in a lower-floor unit.
- You appreciate design heritage and high ceilings
- You want to be near high-end shopping and dining but away from tourist hordes
- You are fit enough to handle stairs daily

ЧаПи та скриті поради
Все, що вам дійсно потрібно знати перед бронюванням.
Is there really no elevator?
Yes, really. It is a protected landmark building, so no elevator installation is allowed. Staff will help with bags.
Is breakfast included?
Usually not in the base rate; it costs approx €25/person and is highly rated (cooked-to-order).
How far is the Acropolis?
About a 25-30 minute walk or a short taxi ride. It's not right next door, which keeps the area quieter.
Is the neighborhood safe?
Yes, Kolonaki is one of the safest, most affluent districts in Athens.
Can I park my car?
Not on-site. There is a paid surface lot ('Delfon 2 Parking') practically next door.
Are there connecting rooms?
Yes, the 'Family Suite' connects two rooms, sleeping up to 4-6 people.

5 речей, які варто знати перед вашим виїздом
💡The 'Superior Double' terrace is larger than the room itself.
💡You might hear the shower or alarm from the room next door due to thin historic walls.
💡Reception closes at midnight; if your flight is late, you MUST arrange entry in advance.
💡The spiral staircase is beautiful but dizzying if you've had too much Ouzo.
💡Some lower-floor rooms have limited natural light and can feel damp in winter.
