What an incredible stay! I would come back to Platka with my family just so they could experience staying in the heart of town at truly the most beautiful home.
The host, Akrivi, went above and beyond to help us before we even arrived. She arranged a beautiful transportation from the airport to the house and then to our next destination, she was flexible when our flight was delayed, and was standing outside ready to greet us upon arrival.
I was traveling for work with two other people and needed accommodations that would have 3 separate rooms and each have their own bathroom. This was the best decision we could have made staying here!
I knew the home was going to be beautiful from the photos, I was blown away when I saw it in person. When we drove into town, I loved all the little shops and restaurants. I couldn't believe the house was located right in the middle of it all! You walked out and everything you could want was right there - including a perfect view of the Acropolis from the terrace. The house was quiet inside and relaxing in all the seating areas including the deck outside and on top. Then you open the door and have every shop, musician, restaurant you could imagine around you.
From the moment we pulled up and opened the door, the artwork, the furniture, even the house smell (which I wish I could have bottled up and taken home their candles) was impeccably decorated. It was warm and inviting and maintained to perfection. I will also mention the shampoo and soaps were lovely, the beds and bedding were so comfortable. It is an understatement to explain how close it is to the Acropolis. I went to the top of the Acropolis and could see the house from there.
I will absolutely be coming back so my family can experience this gem of a stay in Athens. We loved the town around us and coming back "home" to the Acropolis Garden House made it even more special. Thank you for a lovely and memorable stay.
