About this property

Acropolis Sky Villa: Make some family memories - 7bd/6ba views W/D Walk to sites

When traveling with a larger group, it can be tough to find the right place to stay. If your family or group is looking for a spacious, centrally located apartment – but one with that all-important 5-star feel – look no further than our Acropolis View Sky Villa.

This is one private 7 bedroom in downtown Athens: space, style, & convenience (not to mention the best views of the nearby Acropolis). There are beds for up to 20, 6 bathrooms, and sun-soaked spaces to dine inside and out.
Ask about our concierge service, indoor parking, daily maid service, or private catering for a real no-stress vacation! Want a gourmet Greek breakfast delivered? We can do that too.

Create memories to last a lifetime at our heavenly Acropolis View Sky Villa.
We'll setup a chat group for your stay - this is the best way to communicate with our team.
When Basil and I are in Athens we do have our own studio in the building - it's on the terrace level - the 2nd level of the property, so you may see us around (and we're always happy to chat & answer any questions in person if you'd like to meet us!)
LOCAL LIVING

Our Acropolis View Sky Villa offers luxury living in one of the best neighborhoods in Athens, giving you the chance to really live like a local.

Join your neighbors for a coffee outside in one of the 4 city squares, then follow your nose to the two nearby farmers’ markets. You’ll also find cafes, pastry shops, and authentic Greek restaurants right outside your door.

Then, when culture calls, it’s a short walk or tram ride to the city’s best museums and archeological attractions.
Our guests have exclusive use of the terrace and outdoor dining and living areas. (We may or may not be on the property, we do maintain our office/studio on site, so you might see us there if we're in town.)
ROOM TO SPARE

The Sky Villa offers plenty of room for multigenerational families to stretch out during that once-in-a-lifetime vacation together.

Up to 6 couples traveling together love that they can each have their own private bedroom and bathroom, while enjoying the spacious indoor and outdoor living areas to gather together pre and post sightseeing.

Retreat and study groups enjoy the spacious Sky Villa as a place to sleep and study - with 7 bedrooms and 6 baths - the Sky Villa is like having their own private boutique hotel with the extra comforts of home.

NOTE: Bedrooms 6 & 7 are part of an adjoining suite - they have a sliding door between them. Each room has it's own full bathroom with a walk in shower.

** A second living room set off from the main area offers a double sleeper sofa which can accommodate 2 more guests without impacting the groups flow throughout the property **
** For family groups we offer the capacity to sleep up to 21 guests **

DINE AL FRESCO

While the open concept living space accommodates 16 to dine indoors, it’s the outside options that really wow our guests. The inviting wraparound balcony beckons guests to kick back with a morning coffee as the city awakes below on the treelined boulevard.

For that special occasion, why not celebrate on the roof terrace? Exclusively available to Sky Villa guests. Meaning those sun loungers, BBQ grill, seating for 20, and views of Mount Lykavittos and the whitewashed rooftops of Athens are all yours.

AMERICAN-STYLE COMFORTS

We’ve made sure every detail is covered to create a perfect mix of home comfort and vacation pampering. Think high thread-count linens, organic Greek bath products, fluffy robes, wifi, and unlimited international phone calls - and you’re halfway there.

We’ve also imported Sealy Posturepedic mattresses, ensuring a great night’s sleep for everyone. And US-style charging stations for you can't-be-without devices. Plus, the full-sized appliances (dishwasher, washing machine, and separate dryer) make sure entertaining still feels like vacation.
While the train is nearby, why not let take away the stress of finding your home base in Athens by sending a car and driver for your group?

Fantastic experience
The property was very accurately described, we were a party of 19 and we all fit in the 2 apartments nicely. The apartments were very well stocked, we lacked nothing. The location was great, walking distance to shopping, restaurants and some historical sites too. Communication was the hosts was superb, the best experience ever! Shout out to Danai, Carole and Basil as their knowledge of Athens was so helpful in planning activities, and they arranged everything for us as well. I highly recommend!

Athens for 19
Very well-kept apartment (s) in the heart of the city and within walking distance to many sites. With 19 family members we made use of both apartments, connected by a short hallway. Lovely “welcome basket”, spacious balconies with great city views. Plenty of bathrooms. Having transports, activities and restaurants booked for us was wonderful - doing that in a new place and for 19 people would have been beyond challenging. The guides and drivers were excellent, warm and friendly. One highlight in particular was our Greek meal cooking lesson for all 19 of us, with two chefs coming to the apartment. Everyone very much enjoyed themselves. Very friendly and helpful apartment owners/travel planners. Highly recommended.

Ideal stay in Athens
We were a family of 16 ranging in age from 10 to 77. The layout of 7 BR’s allowed everyone to spread out while enjoying a central area. The Location was great and all the major sites were accessible by foot. Danai was incredibly helpful and cooked us a Greek meal which was great fun. If you’re a large group and want to be in the middle of Athens highlights, this property is an excellent choice.

great stay!
Loved this place - it's perfect for a multi-generation family. Carole and Basil were amazing to work with - we had a large group and the accommodations were ideal - as were the pace of our mostly food focused activities (though our Acropolis guide was terrific. Thanks Carole and Basil - we hope some of us will be back to explore more places in Greece - and we'll be working with Real Greece Travel again.

Amazing place for large groups
This was our second time to bring a large group of us to stay in this home. They have made some changes that made it even better than before--codes to get into the building and apartment (wonderful to not have to keep up with keys!), some new beds, and other renovations. Carole was incredible to work with and we sure hope to be back again next year! Highly recommend this place and any place that Carole and Basil host. :)

Amazing Place to Stay and Even Better People
The apartment was perfect for our group of 11. We spent 8 days in Athens and never got tired of such a nice place. The people we worked closely with were Carole, Basil and Nadia. What exceptional and caring people! If you have ANY question or concern, they are right on top of it. In additional to an extremely well maintained and stocked apartment, they provide excellent vacation planning. Their recommendations for tours, day trips, restaurants and activities were perfect. Never a problem! The people they work with match their compassion. Highly recommended to anyone wanting to visit Athens. The trip planning by Carole was such a hidden gem in this great vactation! Looking forward to another visit to Athens and the Acropolis Sky Villa!

Experience Athens like a local
We were are family of six spending Christmas in Athens. The location is amazing, you are right in the middle of a neighborhood with grocery, restaurants and shops steps away. And it was possible to walk/take a tram to all of the sights. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen had everything needed to eat in, the washer and dryer came in handy. We used Carol's driver to and from the airport which I highly recommend.

Great location and views
We had a great time in Athens and loved the Sky Villa. It was in a good location convenient to the most popular sections for shopping and eating and felt like we were with the locals experiencing Athens the way they do every day. The Villa was extremely clean and well kept, and had everything we needed in the way of conveniences, connectivity, appliances, etc. The best part was Carol's tips and suggestions for what to do and where to eat, how to get around and great tours. Her partners for the transportation and tours were outstanding and well worth the fees. I highly recommend the Sky Villa to anyone traveling to Greece.

Amazing Oasis!
We stayed at this delightful apartment for five days during the middle of a heat wave in Athens. The apartment was clean and well stocked! We loved the showers and the thick towels. Sitting out at night having a BBQ of lamb sausages from the butcher across the street was a lovely way to reflect on our day of sightseeing. Our three teenagers appreciated their own bathrooms and the wifi. I highly recommend a stay here if you are headed to Athens! Thanks Carole!

Wonderful week in Athens
Our family is scattered all across the US. We were looking forward to spending time together and catching up. My brother booked a Festiva sailing vacation (awesome!)in the Cyclades and we topped it off with a week in Athens. The Athens First apartment was perfect for our needs. It offered a fill-sized refrigerator, well -appointed kitchen, two bathrooms (one with a tub!) and a lovely outdoor area where we gathered both before and after long sightseeing days. We highly recommend the foodie tour! The apartment was nicely decorated, spotlessly clean and had a much needed washer and dryer. We were welcomed with a food basket and wine, saving us from having to go to the grocery the day of check in. All in all, it was perfect for our needs. Carole, Basil, Nadia (conducted the Foodie Tour) and Nick (wealth of knowledge) were all so informative and helpful. Highly recommend a stay here!

Beautiful Duplex in a wonderful location!
This property was gorgeous, very comfortable. The A/C worked very well, which was important since Athens was 109F during our stay. The duplex is very clean. The owners have worked hard to make it comfortable. They arranged all airport transfers for us, as well as wonderful tours of the city. My favorite was the food tour with Nadia who took us through the local markets- highly recommend! The beds and bathrooms are all very clean and comfortable. Hot showers felt wonderful after a day touring the city. In the evenings, we loved walking to many local restaurants recommended by Carole (the owner) and Nadia. The location is perfect with a rooftop view of the Acropolis. There is also a washer/dryer which was nice. All of the drivers and guides were knowledgeable and very kind. I highly recommend staying in this duplex, we didn't know what to expect but it was fabulous- plenty of room, clean, comfortable, and gorgeous! We would stay again if we are lucky enough to come to Greece again!

Great place.
The place has all the comforts of home. Carole has thought of everything. It is not too far from the city center, it is less of a "touristy" area and the restaurants are very good and inexpensive. The bakery was wonderful and every morning we had a delicious breakfast. Carole set up some fabulous tours for us and she takes care of everything. I would highly recommend using her expertise. Loved the food tour of Athens, and the tour to Poseidon's Temple. Carole also found us a guide for the Acropolis, she was outstanding! I will continue to use her homes, I want to go to Chicago just to use her vacation rental!!

About the host

Hosted by Carole Heiman-Kezios

Host profile image
Basil and I are full time travel professionals, we offer our Athens properties here but we also run a custom travel planning agency, RealGreece Travel, so we know what quite a bit about hospitality (as mixed culture couple (Basil, born and bred in Athens, Carole, born & bred in Chicago) we understand that quirks in Greece and know how to help our guests get the most out of their Greece experience.
For those who choose our Greek Vacation Rentals, you are staying in an intentional holiday home. You won't find anyone's clothes in the drawers but you will find lots of things provided with travelers in mind (some of which are secrets we choose not to share here since that's what makes us special :-)

What makes this property unique

We know from our years in the vacation rental business in Greece, finding one property that sleeps a large group is a challenge - most of what you will find advertised as "6 bedroom" or more bedrooms, is often a building with several 2 bedroom apartments. This is fine if you're all not planning on hanging out together inside the vacation rental property. But if you want space to gather together, in ONE APARTMENT, the Acropolis Sky villa is your place.

We are always there for you!! Communication prior to arrival and trhough check-out will be via a private WhApp chat group that we setup for your group. For larger non-family groups, we request everyone be added to it - this avoids issues with arrival, check-in and offers you immediate responses from our team during your stay. This ensures a great stay!
