About this property

“The White House Plaka” Historical Mansion by JJ Hospitality

A newly renovated Uniquely declared “PIECE of ART” grand historical townhouse by JJ Hospitality in the heart of Plaka, a few steps away from the new Acropolis Museum and grand promenade.

The space

You will share the very rare opportunity to stay in one of the 10 houses in Athens which have been uniquely characterized by the Greek authorities through Ministerial decision as a “Piece of Art” for it Architectural and morphological elements.

This is not just another property in Plaka, but a truly “one in a million” officially declared Historical Mansion owned and renovated by a famous Athenian architect, the first thing you will notice is the generous proportions and high ceilings in all the rooms of the house. The front part of the house contains the entrance lobby, sitting room with great dinning table and the TV room, as well as a guest bathroom under the stairs. If you walk down the stairs you will find a kitchen diner in the end of the space, a twin bedroom and a sitting room which can become a single bedroom, a bathroom and the cellar for you to bring loads of wine. From here at the end of the corridor you can exit to the terrace and enter a large annex of the house which contains a small living room with a double bedroom on the attic as well as a shower. If you walk up the stairs you will see the 3 stunning double bedrooms and the 2 marble bathrooms. The decoration was overseen by the owner herself and is really stylish.

Great stay at The White House!
We were a group of 11 people - 2 families with kids aged 15-21. This was our first trip to Greece and we weren’t sure where to stay in Athens. After reading reviews, we booked this property and were so pleased we did! The location is excellent- right in the middle of Plaka, close to shopping, dining and the Acropolis. The property manager was very responsive and our check-in was easy and smooth. The house was spacious and had 2 separate kitchens, which worked well for our group. Nicely decorated and comfortable. The patio area and rooftop patio were amazing and a great place to relax. The house has 3 floors and, since we were there in July when it is very hot, the top floor would get a bit warm. The property does have fans available though, at request. Our only other issue was the hot water. Since the property is in the historical district of Athens, they are limited to using electric boilers to heat the water. This can take up to 30 minutes, which requires planning ahead. All in all, we rated this property a 5 out of 5 and will definitely stay here again when we return to Athens.

Wonderful stay in the Plaka!
We were a traveling party of 7, everyone was very comfortable and the location couldn't have been better in relation to the Plaka and all of the historical sites. Extremely convenient being within walking distance of everything. Highly recommend!

Great central location to all the main local sites.
We were able to walk to all the local attractions. Several places to eat and shop in the neighborhood. Hop on and off bus stop around the corner. The owner was helpful to suggest travel arrangements from airport and ocean port.

Grand space + great location
The pictures do not do justice to this home; the top two floors of this home are fantastically grand. The view from the rooftop terrace is breath-taking. We stayed at this home in early August when outside temperatures were quite high and the several air conditioners kept the space pleasantly cool. The property manager was very responsive and accessible. And the location was excellent; short walk to several top attractions and great dining. Would absolutely stay here again.

Wonderful location and beautiful home!
It was most of our first time to Athens, and the location of this home could not be better! Everyone said "Go to Plaka" or "It's close to Plaka", and the fact that we were in Plaka made it so easy! Not to mention, the home is incredible! The only funky thing is the main kitchen is downstairs, but there's a smaller kitchen on the main floor, so we just used that! If I go back, I would absolutely stay at the same place again.

Family trip to Santorini
My family travelled to Athens on our way to Santorini to celebrate my brother and sister in laws 26th wedding anniversary. We were a group of 9 and wanted to stay somewhere that would accommodate all of us. The White House was perfect and the location was ideal as it was only steps to the Plaka shops and restaurants. One of our favorite things about the house was the lovely roof top view of the Acropolis at night. The only thing we wished were better about the house was the air conditioning on the upper level, being that it was July the upstairs was quite hot. Aside from this everything else was perfect and I would not hesitate to recommend this property.

The owners listed the property as air conditioned but for the two days we were in Athens it was swe
I have been renting with Vrbo for years and have always given rave reviews. I am not someone that will nitpick a property but this one is unacceptable. The third floor master bedrooms (2) and one other bedroom we uninhabitable due to the air conditioning problem. They first told me nothing was wrong with it, it just gets warmer in the afternoon due to the heat of sunset. We had our shutter closed and windows during sunset and all day but it didn’t help. We couldn’t sleep and had to move to the couches on the main level. RENTERS BEWARE IF YOUR IN ATHENS IN THE SUMMER THINK TWICE BEFORE RENTING HERE. The second time someone came he admitted there may be something wrong and they would send a technician ( didn’t come). The person who I was told to contact was away and he told me that air temperature is realative. I’m so disappointed. This was my husbands 70 birthday celebration and the culmination of our special family trip to my ansestry home country.

Grand accommodations on a quiet street close to the heart of Athens.
The White House is as elegant in real life as the pictures. Plenty of rooms with high ceilings, two kitchens, multiple rooms in which to congregate, strong wifi, an outdoor terrace, a separate apartment, and a rooftop terrace with a view of the Acropolis all make this home remarkable. The "Ottoman plumbing" that precludes flushing toilet paper is the only minor concern.

Three Thumbs up!!!
Coming back to Athens as part of the last leg of our trip during the period of 15/08-21/08/16 we were really in for a surprise, the White House in Plaka was magnificent, one of our best stays ever. The host and all the staff we met were very helpful and friendly. The rooms were very spacious, furnished and decorated with great care and some interesting pieces. The location is ideal for exploring Athens as it is close to so many of the attractions as well as great places to eat. Back very very very soon......

Amazing
We had a fantastic stay at the magnificent White House during the period of 1/09-8/09/16 !!! The view of the Acropolis from the terrace was breathtaking. The location is perfect for seeing the historic sites of Athens- we walked everywhere! Our hosts could not have been more helpful- booking taxis, printing boarding passes, recommending restaurants, providing things we had forgotten, sorting out every little problem- so helpful and friendly. Our room fantastic! The House itself is quirky and full of character. I would definitely recommend it as the perfect place to stay in central Athens- we hope to be back.

Luxury in Athens
The White House was evreything the description stated and more. The Villa/Apartment was just as stunning if not more in real life. The location is in the Plaka district which was perfect for our group. Taxi's regularly pass the street and its near the Acropolis Metro. The apartment was very spacious and all amenties provided were brilliant. The apartment has a luxurious interior, marble floors and modern decor. It was extremely clean and well-maintained. John provided us with all the information we needed prior and during our stay. I would recommend this apartment to all interested.

Unforgettable family reunion
Had a great stay in the White House with my family when we came to Athens from Thessaloniki. The very high ceilings, the impeccable furniture and the amazing outdoor terrace with view to the Acropolis made our stay unforgettable. We had a great family gathering and enjoyed the sights which were a walking distance from the house. Would gladly recommend and believe it's ideal for big groups and family reunions. Great bars and restaurants in the proximity and fantastic art scene and galleries
