Athens Lycabettus Hill Penthouse, private roof garden & pool

(We prepared a video that you can find in the video section, with the apartment and the surrounding area of Lycabettus hill, so that you have a good understanding of our property).
The place is unique for center of Athens. It has a large swimming pool (30m2) at the private roof garden, connected with the apartment through internal stairs. However, it is in the center of Athens not in the suburbs. The apartment is big 160m2 and occupies the whole third floor on a three floor building. However, it feels double size, since guests spend a lot of time at the 130m2 roof garden. The apartment is flooded with light, looking at the hill trees and it has a beautiful fireplace.
The building is very nice and peaceful with five only apartments and it is some meters away from the adjacent building, making it even more peaceful and completely safe.
It is in the center of city and nightlife (7 min away by taxi from the Parliament and Acropolis), but not in the touristic and noisy center. It is in the peaceful area of Lycabettus hill, right at the peripheral road, the highest living point. From the veranda the view is the hill trees, not the neighbor. From the roof garden terrace there is a panoramic view of Athens and hill trees. There is complete privacy, at both the veranda and terrace. You can swim, relax, sunbath or enjoy romance, in a healthy peaceful environment, although in the city center. The large roof garden sees north, south, east and west. It has sun bathing areas and also covered areas, whatever you might prefer during the day. You can cook or order food and have dinner at home by the roof garden pool or at the veranda. You can swim whenever you want, day and night, with no hotel limitations.
The place has a well designed and furnished interior with paintings and decorative objects. It has all the amenities cable TV with sports channels and movies, Wi-Fi, air-conditioning etc.
In short it has it all for a relaxing, exclusive time. It is not hotel or a place to want to rush out. It is a place to stay, enjoy and spend time in the full of light living room or the big veranda facing the hill trees or at the roof garden, swimming and enjoying the view, after a site-seeing or working day. It is a real relaxation vacation home, although in the middle of Athens.
Athens has a wonderful weather almost all year around, so roof garden and swimming pool are enjoyable almost all the rented time.
As a result, the place is perfect for upscale couples, for families or for friends of 6-7 people, who do not want the hotel limitations. People with good aura, who want to relax and enjoy, not people with anxiety, who treat the place like an impersonal hotel.
During your stay at this apartment building, you're just a quick walk from Mount Lycabettus. You'll find features such as an outdoor pool, a rooftop terrace and 1 hot tub. The apartment offers free WiFi and a private pool.
  • Air-conditioned apartment with private pool, kitchen and washing machine
  • Free WiFi
  • Take a swim in the outdoor pool or soak in the hot tub

Family European Trip

Amazing is the best way to describe it. From the initial booking until departure, Dimitri and Fotini were extremely responsive. They provided excellent guidance to things to see, when to go, places to eat. Between that and the wonderful home, it made an amazing ending to a great two week family trip.

We had a wonderful stay! We were arriving from a cruise ship and the host helped arrange transportation to the Penthouse. He and his assistant met us there to go through the property and answer any questions. He reviewed a map of the city and recommended places to visit, and helped us to set up a driver for a trip to the beach in Sounion. Very nice property, and wonderful host!

Entspannter Städtetrip mit Kindern

Wir waren mit 2 Kindern im Appartement und haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen. Die Wohnung ist geräumig mit einer schönen Terrasse und einer sehr großen Dachterrasse mit tollem Pool. Wir fühlten uns sehr sicher, die Wohnung ist ruhig gelegen. Dimitris ist immer erreichbar und möchte, dass man sich wohl fühlt. Das Kinderzimmer hat eine niedrige Decke, die drei Bäder sind sehr klein. Die Wohnung ist hervorragend gelegen. Man kommt für 6 Euro mit dem Taxi nach Plaka. Das Appartement ist voll ausgestattet (Handtücher, Nespesso, ...).

Spectacular place and a wonderful host!

The penthouse apartment is exactly as advertised. It is a great place. It is very spacious - both the inside quarters as well as the outside areas with the beautiful pool and landscaped decks. Dimitris is a charming host and extremely attentive and helpful. We truly appreciated him welcoming to the apartment and to the city. He gave us great suggestions of what to do and help arrange some transportation. We found the location in the Lycabettus Hill area to be perfect. It's a lovely and peaceful area. We could not have been more pleased with our stay and highly recommend it.

Athen rooftop sanctuary

We love the apartment, great place to stay. The rooftop has a great view, sitting area and pool. It was relaxing and enjoyable. Right across from a hill with a church and restaurant at the top where you can take a short hike to have even more beautiful views of the city. Dimitris was great and extremely helpful in making arrangements to and from everywhere we needed to go. He was very communicative before and during our stay. Many thanks Dimitris!

Amazing Penthouse on Lycabettus Hill

What a wonderful stay we had at the Penthouse on Lycabettus Hill. The property is in a perfect location. Local restaurants, markets, shops, and bakeries are just a short walk away; all historical monuments, museums other districts are a quick uber or taxi service. The penthouse is clean, comfortable, spacious, and peaceful. We were lucky that one evening Panathinaikos F.C. (local premier/professional soccer/football team) were playing a friendly match vs. Rayo Vallecano (Spain-La Liga) the city truly came to life and the atmosphere was just amazing! Just an incredible experience to witness and be part of. The host “Dimitris” is probably the best premier host that i have ever met through Vrbo. His communication was 5 star and he helped us with all necessary transfers to and from ATH airport. He was so welcoming when we checked in with fresh fruit, cold water, wine, and coffee. He sat us down and helped us navigate the area, went over the best places to visit and how to get there. He made us feel like we were part of his extended family. The property was perfect for us. We were a party of 6…no one under the age of 17. We were comfortable, never crowded, and the swimming pool was a wonderful bonus to help with the summer Athens heat. The A/C worked perfect and kept the house cool and comfortable during the day. Overall it was a 5 star experience. The views from the private terrace and pool area are worth the stay all within itself. Thank you again Dimitris, we will be back!!!

Beautiful views from Lycabettus Hill

Nice penthouse on the top two floors of an apartment building on the east side of Lycabettus Hill (a big park across the street). It was away from the busy tourist areas but within 1/2 mile from many nice neighborhood restaurants to the west. It had easy access to the downtown sites and we were also within a 1/2 of the City-Sightseeing bus stop 8 (by the National Gallery). The penthouse was beautiful and very well furnished. The layout was nice and huge balconies everywhere! Maybe 5! The host was very welcoming and was very quick to help us with WiFi. Great location to reach popular tourist areas, only 5 euro to most places by taxi/Uber. I would definitely recommend!

Dimitri was very accomodating. He had a very nice welcome to our trip. The pool was amaizing! The only feature that needs a little work is the stairs to the pool. I think there needs to be a hand rail for going up and down the stairs as the third bedroom is upstairs. But overall the apartment is amaizing and we would highly reccomend it!

Best place to stay in Athens

What a wonderful stay we had here for 3 nights. We wished we could have stayed longer ! 4 adults in our party. This place is roomy and the pool and pool area really make it special. Wonderful view of the city and many plants and trees lining the whole rooftop. The apartment itself feels like home with books , pictures and ornaments everywhere. Very clean and very comfortable. Kitchen is fully equipped and we gave the Nespresso machine a good workout :). We set out to explore Athens at 8am and got back around 3pm. So great to relax in and by the pool after a day exploring the city. We didn’t want to leave and spent two evenings there after ordering in food. Really quiet and peaceful neighbourhood directly across from all the trees on Mount Lycabettus. Dimitris and Katerina were excellent hosts. So helpful and stocked the fridge for us on the first day !! (We took Dimitris advice and went to Cafe Avassinia - fantastic service , food and an unbelievable view of the Acropolis from the rooftop terrace. ) I highly recommend this penthouse for a stay in Athens. It is truly a one of a kind place!

Gorgeous Apartment Gracious Hosts

Our hosts Dimitris and Katerina were very responsive and helped us in any way they could both prior to checkin and during our stay. We checked in on a late on a Saturday and supermarkets are closed in Athens on Sunday, so they stocked the fridge full of milk, cheese, bread, etc. so that we would have breakfast the following morning. This thoughtfulness was very much appreciated. The apartment itself was a dream. The beds were comfortable, it has A/C so we could sleep well at night in our rooms, plenty off cooking supplies, laundry facilities etc. The two outdoor sitting areas and the pool at this apartment are it's BEST feature and of course we were close to all the attractions. The views were amazing and the cool night time breezes were lovely. Thank you for everything Dimitris and Katernina.

The Perfect Stay

My wife and our two teenage daughters travelled to Athens from the US. Immediately after the booking, Dimitris was very communicative and eager to make our stay perfect. He and Katerina met us at the door to check us in and gave us a full tour. The penthouse looks exactly like the pictures. The lighting and amenities are all great in this luxurious apartment. The kitchen had everything we needed. Water pressure was wonderful with plenty of hot water. Location was great. Quiet and upscale area within walking distance of Lycabettus hill and the best views in Athens. I’ll be recommending this spot to friends coming to Athens!
