Gargaretta Guesthouse

An Art-Filled Apartment Walking Distance to the Acropolis

An open-plan layout gives this one-bedroom, art-filled apartment a modern, loft-like ambiance, while its notable collection of antiques, paintings and sculptures, and its thoughtfully curated fixtures and accents, add a distinctive Athenian charm.

The street-level residence opens to marble floors, plus marble in the bathroom and kitchen. The lower level presents a fully equipped galley-style kitchen, dining for four with stool seating, and a mirrored bedroom for two flanked by a glass-enclosed marble shower. Upstairs, the living room offers plush seating, fantastic lighting, a collection of art, and a small balcony complemented by a dramatic statue.

Guests enjoy the Herodion Hotel’s full services and access to the hotel’s Acropolis-view jacuzzi space.

Around

Set in the same neoclassical neighborhood as its parent hotels, this apartment offers walking access to Athens' most famous landmark, the Acropolis, and its location is ideal for experiencing the city’s vibrant cultural tapestry and history. The elegant blocks around the apartment are primarily residential, joined by museums, galleries, cafes and restaurants. The famed pedestrian street of Dionissiou Aeropagitou under the cliff of the Acropolis, is a beautiful avenue of neoclassical architecture, home to embassies, cultural institutions, and museums.

Just a few minutes away, the neighborhood of Plaka is lined with turn-of-the-century houses and pedestrian-only streets offering respite from the hustle and bustle of the city center. Great small bars and cafes, locally owned restaurants and green parks, plazas, and walking/jogging paths line Plaka, punctuated by Philopappu Hill with its views over the city’s famed archeological sites and ancient ruins.
