Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Pedestrian Petraki Street keeps the front door quiet, and the tavernas of Plaka are a short stroll away.
The rooms
Every room has wooden parquet floors and a decorative marble mantelpiece, with canopy beds in higher categories.
The Villa Bistro-bar
Green velvet banquettes and marble cafe tables line the ground floor, set beneath an arched brass back-bar.
At the table
Marble bistro tables on the rooftop terrace look out toward the Acropolis over evening drinks.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
