Welcome to Villa Olympia in Athens
The Villa Olympia is centrally situated in the quiet neighbourhood of Philopappou just south of the Acropolis. It is on a wide street that looks up to the monument on the Hill of the Muses and Nymphs of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'.
Accommodation is offered at affordable prices. The rooms are traditional, but simple, in this renovated neoclassical house which was built at the beginning of the twentieth century and has an English proprietor. There is use of kitchen and washing machine and of the small roof terrace. The informal atmosphere in Villa Olympia attracts writers, artists, academics, pensioners and anyone for a longer stay.
