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.

Our family of 10 stayed and it met our needs. Clean, amazing location, housekeepers came by on weekdays and the property manager was able to quickly fix an AC issue fairly quickly. Highly recommend the property.
The White House was exactly as advertised. Beautiful home, well maintained and in a great location for walking to many attractions and restaurants. Highly recommend this property!
Our family of 9 stayed here during our vacation to Greece and WOW! This house is unique and beautifully decorated and the location is unbeatable! We had an incredible time and really enjoyed our stay.
A stunning croft-house in a magnificent location - the views were fabulous! Inside was tastefully decorated with absolutely everything you could possibly need. The house has obviously been renovated with a lot of love and attention to detail and quality.
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!
could not ask for a better location. property is also very spacious, and has unmistakable historic charm. Steps to key sites. We walked the entire stay, did not need a car. Given historical value of the property, it come with certain points to adjust to - water pressure, water heater capacity, no central AC - though each room units were adequate. Overall - amazing - but be a little open minded - it is not a modern construction.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful and spacious home in the heart of Plaka, walking distance to everything! From the time of booking and through our stay the management was very responsive to all our messages and needs. Our group of 11 truly enjoyed this property. Thank you!
We shared that house with our friends. 9 total guests. The house is in a great location with numerous restaurants and historical sites. The hospitality group who runs the home was very accommodating. The home was clean and beautiful for our stay.
