Monastery of the Holy Cross

This marvelous stay felt like a quiet sanctuary in the middle of Athens. We were met by lush surroundings, green gardens, and unparalleled luxury in a boutique hotel. The sweeping views of the river and the most magnificent penthouse stay includes dreamy comforts, warm service, great style and a harmonious elegance. The room was spotless and spectacular with high end touches like a wall bar, coffee station, multiple indoor and outdoor seating, luxurious linens and bath products. They even surprised us with a welcome gift. The staff is trained to provide high end customer service by ensuring you have all you need for your welcome, stay and departure. They are passionate in spirit and truly showcase their commitment to an excellent experience. The stay is located in the most exclusive neighborhood so very safe and accessible yet far from the crowds. We chased the best sunsets and linger for sunrises, perched on the top with views of the river banks and the city. The pool is its own kind of quite magic that makes you feel like you stepped into a private greenhouse with blue waters surrounded by trees, flowering plants, outdoor shower and a lounge area. We truly enjoyed the exquisite dining experience for drinks and breakfast in their bistro that felt like we were in a garden party with the most perfect evenings and mornings. It was divine ! Everything we experienced was a collection of unforgettable moments ! And we simply can’t wait to return.

The hotel was good, we had a great service but the neighborhood was scary.
