Silk House – A 1930s Neoclassical Residence in Metaxourgeio, Athens
Silk House is the third residence in The Halo Collection, a lovingly restored 1930s neoclassical home in Metaxourgeio, Athens. I'm incredibly happy to share it, as it preserves its original architectural style while offering a cinematic, heritage home.
Spanning 230 square metres across two levels, this luxury Athens residence comfortably accommodates families, couples, and small groups in three elegantly appointed bedrooms. The main level features high ceilings with original details, a chandelier-lit living room, a spacious master bedroom, and a fully equipped kitchen and dining area. There is also a separate, comprehensive laundry room.
One of my favourite features? The main bathroom is hidden behind a secret door. I’ve left guests a playful riddle: "Not every door is plain to see. Look behind the shelf for a little privacy."
On the lower ground level, you’ll find two signature bedrooms, each with its own unique design; a modern botanical-style bathroom with a rain shower; and a second compact kitchen.
Step outside to discover an enclosed courtyard featuring a connecting iron spiral staircase, a private heated plunge pool, seating, and an outdoor kitchen. A true rarity for a premium stay in Athens, this space provides an intimate space to relax in the city.
Silk House is a refined heritage property that honours its past while combining contemporary living. The interior design blends neoclassical elegance with modernist simplicity. I’ve built on this by decorating walls and shelves with pop-art portraits, vintage travel posters, and old photographs.
Located in Metaxourgeio, Silk House is just minutes from Monastiraki, the Acropolis, art spaces, galleries, and neighbourhood tavernas. A wonderful base for exploring Athens.
Silk House is now available for booking. I would love for you to experience it.

It has all the amenities anyone would need for either a short or long stay. It is in a very interesting area of Athens with welcoming restaurants within walking distance. "

" We stayed at this recently renovated gem in Athens and loved it! The art deco entrance and common area was magical and the marble stairs made us feel like royalty when we entered. The flat was spacious and bright tastefully designed by a professional interest designer. "
" We had a truly five-star experience staying in Kypseli. The area is vibrant, authentic, and full of character, with fantastic cafés, bakeries, and local shops just steps away. Everything felt convenient and walkable, and getting to all the major tourist attractions was easy thanks to great public transport links nearby. "
" Incredible cozy apartment. Very clean and quiet, great amenities. A quick walk into the heart of the city. Great food and coffee all around. Beautifully furnished with a great balcony. Perfect place to stay with a family or a group of friends. Open concept is ideal for hosting. 10/10. "
