About this property

Historic Athens Home with Private Heated Plunge Pool · Metaxourgeio

A rare heritage stay by The Halo Collection - high ceilings, original details, and a private courtyard escape in the heart of Athens.

Step inside The Silk House - a lovingly restored 1930s neoclassical residence in Metaxourgeio, one of Athens' most vibrant and culturally rich neighborhoods. Part of The Halo Collection, this two-level home is a rare find: original architectural character meeting thoughtful modern comfort, steps from the city's historic heart.




The home
Spread across two levels, Silk House sleeps families, couples, and small groups in three distinct bedrooms. The main level features a spacious master bedroom with soaring ceilings, an elegant chandelier-lit living room, and a fully equipped kitchen and dining area. The lower level offers two additional bedrooms, a modern shared bathroom, and a compact secondary kitchen - ideal for longer stays or remote work.




Private heated plunge pool & courtyard
A true rarity in central Athens. The enclosed private courtyard is your calm within the city - a heated plunge pool, outdoor seating, and intimate atmosphere perfect for morning coffee, afternoon sun, or evening gatherings under the Athens sky.




Architecture & design
Built in the 1930s, the home represents a transitional moment in Athenian architecture - neoclassical elegance meeting early modernist simplicity. Original ceiling details, generous proportions, and soft natural light have been carefully preserved. Climate control, updated bathrooms, and contemporary kitchens integrate seamlessly without disturbing the home's soul.

About the host

Hosted by Sharona Hurmuses

Host profile image
Originally from Singapore and now based in Greece with my Greek-Canadian husband, I’m a mother of three daughters with a love for interior design. I enjoy creating homes with character and hosting guests in spaces that feel both comfortable and inspiring.

Why they chose this property

Metaxourgeio is a neighborhood in transition-where historic Athens meets a new wave of creativity. What drew me here is its authenticity, its architecture, and its quiet energy. You’ll find galleries, local cafés, and a sense of real city life, all within easy reach of the center. It’s a place that hasn’t been over-polished, and that’s exactly its charm.

What makes this property unique

Silk House stands out for its rare combination of heritage and thoughtful restoration. This is a 1930s neoclassical residence where original architectural details have been preserved and paired with modern comfort. High ceilings, generous proportions, and curated interiors create a space that feels both elegant and lived-in, more like a private home than a standard rental. The private courtyard with a heated plunge pool adds an unexpected layer of calm in the heart of the city.
