About this property
Beautiful Apartment On The Edge Of Edinburgh’s Historic New Town
The Upper Villa is located in the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh, on the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage site. The property is ideally situated for exploring Edinburgh's historic Old and New Towns, with the famous Edinburgh Castle, Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Royal Mile only a short distance away.
Please note that an obligatory 5% Tourist Levy will be applied to bookings dated on and after 24 July 2026 made after the 1 October 2025. The levy is applied to the first 5 days of any stay.
Stockbridge has a wide variety of shops, delicatessens, restaurants and bars located minutes from the property. Other attractions nearby include the Botanic Gardens and The Water Of Leith Walkway.
The Upper Villa occupies the top two floors of a late 19th century property. A small flight of steps take guests to the main door and another flight of 20 steps within the apartment reaches the first floor landing. The acommodation comprises an impressive drawing room, four bedrooms (each with a double bed and the 3 larger bedrooms have an additional single bed), two bathrooms (one with shower and the other with shower and bath) and a fully equipped kitchen with range cooker. Additional features include HD Cable TV (all major sports channels available), DVD, CD and video (with a selection of CDs, videos and DVDs), wireless speaker with bluetooth compatibility, hi-speed wireless internet connection, and a selection of board games. The apartment features many attractive period features such as an ornamental cornice on the drawing room ceiling. It is the perfect place to relax, in the perfect city for your holiday.
If we can do anything to make your stay enjoyable, we will! We provide the basic necessities for your arrival (tea, coffee, milk, bread, sugar etc and toiletries in each bathroom). If you have a 'wish list' of additional items to be left for your arrival, just ask. We do request a minimum rental of four nights and sometimes more at peak times.
