    Boutique hotel. Balcony overlooking Acropolis. A warm welcome after a stressful trip and complementary prosecco! Lovely molton brown bath products . The room was compact but nicely designed with a cool spacious bathroom . The breakfast however was unbelievable. So much food! Insane! All of it made to order and exquisite. We couldn’t eat hardly any of it as was so much. Heartbreaking as it was all so fresh and delicious. And all in the wonderful rooftop restaurant overlooking the bar.
