Neoclassical building modernised, sleeps 2-4, Bed & breakfast
Vol.5 The Mini Lodge is situated in the very heart of Athens, on a quiet pedestrian street just 50 metres from Ermou Street and approximately 300 metres from Syntagma Square. This central position offers immediate access to the capital’s most iconic landmarks, shopping districts, and cultural attractions, placing guests within effortless reach of the city’s vibrant energy while maintaining a sense of calm and exclusivity.
Housed within a distinguished 19th-century Athenian neoclassical residence, the property carries significant historical character. Originally constructed in 1896, the same year as the first modern Olympic Games held in Athens, the building reflects the architectural elegance of its era, with refined proportions and enduring craftsmanship that remain evident throughout.
The residence is located on a charming pedestrian street named after Vitsentzos Kornaros, one of the most celebrated figures of Cretan literature. This cultural connection further enriches the identity of the property, situating it within a setting that reflects both literary and historical heritage.
In 2017, the building underwent a thoughtful transformation led by theminilodge.com, evolving into what is now known as Vol.5 The Mini Lodge. The renovation carefully preserved the neoclassical integrity of the structure while introducing a contemporary approach to hospitality design. The result is a collection of five concept suites that combine character, comfort, and modern functionality within a historic framework.
Each suite has been individually designed to offer a warm and inviting atmosphere, with attention given to comfort, detail, and understated style. The interiors create a homely yet sophisticated environment, designed to provide a restful retreat in the centre of a dynamic capital city. The scale of the property ensures a sense of privacy and exclusivity, appealing to those seeking a more intimate accommodation experience.
Vol.5 The Mini Lodge offers an alternative perspective on urban stays in Athens, balancing architectural heritage with modern design sensibilities. Its central location makes it an ideal base for exploring the city’s archaeological sites, museums, dining scene, and retail districts, while the peaceful pedestrian surroundings provide a welcome contrast to the energy of the surrounding metropolis.
