Hi!! We are two sisters, Amalia and Antigoni. Amalia lives in Ano Gatzea and Antigoni lives in Athens. In 2007, Villa Amanti came into our hands, as a precious gift of our ancestors who lived between Greece and Egypt: in Agios Georgios and Ano Gatzea, in Cairo and Alexandria, to finally end up in Athens, the city that gave birth to us. We fell in love with this house and its surroundings, and with zest and zeal we decided to bring the house back to life, while retaining its character and charm. Gradually, it turned into a retreat for our family vacations and a starting point for group excursions. Our friends could relax, our children could build memories of summer holidays, and we have found a refuge, a place to escape from the crazy commotion of Athens. Realizing our friends’ enthusiasm and our children’s delight, we felt we should share it with others. Thus came the idea of renting. This house should not remain empty on days that none of our family or friends were able to visit. We christened it “Villa Amanti” from the first few letters of our names. Amanti, which in Italian means lovers: lovers of the past, the present, of life, of joy and happiness…
