Superb 19C stone house with yard, 3 mins walk - no steps - to Hydra port

The host was very communicative with information regarding the property - location, access and WiFi. It is just a short walk from the port.

The host met us at the port and walked us to the apartment and that was a nice bonus because navigating can be confusing when first arriving. The apartment was as described in the listing with perhaps one exception. It was not clear to us that there are actually 3 floors of living space because the kitchen/laundry are in the basement. As stated in the listing, if you have any mobility issues with stairs, this may not be suitable for you. The two living spaces, one near the kitchen and one on the middle floor, are both comfortable and the beds were also very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and having a laundry was great! The outdoor seating in the Courtyard complete with electrical outlets was very, very nice and we spent quite a bit of time sitting outside in the sun. All in all a very nice stay for us as a couple but we are very fit and mobile and if we had older people or small children traveling with us, it would not have worked well.

Clesn, no view, dark kichen, poor bathroom privacy, nice bedroom.

We enjoyed the location and amenities. Great property!

House is perfectly located in the center of town. Easy walk to the beach and restaurants. Didn't spend much time indoors but house was appointed with everything we needed and extras (movie projector, washing machine , etc...) Would love to stay again!

Hydra is a special place - no cars, no noise, another than the clop clop of donkey’s passing by. We loved the place and island so much we extended a day! Jump in the water is clear.

Lovely quiet location, easy access to the Port, supermarkets, and restaurants of this wonderful island. The layout was wonderful for two couples and the terraces were brilliant for eating outside and relaxing within easy reach of the well appointed kitchen. Our friends loved the use of the main bedroom in the villa while we enjoyed the well appointed annex in the courtyard. It was a very happy stay for all of us and would revisit in a heartbeat. We were met at the Port by the friendly and helpful manager Tracy and as said there was very little difficulty with the steps even though there were many. Thank you Harinos for your help and your glorious properrty

The property is well presented and it did accommodate 8 people (2 families of 4). Although we had to spend some time to figure out how best to allocate bedding because it’s not all conveniently located. Essentially, all living space was taken up by bedding, so there was no area we could use to relax internally during the day. The owner Dimitri has said they will market the property as a 6 person property going forward. We liked the outdoor seating area but I think it could do with a covered area to shelter from sun and rain. The flimsy outdoor umbrella really takes away from the property’s charm. We really liked the large fully equipped kitchen which we used to make cooked breakfasts every morning. The location was very convenient, which doesn’t require any assistance for luggage transportation. Privacy is a bit of an issue when wanting to use the bathroom facilities... I think installing a door to the toilet and shower rather than a curtain would be appropriate. Dimitri has taken on this feedback and will be making changes to make the facilities more private. There is also a large area for laundry facilities. I think with a few extra touches this could be a great property for 5 to 6 people.

Harinos has created an incredible home on Hydra. The property was immaculate and very thoughtfully designed to reflect a remarkable degree of environmental and historical consciousness. The property lies approximately four city blocks above the central harbor and promenade and is a wonderful location for your stay in Hydra. We enjoyed dining at Isalose for both breakfast and dinner ( many places were closed during low season) and there was a supermarket within about a block of the home. The silence at night without motorized vehicles was a welcome relief after several evenings in both Athens and Nafplio. We enjoyed long walks along the shoreline paths and although high winds delayed our departure, we managed to use the local ferry to Metochi which was a minimal 25-30 minute voyage. The home and Courtyard were marvelous for relaxing at night and we enjoyed a lovely evening outside beside the fireplace once the winds had subsided. Thank you kindly for the use of you home and if you ever choose to visit the Caribbean, please give me a call and you are welcome to stay in our island home in the Dominican Republic.
