Great stay in Hydra

Lovely house and nice to be in a more traditional home, but still comfortable and lots of space (good for a family). Especially loved the outdoor spaces. Liked that it was in a quiet area, but still easily accessible to the harbor (yes, it is a bit of a steep climb up, especially with a suitcase, but just know that going in).

A lovely quiet house - be aware that it's a bit up the hill, so guests are likely to burn a few calories acquired at lunch or dinner! Fortunately Alex arranged a concierge to meet us off the ferry and help with luggage up the cobbled streets.

Lovely stay, quite basic

The amenities of the property were fine but quite basic. The property is much further up the hill than it showed on the map. This was fine as we were fit young adults, but would have liked a heads up. The shower overflows easily and the is only one real bedroom. The second bedroom is the living room with a bed in the corner & nothing separating it. I’ve come across this in hydra before but normally there is a separator or a curtain to make the living room usable. I tried to gently have a conversation with the owner about the location being further away than I had an anticipated and he looked me up on LinkedIn and accused me of trying to start a fight.

This is totally unacceptable . You never expressed any complain about my summerhouse until after your departure that you only told me that it’s further up than you initially thought.( it’s 700 meters from the port ) . The house is 100 square meters and you are commenting about the living room?? Also stating that I looked you up on LinkedIn can be taken only as a joke. Being rude to the owner and putting 3/5 after “your lovely stay” shows your mentality. Take care.

Large home

Traditional Greek dwelling. Nothing fancy but has everything you need. Farther up the hill than I had anticipated. Beds were very comfortable. Air conditioning worked amazing. Communication could have been a little better. For example I’m coming in as a tourist and didn’t understand I needed to find Piraeus bank to meet the concierge. Everyone else had signs at the port, so that was confusing. The keys for the exterior door were very hard to get in and out of. Mostly we hopped over the wall to enter and exit. They did have a washing machine which was amazingly helpful. Overall I’d give it a sold 4.25. 5 for actual space and 4 for how far away from town. You’d definitely need a mule or cart to bring your belongings.

If you have never been to Hydra, you would not know that it is an uphill climb on cobblestone everywhere you go. Definitely have a donkey carry your luggage unless you travel very light. Do not expect modern conveniences on an island: microwave, dryer, drip coffee maker, things marked in English, etc. The beauty of the place is its old world charm. We were uptight about a lot of missing conveniences but learned to embrace the culture.

Maison charmante mais ça monte...

Réservation faite 2 j avant notre arrivée, l hote a été très réactif pour répondre. Reçu par une personne parlant très peu l anglais, pas évident de se faire comprendre. La maison d extérieur est très charmante, l intérieur est plus ancien, notamment la minuscule Sdb qui mériterait vraiment une rénovation. Elle est située à une quinzaine de minutes du port, et ca monte ! Nous n avons pas croisé notre hôte et laissé les clés ennpartant. Séjour agréable, avec qqs travaux, ce serait encore mieux !

Hydra life at its best

The house is an easy walk from the port, and very convenient location. It's a beautiful cottage in a neighborhood that makes you part of life here. It was a perfect size for us and our teenage daughter, who had her own space. We love it, and will absolutely be back.
