About this property

Pretty 3 bedroom house in Hydra town close to the port, no steps, pvt courtyard

The Courtyard House is an 18th-century stone house in a peaceful but central part of Hydra town. It has the rare advantage of being only a 3 min walk (without steps) from the lovely harbour where all the cafes and shops are.
The house has a large secluded courtyard with a lemon tree. This pretty courtyard is surrounded by wisteria and jasmine, an ideal place for a tranquil breakfast.
With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (1 with a bath tub, 2 with showers), the house comfortably sleeps six. However, there is also a sofa bed in one of the sitting rooms for 2 extra guests. Travel cot also available.
Decorated in a traditional style, the house has kept its original character, while at the same time has all the comforts of clean, modern living. The kitchen and bathrooms have been renovated. There are 2 living rooms, a large kitchen, a master bedroom and bathroom and 2 guest bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. All the rooms have lovely high wooden ceilings and wooden floorboards.


More about the house: On the first floor, the master bedroom has a double bed and a single bed and use of the main bathroom with bath tub. The master bedroom opens out onto a pretty secluded terrace where one can have quiet cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine surrounded by the smell of jasmine.

The other large bedroom on this level has a double bed and its own balcony. It also has its own en suite bathroom.

The third bedroom is on the ground floor. It has a double bed and a small single bed and it also has an en suite bathroom.

The kitchen is large with a family breakfast table and is fully equipped with a toaster, kettle, oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, cutlery and crockery, etc.

Some of the comforts of the Courtyard House include: a DVD player, TV-with NETFLIX and Amazon Prime, a fully-equipped kitchen, a dishwasher, a washing machine, air-conditioning, proximity to the harbour and weekly maid service.

And finally : Hydra is a treasured getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. The Courtyard House is a safe haven for little ones, as is Hydra itself. It is a very easy picturesque walk to the harbour without any steps and the lack of cars and mopeds make Hydra an ideal destination.

Visitors to the house will be met at the port and shown to the house. Although you will have complete privacy during your stay, assistance or advice will only be a phone call away.

We stock the house with an initial supply of bottled water, juice, milk, coffee and tea upon arrival- there is a supermarket just 2 minutes walk from the house. We also provide a weekly maid service as part of the rental fee. More frequent service can be organised for an additional fee.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Absolutely amazing stay! We would love to come back to this property someday. Comfortable, clean, roomy, great location. We especially liked the private courtyard and spent a lot of time there. The kitchen was well-stocked for preparing our own meals, which we ate outside in the courtyard. A small grocery store was within a few minutes walk. The neighborhood was incredibly private and quiet.

A lovely stay in a perfectly central and quiet location with all the comforts and amenities you could possibly need. The private courtyard and balcony were an added bonus and it was a treat to have private outdoor space! It felt like we had our own Hydra home and we didn’t want to leave. Nikolas was a wonderful host - responsive, friendly, and easy to reach. Would be happy to return!

Nickolos had perfect communication. Tracy met us as soon as we got off the ferry in Hydra and explained everything we needed to know about the property upon arrival. Very close to harbor, restaurants, and shops. Very large apartment. Wish we could have stayed longer!Tip - have dinner at the Sunset Restaurant. You will love it!

Hydra First Visit

We travel from the US to Symi every summer to stay in our family home and try to visit another island as well, this was our first time on Hydra and staying in The Courtyard House made us feel at home. The blue floor caught our eye when reviewing properties and the house is just as nice in person. Excellent location and very comfortable.

I wished we could've stayed the whole month

This was truly so above and beyond everything I could've hoped for in a rental property. Starting with the wonderful Tracy who met us at the harbor and brought us right up to the property - which is stunning! And even better than gorgeous for a family traveling with two young kids, it had everything we needed for comfortable stay. The location can't be beat, we were right in the heart of Hydra. I am almost hesitant to write how magical this place is, because I want to make sure it is available next time I can return!

Our return visit to Hydra & the Courtyard House did not disappoint. House is exactly as the pictures show & everyone is very responsive to any questions that arise.
