Grandmas Guest House

The cottage is simple, beautiful and traditionally arranged. It is very comfortable and homely and has everything you need, without being “high end”. Our hosts were lovely meeting us, prompt with communicating and clearly in love with their island and home. Don’t come looking for a luxury apartment. Come looking for your family’s ideal cottage escape.

Everything was wonderful.

Le cadre chaleureux, l’accueil et les attentions de l’hôtesse qui avait tout prévu pour le petit-déjeuner et le petit verre d’arrivée, les draps de qualité, le calme des lieux qui rend le séjour très coocooning.

A défaut de lave-vaisselle, pas vraiment nécessaire, il serait bien d’avoir de l’eau chaude à la cuisine. Il conviendrait de prévenir que la pente est vraiment raide pour arriver jusqu'à la maison et que tout le monde ne peut effectuer ce chemin.

The 2 bedroom cottage was perfect for the 3 of us. It was exceptionally clean. the owners left breakfast supplies and a nice bottle of wine when we arrived. It was a wonderful place. the only warning is to be aware it is located about a half mile walk uphill to reach it from the port and main town area. But worth it. Just be prepared.

Just plan your day for the walk unless you are young and fit.

Ottima accoglienza. Nella casa c'era già tutto quello che serviva per la colazione e una bottiglia di vino di benvenuto. La casa era ben attrezzata da molti punti di vista, anche con bollitore elettrico e tostapane (che non si trovano spesso in Grecia). La proprietaria è venuta a prenderci al porto con mulo per portare i bagagli.

L' unico difetto della casa è di essere un po' lontano dal porto dove sono negozi e ristoranti. Questo rende la casa molto piacevolmente tranquilla, ma due volte al giorno avanti e indietro fa un po' fatica, soprattutto la sera dopo cena. A noi i gatti piacciono, ma a qualcuno avere due mici che cercano sempre di entrare in casa e saltano sul tavolo della colazione può dare fastidio.

Comfortable and prepared and cozy for us! We had everything we needed and more. Vaso greeted us at the port, helped us book mules for our luggage, and was always available and so sweet and helpful.

The fact of the matter is that Hydra is a car-less, bike-less island and this property is very high on the hill. The cobblestone road to get there is completely safe, legit, marked, and easy to follow. But it is slippery, by nature of it being old and worn and beautiful! So it is a somewhat stressful trek up and down, even though it is as feasible as it possibly could be.

Nice small house with a nice patio.

The house is located up on the hills, it’s exhausting to walk there in the summer when it’s sunny and hot. The stove was broken when we checked in, we got a new, small topstove instead. It was not good for making dinner. The kitchen is very small and hard to work in. To much furniture and things in the house.

This is a the perfect accomodation in Ydra. The house it self is a pice of art, romantic and cozy. Very cool and comfy. The owners are really nice and helpfull with whatever you might need. It is very clean and close to the port but in a quite area. I would recomand it over and over.

Vasso’s attention to detail was phenomenal. She makes the difference.

Everything was wonderful.

The host was very nice. The shower had good pressure:)

The furniture, layout, quality of the linens…
