Gorgeous, cozy traditional house overlooking Hydra harbor. Our host could not do enough for us. He organized our mule transfers for our luggage up and down the hill, gave us freebies and generous discounts in his restaurant/cafe at the port. Fantastic communication. The house itself is homely and oh so comfortable. I felt like I was in my own home. Lovely views out the windows and cozy courtyard with views on one side to the harbor. Great amenities and cooking facilities.

The walk is steep and not for the unfit or elderly. There is a minimart close by but eating out is a walk down (and back up!) the hill. Over 300 steps. You could organize a taxi mule (no cars or bikes on Hydra) if you are happy to jump on and be lead. The swimming is off the rocks with ladders in and out. There is a beach around the corner from the port but the rock swimming is nicer. You could catch a water taxi to wherever from the port, however it was the end of our 10 week trip and we just wanted to chill. Hydra is extremely expensive shopping, actually ridiculously so for clothes. We had been to other Greek islands and usually managed to find at least one or two reasonably priced shops. Not on Hydra. The jewellery was nice and probably fair but the clothes were usually €120-€200 for the same dress I could buy in Italy for €20-€30. This was disappointing..... shout out to retailers in Hydra, if one of you did get on board with fair pricing, you'd make a lot of money....even a market stall.

Fantastisk utsikt, nydelig terrasse og god plass for en familie. Vi ble hentet på havnen og muldyr sto klare til å frakte bagasjen. Veldig hyggelig og profesjonell vert.

The home overlooking the harbour is a very special place indeed. First, a little about Ioannis, the owner of the property. Ioannis greeted us in person at the property and throughout the week nothing was too much trouble for him. He is a warm and very helpful person who made our stay a real pleasure. He also owns a fabulous restaurant Mikra Anglia where we dined twice and Isolas his lovely cafe for breakfast. So we felt very much at home. The home itself is truly stunning: very spacious, immaculately clean and well stocked with toiletries and kitchen equipment. The beds were also super comfortable. The view is also simply stunning. One point: Ioannis makes very clear in his booking information that his home is reached by over 300 steps so it makes for a challenging after dinner climb. Totally worth the effort for those who are fit and young at heart but if you have mobility issues then probably a challenge.

Lovely light and airy house in a beautiful position above the town with stunning views of the harbour from the main bedroom and sitting room. Pretty and well appointed terrace. Wonderful sense of calm each day when we got back! The owner Ioannis organised mules to collect us from the ferry to take our luggage up the steep hill. All his communications with us were so friendly and helpful. Hydra is idyllic and we cannot wait to come back.

Amazing views over stunning Hydra harbour. Very spacious, clean and well equipped.

Absolutely stunning place

The view from the property is amazing, and so nice staying in someone’s home. Our stay was made so easy, with our first connection at the owners Isalos cafe just 20-30m from where one gets off the ferry. From there donkeys had been arrange to take our bags up the hill to the house, which winds its way up through the narrows streets and steps. The climb is worth the effort with magical views. We ate at the Isalos cafe and his two restaurant's Kai Kremmidi and the more formal Mikra Agglia which have excellent food. The staff at all were very helpful, all speak good English and seem to enjoy explaining the various dishes on the menu
