Captain's House - Historical home in Hydra 1800

The location couldn't be better. A huge terrace overlooking the port. Priceless. The host's hospitality couldn't have been more gracious. There's a funny story about it. Our stay coincided with a time when the weather is unpredictable. Our ferry was cancelled, and there was no problem extending our stay. Furthermore, he offered all the help we needed to find solutions for leaving the island. The house is very pleasant and includes a separate guest house... we know it well, and it's cozy, with a kitchen and a small bathroom. It's a real pleasure to wake up in the morning and look out over the port.

Be careful, the keys to the outer gate also include the keys to the main house. We arrived at night and made a mistake. We went straight to the guest house. Otherwise, everything was fine.

The balcony out front is the best feature. Very large with a great view. We used the small courtyard out back more than I expected. Nice place to eat breakfast in the shade. The decoration of the apartment made it feel like a museum in a good way. Very comfortable stay. I would definitely consider renting the apartment again.

Not problems, just things to be aware of. The kitchenette in main house is very limited. The kitchen in the quest house is much more useful. I would always want to rent both units which means this is best for a larger group. It is worth noting that to access the bathroom in the main house you need to walk through the master bedroom. That was not an issue for us just something to be aware of. There is fairly significant set of stairs to climb to reach the apartment. Not unexpected and we were not surprised but something to consider.

The location was wonderful and the views were pleasing. A thoroughly calming place. Comfortable rooms with everything needed.

The steps were steep and slippery without railings. It was very worthwhile once you got there.
