Constructed entirely with stones, thick walls and high wooden ceilings, it is a perfect example of the traditional Greek baronial home that stands the test of time. On the ground floor there is a fully equipped, wonderful "french countryside" style kitchen where guests will find everything they need, a bathroom/WC, a spacious dining room, two double bedrooms and a day lounge/twin bedroom. The master bedroom overlooks the garden while the other has direct access to the back yard, which is perfect for breakfast, lunch or simply for enjoying the sun. Adjacent to the bathroom is a storeroom, where guests will find and have access to a washing machine and an additional freezer. The top floor consists of a spacious sitting room, an attic and two large terraces that offer majestic views of the sea and the mountains. The day lounge downstairs, which is next to the Double bedroom and separated from it by a door, has 2 single beds. There is a couch upstairs which can sleep one more person so this place can easily sleep seven, provided one is happy to sleep on the couch. Guests will also enjoy the luscious garden: a serene and magical place to unwind and relax at any time!

Kamini is a beautiful and quiet area and a 10-15 min walk into town. Castello or 'baby beach' as it's referred to, is a five minute walk to the house which is perfect for families and has an onsite restaurant and sunbeds which you can hire. For those who enjoy more quiet places to swim, there are several rocks near the harbour and next to 'Kondylenia' taverna. Other beaches worth visiting are Vlychos (10-15 min by foot, following the path after Castello), and Mandraki/Mira Mare which is a 20 min journey by foot from Hydra town, after the Miaoulis museum. There are also organised day trips to other beautiful beaches such as Molos, Bisti and the Peloponnese and you can find more information about the timetables by enquiring when in Hydra. Private boat rentals are also something some of our previous guests have opted in for in the past. As there are no cars on Hydra island, transport is either by donkey, water taxis or walking. The house is in short walking distance from the town centre. Guests with lots of luggage are advised to hire a donkey so that they don't have to carry it all the way up to the house, as there are a few steps leading to the house. This can be arranged by us.
