The chic island of Hydra is unique in that there are no cars - only donkeys. This traditional stone mansion is renovated to a high standard and decorated in a classical/Bohemian style. It has all the luxury without pretension. It has two good sized balconies with fantastic sea views and a roof terrace with a 360 degree panorama of the sea/ islands interior. The master bedroom, in blue and white, has it's own balcony as well as double doors that open to give a sea view from the bed. This room has it's own bathroom/private stairs to the pool. The second bedroom has two comfortable single beds. The third bedroom is on a mezzanine floor reach by a spiral staircase. Upstairs there is the main sitting room, a well equipped whitewashed kitchen, and a large dining room with an oval table and interesting art on the walls.

The island of Hydra is a quiet paradise. The large village of Hydra is nestled around the port in a natural amphitheatre form. Layers of tiles roofs gradually climbing the hills around the bay so each has a stunning view and each can be seen. The island attracts a discerning population who enjoy the narrow white washed streets and the excellent cuisine. Small designer jewellery shops jostle with cafes on the water front and galleries and designer clothes shops are hidden in unexpected corners. But the most unique aspect of Hydra is that there are no cars, no motorbikes and no buses. The only form of transport is donkey and so the pace of Hydra has slowed down to a relaxing dreamy level. It is so tranquil and peaceful that it is almost surprising to find the nightlife that sparkles around the port in the evening. Large and small boats search for births in the port at the weekend and the comings and goings and tangling of anchors provide the onlooker with plenty of amusement.

Further details for this holiday villa rental in Hydra Island, Greece

On arrival.: You will be greeted at the port by Sue the housekeeper and taken up to Cyprus Villa. If you have heavy bags it can be arranged before hand to have a donkey waiting for you to take your bags up for you. Sue speaks English and has a shop in the port and so is available to deal with any concerns or problems if they arise.

What else?: The port of Hydra is a short walk from the Cyprus Villa. If you fancy a day of exploring you can, from the port of Hydra take the coast road to the next bay that offers water sports and has a taverna or you can jump into a water taxi that will whisk you there in seconds. If you wish to explore further there a ferries and hydrofoils daily to the next island of Spetsus in one direction and Poros (where there is a Spa in Galatas, opposite.) in the other, both of which are ideal for a day out. Exploring Hydra you will find that the tavernas are good and the cafe bars in the harbour are popular. There is a generous supply of interesting shops, some of which are very chic. If you wish to explore out of the center you can climb up to two monasteries, one of which has been inhabited by one person for the last ten years who is rarely sighted. On the far side of Hydra are secluded bays for private swimming and goat tracks to follow.

Privacy.: The people of Hydra have a sense of privacy and discretion. The building regulations state that no window can over look someone else's property and those that do because they are so old have been tightly shuttered closed. This sense of privacy has made Hydra into a place that people come to take a relaxing holiday with assurance of discretion. Leonard Cohen, Joan Collins and Richard Branson are some of the well known people that have holiday homes here. Cyprus villa has this sense of privacy and assures you a holiday in which you can relax.

Other Activities: shopping, relaxing, dining out, people watching.

Fab house on a lovely island!!

JuliaW London, England
Review Submitted: January 22, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
This is a great house and Hydra is a really lovely island.

We had a very peaceful stay and I highly recommend it.

Hydra has no cars and so is safe for children, and will appeal to families.

Not such a quiet paradise

Sue, Phil and Ann Surrey & London E17
Review Submitted: August 25, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008
Although the house and its setting was lovely, our stay was spoilt by the noise of the building work taking place around us. We have travelled extensively throughout the Greek Islands for over 30 years and enjoy the hustle and bustle of island and village life but have never had a holiday disrupted to this extent before. We accept that you cannot stand in the way of progress or renovation but we feel that we should have been notified about the works taking place above, below and across from the house before our arrival.
Owner's Response: The building work noise near the house was regrettable, although we did manage to persuade the workmen to start later in the day than they normally would.

The majority of work is now (Oct 2008) complete and we are assured that there will be no disruption next summer.
