About this property
Entire place
Superb 19C stone house with yard, 3 mins walk - no steps - to Hydra port
The 200 years-old house was passed from generation to generation of working sponge divers and fishermen. The pride of its owners is reflected in the austere architectural volumes and their sculptural beauty - typical of Hydra island – both humbly preserved in the recent renovation.
You will enjoy casual, all-natural materials, and minimalist décor that brings out the beautifully raw qualities of the stone structure. All furniture, sinks and even wall lights are hand-made by Greek craftsmen, and original art by Greek artists adorns the walls.
The villa consists of two buildings - the old 2-floor stone house, and the (more recent) guest house, around a beautiful 65m2 outside private yard/patio on three levels, all enclosed within the private villa area complex.
Access to the villa from Hydra port does not require climbing stairs. The ground floor areas of the villa including the guest house (with double bed and en-suite), main bathroom and main yard are easily accessible to people with reduced mobility.
Note there are no cars, motorcycles or bicycles anywhere on Hydra Island. Primary transport is by walking, assisted by donkeys and water taxis.
The indoor layout is open plan with no internal doors, walls or partitions allowing abundant natural light and ventilation, even at the expense of some privacy. Full-length white curtains substitute for internal doors, providing a delicate balance between spaciousness and privacy.
The kitchen is professionally equipped, particularly for healthy cooking and eating – you choose whether to cook indoor or outdoor or a bit of both.
The yard is perfect for warm gatherings of friends, families and special guests, under the stars or under the morning shade. Please respect quiet hours.
It is an easy two minutes’ walk along charming cobbled paths to all amenities, shops, eating, arts and entertainment options available around Hydra port. There are no steps to climb to or from the villa.
The nearest supermarket is within a minute walk, as is the main town square with eating and cafe options.
Beach boats and water taxis can be found straight ahead when you reach the quay. The nearest swimming point, Spilia, is a further five minutes’ walk along the sea-side path.
Continue on the paths either side of the picture-perfect port for stunning sea-side walks and jogs, longer for scenic and rewarding hikes to untouched parts of the island.
The villa is designed and equipped for active, healthy living, and incorporates a number of ecological features. Traditional wooden windows are fitted with double glazing and retractable screens for worry-free use. Energy-efficient air-conditioning/heating and appliances, low wattage LED dimmable lights are fitted throughout the villa.
A restored, fully-functioning cistern provides an authentic rainwater outdoor shower experience after a hot morning at the beach, a jogging session or your hiking adventure. (It also provides an alternative water supply when needed).
Expect to live like a local in this quiet, charming residential neighborhood in Hydra town, in touch with the daily natural rhythms of this very special island and its people.
