A beautifully restored 1810 Hydrian mansion offering intimate luxury just moments from Hydra's harbour.
This beautiful mansion was built by one of the island's prominent shipping families and has been carefully restored by their descendants, who've managed to keep its character intact whilst adding the modern comforts travellers expect these days.
High stone walls encircle peaceful courtyards and a garden where citrus trees provide shade.
With just seven rooms and suites which are split over the ground and first floors, each with its own personality.
Downstairs you'll find rich dark wood panelling and exposed stone walls that feel truly historic, whilst upstairs the rooms are lighter and airier with high beamed ceilings. All feature carefully chosen antiques from the family's collection, supremely comfortable beds with Egyptian cotton linen, and well-appointed marble bathrooms with rainfall showers and Korres toiletries.
Breakfast is a generous affair, homemade pies, fresh juices, and local pastries served either in the atmospheric fireplace lounge or brought to your room. The mansion's resident tortoise potters about the courtyard, and you'll likely meet a few of Hydra's famously friendly cats during your stay.
The harbour's tavernas, galleries, and cafés are an easy ten minute stroll away, but return to the mansion and you're cocooned in tranquillity.
