Villa Castello

This is an extraordinary property with glorious views of the port of Hydra, and over to the mainland. It has great atmosphere, very comfortable beds and is in a unique location. The quietness is delightfully broken by the passing boats.

The very minor downside was the kitchen equipment. The location, views and interior warrant the price, but we needed some basics which were then supplied.

Excellent location with nice view

Beautiful old villa with plenty of historical features, easily walkable from main port (just round the corner). Huge terrace (which we didn't use much but nice to have). Lovely feature in bathrooms where the natural rock walls were built into the shower. Really comfy mattresses and bedding. Nice, welcoming owners who came to pick us up from the port at a late hour as ferry was delayed.

Nothing. The villa served our purpose really well and fitted perfectly into Hydra's charming vibe.

Location was good

This wasn't a two bed apartment, but a one bed with a small double in the kitchen diner as well, which made family life very difficult if someone needed a rest. The kitchenette was very small and ill-equipped with few cooking utensils. The shower had no curtain in a large stone room so was easily cold and the sewers smelled. It seemed like an elderly person lived here and no effort has been made to furnish or equip for travelling guests. The internet was very poor and the television is greek only.
