About this house rental
Large, holiday villa for maximum 8 people to share in Kamini on Hydra Island Greece. Wonderful sea views with only 20 steps from the level coast road.
You will find Villa Francesca just a short walk from Hydra harbor on the coast road just before Kamini Harbor. This traditional house facing the sea was built in the 1950s and was fully restored recently. It measures 200 sq.m. and is set in a beautiful Mediterranean garden of citrus, olive, cypress and bougainvillea trees.
The house configuration includes three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, one large living room with a fireplace, a sleeping alcove ideal for children, and a large kitchen with a dining area and a fireplace. Three separate terraces complement the living spaces of the house: just outside the kitchen, a large bougainvillea shaded terrace with a dining table for 12, next to bedroom 2 a jasmine/wisteria shaded terrace with a hammock and next to the living room an uncovered terrace with breathtaking views! Every room of the house faces west and enjoys an unobstructed view of the sunset, sea and the islands of Dokos and Spetses.
Only 500 meters from the port of Hydra and 200 meters from the port of Kamini the house combines the perfect quiet whilst having easy access to the best restaurants and beaches of the island. There are only 20 steps from the main coast road. The closest beach is at Castello, approximately 300 meters from the house.
The house features a fully equipped kitchen with serious cooks in mind, a Weber bbq and a wood-burning oven. All rooms are fully air-conditioned and 2 of them have ceiling fans. WiFi, a Bluetooth enabled sound system and TVs with Netflix are provided.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2023
Such sweet sorrow upon leaving! This has been one of the most fantastic and beautiful and restful time in our entire lives. Villa Francesca is a wonderful home, and gave us more than we ever dreamed. We cooked and walked and cooked and laughed and cooked such magnificent meals with Gypsy jazz on the Marshall bluetooth. And Nopi is a dream herself. We are looking for a property manager for our beach house and we may have to make her an offer! The bonus was the holiday parade portside - with Nopi’s marching grandchildren! We are already plotting our return. Truly, the finest home with the most beautiful vistas of navy blue and turquoise waters imaginable. Did I mention the herbs surrounding us? The orange and lemon and grapefruit and pomegranate trees to plunder every morning? (One part ouzo to one part fresh pomegranate juice to three parts sparkling water, with a fresh slice of green lemon is the perfect apertivo.) The fish bought right off the boat and grilled within minutes. The excellent kitchen with all-clad cookware and sharp knives is the antidote to crappy rental property kitchens. You’re just a minute or two from good tavernas, but who cares with such gorgeous ingredients all around you and a dream kitchen. Peace and thank you.

The online listing did not fully describe the bedroom and bathroom situation. There is one nice bedroom with an adjoining bathroom. It has a queen bed. The other bedrooms are sub par. The bedroom with a king bed is essentially in the basement with only 1 small window. We had terrible water bugs in the king bedroom and bathroom our entire 10 day stay. Also, the water broiler went out on our second day. It was replaced the next day. The housekeeper was excellent. We would not stay at this house again. Also, 10 days is too long of a stay in Hydra. Recommend 4 to 5 days.
