Incredible location, home and hosts
After a mighty uphill walk (bring minimal things ; ) we were rewarded with an incredible home, view and island experience. Hydra is it! It was our favourite place in Greece. Mette was very kind and helpful and the house has all the things we needed and more supplies than most places provide.

Amazing
We loved Hydra, this timeless little island, and the house played a major role in our family's well-being during our week's holiday. It's very well thought out, you don't lack anything. It's very pleasant to live in, which was a real pleasure. For children up to 6 years old, the climb up to the house may be difficult, but otherwise everything is perfect!

Worth the uphill walk!
This is a great property! Clean, quiet, nice views. The uphill climb is not for the faint of heart, but it’s worth every step. Not that Hydra is a loud party town, but it’s good to be up and away from the crowds. Mornings are mostly filled with birds chirping and roosters crowing. You just have to plan your days around one trip down and one trip up. We found that easy to do. Laze around in the morning, walk down, get a light lunch, walk a trail or go to a beach, shop, have a nice dinner, then walk back up at around 9 pm or 10 pm. Highly recommended!

Hydra la belle hors du temps
Nous sommes arrivés à Hydra en famille. Le port est magnifique et très préservé. Une ambiance hors du temps y règne sans les voitures, avec les mules et toutes ses petites ruelles. Après avoir grimpé quelques mètres, nous decouvrons la villa Hydra. Telle qu elle est décrite dans l'annonce. Très confortable, propre et bien équipée. Elle surplombe la vallée et offre une vue magnifique. Nous avons très bien communiqué avec Mette qui était très disponible pour répondre à toutes nos questions. Superbe

Wunderbar ländlich
Das Haus liegt herrlich am Rande des Dorfes, kein Touristentrubel, dafür krähende Hähne und wiehernde Mulis. Ja, der Heimweg ist sportlich, vor allem bei Hitze und mit Einkäufen, aber es ist wirklich überschaubar und ein schöner Weg. Ohne die Kinder (die jede Katze streicheln wollten) haben wir 10 Minuten runter und 12 hoch gebraucht. Wir würden die Wohnung sofort nochmal buchen!

Awesome place
This place is unique if you are looking for a peaceful environment. Exceptional view from the house and nice walks into nature. Don't expect a café every 5 km. You will not find it, take a pick-nick with local products from one of the grocery shops instead and enjoy the beautiful island. Lots of possibilities for a nice dinner in the upper part of the town, away from the crowd if you prefer. Wrt the house, good quality of the bed, clear information about the house and environment. We enjoyed very much !

Wonderful!
We spent two weeks in the apartment and felt very comfortable. Yes, the way there is steep (as described), but for that you are surrounded by beautiful nature and have a great view of the mountains. The apartment is perfect for families, clean and well equipped. We especially enjoyed the balcony and the relaxing terrace (from evening). Thank you Mette, for the nice communication and the organization of our luggage transport by the mules.

Our Greek Summer
We had the great pleasure to stay at Mette´s place on Hydra for 7 weeks. Mette and her family were outstanding kind and supportive. We never felt alone. Every topic that came up was quickly reseloved. Key handover and checkout were easy. But prepare yourself for some walking as the house is up the hill and 10 minutes outside the harbour area. The house itself is spacious, modern and has all amanities one can whish for. It is even child proof. Mette also offered us to use the families beach shoes for the pebble beaches on Hydra. We had a wonderful time and would stay with Mette again. Thank you!

Fantastic views, excellent amenities
We were 6 friends, from different countries. meeting up in Hydra for a week. The landlady was extremely helpful with bed arrangements. The villa was out of the town which we wanted, we may not have wanted the climb home but it made us fitter I am sure. The villa was well laid out and had everything you needed to have an enjoyable stay. Pots, pans, cooking facilities and BBQ if staying in. Washing machine and dishwasher plenty of linen and towels. There was not a single complaint from any of us and I would highly recommend this villa to anyone seeking a week's holiday on paradise.
