A glorious historical mansion in the port of Hydra is the setting for this quiet and charming little hotel.
It was built around 1820 to house the staff of a local shipping company and later became the island’s school building. Today, the old classrooms are fresh-looking high-ceilinged guestrooms, and the courtyard where the schoolchildren used to play is a peaceful spot to have your breakfast or just enjoy the quiet with a drink.
There are eight rooms in all, done in a fresh modern style that combines beautifully with the old features of the house. Walls, wooden floors and ceilings are painted in soft hues; sofa’s, plenty of pillows and art on the walls add colour; bathrooms are modern and efficient, and, most importantly, beds are superbly comfortable.
One of the ground-floor suites still has the original marble-tiled floors and the old well. The nicest three rooms are on the first floor and have a full view over the port and the sea.
Young and friendly Katerina Nikolaidou manages Hydra Hotel single-handedly; her charm matches that of the hotel.
