This is a lovingly restored powerful merchant’s house from 1803 overlooking the port and the main town. They’ve done it in a style that is at once grand and contemporary shabby chic. Great details, elegant, but comfortable.
They only have eight rooms, so it felt like my own decadent Hydra home. The great vibe is reinforced by the staff, not least by the manager, Thanos, who radiates charm and conviviality.
Breakfast is a delightful, authentic experience. You feel every minute that you are in Greece, and in a world of sameness and international standard fare, this is really welcome.
