Guest reviews
Fabulous
Relaxing, easy and enjoyable
Liked: Charming and well located
Disliked: All good - more pillows perhaps but that’s just me
Liked: The location.
Disliked: It was old. Needed more comfortable seating. Tiny kitchen, broken windows and it smelt musty
Liked: Lovely owner who waited for us at the port to lead us to the property. Everything was clean, comfortable, and lovely.
Disliked: This is very hard, but if I HAD to say, it would be that you can reach the property by stairs, so if anyone is disabled, it could be hard (but that is most of Europe after all!)
We did not enjoy our stay
Liked: Location and views were great.
Disliked: It is old, run down, tatty and needs a serious deep clean. One glass window has a crack and an unfitting very long curtain drags on the floor. The bathroom has chipped old wooden furniture, the towels are discoloured and worn. In the main bedroom there is a wall to wall carpet installed sloppily and left unfinished, it has a few stains too. The bed covers have the smell of an old unaired cupboard.
Liked: The location is fantastic and the staff were very kind and helpful. It has everything you need and more.
A Magical Stay at Danaë Port House in Hydra
Liked: From the moment Dana greeted us at the port, we knew we were in for something special. Alongside her partner Gunnar both fascinating individuals with incredible life experiences and a deep love for Hydra, we felt instantly welcomed and cared for. Their warmth and local insight added a personal touch that elevated our entire experience. We stayed in a 400-year-old multi level building that radiates authentic charm of Hydra houses while offering all the modern comforts one could hope for. The interiors are thoughtfully restored, preserving the soul of the house with original and traditional finishes, yet equipped with air conditioning, a kitchenette, and bathroom. Each morning was a dream, sunlight streaming through our bedroom windows, casting a golden glow over Hydra town rooftops and the masts of boats gently swaying in the harbor below. It was like waking up inside a painting. Hydra has many highlights you’ll fall in love with from the port with it’s horseshoe shaped harbor filled with fishing boats, and expensive yachts lined with vibrant cafés, and bougainvillea-draped alleys, shops, restaurants, and streets lined with stone mansions. Going for walks and getting lost amongst the many stone lined streets is an experience in itself, where every corner treats you with an unexpected surprise. And to cap it off, the islands car-free policy adds to the island’s peaceful charm where donkeys and water taxis are the main modes of transport. Hydra is a gem of the Greek Islands and the central location and charm of our Danaë Port House made our stay a beautiful experience that we will never forget.
Disliked: Hydra houses are built up the mountain and the steps to reach certain destinations can be taxing for the elderly.
