We very much enjoyed our stay at Christos' house. From the first contact he was pleasant, amenable and very easy to communicate with, answering questions efficiently and promptly. The house looks exactly like the photographs and both the interior and exterior spaces are lovely and very well cared for. The various terraces provide shade and views at different times of day and the garden is wonderful. The boat (available at a reasonable extra fee) is an added plus that makes exploring Hydra from the water easy and hassle-free. It is unusual to find such a gem of a house. Many thanks for a perfect stay.

Hydra is truly wonderful, beautiful in every way so for us to stay at the incredible Salt White house was just the icing on the cake!! Christos made everything so simple all through the booking and lead up to the holiday and was there whenever we needed help or advice. The house was beyond our expectations and made for a great home for 9 of us, aged between 12 and old! There was everything you could want whether it was space to relax and watch the sea and boats or get busy in the kitchen, watch a movie in the fabulous living room or snooze for an hour in the lovely bedrooms, the house has it all. It also has swimming in crystal clear sea just steps from the door, restaurants within a minute or two's walk, a little harbour next door or a fantastic walk along the sea edge into Hydra port where it was all going on. We will come back, there are not many things that are perfect but for us this was as close as it gets!!

What an absolute dream experience it was to stay at this beautiful property! So much so in fact that we are already planning our next stay in this very house and couldn't imagine staying anywhere else on the island. Christos is a magnificent host and the property is so well maintained, full of charm, and exudes beauty around every corner. We loved the proximity of the home to both the port and to Kamini. The walk to and from port was peaceful and often involved stopping for a swim at the many swimming spots right by the home. We felt at home from the moment we stepped off the boat and loaded our bags onto donkeys. The sunsets from the outdoor patio are magnificent. There is magic to this house and it will bring joy to whoever has the lucky opportunity to stay under its roof. Thank you Christos and Nopi for making this stay a memorable one. Staying in this house is what it means to experience life on Hydra: fresh food from the garden, terrific sea air and views, charming history within every room that unfolds. We will return many times in the future! <3

Staying at Christos´ Villa Francesca was a truly magic experience for our group of friends coming together from all over the world to spend a week in each others company, in this beautiful house. We couldn´t feel more welcome and Christos made sure that everything was being taken care of and looked after. Wonderfully arranged with a local Hydra touch, the villa is tastefully furnished. Also, several terraces and windows face the amazing sea view. Every breakfast and sunset drink at the terrace was really spectacular. All in all, we all parted with an unforgettable experience and wish to return as soon as possible!

Christos welcomed us himself at the port and took us for a walk to the house while explaining everything we needed to know and showing us around. The house was perfect. Multiple rooms with multiple bathrooms so everyone can have his privacy. Great common spaces to share meals, sunsets, a drink, etc. All modern commodities available (A/C, netflix, modern bathrooms, oven, cuisine, coffee machine, etc) and great extras : diving flippers and goggles, high chair and crib for our toddler, plenty of bottled water already in the house. Christos was also so kind to ask if we wanted some groceries and got them for us, which was really appreciated. Temperature there is always hot and sunny, so no need to look at the forecast! Great restaurants around, within 5-10 minutes walk, and the port is approximately 15 min walk, Kamini literrally 5 min walk. Christos was super helpful to arrange for our transfer from airport to piraeus port and always available. We will consider going back to spend a whole week and enjoy /explore more the island, a well-kept gem!

Hard to put into words how special this home is! Every room is decorated perfectly and all the furniture including the beds are so comfortable. It's like staying in a postcard, the view from every window is a dream. The kindness and hospitality extended from the owner Christos and the caretaker Nopi was so kind we felt like locals by the time we left. The most delicious taverna and perfect place to swim both 10 steps from the front door. All the food on the island was so fresh and delicious. The only decision to make is to walk 10 mins to the port or go by water taxi both extemely enchanting! Thank you Christos & Nopi!!!

Beautiful views, sunny terasses even in winter. Chimney in the kitchen. Comfortable rooms and beds. Very helpful and warm harter host and service by Nopi.

We recently stayed at this lovely old house on Hydra , it is a charming property , simply furnished , nice linens on beds , beautiful outside terraces , three to choose from and well located a ten minute walk from the harbour near Kamini . Christos was a pleasure to deal with from the start and very helpful with everything , Nopi the housekeeper looked after us well and greeted us from the boat with donkeys to take our luggage to the house . We ate many times at To Pefkaki which is 2 minutes walk from the house and for us the nicest place to eat on Hydra . We swam off the rocks just across the path from the house and really enjoyed the views to the sea from every window and eating under the bougainvillea on the terrace . My only criticism would be that it would be nice if more cupboard space was made available for guests and also that the owners personal items were cleared from the bathrooms , but other than this I would highly recommend this property , we had a wonderful time staying there , thank you Christos !

We loved our stay, the views were sublime, the setting idyllic and the interior cool and inviting. Christos could not have been a more attentive host, making useful suggestions and offering insider tips about all aspects of our stay. The house itself was an oasis of calm; rustic but sophisticated and furnished with everything we could possible have needed. Having the boat was fantastic and allowed us to explore every inch of this beautiful island without getting over-heated and footsore and helped us find some wilderness corners to escape to. We'll certainly be back.

Très jolie maison dans une situation exceptionnelle avec vue panoramique sur la baie d'Hydra, avec plusieurs terrasses. L'intérieur bien aménagé et bien équpé est agréable à vivre. Les chambres sont indépendantes, pourvues chacune d.une salle de bain. Le seul bémol, c'est le nombre de marches à monter pour y accéder.

We stayed two weeks in this property and appreciated the overall experience immensely. Starting with the first contact, the owner, Christos, was very helpful in describing and explaining the property, how to get to Hydra, suggesting good addresses for going out to eat, etc. When we arrived we were not at all disappointed with anything - the photos on the site are beautiful but you must see it in person to appreciate how nice it is with the beautiful view and lots of peace and quiet. The house is charming with lots of different spaces indoors and outdoors. But it also has the modern conveniences of air conditioning in the sleeping rooms, good internet connection and satellite TV. The weather was sunny and warm during our entire visit so we spent most of our free time on the covered terrace next to the kitchen - we think about the view all the time! The bedrooms and bathrooms were fine - lots of linens and very comfortable. We spent some time in the living room as well when it was too hot outside - big sofas, nice TV, air conditioning. One of the bathrooms is in the garden which was practical for rinsing off after a visit to the beach. The house is a short walk to the center of Hydra town - we appreciated being a little out of the center since it was much quieter than in town and that was what we were looking for. The closest swimming spot is just below the house, about 1-2 minute walk. But there are many places to jump in the sea all along the coast near Kamini and on the way into Hydra town. The best place we found to eat was actually the closest: To Pefkaki, on the path to Kamini port - only 2 minutes from the house. Great food and very nice hosts. One thing to note is that there are stairs up to the house and inside the house and between the terraces so it is not for people with mobility issues. But this is typical of every aspect of Hydra so I would say the entire island is not really for people with mobility issues. We highly recommend this property and thank Christos once again for a wonderful and memorable vacation on Hydra!
