斐德拉酒店

Hydra’da kaldığımız bu otelin en sevdiğimiz tarafı, gerçekten bir otelden çok daha fazlası gibi hissettirmesiydi. Bina aslında oteli işleten Hilda Hanım’ın ailesine ait bir evmiş ve yaklaşık 21 yıl önce otele dönüştürülmüş. Belki de bu yüzden, güzel bir otel hizmeti alırken aynı zamanda kaldığımız süre boyunca kendimizi evimizde gibi hissettik. Eşimle birlikte balkonlu odada kaldık. Odanın büyüklüğü, manzarası ve özellikle sabah sunulan kahvaltıdan çok memnun kaldık. Hydra’da bence otel seçerken en önemli konulardan biri de konum. Özellikle yaz sıcağında valizlerle adanın yokuşlarını çıkmak hiç kolay değil. Bu açıdan otelin konumu bizim için büyük avantajdı; limana çok yakın, restoranlara, barlara ve mağazalara da rahatlıkla yürüyebiliyorsunuz. Tüm bunların arkasında ise çok belirgin bir kadın dokunuşu var. Hilda Hanım yıllar önce aile evini böylesine sıcak bir otele dönüştürerek gerçekten çok güzel bir iş yapmış ve bugün de işletmenin başında kendisi var. Üstelik Türkçe ana dillerinden biri olduğundan bizim için ayrıca çok hoş bir sürprizdi. Sizi bir otel misafirinden çok bir arkadaş gibi dinliyor, anlıyor ve Hydra’yla ilgili her konuda içtenlikle yönlendiriyor. Biz çok güzel anılarla ayrıldık. Şimdiden önümüzdeki yazı iple çekiyoruz.

This August I stayed at Phaedra Hotel on Hydra island and I enjoyed a wonderful time there. The hotel is an old mansion that has become a very charming small boutique hotel. Kyria Hilda made me feel very welcome upon arrival, and throughout my stay of two weeks. She speaks many languages (among which Perfect French) and every morning we had nice exchanges before I wandered out for my day. I had a very spacious, elegantly furnished room downstairs, which opened onto a small patio full of pots of plants, mostly basil( no mosquitoes!!). The room had an en suite bathroom and a small « kitchen » equipped with a fridge and tea or coffee making facilities. Breakfast was scrumptious and with a different selection of homemade pies ( tiropita and spanakopita…. Etc..), bread, croissant, fresh fruit, a boiled egg, Greek yoghurt and honey, fresh fruit juice…. And the home made jams made me think of my mum’s and grandma’s jams…..they were excellent. The terrace on the first floor is very nice and gives you amazing views of the town. This hotel is a gem, it is situated in a quiet part of the town, close to the harbour and local tavernas. I strongly recommend it. If you have never been to Hydra, Kyria Hilda will recommend things to do and if you are interested, she will tell you a lot about Hydra, and more generally about Greek traditions and customs. Precious!

Lovely stay and host. Great location and you feel like you are in the heart of Hydra, without the crowd.

The hotel was perfect. Ideal location a short, pleasant walk from the port, central and close to everything. Hilda was so helpful and kind. Room was huge and had great AC and a small kitchenette. Bed was comfortable. Beach towels were provided which was appreciated. Can’t wait to return!

A delightful small hotel where we were beautifully looked after by Hilda and Lina. It’s a five minute flat walk from the ferry terminal so very easy for luggage, which is a plus on Hydra. Breakfast is delicious. We had the simple but spacious 2 bedroom apartment with a big terrace. Highly recommended.

Beautiful boutique hotel in Hydra Town. Just blocks from the ferry docks. Small property, only a few rooms, excellent housekeeping. And a homemade breakfast that was huge, varied tremendously from day to day, multiple dishes, and NOT a buffet. From pastries to fruit, eggs, coffee, custard…so glad we opted to eat there instead of going to a restaurant. Fantastic place, would go back in a heartbeat.

Lovely stay at a quaint hotel with a great location! Owner was very helpful and able to give recommendations in area. Breakfast and atmosphere was outstanding. You will not be disappointed.

This is a beautiful hotel on a perfect island. The hotel is charming and has lovely balconies and meeting areas with fresh flowers everywhere. One can hike uphill to the rural villages along paths with wildflowers in abundance. It is an easy downhill walk to shopping, seaside restaurants and beaches. Great breakfast, friendly and helpful owner.

One of the many lovely things about Phaedra hotel is its location. So beautifully placed, it’s an easy walk to the port, and there you have an exceptional choice of food, drink, great shopping but mostly the lively and enchanting village. and proximity to the water. Back at the hotel, the lovely room feels welcoming; terrific aircon which was s huge bonus this last week. Its also, far enough away, in a charming part of Hydra that one can feel involved in the village life… as well as being so very lucky to be able to make Hydra a destination for a marvellous holiday.
