"Really excellent choice. Staff were really helpful, the room was good and the location was perfect. Near enough to everything but far enough away to be peaceful. The only criticism was that the wifi was weak and it took forever to send emails, don’t think about downloading anything."

"I didn't stay at the hotel but I walked, in the heat, from Vlychos Beach, it took about 15 minutes. It was 12.30pm - I wanted to sit in the outdoor restaurant by the sea for a drink...I was told I couldn't sit at the tables that were set for lunch, even though there were no customers in the restaurant at the time - I was offered to sit in the reception area but I preferred to sit outside near the sea...the head waiter eventually allowed me to sit at the back at an unset table. I was made to feel very unwelcome, if it wasn't so hot I wouldn't have stayed! Not the service I would expect from Four Seasons!"

"The hotel is particularly beautiful, quiet, no room number, each room is distinguished by a Greek goddess. The room is particularly exquisite, and the mountain opposite the hotel is a school, especially warm."

"Due to confusion between two hotels with very similar names under the same ownership, we were not informed that we had arrived at a different property douskos guest house, than the one we originally booked (douskos port), and prepaid. As a result, we were charged for both the hotel we stayed in and the more expensive hotel we had initially booked but did not stay in. The hotel later issued a €100 voucher as compensation for the overcharge, but refused to honor it when we tried to use it due to expiry. Very disappointing handling of a clear billing error and lack of proper resolution."

"This is a little piece of heaven. Small, boutique and very welcoming. The food was very good and the sheltered beds sit right in the tiny cove with the crystal water lapping at your toes. The dining area is the best appointed sunset viewing station ever."

"Terrific stay. Located near port and all the restaurants but on a quiet street. The owner/manager is delightful and very helpful in terms of suggestions and making dinner reservations for us. We had a large first floor suite and it was very comfortable and well appointed. Breakfast was excellent - great variety and sitting in a nice outdoor patio. Great views from the outdoor veranda as well. Highly recommend."

"This hotel is a wonderful new addition to the Hydra hotel scene. The restoration they did of a historic building near the port is exquisite. Rooms are spacious, filled with antiques, and beautifully decorated. The rooms are equipped with all the modern amenities you could ask for - double vanities, luxurious showers with fabulous water pressure, fluffy duvets, Nespresso machines, and abundant storage. The location is ideal, just steps from the port. No schlepping up and down steep hills needed. The panoramic views over the town of Hydra from some of the rooms and the terraces are stunning. Additionally the staff couldn't be lovelier. They meet you at your ferry to assist you with your luggage (even though it is super close to the port, there are a few flights of stairs involved in getting up to the hotel). They greet you warmly every time you come and go. They are eager to assist with any request you may have. Unfortunately there is no gym or pool. This is somewhat to be expected from a small hotel like this (just 9 rooms), however. The truth however is that this really should have been a four star review based on one factor - the food and beverage program. I just didn't want to ding them publicly given how new they are, and how great the hotel's potential is. I have two suggestions for them to address this: First, please do something about the lack of breakfast. I realize there is no kitchen, and the hotel is tiny, so doing a full breakfast would be a big ask. But I suggest that you put fresh fruit and a few pastries out every morning at the coffee station. The fruit that is there currently is basically rotten and inedible. All you need to do is make sure that it is fresh and additionally put out a box of croissants for people to help themselves to. Given the large lunches and dinners everyone is having in Hydra, a croissant and a piece of fruit is all most people really need, and it would make an enormous difference. If people want a more elaborate breakfast, then they could go to the cafe nearby as they need to do today. Second, please do something about the evening bar service. Today there is a drinks menu out, however all the spirits are kept in a locked cabinet, and there is no attendant to actually make the drinks for you. It's a very frustrating situation! I think there is an easy solution here that I have seen done at several other small boutique hotels. Please just put out an honor bar instead. You wouldn't need an attendant here. People could help themselves to spirits and wine, and then would need to mark down on a sheet of paper their room number and the drinks they took. Given the clientele of this hotel, I don't think you would have a big problem of fraud. In fact, it could become a new revenue stream for the hotel. But overall we had an amazing stay. If you would just rectify these two things, it would have been perfect!"

"EXCEPTIONALLY BEAUTIFUL STAY IN HYDRA. I had such a wonderful stay at this Villa! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by how spotlessly clean and well-maintained everything was. The rooms and common areas were immaculate, and you could really tell that cleanliness is a priority here. The lady that takes care of this property Anna was absolutely fantastic - so friendly, welcoming, and polite. Everyone I interacted with was kind, helpful, and genuinely happy to assist. It made the entire stay feel comfortable and enjoyable. The owner of this beautiful cozy villa was Welcoming and very informative you can tell he takes great pride of his villa and he is eager to share with you detail explanation of Hydra. The location was also absolutely fabulous - convenient, beautiful, and a perfect base for exploring the area. Very close to port shops and lots of Tavernas, I couldn't have asked for a better location. Overall, this villa exceeded my expectations. Clean, friendly, welcoming, and in a fantastic location. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful place to stay! Thank you Panagioti for allowing me to stay in your little paradise island of Hydra where the donkeys are the king. ...."

"We stayed in the Garden Suite. The Suite was of perfect size with perfect amenities. However, the breakfast served at the main hotel was below average. This was our sixth year in Hydra and we are very familiar with pricing. Given its rather further location, pricing is on the high side. The garden was nice however there was cat piss smell in the garden. Although I am a cat lover, I d rather not have this smell having paid over 400 eur / night."
