Pretty 3 bedroom house in Hydra town close to the port, no steps, pvt courtyard

The Courtyard House is an 18th-century stone house in a peaceful but central part of Hydra town. It has the rare advantage of being only a 3 min walk (without steps) from the lovely harbour where all the cafes and shops are.
The house has a large secluded courtyard with a lemon tree. This pretty courtyard is surrounded by wisteria and jasmine, an ideal place for a tranquil breakfast.
With 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (1 with a bath tub, 2 with showers), the house comfortably sleeps six. However, there is also a sofa bed in one of the sitting rooms for 2 extra guests. Travel cot also available.
Decorated in a traditional style, the house has kept its original character, while at the same time has all the comforts of clean, modern living. The kitchen and bathrooms have been renovated. There are 2 living rooms, a large kitchen, a master bedroom and bathroom and 2 guest bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. All the rooms have lovely high wooden ceilings and wooden floorboards.


More about the house: On the first floor, the master bedroom has a double bed and a single bed and use of the main bathroom with bath tub. The master bedroom opens out onto a pretty secluded terrace where one can have quiet cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine surrounded by the smell of jasmine.

The other large bedroom on this level has a double bed and its own balcony. It also has its own en suite bathroom.

The third bedroom is on the ground floor. It has a double bed and a small single bed and it also has an en suite bathroom.

The kitchen is large with a family breakfast table and is fully equipped with a toaster, kettle, oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, cutlery and crockery, etc.

Some of the comforts of the Courtyard House include: a DVD player, TV-with NETFLIX and Amazon Prime, a fully-equipped kitchen, a dishwasher, a washing machine, air-conditioning, proximity to the harbour and weekly maid service.

And finally : Hydra is a treasured getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. The Courtyard House is a safe haven for little ones, as is Hydra itself. It is a very easy picturesque walk to the harbour without any steps and the lack of cars and mopeds make Hydra an ideal destination.

Visitors to the house will be met at the port and shown to the house. Although you will have complete privacy during your stay, assistance or advice will only be a phone call away.

We stock the house with an initial supply of bottled water, juice, milk, coffee and tea upon arrival- there is a supermarket just 2 minutes walk from the house. We also provide a weekly maid service as part of the rental fee. More frequent service can be organised for an additional fee.

Hydra Family holiday
We had a wonderful but too short time in Hydra. The house was wonderful. Fit our family of 5 well with space to spare. Beautiful location. The owners were super responsive to all questions and made us feel at home. Really…could not have gone better.

Cannot wait to return!
Perfect home rental! The accommodations were LOVELY! The kitchen had all of the utensils that one could wish for! The lovely courtyard and comfortable furniture made us look forward to coming home each day after exploring and eating baklava. The location was a nice distance from the port. It wasn't too close to the port, so it was quieter, but it was close enough to go out as may times as we wanted. (For an evening crepe or gelato or a sip of Mastiha!). Plus a LOVELY grocery store is very close by. It truly felt like home and we cannot wait to return!

Stop looking- this is the one!
This place is great. We loved it. Our favorite place to stay in Greece. Clean! Location is awesome. Main townhouse just steps from port- cutely decorated and comfortable beds. Great communication and welcome. A couple minor quirks due to island living (e.g turn off ac while using heater). Lots of space for all. There were 5 of us ( 3 kids in 20’s). Host left us juice and bottle of wine. Tracy met us off ferry. She was super nice and responsive. I will def recommend others and will book this next time I come to lovely Hydra

True to billing
The house is just as advertised. Pretty, well equipped and furnished, great location, although donkey and luggage cart carriers don't recognize "Courtyard House" or "Oinkanos" for location. Had to resort to "Near Hotel Leto". Adonious, the gardener, was hugely helpful in this regard. Cleaning service very good and friendly. Courtyard is charming and fragrant. Beds comfortable. Could use some waste bins in bedrooms and sitting room and I recommend providing black or dark colored wash cloths so makeup doesn't get on white towels. Loved it so much we booked for next year already.

Hydra First Visit
We travel from the US to Symi every summer to stay in our family home and try to visit another island as well, this was our first time on Hydra and staying in The Courtyard House made us feel at home. The blue floor caught our eye when reviewing properties and the house is just as nice in person. Excellent location and very comfortable.

We enjoyed our time in this comfortable house with a beautiful courtyard and terrace. Quiet and private but a short walk to all the shops and restaurants.

Best Vacation Ever
You know how it is: you look at all the pictures, you study the reviews, but still you have this nagging fear that when you get there the house that seemed so perfect won't be perfect at all. The Courtyard House on Hydra was just the opposite. It was exactly as advertised, and what was advertised was perfect for our group of six travelers: one bedroom and one bathroom for each couple in a spacious, immaculate, charming, comfortable, and beautiful house. We actually added one more couple, as my daughter and son-in-law decided to join the group at the last minute, and our host encouraged us to make up the hide-a-bed in the second sitting room and laid out bed linens to make it easy. As for Hydra itself, we couldn't have found a more perfect place for a restful, peaceful everything-at-our-fingertips vacation. Need a cup of coffee and a Greek pastry in the morning? Just stroll down to Flora's bakery. Need a little adventure in your life? Hike to the top of Mount Eros, the island's highest point. Need to cool off afterward? Plunge into the cool, clear waters of the Saronic Gulf from the rocks at Spilia. Need a nice place for dinner? Just follow your nose as you walk toward the harbor in the evening. As we were leaving at the end of the week my brother, with whom I have traveled widely and frequently, said, "This has been our best vacation ever." A huge compliment to the island of Hydra, to the Courtyard House, and to our host, who made sure everything was perfect. Can't wait to come back!

The Courtyard House was beautiful and ideal for our trip to Hydra! It is spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped and large enough to entertain family and friends who had traveled to join us for our sons wedding. Carl, the owner,was generous and easy to communicate with making the reservations and Tracy was quick getting us help with air conditioning. Wish we could have stayed longer!
