The cottage is located in the picturesque and secluded village of Plakes. The doors open on to one of the many hiking paths in Hydra. The deck is where we spent most of our time with a glass of wine and a spectacular sunset. A stone’s throw away was Tassina’s Tavern which is part of the Bellavia hotel. The food was excellent. If you meander ten minutes along the path you’ll find the village of Vlychos with more restaurants. We preferred Enalion. Both places have excellent beaches. The kitchen in the cottage was fully equipped for self catering if that’s what interests you. Hydra town was a breathtaking 30 minute walk away with gorgeous views. If you’re not a walker, small ferry taxis can take you to and from hourly or you can even book a private water taxi. We appreciated the calm of the cottage.

We were happy with the cottage.

Love that it was quiet and away from the town. Beautiful view from the terrasse

Nellys coastal home was fantastic, the home was very clean and neat with an incredible view of the ocean and the mountains. It had all we needed to cook some light meals at home or whip up a greek frappe. We just loved the location outside the port and the sunsets were out of this world.

Nothing

The place can be summed up as being perfectly Zen, complete with modest luxury. To start with, the large terrace overlooking small islands and the mainland was a wonderful place to see magical sunsets. Paired with a quaint pebble beach, this was the backdrop for an incredible island hideaway.
