THE STONE HOUSE

The Stone House is a lovingly-restored 18th-century aristocratic mansion set atop a hillside immediately overlooking the breathtaking, historic Hydra harbor. A hand-hewn stone wall encloses the main house, a guest cottage, and a series of private gardens and terraces, all with fabulous views to the sea, village and mountains.

Decorated with original artwork and carefully furnished with antiques and cozy chairs, this private compound sleeps seven and is perfect for a couple's romantic getaway or a family's summer vacation.

Interior Details

With three bedrooms and two and a half baths, the property comfortably sleeps seven (in 3 double beds and a twin), or eight if you request our baby crib. The main residence comprises a living room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom and bathroom, and guest bedroom and bathroom.

The sweeping master suite of fabulous high-ceiling proportions contains a writing desk, reading chairs, and a completely renovated ensuite bathroom, including a bathtub. A private balcony hangs in the sky, perfect for sipping an evening glass of wine. They offer exquisite views in all directions, as do the courtyard, gardens and terrace.

The house is equipped with all the implements for entertaining – and both the indoor and two outdoor marble dining tables seat 6 to 8 each.

The guest cottage has a charming brass bed and beautiful corner fireplace. A half-bath lies just steps away. 

Some of the Stone House amenities include: wireless internet access, iPod speaker dock, washer and dryer, three fireplaces and weekly maid service.

Exterior Details

The hand-hewn stone wall surrounding the property encloses the main house, the guest cottage, and a series of terraces and gardens.

The internal courtyard and upper terrace (on top of the guest cottage) each have marble dining tables and spectacular one-of-a-kind views that span the sea, the port, and the inland mountains.There’s also an outdoor shower under a scarlet bougainvillea.

Location

The hillside where the property is located is incredibly peaceful, and the compound is very private, but within minutes you can be shopping or clubbing in the village, or swimming in the nearby azure swimming coves.

A short walk down one set of the island's many cobblestone staircases places you in the heart of the port. A path through a pine grove brings you to swimming areas and coastal walking paths.

Please bear in mind that visitors to Hydra are required to climb stairs, so the Stone House is not suitable for anyone unable to do so.
