Full Description

Highly recommended, large, holiday villa to rent for maximum 8 people to share for holidays in Kamini on Hydra Island Greece. Wonderful sea views with only 20 steps from the level coast road. Deluxe holiday house rentals on Hydra presented by HydraDirect. (From personal experience, I can confirm that the grapefruit, freshly picked from the tree and eaten still warm from the sun, are ... divine ... regards Kelsey.)


You will find Villa Francesca just a short walk from Hydra harbour on the coast road just before Kamini Harbour. This traditional house facing the sea was built in the 1950s and was fully restored recently. It measures 200 sq.m. and is set in a beautiful Mediterranean garden of citrus, olive, cypress and bougainvillaea trees. Villa Francesca is available to sleep a maximum of 8 guests for a minimum of 3 nights (minimum 7 nights in high season).


The house configuration includes three bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, one large living room with a fireplace, a sleeping alcove ideal for children, and a large kitchen with a dining area and a fireplace. Three separate terraces complement the living spaces of the house: just outside the kitchen, a large bougainvillaea shaded terrace with a dining table for 12, next to bedroom 2 a jasmine/wisteria shaded terrace with a hammock and next to the living room an uncovered terrace with breathtaking views! Every room of the house faces west and enjoys an unobstructed view of the sunset, sea and the islands of Dokos and Spetses.


Only 500 meters from the port of Hydra and 200 meters from the port of Kamini the house combines the perfect quiet whilst having easy access to the best restaurants and beaches of the island.
