“The Good: The property is stunning—from the museum-like display cases to the peaceful garden terrace. The morning cappuccino was incredible, and the yogurt, fruit, and tea were high quality.
The Bad: The service was low-effort, rigid, and surprisingly aggressive.
Hostile Check-In: We were forced into an unannounced credit card hold. When we questioned it, the manager was screaming at us over the phone in a very harsh, disrespectful manner.
We asked for a second key card- we never saw Angie……
“The hotel was absolutely perfect. Perfectly located (6/8 minutes from the harbour on foot, without stairs).
The room was lovely and the breakfast excellent.
I will surely come back :).
Thanks to Andreas and his team.”
“The room was immaculate, considering how historic the building is. The attention to detail is top notch. If there is ANY dust, high or low, my wife will find it, and there was none. The bathroom spotless. Staff was helpful with recommendations, and attentive to our needs. Perfect location right in the middle of Ύδρα. While there isn’t a pool, no problem. Just a 5-10 minute walk to the natural pool behind Spilia Beach Bar in the sea. Get there before 9am for the most refreshing swim and……
“We love this hotel. Quiet and peaceful. Breakfast is great. Staff are great. The room was big enough for 2 adult and 1 kid. Balcony view was the best. We would highly recommend anyone to stay for a great and relaxing trip.

“Lovely villa with sea views and an amazing infinity pool with big comfy sun loungers.
The manager & staff were friendly & helpful.
You need a car, it’s a perfect location for going to Hydra for the day.”
“As others have said the stairs were a killer - but it was so worth it for the amazing views (from two terraces). The property was huge and with loads of interesting features (including a canon and seagulls hanging from the ceiling). It was a fabulous place to just ‘be’ and spend time relaxing. There were a few bits in need to repair (including one of the banisters, which was very wobbly) but that’s a minor quibble in an otherwise lovely stay.”
“I was honestly disappointed with this hotel. In my opinion, it does not deserve a 4-star rating. I paid extra for a room with a terrace, and I have to say the terrace and the sea view were beautiful—that was definitely the best part of the stay.
Unfortunately, the room itself was very outdated. The walls were old and even swollen in some areas, giving the impression that they hadn’t been properly maintained for years. The mattress was clearly worn out, and the sheets looked as if they had……
“I stayed here for a week with my 9 year old daughter and it was an excellent base for exploring the local area. 5 minutes taxi to the local town (Galatas) and from there it’s a few minutes boat over to Poros island. Very friendly staff and owner, nice pool, good food and cocktails.”
“We had the absolute privilege of staying at Bellevalia Hydra, and it exceeded every expectation. The location is simply breathtaking, the rooms are beautifully designed, the views are spectacular, and the food is exceptional.
What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is its incredible staff. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every member of staff went above and beyond to make our stay genuinely unforgettable.
It’s almost……
