Villa Helios is an upscale property, ideal for up to four couples or for an extended family. Walled for privacy (there is virtually no crime on the island), its many terraces abound in bougainvillea, jasmine, oleander and plumbago. Imagine a multi-terraced garden, as well as a large vine-covered terrace overlooking the port and the sea; this will be your centre of activities. A perfect spot to enjoy an evening drink while watching the sun set over the distant islands.
You can also sit around the pool or on a small ideal-for-breakfast terrace, or choose another one for getting-away-from-the-crowd, to read, doze and sun yourself. It is located on one of Hydra's highest hillside streets, above the sheltered Bay of Hydra. The views from Villa Helios are spectacular - every room overlooks the whitewashed houses, the waterfront - alive with fishing boats and elegant yachts, - and beyond the Saronic Gulf, the neighbouring Peloponnese. The property has two comfortably furnished buildings: one contains a sitting room, dining room, well-equipped kitchen, and a mezzanine study; in the other, there are four double bedrooms (two with double beds, and two with twin-beds). All the terraces have a picture postcard view. There are three bathrooms, one with an outside shower.
The caretaker looks after the pool and the garden; there is a change of linen mid-week. Transformers for shavers, etc. are in the bathrooms. The villa's kitchen equipment will keep the gourmet cook in you more than happy - you can cook at your leisure or eat out at many of the wonderful restaurants within walking distance of the villa. On arrival, you and your party will be met at the port and donkeys will be there to carry up your luggage, and everyone else, if you like! Donkeys provide the only taxis on the island. The steps and terracing at the villa are unfriendly for toddlers or for people with arthritis or other mobility limitations.
