About this property

Large traditional villa 30 meters from the sea. Stunning sea and sunset views.

Large, holiday villa for maximum 8 people to share in Kamini on Hydra Island Greece. Wonderful sea views with only 20 steps from the level coast road.

You will find Villa Francesca just a short walk from Hydra harbor on the coast road just before Kamini Harbor. 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 bougainvillea trees.

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 bougainvillea 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. There are only 20 steps from the main coast road. The closest beach is at Castello, approximately 300 meters from the house.

The house features a fully equipped kitchen with serious cooks in mind, a Weber bbq and a wood-burning oven. All rooms are fully air-conditioned and 2 of them have ceiling fans. WiFi, a Bluetooth enabled sound system and TVs with Netflix are provided.

Magical
Villa Francesca is a very special property. Beautiful terraces filled with jasmine and wisteria overlook the harbour of Kamini and the master bedroom must have one of the most spectacular views on Hydra. We are regular visitors and this is the best house we’ve rented by far. Is this a ‘super villa’ in the seamless, streamlined design you can find anywhere from Ibiza to Sydney? No, it is far more charming and original. This feels like staying in a friend’s house, with all the benefits of a well stocked kitchen and yet with a calming decorative restraint that is airy and relaxing. The sea is a very short walk away and our sunset swims were truly magical. Nopi, the housekeeper is very discreet and totally trustworthy. When I left a valuable piece of jewellery behind without realising, she immediately made contact and dropped it at my hotel. A fabulous week and very spoiling.

Absolutely stunning property with beautiful views out. Extremely helpful host and housekeeper too.
We were met off the ferry by the housekeeper who arranged for our bags to be taken by donkey to the property and everything else for the stay was made very easy. The property is beautifully set about 15 to 20 minutes walk from Hydra town and is lovely to be in and to look at - decorated simply but with fantastic taste The host, Christos, couldn’t have been more helpful with his suggestions for our visit and we are grateful for a really memorable stay. We will definitely be back.

Just back from the most fantastic week in Hydra staying in the most perfect house!!
Hydra is truly wonderful, beautiful in every way so for us to stay at the incredible Salt White house was just the icing on the cake!! Christos made everything so simple all through the booking and lead up to the holiday and was there whenever we needed help or advice. The house was beyond our expectations and made for a great home for 9 of us, aged between 12 and old! There was everything you could want whether it was space to relax and watch the sea and boats or get busy in the kitchen, watch a movie in the fabulous living room or snooze for an hour in the lovely bedrooms, the house has it all. It also has swimming in crystal clear sea just steps from the door, restaurants within a minute or two's walk, a little harbour next door or a fantastic walk along the sea edge into Hydra port where it was all going on. We will come back, there are not many things that are perfect but for us this was as close as it gets!!

A dream
Such sweet sorrow upon leaving! This has been one of the most fantastic and beautiful and restful time in our entire lives. Villa Francesca is a wonderful home, and gave us more than we ever dreamed. We cooked and walked and cooked and laughed and cooked such magnificent meals with Gypsy jazz on the Marshall bluetooth. And Nopi is a dream herself. We are looking for a property manager for our beach house and we may have to make her an offer! The bonus was the holiday parade portside - with Nopi’s marching grandchildren! We are already plotting our return. Truly, the finest home with the most beautiful vistas of navy blue and turquoise waters imaginable. Did I mention the herbs surrounding us? The orange and lemon and grapefruit and pomegranate trees to plunder every morning? (One part ouzo to one part fresh pomegranate juice to three parts sparkling water, with a fresh slice of green lemon is the perfect apertivo.) The fish bought right off the boat and grilled within minutes. The excellent kitchen with all-clad cookware and sharp knives is the antidote to crappy rental property kitchens. You’re just a minute or two from good tavernas, but who cares with such gorgeous ingredients all around you and a dream kitchen. Peace and thank you. - Ed, Lyn, Claude and Mary

Beautiful idyll close to it all!
Loved staying at the villa! It was the perfect size for our group of 5. A 10-minute walk to town and an even shorter walk to the water. Also Nopi, the housekeeper, is amazing!
