Beautiful hotel in the heart of Hydra. Used to be a sponge factory in the early 1900, it has maintained the original features and the details of the whole property are just beautiful. Breakfast is excellent as well

The perfect retreat to spend a blissful 3 days on Ydra. Location was excellent and having time to relax around the private pool was invaluable.
All the staff were so friendly and helpful.
We went as a group of 7 friends and all said we'd love to return

What a beautiful little hotel! Our room was lovely, comfortable and quiet. The pool area is very pretty. While we were visiting, the jasmine, which surrounds the dining and pool area, was blooming. The whole area smelled so wonderful! The staff is very friendly and helpful. The hotel is just steps from the waterfront on a quiet side street. We had a lovely visit. I would definitely stay again.

What an amazing hotel!! The staff are all so lovely and can’t do enough during your stay. The breakfast is so delicious. Don’t make the mistake we made, and save dinner at the restaurant for the last night, because the food is extraordinary!!
The location is ideal for walks along the harbour and all the major walking routes.
The only minor thing I would change is heating the pool - but not a huge issue.

We had a standard room so recommend a different room if you ate 80+ or if disabled. The bathroom is on lower level, with steep stone stairs to the upper floor (bedroom), feels a bit like a loft. And there are no hand rails. However, the room was spacious and it is an old lovely building. The gardens are quiet with a very nice pool and area in which to laze/rest/read. The breakfast was great, lots to choose from. Location was a short walk from ferry drop off - no need for donkey/cart to carry your luggage, you can walk it.

A delightful oasis
We loved our stay at the Bratsera and even extended it from one night to two, changing rooms in the process. The rooms, common areas, pool and checkin were lovely, as were the staff. Breakfast was a high point and we really appreciated coming back to a dip in the pool after a day wandering Hydra or at the beach.
