Bellevalia Hydra in Idra 180 40.
Built in 1921, Bellevalia Hydra occupies a restored stone mansion that once served as a private residence for a wealthy Athenian family.
The painstaking restoration honors the original architecture while introducing modern amenities, preserving the building's Cycladic character and period details.
Set on the car-free island of Hydra, this hotel venue offers an authentic Greek island experience without compromise.
We came to Four Seasons to use the day access to the beach which was really worth it. The location is excellent and the beach service is great. Sun-loungers are very comfortable and facilities are clean. We had lunch at their restaurant, the food was average. Great prawns saganaki, Greek salad was missing some olive oil and flavour for our taste, potatoes were a bit soggy and meatballs very dry. Despite, they had an amazing cappucino Freddo and home-made lemonade. Would have loved to try their fresh fish from local fisherman next time! Would come back for the experience.
