Guest Wing of an aristocratic Neo-Classical style house with exclusive use of pool and garden, and with stunning views the Small Shooting Star is a separate wing of the House of the Shooting Star which has its own independent access and is totally self-contained allowing smaller parties to be able to experience and enjoy the delights of this superb Neo-Classical style house.

From the garden, steps lead up to the main entrance of Small Shooting Star.  Hewn from the granite of Hydra's mountains, the living room is a cool oasis providing comfortable couches in the sitting area with an abundance of cushions making this an excellent spot for a siesta or for curling up with a good book.  For extra guests, these traditional in-built couches provide very comfortable sleeping accommodation.  Off the living room is a well appointed guest bathroom with shower. There is also a very well equipped kitchen, breakfast serving bar and dining area with the outdoor dining terrace close by.

An inner hallway has access to a bathroom with bath and shower as well as 2 spacious double/twin bedrooms.

Small Shooting Star is beautifully furnished throughout with stylishly chosen antique furniture, paintings, objets d’art and a large library of books. The property is surrounded by an unusually large and beautifully planted garden on the lower terrace offering shade and respite from the mid-summer sun with plenty of places to relax with the private pool close by for a refreshing dip. The views over the amphitheatre of Hydra and across the bay to the island of Dokos are truly memorable.

Hydra harbour with its array of waterfront tavernas, cafes and shops is about a 15 minute walk away.  The sparkling bays and coves of Hydra are one of the few places where you will see dolphin and porpoise regularly.  The nearest beaches to the property are about a 15 min walk away.  There are some wonderful sandy beaches on Dokos Island opposite, on the far side of Hydra and on the Peloponnese coast opposite - all easily accessible by water taxi from Hydra harbour.

Small Shooting Star is ideal for a family or smaller group of friends who would love to experience the beautiful island of Hydra in authentic surroundings at a reasonable cost.  It is possible to rent Small Shooting Star by itself and with exclusive use of pool and gardens in all months except July and August.

Roel Van D. arrived 5th July 2014

Booking went very smooth and I was very pleased with the responsiveness. Also, all taxi-drivers, donkey men, water taxis, etc were always on time and our return trip went very smoothly

Peloponnese trip:
Nice day out. Mycenae, Epidaurus and Nafplio are nice places to visit.

Athens trip & tour (Key Tours):
Professional & organized tour with a professional guide pick-up at the hotel at 8.10, tour started at 9.00 am and finished around 1.30 pm. Tour started with a 1 hour drive through the city with visits to Syntagma square and the old Olympic Stadium. The remainder of the morning was dedicated to the Acropolis and the Acropolis museum.

Small Shooting Star:
Very nice location (it is a bit of a walk/climb from the port, but we knew that and had no problem with that), with beautiful views from the pool and the veranda. We actually spent most of our time at the Veranda. Janetta did a good job coming every other day to clean the house and empty the garbage cans.
We enjoyed our stay in Hydra. it is a lovely island with some very nice spots. The Shooting Star is a very nice building.
I would like to commend you and pretty greek villas in general for the responsiveness to all our requests and the customer focus you have demonstrated. It is very well appreciated!

Regards,
Roel
 

 

Sophie P. arrived 9th June 2013

I actually meant to email anyway to say a big thank you, we had the
most lovely time and everyone at Pretty Greek Villas was so helpful.
Janet the housekeeper was brilliant.
I have already been recommending the villa to friends and look forward to another holiday with you in the future.

All the best,
Sophie
