Our Service

The Stone House is owned and tended by a family who has been spending time on Hydra for the past four decades. Visitors to the Stone House will enjoy the special privilege of being received at the port by Alexis, our on-island concierge and Hydra resident. She will introduce you to the house and share with you her knowledge of the sights and secrets of Hydra. Although you will have complete privacy during your stay, assistance or advice will only be a phone call away. Our aim is to make you as comfortable as we can, while also granting you access to real Greek island life.

As your hosts, we are eager to serve the individual needs of our guests and make you feel at home. To that end, we stock the house with Korres natural bath products, filtered drinking water, wine, beer, soda, coffee, tea, fresh fruit, cheese and bread upon arrival. Firewood is also provided during the colder seasons. We are happy to organize any additional provisions you may need; those requests are typically handled at the time of booking. We provide weekly maid service as part of the rental fee. More frequent service can be organized for an additional fee.

Please bear in mind that visitors to Hydra are required to climb stairs, so the Stone House is not suitable for anyone unable to do so. Typically, Olive and Stone arranges for donkeys to transport visitors' luggage from the port to the property – a truly unique Hydra experience! Donkeys can also be hired to transport groceries and supplies from the village to the house. Payment for donkey services is the responsibility of the guest.
