Miranda Hotel | Best places to stay in Hydra

"A well-preserved sea captain’s mansion built in 1810, Miranda epitomises the old-fashioned charm and quiet glamour of Hydra. Understated and discreet, the family-run guesthouse opened in 1961 and retains the dignified aura of a bygone era. The 14 rooms and apartments are decorated with original antiques, painted ceilings, and vintage prints. Some have verandas facing the sea, others overlook the secret, jasmine-scented garden where breakfast is served (for an extra charge). The location, on a quiet piazza in the heart of Hydra’s stunning, car-free town, is both quiet and convenient. It’s a 3-minute walk to the waterfront cafes and shops. " - Rachel Howard
