It's a wonderful holiday home for families who want a more simple beach, sun & messing around-in-the-sea type of holiday. But it's only a 20-minute walk, or quick boat ride, into Hydra harbour for those who also want the bright lights of town. There are 2 beaches in Mandraki Bay with taverna dining at 1800 or the Mandraki Beach Resort for gourmet dining. From the level coast road, there is a short flight of 58 steps through the garden of Arbeli House which brings you to the back, top terrace. Here you will find the traditional oven & grill for times when you want to cook out-of-doors and steps that lead up to the roof terrace. Living Space The door into the house leads straight into the open-plan, top floor living room. To the right is the kitchen, dining area & door to the dining terrace, in the centre, there are stairs to the lower floor and to the left of the sitting area there is Bedroom 1 with its ensuite. This is a wonderful, airy space with plenty of light from the sea-facing windows that also catch the gentle sea breeze. And with marble flooring & 80cm thick stone walls, it's deliciously cool. There is plenty of space to dine in, but the view from the dining terrace is so glorious that you will undoubtedly eat alfresco most of the time! Bedroom 1 With its queen-size bed, ensuite including a full-size bath and independent access via a covered side-terrace, bedroom 1 on the top floor is the master bedroom of Arbeli House. The terrace is a perfect place to watch the sunrise or enjoy an evening nightcap. Downstairs Bedrooms The coolest part of the house is downstairs where the back wall of the property is subterranean. Arbeli House was built by one of Hydra's master builders following the tradition of using the advantages of Hydra's terrain to be as environmentally friendly as possible. So following this sensible adaptation you are guaranteed a comfortable and refreshing nights sleep to recharge yourself before another lazy sunfilled day! Bedroom 2 with ensuite shower room Bedrooms 3 & 4 share the family shower room on the lower floor. The shower room also doubles as a utility room with a washing machine for guests to use. There is a door opposite the stairs that opens to the main terrace that overlooks Mandraki Bay. Please note that Arbeli House is not suitable for children under 12years old, as it has low walls and a multiple number of steps. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach towels ### Internet -
