We had the absolute privilege of staying at Bellevalia Hydra, and it exceeded every expectation. The location is simply breathtaking, the rooms are beautifully designed, the views are spectacular, and the food is exceptional. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is its incredible staff. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed like family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every member of staff went above and beyond to make our stay genuinely unforgettable. It’s almost impossible to single people out because every single person was outstanding, but a special thank you must go to Anna, who went out of her way to make our stay extra special. Stephanous and his wonderful restaurant team, Sergio and Christos, delivered such incredible food and warm hospitality that we didn’t want to dine anywhere else on the island. Thank you also to Renata at reception, Anthony and Paulos at the bar, Alessio, who found us the perfect spot on the beach every day, and Jacob, our friendly water taxi guide, whose warm welcome always put a smile on our faces. Bellevalia Hydra is so much more than a beautiful hotel, it’s a place where genuine hospitality makes you feel completely at home. We leave with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (480 reviews)

From the moment you arrive, it’s clear this is a truly exceptional hotel. Set in a stunning location overlooking the Temple of Poseidon, the views are breathtaking and create the perfect setting for a luxurious stay. The service is outstanding from start to finish. We were warmly welcomed by friendly staff, while the chauffeur service took care of our car and luggage. Check-in was effortless, with a refreshing cold towel, welcome drink and treats making it a relaxing experience. We were then escorted by buggy to our suite, which was modern, beautifully designed, impeccably clean and finished to an exceptionally high standard. The staff throughout the hotel could not have been friendlier or more helpful. Every interaction felt genuine, and nothing was too much trouble. The restaurants are beautiful, with several excellent dining options, and the food was consistently of a very high standard. The pool area is lovely and provides a great place to relax, although a few extra sunbeds would be welcome. Pool service is good, but it would be even better if guests could order drinks and food directly through the hotel’s app instead of waiting for staff to come round. Food and drink prices are what you would expect from a luxury five-star hotel—certainly not cheap, but in keeping with the quality on offer. Overall, this is a fantastic hotel that delivers everything you would expect from a true five-star experience. I would happily return and highly recommend it.
