Family-friendly holiday rentals in Aghios Emilianos

Panos is a fantastic host, from the fresh figs and delicious orange cake waiting in the fridge for us on our arrival, to organising a local lady to come and do some cooking for us ( a great way to taste really delicious Greek food) to being on the phone when our car broke down and acting as a translator plus lots more. The villa is a real get away from it all location and just 8 mins drive from the local buzz of the local town. It was so good that we just didn’t want to leave. The views are fantastic and better than the photos in real life. There is lots to do around and about ,lovely little beaches, great restaurants and the boat taxi to Spetse is close by as well. I would definitely recommend and would love to come back again.

Thanks again Sue for a lovely peaceful few nights tucked away in Ermioni. The cottage is so sweet, cool and comfortable and contained everything you could possibly need. Sue was extremely helpful when showing us around and always responsive to messages - would definitely recommend as a fantastic holiday spot.

The place was very nice--great location, well stocked, friendly host who was easy to get in touch with. Only one shower was a bit challenging for four people, but everything else was fantastic.

Vaggelis' place was amazing and it included everything that a visitor might need during the stay. Vaggelis himself is a great host, he made sure that the check-in/check-out went smoothly and he gave me all the necessary help to find the house, spend a quality time there and feel like at home. He is very discreet and very pleasant as a person. The location is perfect, a few meters only away from the sea and with a great view from the balcony, also very close to the city of Porto Heli, where you can find restaurants/bars/shops. The place is super clean, both inside the house and outside in the pool/garden area. There is plenty of space for the visitors, with 3 double bedrooms and a lot of common space. A big thanks to Vaggelis that made our stay very pleasant and unique. We will definitely come back.

Beautiful home with scenic outdoor areas. Host is very accommodating and responds quickly if there are any issues. Perfect location for a family vacation.

We had such a wonderful stay, the Airbnb was so beautiful!! Florian was super helpful met us straight off the ferry and guided us to the Airbnb and helped us with local recommendations. The Airbnb was perfect and had such amazing views, would highly recommend.

The house was spacious - the highlight is the veranda with the swimming pool, it's an awesome place to hang out. Mark was a great host, very responsive and accomodating.

It was one of the best villa I have ever seen . Perfect place with huge pool and bbq . Thank you Eleni for everything !!

Thank you so much for your hospitality and for the cozy and amazing apartment Vag was always so communicative and gave us so many tips!! We had a short stay in Hydra but for sure we’ll come back ❤️‍🩹 🤩🙌😊

I truly appreciated all about this place. - Dimitrios is a great host - welcoming and caring - always fast to respond and help. His place felt like home within just few days - easily accessible and withl all needed for a comfortable stay. I loved the proximity of the little church, lovely outdoor space and the interesting neighbourhood. Dimitrios helped me a lot - kindly organising the mule transport and also a boat trip. I definitely recommend Dimitrios' place to all and I will be back soon! Thank you.

Nikolas's house was everything I expected and more.. The location was about a 40 minute walk from the port, Nikolas sent instructions of how best to get taxi for when we arrived, but once we had tested the walk out the next day we decided it would be ok to walk back with our luggage for the return ferry. There was an amazing bakery about 5 minutes walk from the house and a supermarket with just about everything you may need. We were welcomed by Zoe with lemonade and her own olive oil and the fridge was stocked with water - lovely gesture. The house has everything there to enrich your stay and had a lovely personal touch to it. The local area was fairly quiet, beautiful peaceful beaches and quite a few eating places. Delicious breakfast at Odyssey, and evening meals at a couple of the beach front restaurants which were all good. The port area is much busier and has lots of bars, shops etc, but still has a peaceful aura. Beautiful place and I would return in a heartbeat! ❤️

the traditional stone house is a cosy family home with old world charm. We really enjoyed the view over the sea from the terrace and the great walks through the neighbourhood, to the harbour and on the surrounding hillsides. There were very good restaurants, cafes and bakers. Swimming in the sea was perfect. A very relaxing holiday!

We loved our stay in Hydra! The house has the perfect location – it’s very close to everything, but also has an amazing view, all without having to climb flights of stairs. Very tastefully designed with authentic objects, it has everything you need for a relaxing stay – simple, traditional, and full of old-world charm. George was a wonderful host – from helping us with luggage, great recommendations, to conversations and food, we appreciated his attention to detail and hospitality. Hope to be back soon!

Spacious and comfortable home with beautiful sea views and part of the mountain. Even better than the pictures! Nancy was not physically present but showed bcp of responsiveness to the few questions we asked ourselves. Highly recommendable location.

Clean and comfortable house with private garden. We felt good from the first moment. Great communication with Rina.

What a place! We picked Michael and Zia's place for a graduation celebration with three 22 year olds, and one set if senior parents. The home had three ample bedrooms where we all slept comfortably. Interesting artwork filled the house of sketched nudes, painted wood, antique silver, and a great Greek and English library. All tastefully done. We spent most of our time on the giant porch overlooking the sea, playing cards, eating, and lounging. The 30 minute walk into town was not that great due to ATVs and cars, but it was manageable. 86 stairs down to the beach (and back up!) were unavoidable yet also reasonable. It took just seven minutes to walk to Askeli Beach. So easy!! The kitchen was well stocked (sharp knives!) and although at first we thought the two burner/oven contraption would be a bit substandard, it ended up being fine. We cooked many meals for the five of us with no problem. The closest grocery was well stocked and delivers upon request--a handy gesture for bottled water

An amazing villa with beautiful views! The villa was very clean and included just about everything that we needed during our two-week vacation. You can tell that John put a lot of thought into outfitting the villa to meet the needs of his guests. Location was great but you definitely need a car. plenty of great and interesting things to do in the area such as visits to nearby islands, renting boats and exploring the coastline yourself, renting 4x4s or motor scooters and exploring Greek antiquities. Pool was well maintained and we used it every day. Outdoor living areas were terrific and I think I already mentioned the simply amazing views.

Can’t say enough good things about the place and staff! I ended up getting sick but the team fully supported me in finding what I needed to get well. They really make you feel at home here. All the amenities were great, the food was delicious and the location was beautiful. If you’re considering booking here, jump on it!

A truly excellent holiday home: well designed and impeccably maintained with beautiful gardens and outdoor areas. Highly recommended! Also Danai and Mosxoula are very helpful and kind. We'd love to come back 😄

The villa is stunning, the view is worth the price by itself. Very good host and overall and incredible experience. Thanks!

What a blast! Really beautiful place with a relaxing pool. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else when I come to Hydra again. He was very flexible with check in times and did a walkthrough of the property. It was very clean. Thanks for being a great host!

We loved staying here. Walkable to the main town (although quite a steep hill so maybe a consideration if you are older or have reduced mobility) but my 3 and 6 year old managed it fine! Loved the view and general light and airy feel. Having the swimming pool access in the complex was also great. I really recommend this as a base to explore Spetses. Manos was really helpful and when the Nespresso machine didn’t work he had it replaced the next day. Very responsive!

Me and 5 friends (3 couples) recently stayed at Katerina’s place for a week after a busy 2 weeks of travelling. We were looking for a place to relax and it was perfect. The property is stunning- a private sanctuary. There’s also lots to do and see very close by. Katerina and Dimitris were so lovely and welcoming. It was everything we hoped for and more.

Petros and his children went above and beyond To make us feel at home on beautiful Ydra. His restaurant recommendations were right on point and he knows the best beaches. We are already making plans to rebook this outstanding accommodation for next year.
