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.

Superbe semaine. Appartement extrêmement bien situé. Un léger bruit le soir (place dans une rue festive), mais le double vitrage fait son travail. Ça ne nous a pas gêné. La Petite Terrasse est très sympathique et utile. Une seule salle de bain - colle annoncé- et qui mériterait peut être une mise à jour, mais on est dans les détails….

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.

Η βιλα του Mark εχει καταπληκτική θεα, εξαιρετικα λειτουργικους χωρους (εξωτερκους και εσωτερικους) και ιδιωτικοτητα. Ο Mark ειναι φιλικος και εξυπηρετικος σε οτι χρειαστείς.

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.

Εξαιρετική επιλογή για διαμονή στον Πόρο. Το κατάλυμα ήταν σε ιδανική , ήσυχη τοποθεσία ,πεντακάθαρο και ήταν ακριβώς όπως στην περιγραφή της καταχώρησης. Ο Νικόλας και η μητέρα του ήταν απολύτως επικοινωνιακοί και πρόθυμοι να συνδράμουν σε οτιδήποτε χρειαστήκαμε με συμβουλές και κατατοπιστικές πληροφορίες. Με την άφιξή μας είχαν προνοήσει για κρύα εμφιαλωμένα νερά και παγάκια στο ψυγείο ,καθώς και μια ποιοτική σπιτική λεμονάδα για να φρεσκαριστούμε. Επίσης μας έδωσαν την ευκαιρία της ευέλικτης αναχώρησης και γενικά ήταν από τους οικοδεσπότες που τιμούνε τη φιλοξενία και σε κάνουν να αισθάνεσαι σαν να βρίσκεσαι σε οικείο χώρο. Η οργανωμένη παραλία ήταν στα 50 μέτρα απόσταση και δίπλα υπάρχει σούπερ μάρκετ και φούρνος για τις αγορές τελευταίας στιγμής. Στα υπέρ του χώρου το ιδιωτικό ασφαλές πάρκινγκ και η απίστευτη θέα από τις δύο βεράντες. Γενικά θα πρότεινα στους δυνητικά υποψήφιους μελλοντικούς ενοικιαστές να μην χάνουν το χρόνο τους αναζητώντας που θα μείνουν στο νησί......

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!

Logement spacieux et confortable offrant une vue magnifique sur la mer et une partie de la montagne. Encore mieux que sur les photos! Nancy n’était pas présente physiquement mais a montré bcp de réactivité aux quelques questions que nous nous posions. Lieu hautement recommandable.

Πεντακάθαρο και άνετο σπίτι με ιδιωτικό κήπο. Νιώσαμε όμορφα απο την πρώτη στιγμή. Υπέροχη η επικοινωνία με την Ρίνα.

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.

Ich habe die Zeit auf Odyssey Glamping sehr genossen. Die Zelte sind wunderschön und super praktisch eingerichtet. Auch das eigene Badezimmer ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Es fehlt an nichts. Am Strand und Pool sind tolle Liegen und Sonnenschutz. Alles ist sehr sauber und liebevoll gestaltet. Toll sind auch die E-Bikes zum Ausleihen. Katerina und Christina (und alle anderen Mitarbeitenden) sind super herzlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Ich habe mich als Alleinreisende sehr wohl gefühlt und sehr nette Gespräche geführt. Katerina ist eine unglaublich gute Köchin. Ich hatte das große Glück ihre Kochkünste genießen zu dürfen. Auch der Kochkurs ist toll! Ich kann diesen Urlaubsort nur empfehlen und komme auf jeden Fall wieder! Ein absolutes Paradies!

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 😄

האיכות היה מושלם ,נוף מדהים ,הוילה הייתה מהממת ומצויידת היטב ,עם ברכה מדהימה ..לאונידס היה נעים מאוד ושרותי. נשמח שוב לחזור להתארך בוילה זו . תודה רבה על החוויה הנהדרת

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.
