“Hydra is a quiet island (except, crowded in the morning when the cruise ships and ferries come in). This is a place to have a 3 hour dinner that starts after 9 pm if you so desire. If you're looking for a party, go somewhere else. There are no vehicles - if you want to ride, you get on a donkey in town, a horse to explore further inland or a boat to find a more remote beach (just don't expect white sand). Like many places in this part of Europe, there are cats everywhere, and they don't mind asking you to share your meals. Be careful when shopping - everything is negotiable. My review of the Miranda is for what it is; a charming hotel in an older building that provides good value for the money (don't expect high end luxury). The included breakfast was basic but satisfying (no other meal service). Staff was very friendly and gave helpful dining advice.” Read more

“My son and I felt so welcome at Miranda that we plan to rerun next year. This place seems to belong to a time where nothing moves fast and all things are handled gently and with care. The owner told us, here you will sleep well. Indeed, after days and days of traveling and insomnia and that resíduo of NYC stress, I have never slept better. The garden is magical. The breakfast delicious. And the stuff...very polite and friendly when we asked for suggestions and recommendations. A foreground light filled out bedroom, well decorated with antiques and truly delicate linens. Soon we found out they there’s much history for his place, and history that is deeply tied to the island’s culture. Needless to say, the hotel has it’s own art gallery and curator, showing serious art works from important collections. We look forward to coming back. ” Read more
