Petalida is a beautiful home. What stood out were the views, the easy water taxi transport to town, and the private, quiet location.

Everything about the experience at Petalida on Hydra was wonderful. The house itself was absolutely beautiful - it's a beautiful villa, we loved the terraces and the interior design. I am currently having my front door at home redone to be like Petalida’s! Thank you for putting together such a special trip.

What we loved about Petalida was its location.

Petalida was a peaceful paradise. We loved the many outside spaces with beautiful views and the overall interior design. It was so peaceful and perfect for what we wanted. We loved the island was car free but we could walk into the port. We would love to return and please tell the villa owners thanks for sharing their amazing space.

What stood out about Petalida was the location and the interior design. Would I return? Yes, I love the place. And I love this part of Hydra, and the villas proposed by The Thinking Traveller are amazing. It is the second time with you. My friends enjoyed also. Thank you a lot, cannot wait to be back.

Petalida is a spacious, beautiful and luxurious home from home just steps from the sparkling sea, yet surrounded by beautiful gardens. It's secluded, peaceful and private - a wonderful combination. We loved the terraces with well thought through seating for eating and relaxing in either warm sunshine or shade. This was a special trip for us for a milestone birthday. We would love to return next time with our family. It's a wonderful house on a magical island - we feel fortunate to have spent time there. Thank you for another another wonderful stay.
