The hotel is at the top of the harbour town. It is quite a stiff climb up from the harbour but the walk takes you through traditional cobbled streets meeting mules and donkeys coming the other way, past traditional houses and narrow alley-ways. If you stayed in more expensive accommodation near the port you might miss all this. On the... more

We spent four nights at the Nefeli and felt the owners made a big effort to ensure we had a good holiday. They helped us choose where to eat, suggested walks around the island and were happy to spend time with guests without imposing themselves. The breakfast was excellent, the rooms were bright and well-maintained and the views from the... more

Our arrival on Hydra was out of a film. The donkey that we pre-booked was waiting to take our luggage. The hotel owner was at the harbour to personally guide us through the labyrinthine of narrow streets to reach the hotel's' spectacular location above town. That personal service is a rare find. Nefeli, newly renovated with all modern amenities, keeps... more

Since I'm working in Athens, I have been coming many times to Hydra over the last 3 years and stayed at several hotels, but Nefeli is definitely one of my favorites on the island. It is a 10 minutes walk up from the port. Views are amazing and location very peaceful. The hotel comes with nice terraces on which it... more

We stayed at Nefeli for a week in August and look forward to returning. Alex and Brett were wonderful hosts, the hotel is spotless, breakfast was perfect and views to the ocean from the top floor are fabulous. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone. more

We stayed at the Nefli for 2 weeks with our young children and grandma. We had two rooms both with the most super views across the bays, you feel as if you are on top of the world! Our 6 year old was in heaven when we were greeted at the port by the host Brett and mules for the... more

We came to Hydra for our honeymoon and had the great misfortune of choosing this hotel based on all the great TripAdvisor reviews. Where to begin... In order to reach the hotel, we followed the directions sent to us by management prior to arrival. We were both soaked with sweat and ready to turn back to the port half way... more

Perched above Hydra, the Nefeli is a charmer. Beautiful outdoor space, with views of the sea and surrounding hills. Rooms simple, but immaculate. Every morning starts with a basket of fresh bread and pastries, yougurt, fruit, freshly squeezed orange juice, local honey, coffee and tea. Hosts are warm and friendly. Be prepared to walk many steps to get from the... more

Brett and Alex who are the owners of this beautiful hotel, are fun, friendly, considerate, helpful, and altogether the perfect hosts. Yes, it is a bit of a walk up the steps to the hotel, but it is a cultural experience every step of the way from the bars at the harbour, to meeting Maria at 'Four Corners General Store'.... more
