More Charming than Ever Orloff Hotel Oozes History

Dec. 4, 2012 - PRLog -- The classical fully renovated boutique hotel Orloff welcomes travellers to experience the enchantment of a bygone era while unwinding amidst contemporary comforts.
In order to enhance the accommodation experience the Orloff Boutique Hotel started the Orloff Refresh Program in 2012 adding to the interior decoration and architecture of this already wonderful atmospheric hotel. New modern bathrooms with mozaik tiles, oak floors in the rooms now harmoniously blend with the authentic antique furniture creating an ambiance of utter calm and timeless sophistication.
Carrying a history of decades this charming accommodation in Hydra captures the allure of tradition. Privately owned to begin with the house belonged to the Kladakis family until 1986 when it was finally turned into a hotel named Orloff after “Orloffika” the first revolution of Greeks against Turks in the late 18th century. Built in 1796 by a Russian noble this luxury accommodation in Hydra reflects the spirit of the past in its interior spaces, the traditional architecture and design and the classy decoration details of family souvenirs and fine paintings reflecting the grandeur of history.
Known for its plentiful water supplies in ancient times thus named Hydra after Hydor meaning water, the island becomes a major naval force that played an important role in the liberation of Greece of 1821 after aiding the cause of revolution with 130 battleships, 5400 soldiers and 2400 cannons and hence also became known as little England.  
Hydra is a picturesque island between the Saronic and Argonic gulfs known for its cobblestone alleys, the donkey rides, the enchanting sceneries and reviving atmosphere of elitism.  Its close proximity to Athens makes it an ideal choice for weekend breaks, romantic interludes and relaxing escapes as well as a favourable wedding venue. The charming Orloff Boutique Hotel offers visitors the chance to experience the chic bohemian lifestyle only moments away from the port and the historic town of Hydra while cocooning in an atmosphere of pure bliss. The most romantic traditional weddings can be held in the hotel’s “secret garden” while newlyweds discover the secrets of classical grace.
