About this property

Shady, Secret Hideway on glorious undiscovered Andros

Traditional old island house with additional buildings in keeping with the character of the island. 10 minutes from beach. Deliberately devoid of clutter but comfortable and homely. Fully equipped kitchen to cook freshly caught fish and vegetables that the farmers bring down to town each morning. Real fire for those who visit in the cooler months. The walls, mostly 3ft thick, keep the house cool in summer and warm in the winter. Shady areas with great views of sunsets and sea. Olive and fruit trees in the terraced grounds. Good walking through long forgotten lush valleys. Fabulous panoramas out to sea and across the unspoilt mountainous island. Easily accessible from the road and yet totally quiet and private. The accommodation easily splits into 2 separate areas suitable for more than one family. Wonderful for a families or those who want to avoid the club scene but would like a holiday that will enthral all from the very young to the more senior.

Water for your souls

An amazing house, quite hidden above Gavrio, in northern part of the island, so carefully maintained by Tim, a very gentle and welcoming guest. The place is large, with plenty of space for families (we were 8 all together) and super equipped. Tim is always available to support via message. As in all country houses, expect a few insects and bats to be around, but otherwise it is a superb place to live and love Andros

Perfect Andros

We had a great two weeks in mid September. Hot enough to enjoy a range of lovely beaches within a short drive, but cool enough for varied walking (we saw wild terrapins at Aladinou). A lovely house, well equipped and with a great terrace providing shelter from the wind when needed.

Grande maison de vacances familiale, très agréable et admirablement située

Nous avons adoré notre séjour à Andros, aux côtés sauvages et escarpées. Partager la plage avec les chèvres est une expérience inoubliable. Ce séjour a été rendu d'autant plus agréable que la maison était spacieuse, bien aménagée, disposant de terrasses ombragées offrant de magnifiques panoramas sur la mer et les collines, notamment au soleil couchant. Les nombreux conseils avisés de nos hôtes ont en outre été très utiles pour faire de ce séjour une totale réussite. Merci à la famille Newmann !

Sumptuous sunsets!

What a wonderful time in this lovely shadely house! The house of Tim and Lully is even more beautiful than in the photos. The terrace, in particular, enchanted us; it is large, friendly and protected by a beautiful eucalyptus. The 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms well enough for 10 people. Thanks to Tim and Lully's explanations we found the house very easily. All of their recommendations for beaches, monasteries and other places to visit were good advice. Special mention for the taverns: Kosses and Andreas! We are in a hurry to return to Andros! Véronique and Olivier with their children and granddaughter

Un havre de paix et de bien être

La maison de Tim est encore plus belle que sur les photos! La terrasse, en particulier, nous a enchantés; elle est grande, conviviale et protégée par un bel eucalyptus qui, secoué par le meltem (qui a été incessant pendant notre sejour), projette sur elle de très belles taches de lumière. On assiste à des couchers du soleil somptueux. La maison comprend cinq chambres. L'une d'entre elles possède un lit XXL, et une autre, un peu à l'écart, est parfaite pour isoler de grands ados parfois bruyants! Il ne faut compter que sur deux salles de bain car la troisième, dans le jardin, est un peu spartiate. Grâce aux explications de Tim et Lully nous avons trouvé la maison très facilement. Toutes leurs recommandations concernant les plages et les tavernes étaient de bons conseils. Parmi les plages les plus proches, nous avons apprécié celles de Felos et, plus encore, de Sorkos. Mention speciale à la taverne "THIRIOTROFEIO" BISTROT située à Gavrio et, plus loin, à Andros, le restaurant de fruits de mer Nonas. Si nous devions retourner à Andros, nous souhaiterions revenir dans cette maison chaleureuse. Catherine, sa famille et ses amis (de Paris)

Piacevole scoperta!

La casa è molto caratteristica, con due terrazze piacevoli e spazio sufficiente per ospitare due famiglie di 4 persone ciascuna, garantendo anche una buona privacy. La posizione è comoda per raggiungere Gavrio ed alcune delle spiagge migliori dell'isola. La casa è fornita di tutto il necessario per cucinare e la fonte di acqua potabile è a 2 passi. Lully e Tim sono stati molto cortesi, fornendoci tutte le informazioni utili sull'isola e la casa. Consigliato!

Ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt für 10 Personen

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit in dem Haus, gute Erholung, viel Platz, schöne Einrichtung. Alles wie beschrieben vorgefunden und sehr hilfreiche Hinweise von den Vermietern im Vorfeld erhalten.

Beautiful sea views, always a fresh breeze

Choice of 2 huge terraces in the sun, with shade or shelter - and always a breeze. Dramatic views over the sea, the big Eucalyptus tree, a dramatic focus for the house. A most generous and extremely well organised and clean place. We highly recommend it as a base for discovering the small hidden beaches of the island ( Zorkos, Vitali, Ateni and Achla ) and fascinating walks along river valleys.

Idyllic spot on Andros

I loved my time at this wonderful spot on Andros. Beautifully situated high up on the hills, it commands amazing views and sunsets which are breathtaking from the terrace. A short drive to the closest village and easy driving distance to amazing beaches. It is surrounded by lots of fig trees which were just ripe during our stay - lots of varieties and absolutely delicious. A little walk down the steps and along the road, you can get to a little spring which has wild mint growing - a great place to explore from on foot with walks up the hill and around the area. Loved the house - the rooms were comfortable and clean and freshly painted white. The kitchen is really well set up and the living area really cosy. Particularly loved the terrace for a 'greek' breakfast or g&t's at dusk to watch the setting sun. I will absolutely be coming back....thank you!

Beautiful versatile house in great location

We really loved staying here. The house has lovely views and lots of different terraces and places to be with beautiful views out over the valley and sea, stunning sunsets and shade and breeze when you want it too. Inside the bedrooms and bathrooms are attractive, comfy and well-equipped. The kitchen is large and well arranged, there's everything you need in it to cook and feed a house full. There are also lovely local items dotted around, and lots of information, books and maps about the island. With the owners' knowledge of the island and the advice they provide its easy to find lots of lovely quiet beaches with and without tavernas, places to shop for food, great walks (even in high summer), restaurants. Just spending time around the house, on the terraces under the Eucalyptus tree and generally enjoying the place was also a pleasure. The owners were really helpful and very easy to deal with, they are very passionate about Andros and are really keen to help people enjoy their stay and the island. As the house is about 20 minutes drive from the arrival port of Gavrio this is a great location for exploring the wild north of the island and still being able to quickly get into the shops and restaurants of Gavrio and other parts of the island, watersports etc. Its also a beautiful house with lovely original features in a great setting. For us it was a perfect base and a really good way to experience a lot of Andros in a short period of time.

Just back from my fourth visit to gorgeous Andros

I always stay here because I love this place. The kitchen has everything you need, the house is clean, the sheets are beautifully ironed and you feel like you are in a real Greek home. Inside the house it's always lovely and cool (the walls are so thick). There are showers, baths, and comfortable bedrooms. From memory, all are curtained and shuttered, and I sleep better in this house and Andros than anywhere else.! Outside, there are lovely orchards and grassy areas on different levels to relax. The owners are always really friendly when I book and have always recommended good places to go and companies to use. What to do: there are so many beaches that we normally go to a different one each day. Some have little restaurants nearby where you can spend a couple of shady hours; others we take a picnic too, and glory in the fact there are still some beaches in Europe with no bars, parasols or disco. Andros is a truly unspoilt island. My favourite morning activity is to drive in to Gavrio, pick up fruit and vegetables from the farmers who arrive daily and sell groceries from the back of their trucks, then supplement it with visit to the supermarket and green grocer, before selecting one of many cafes for my morning greek coffee. In the evening, we probably eat in 25% of the time and enjoy really cheap greek wine, gorgeous fruit and vegetables with some fish or cook up a bolognese; but there are also great restaurants - in Gavrio there are lots the facing the port, but also on little squares. Just up from the house is a fabulous restaurant. I have no idea what is called (we just call it the "goat" restaurant ... for no known reason), but just turn right out of the house and its about a kilometre up the hill off the road to the left. The food is really delicious...we have often had to place a second order for more! Children queue up to ride on the ponies that come out in the evening, and all is very safe, quiet and idyllic. Tips: - there is a spring nearly opposite the house which we ran down to each day to fill up the bottles with the purest water that runs from the mountains. - you need a car and the roads are rough - try Anna Vrettou in Gavrio (good English/good range cars) - the ferry runs in the morning and the afternoon, so make sure your flight fits well with this....alternatively, once I mis-timed it and spent a lovely evening in a good basic hotel on the mainland at Rufina where the restaurants serve great fish
