Soak It Up

Soak It Up: Andros

With two alfresco dining areas, two living rooms, and a sprawling pool terrace including several day beds and sun loungers, this traditional villa is perfect for friendly gatherings and extended families.

Start off with a fresh Greek coffee on the sun terrace, overlooking the idyllic natural landscape and shimmering sea, before packing your seaside essentials and heading to Fellos beach (a three-minute drive away). Or perhaps you'll take it easy at home, swimming a few leisurely laps of the pool before picking out your favourite lounger for a spot of serious tanning. When lunchtime arrives, fire up the barbecue and gather the group for a grilled feast under the wooden pergola.

Inside, you'll find a calm and comfortable place to call home with timber-framed ceilings, homespun furnishings and a neutral colour palette. Settle down for a cosy evening in by the original fireplace, before treating yourself to an indulgent bubble bath in the jacuzzi. However, we recommend you go out and explore your surroundings from this prime location. Hop in your rental car and dine out at the pretty sea port of Gavrio, where waterside tavernas and lively bars will have you spoilt for choice, just seven minutes away.
