Sep 14, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Impressive Building Overall we liked our stay very much. Although there is no AC it is never too warm since the building itself is so massive that it never heats up. Also, there is almost always wind. The nicest thing about it is the garden. Absolutely beautiful. The pool is also nice and the whole property which is huge is very well maintained. We loved our stay there and can reccomend it for sure. ##### Olaf H. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Muriel L. Sep 5, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful outside space and house of character We had a lovely stay in this unique place. The communication with the host was easy and very pleasant. She did everything to make our stay enjoyable. The terraces are all comfortably furnished and I really enjoyed watching the sunrise over the sea from one of them. The pool is really a treat ! It is great to pick your tomatoes and other vegetables in the garden! You should know that there are around 80 steps to reach the house and another 40 to reach to beautiful top bedroom. You come back in great shape!!! The only thing I would improve is the bedding; some of the single mattresses have springs that are uncomfortable and poke through. (The other mattresses are very firm which is fine). There are only 3 bedrooms in the main house. The other 2 single beds are actually sofas in the main living room. The washing machine is tricky. The island is a gem and not touristic yet. Enjoy it while it lasts! I would definitely recommend this place! ##### Muriel L. Stayed 23 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Blandine C. Aug 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magnifique Une maison datant de 1700 avec un charme incroyable, sur 3 niveaux, avec une mention spéciale pour la chambre (et sa salle de bain) perchée en haut de la tour, qui domine tous les alentours. La piscine à débordement, en contrebas de la maison, est magnifique et au calme, entourée de végétation (lauriers roses, hortensias et arbres fruitiers) et de grands matelas et transats, pour se reposer (avec ombre et soleil, selon les goûts). Plusieurs terrasses bien équipées au niveau de la maison ou du jardin. Le top : cueillir les légumes et fruits du jardin (tomates, poivrons, courgettes, aubergines, figues, poires...) et aller chercher l'eau à la source (à 30 secondes à pied de la maison). Un accueil très sympathique des propriétaires, des indications très claires pour venir. La maison est nichée dans le village de Lamira, petit village très typique : les derniers mètres se font à pied obligatoirement par la ruelle en escaliers. Plusieurs ballades peuvent se faire jusqu'à Menites ou Andros, directement depuis la maison. Et on ne se laisse pas de la vue sur la ville d'Andros et la vallée de Messaria jusqu'au monastère de Panachrantou. A noter qu'une des chambres avec 2 lits simples est en fait une grande alcôve dans le salon du 1er étage, fermé par un rideau. Cela n'a pas été un problème pour nous, car nos enfants sont grands et que nous n'avons pas vraiment utilisé le salon (équipé de la tv avec Netflix et Apple TV). ##### Blandine C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Will C. Jul 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful hillside Andros house We loved our stay! The charming multi-level house is tucked on a hillside wIth panoramic views of the valley and the Aegean Sea. The interior has the feel of a Greek country home and was well maintained. The grounds and pool are lovely and we spent much of our stay outside on one of the several terraces. The property is on a network of old trails and you can hike all over the island. The nearby seaside town of Chora is pretty and has good restaurants and all the essentials . Our host was very nice and responsive. All in all, highly recommended for a relaxed Greek Island getaway. ##### Will C.
