Stone-built Cycladic Farmhouse, and small hamlet, lovely views, sleeps 11/12 | Other in Andros
6 Bedroom Place in Andros
A lovely, romantic and rare stone-built small hamlet, modernised but with its charm and original features untouched, in about 6 acres of hillside with outstanding sea views, a beautiful garden and large plunge pool. The Farmhouse sleeps 7, the Pool Room sleeps 2 ensuite, and the Wine Press also sleeps 2 ensuite and has its own kitchen/living room . The buildings have thick stone walls, original fireplaces, bread ovens and wonderful ceilings.
There is also a bed in the through room leading to the Farmhouse bathroom (see photo with yellow wall behind) which means it is possible to sleep 12 although this can be a squeeze and so we do not suggest it.
The Farmhouse
This is an old house, build of stone with timber beam ceilings. It is very peaceful, the loudest noises tend to be goats on the hillside or our cockerels.
The Farmhouse sleeps 7 over 4 bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms lead off the large living room together with a bathroom and the fourth is just below the house.
The living room is large and airy. The kitchen is also large with an electric cooker and a separate gas hob. It is properly equipped. There are terraces for for outdoor eating and sitting around.
The Pool Room
This sleeps two, ensuite and is also below the house. After the Wine Press it is probably the nicest of the bedrooms.
The Wine Press
This is the oldest building on the property and has amazing ceilings of stone with wooden beams underneath. The lower floor is now the bathroom with large bath, freestanding shower, WC, bidet and marble sink. The wine was pressed where the bath is and the juice flowed down to where the shower is. The upper floor has a bedroom and living room/kitchen with fireplace. The living room has a baked earth floor. There is also a lovely terrace with shade provided by mulberry trees and an outdoor shower behind the house.
We also have an additional cottage on the land, sleeping 2, a few minutes walk away which we rent separately so let me know if you might want to be up to 13/14 in total.
Guest access
The house is surrounded by a large garden with olive and citrus groves on many terraces. There is also a large area of kitchen garden. We have almost all the vegetables, herbs, fruits and nuts of the region and these are available to guests in season for free. We also have chickens and guests are welcome to buy eggs if available (probably not in high summer) and our own olive oil.
There is a large plunge pool, measuring approx 5.5m x3m x 1.5m. This is reasonably toddler safe for young children in that it is above ground and only accessed by steps (see photos).
Other things to note
The property is built on a hillside, so there are steps from the car area down to the main house and from there down to the pool. We do have animals on the property including cats, chickens, goats, two tortoises and a donkey. The cats are fed away from the houses and are not allowed into them. If you or any of your party have a cat or other animal allergy or concern we will be very happy to discuss the situation in more detail with you.

How to get there
From Athens international airport there is a 25 minute taxi or bus ride to Rafina, the port. The ferries to Andros take 1.25 -2 hours, with hydrofoil being faster.
The property is about 15 minutes drive north of Gavrion, where the ferries arrive. It is 200m above sea level,10 mins drive (down a track) to two beautiful beaches, Pyrgos and Vlychada and 5 minutes drive to the nearest, very popular taverna (Kossis)
We are incredibly lucky to have Joseph who is both gardener and general overseer of the property. He lives in the house above the Wine Press and will bring you vegetables and fruits from the garden, depending on the season.
