We are two families with 6 kids between us aged 8-13.
When we arrived at the villa, we all couldn't stop giggling because it was so incredible. The photos do not do it justice at all. You are blown away by the sweeping views as you enter the terrace balcony, which is so much bigger than the pictures depict. There are so many social areas outside, three big group dinning tables, a social couch area, and all the sunbeds too. There were endless bedrooms, an the kids all took turns swapping. The ones in the basement are dark and the kids loved those, which is great, as it left practically 5 bedrooms upstairs for the adults to enjoy. There are 4 bedrooms with views of the pool and the vista outside. Our favourite part of the day was opening the shutters in the morning, lying in bed, and watching the sun rise above our views and pool. Then after breakfast, it was hard to tear ourselves away from relaxing by the pool. As a result, we only went to the beach a handful of times. The close beach called Piso Giali was our favorite. Small beach bar, small beach cove with crystal clear waters. The tavern above it (Barberos) was terrific.
Stavros was terrific, always at hand to answer all our questions. He even organised a nice excursion for the kids to visit some horses and farm animals... A nice surprise too was the help which came to make beds and sweep up a bit everyday!
The kitchen is fully equipped with enough large cooking utensils to feed a tribe. We had so much fun on the 1/2 court basketball court in the evenings, nce we worked out how to put the flood lights on, and same with the tennis court.
There is so much of Andros we did not explore (I blame the great villa for that), we will definitely come again. The weather was amazing in mid September.
