Imagine waking to the most beautiful views of Andros each morning, surrounded by lush, green landscape and the sea in the distance. That is what we experienced, while so must of the rest of our time was spent on the huge terrace listening to nature and relaxing. The Yellow House really is unique. So close to Chora and beaches while feeling like you are in total isolation which my husband and I loved.
The location was perfect, we were able to take advantage of Andros’ famous hiking routes, hiking off direct from the house to the beautiful beaches of Gialia and Piso Gialia, stopped for a quick swim to cool down and then carried on the hike to Chora and back to the house. It was also very easy to explore other parts of the island from there too. We did a hike to Achla beach - wow!The tavern in Apikia, 10 minutes walk from the house was a hidden gem and a snapshot of Andros life; very friendly, great simple Greek food and if you are lucky spontaneous music from the locals! Definitely go.
Alex the host was incredible. His hospitality was endless, he always had time to answer questions and give tips about the island. One of the best and most professional Airbnb hosts I have ever met. He even allowed us to pick our own fruit and vegetables from the gardens, which were in abundance, zucchini, zucchini flowers, tomatoes, peaches, cucumbers, aubergines - seasonal eating at its best. This place is a tiny paradise. Go see for yourself.
To access the house you must walk down a lot of steps, so not the best for less mobile people.
