Definitely the best place to stay in Andros. The house is kept by Vagelis's mother. She is the most lovely host I've met so far. Great reception, the fridge was filled with lots of drinks and the most delicious home made food and sweets in the island. Since we arrived at night it was perfect. We had an small tour of the house, fully charged of history. The host gave us plenty of useful and valuable information, places to see and things to do (Information that is not found in popular travel guides). For example, the villages of Menites, Apikia or the wonderful Pithara waterfalls. We strongly recommend visiting the island on April 1st, because it's the traditional festivity of the Island, with local music, dances, and firework. Concerning the equipment, there is everything you need, clean and handy. From the hair-drier to the coffee machine.
The location is one of the assets of the place. The house is easily reachable from the main road, no more than 1min by car. You have a wonderful view of the sea and you can reach the beach after a 15minutes walk. Paleopolis is at the middle of the island. It takes around 20 minutes to arrive to Gavrio (the port), and 20 minutes to Chora (Andros's main city). Thus you're practically at the centre of most of the restaurants and taverns serving delicious fresh fish and sea food. Renting a car is strongly recommended since there is much to see, and the local bus services don't cover all the spots.
The island of Andros is a must see. There is everything you need. From wonderful beaches to majestic Monasteries. And one of the most pleasant surprises, the island is full of natural springs and walking paths (more than 300km), making it ideal for the nature enthusiasts.
In brief, if you're planing a trip to Andros, go to Valegis's place. You will not be deceived.
