To make a long story short, I will give the detailed feedback just after giving a warm, two thumbs up recommendation on both the beautiful house and the generous hosts. Both of them made our vacation unforgettable!

The house is located less than ten minutes driving from Batsi, in which you can find lots of restaurants, tavernas and cafe. About 20 minutes by car from Gavrio, the port city. About 46 minutes by car from Andros city/Chora. A car in this island is pretty much a must, unless you plan to get to Andros and stay only in Gavrio (which would be a pity, because the island is so beautiful, and also because in that case you will not stay in this amazing house and meet those amazing people who runs it :)

The house itself is a spotless, tidy, pleasant, fully-equipped home away from home. We stayed eventually in Capensia Lodge, not in the Dove view house, which is just near the latter. All the images and description are correct. Easy to make your own food, if you want. A laundry machine is available just outside the house. There are mosquitoes nets over all the windows. Everything was so well organized to give the guests full comfort. Two really beautiful beaches are about 10-15 minutes walking by either steps or dirt/rocky, sometimes a bit slippery path. It well worth the effort, though. The beaches are lovely, and it was like having a private beach. The view of the sea at all times is beautiful, especially at sunsets. The whole area of the house is so quiet. You can hear the watermelon grow :)

We didn’t meet Nefeli, but the communication with her was super - very responsive and light. Her parents were the ones who warmly welcomed us, with smiles, bottle of white wine, cold water and juice. Their remarkable kindness and amazing hospitality kept on during our entire stay to the last moment on the island, including a flexible checkout time and driving us to the port. One of our favorite aspects of having a vacation, besides sightseeing and having a rest, is to meet new people, especially locals, getting to know them and share with them some priceless time. From this point of view, the staying in this beautiful house went far beyond our expectations.

Please pay attention to what the hosts wrote under the title “Other things to note”, regarding wheelchair access (which is not possible) and accessing the property, which would be also somewhat difficult for people with mobility issues.

For all others, this place is simply heaven, and we heartily thank Nefeli, Vanessa and George for their lovely welcoming and hosting. Definitely looking forward to come back. Yasou!
