Cradled by Andros' verdant hills and gazing out toward the Aegean, Villa Elona is a serene hillside retreat where architectural finesse meets effortless island living. From the moment you walk through the doors, the villa feels designed not just for comfort, but for calm, each element curated with clarity and purpose.
Inside, soft light filters through floor-to-ceiling windows, bouncing off pale stone floors and clean white walls. The open-plan living space brings together sleek designer furnishings with refined materials, creating a setting that feels both warm and quietly refined. The fully equipped kitchen, with Smeg appliances, Nespresso machine and smooth marble worktops, flows into the lounge and dining area, where wide doors open out to the sun-kissed terrace. Two master bedrooms offer king-sized beds, premium linens and luxurious en-suite bathrooms fitted with Grohe fixtures, ensuring a restful retreat after days spent exploring the island or lazing by the pool.
Outside, the landscape opens up dramatically. The private infinity pool stretches toward the horizon, blurring the line between sky and sea, while the terrace and shaded dining area invite long afternoons of conversation and quiet. Sculptural outdoor seating and soft-toned loungers sit against a backdrop of wild olive groves and the distant shimmer of the Aegean. A secluded garden adds to the villa’s sense of privacy, and a compact gym offers space for a morning stretch or light workout before the day unfolds.
Set within a peaceful pocket of Andros, Villa Elona offers complete stillness while remaining within reach of the island’s characterful towns and scenic beaches. With professional daily cleaning, high-speed Wi-Fi, and full air conditioning, this villa has everything needed for a truly polished island stay.
Whether you're seeking a design-led escape for two couples or a peaceful hideaway for a small family, Villa Elona invites you to slow down, exhale, and immerse yourself in the rhythm of the Cyclades.
Perched in the rolling hills of Andros with sweeping views across the island’s lush interior and down to the sea, Villa Elona enjoys a privileged position that combines privacy with connection. Set just outside the charming village of Menites, this area is known for its fresh mountain springs, neoclassical architecture and leafy trails shaded by plane trees and citrus groves. It’s a peaceful slice of the island where nature and culture intertwine.
From the villa, it’s a short drive to Chora, the capital of Andros. This elegant town is unlike anywhere else in the Cyclades, offering a blend of Venetian, neoclassical and Cycladic architecture, with marble-paved streets, open squares and striking sea views. Here, you’ll find boutique galleries, excellent bakeries, and museums showcasing the island’s maritime and artistic legacy. For daily essentials, there are local markets, delicatessens and family-run shops within a 10–15 minute drive.
The coastline near Villa Elona is dotted with some of the island’s finest beaches, including Nimborio and Paraporti, where calm waters and golden sands invite slow, sun-drenched afternoons. Further afield, the more remote beaches of Achla and Vitali offer a wilder beauty and are well worth the scenic drive.
Outdoor activities abound, from hiking and cycling to discovering ancient monasteries or wine-tasting in the island’s inland villages. Andros is famed for its walking trails, known as the Andros Routes, many of which pass through nearby valleys and offer spectacular views at every turn. This is an island where tradition still shapes the day-to-day, and where a slower pace reveals the most rewarding experiences.
Villa Elona’s location is ideal for travellers seeking to immerse themselves in the quieter, more authentic side of the Cyclades. You’re close enough to the action to enjoy the island’s food, art and beach culture, yet far enough to savour every sunrise and sunset in total tranquillity.
