About this property
Set on a quiet hillside just above Chora, Villa Olia is where cool Cycladic design meets gentle valley breezes and far-reaching sea views. Inspired by Andros’ ancient soul and shaped by minimalist flair, this 90-square-metre retreat invites you to slow down and savour the pace of island living.
Step through the entrance and a sense of calm instantly settles in. The open-plan living space is thoughtfully arranged, with two generous sofas, soft lighting and earthy textures. Neutral tones pair with contemporary furnishings to create a space that feels both soothing and fresh. From here, large glass doors frame the rolling hills and distant Aegean waters, drawing you effortlessly onto the terrace.
The fully equipped kitchen is sleek and unobtrusive, blending Smeg appliances and a Nespresso machine with natural wood and soft stone finishes. It's a practical yet stylish space, equally suited to preparing light breakfasts or relaxed dinners. A small indoor dining area completes the picture, but most meals will likely be taken alfresco.
Two master bedrooms sit to the side of the villa, each with a king-sized bed, marble en suite bathroom, and access to a quiet terrace. The atmosphere throughout is serene and pared-back, perfect for restful evenings after a day at the beach or exploring the winding trails of Andros.
Outside, a private lap pool glistens against a backdrop of green hills and blue sea. There’s space to sunbathe, dine under the pergola, or curl up with a book in the shade. The garden is simple and secluded, edged with soft planting and stone paths that lead gently around the villa.
Villa Olia feels both hidden and connected. It’s just a short walk or drive from Chora, but once inside its quiet walls, the world feels a little more distant. For couples or a small group seeking a polished base with character and views, this is the kind of place where you’ll want to linger.
Villa Olia sits in a peaceful enclave just above the capital of Andros, Chora. The location offers the best of both worlds: panoramic views and privacy, with the vibrant heart of the island only moments away. This is where traditional charm and everyday convenience meet, perfect for guests who like to explore on foot but retreat to quiet corners at the end of the day.
Chora is unlike many Cycladic towns. Elegant neoclassical mansions, leafy streets and art galleries speak to its rich cultural heritage. It’s home to the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Kairis Library, and historic churches, offering guests a deeper sense of place beyond the typical beach holiday. Wander its marble walkways and you’ll find artisan boutiques, cafés shaded by plane trees and family-run tavernas serving Andriot specialities.
For daily essentials, you’ll find bakeries, supermarkets and pharmacies all within easy reach. Whether you’re stocking up for a poolside lunch or picking up souvenirs in town, everything is accessible and nearby. The pace here is gentle, the people welcoming, and the setting unforgettable.
Just a short stroll downhill, Niborio Beach awaits. Calm waters and a sandy stretch make it a favourite for a morning swim or an early evening paddle. For something more secluded, Paraporti Beach is tucked behind the town, bordered by dramatic cliffs and popular with surfers and locals alike.
Nature lovers will also appreciate the area’s proximity to the famed Andros Routes. These well-marked walking trails cover over 100 kilometres of scenic paths through villages, valleys and ancient ruins. For those seeking active days, the villa is an ideal starting point for hiking or cycling adventures.
Back at the villa, the elevated setting ensures uninterrupted views across the landscape, from the rolling interior to the Aegean’s shimmering expanse. Whether you’re here to explore Andros in depth or simply unwind with a glass of wine and the scent of herbs in the air, Villa Olia’s location puts you perfectly in reach of it all.
