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.
