Vassiliki Kontou Studios

My room was huge and had a balcony overlooking the bay. Breakfast was served in a pleasant setting by the pool, which was good for swimming and warmer than the sea at the end of May. The host was incredible: he picked me up at the bus station and drove me there for my excursions every day, without charging extra. I’ll come back.

It's a peaceful spot high above the sea and Andros town, with lovely views from both the property and the outdoor pool. The owners are friendly and the place is family-run. The kitchenette and hair dryer could use some renovation, but that really didn't bother me. Just know that the road up is steep if you plan to walk or use a wheelchair.

The views across the island and sea are amazing. It's a simple place to stay, not far from town, though you'll need to walk a little and there's an uphill stretch to get there. Breakfast was basic, and there were so many yellow bees around that my group and I couldn't eat in peace, so I went back to my apartment to have it.

The location is the only positive I can mention. Service was awful, and the rooms and pool were dirty; the furniture was old too. I expected much better. It isn't worth it, and I wouldn't recommend staying here. I'd suggest checking out Edem Suites instead.
