We stayed here as a family of four and the place is lovely. The swimming pool area is quite new and meticulously scrubbed clean every morning and very tastefully done - and the girls just loved it and so provided a really good place to spend the hot sunshine days - with a lovely paddling pool for smaller children. The apartments are spacious and well laid out to open out on to the pool area with outside furniture and good sleeping space inside. The staff are awesome and what give the place real character and personality. They were so sweet and personable and helpful, but also really good company to chat to and we really enjoyed making friends and hanging out as well as their recommendations and suggestions for little known beaches and restaurants to find the hidden gems on the island. 
All in all a really lovely place where the management team and owners take great pride in how everything is done and maintained - would strongly recommend. 

Nearby within a 5 minute walk is a lovely beach although can get windy so make sure you choose the right end of the beach depending on wind direction. 

Brilliant in every way

We had never visited Andros Island before and booked Villa Sofia via booking.com
Location is about 2km (6 mins by taxi costing 10 euro) outside of the Port of Gaviro, so a quick transfer after arriving by ferry from Rafina on the Greek mainland.
Well situated away from any main roads and just 800m walk to several beaches and beach bars.
Gaviro town is walkable without luggage in about 15-20mins and has several bars, restaurants and supermarkets.
Accomodation is very spacious. Our apartment had a ground floor living room and kitchen and upstairs bedrooms.
Beware there are quite narrow spiral stairs to access first floor.
Breakfast was served outside near the pool and was good with a choice of cereal, breads, ham and chesse with eggs to order. Coffee and juice included.
Swimming pool was excellent and cleaned everyday.
Staff friendly.
Highly recommended, especially for families

Enjoyable Stay

Set in a quite place, ideally located close to island's main port and nice beaches, cool pool and garden.
Our apartment divided into two levels, the ground floor with very old furnitures (sofa canapé, table, table cloth and kitchen), upper floor newer with comfortable bed and maitress, small spaces and bathroom ok. 
Breakfast is to be forgotten, better not to serve it at all.
Overpriced for what they offer.
Owners not so welcome as expected

Just ok

The location is very good and there is a nice swimming pool which the kids much enjoyed. There was also convenient parking space. But these are the only positive things I can say. The rooms/apartment are only partially renovated and the photos are misleading. There is an effort to offer some sort of kitchenette in the rooms but these are too small and in some cases inconveniently placed. If you imagine that you can cook there you will be disappointed. I understand that we were lucky to have one of the most spacious kitchenettes (our friends were not as lucky) and that comprised of a sink, a very small oven (microwave sized) with hobs on its top and a good sized fridge (I understand that other rooms had a tiny fridge). The fridge was probably made back in the 70's or 80's and made a lot of noise which was annoying even if you were sleeping on the upper floor. 
Breakfast was poor. Poor labeling on the "buffet" limited (fruit) selection, even DYI to boil your egg (you could have this only boiled not fried & no omelets).
Although they advertise having the famous "Cocomat" mattresses this was only true for the double bed. Taking into consideration that the apartment is rented for a family on an equivalent rate, this was misleading. The mattress of the third bed for our young child was extremely firm for any human's standard (myself included who I like my mattress rather firm) which makes this unacceptable. Not to mention that the third bed is situated just opposite the bathroom door...   However the worst part of our experience was the very, very narrow and spiral staircase!!!! It was inconvenient for us to use and challenging for our preschooler kids. Imagine having to carry up this staircase a suitcase or your child which has fallen a sleep on the way while driving back to the Villa Sophia, too difficult for no reason....  It is simply unacceptable to have such a staircase in these apartments! Don't say we didn't warn you! Seriously overpriced for what it was and very impractical, I would definitely chose another place to stay especially for the money we paid!!!!  Sorry they should seriously get their act together rather that disappointing their visitors.
