Villa Helias With Private Pool

A 10 stars experience! Great villa and super host! Thank you Korinna for your great hospitality and attentiveness. The villas were wonderful and your kind help throughout the planning and during our stay were exceptional. We couldn’t have asked for more from either you or your amazing staff.

Some places are just … different. We have been spending our summer vacations in Greece for several years now, we couldn’t make it in 2020 because of the pandemic so we were obviously anxious to come over again this year. And with the highest expectations. We arrived at villa Heliades in the late afternoon and it was LOVE at first sight. Perfections stands in details and everything was just perfect. Starting from the warm welcome of Mrs. Korinna and her husband Mr. Pavlov to the kind and discrete first class service of their staff, Sergei and Nina, we felt cocooned and pampered during our entire stay. If you expect the highest standards in terms of cleanliness, equipment and service Villa Heliades is where you want to be. The rooms are big, fully equipped with air conditioning and large bathrooms. Same for the kitchens (yes, our villa had two kitchens) and the living rooms. What to say about the terraces and the patio…we lived in a dream for two weeks, we couldn’t hope for anything better. We’d like to give a special endorsement to Sergei and Nina for being so silently and discretely present and making us feel like Home. All we had to care about was relaxing and enjoying our time there. We usually like to visit a different island every year but if there’s one place we’d like to go back that’s Heliades Villas. For sure. ευχαριστώ και θα τα πούμε σύντομα!

Fabulous Villa We had a wonderful 14 days . The villa and the pool are lovely. The service from Korinna and the other staff were fantastic from the moment we booked and throughout our stay. The villa is cleaned every day and there's always someone to help if needed. The villa is on three levels so plenty of space and there are two kitchens if required! All the rooms and bathrooms are in immaculate conditions. You did have the feeling of staying in a 5*hotel. Car definitely needed and there is a wonderful secluded beach about a 5 minute drive away. My only comment is that if you are renting a car get a relatively powerful one as there are a number of steep hills to climb! 8/18/2020 at 2:43 PM

Just came back from a dream vacation! the villa was far beyond anything we expected! the pool,facility's, maintenance and attention to detail was superb the help and service we got from Korinna the owner was like nothing i have encountered before. one of our best vacations! the ultimate get away. a perfect 10. cant wait to come back :)

We've never been to Greece and with what has been going on we were concerned to say the least. But our gracious host calmed our concerns and we are so very grateful that we made the trip. The owners helped us with every aspect of our journey from the airport to their beautiful home. The pictures don't do this location justice, it's actually even more beautiful. A warm dinner was waiting for us when we arrived and I just say that the view along with some delicious Greek wine was the perfect end to a long day of travel. The island is amazing and offers many relaxing options for couples, families and friends. The small towns are charming and offer many food options and shopping and the vistas from traveling along the coast can't be captured by mere photographs. Reading on that lovely bed by the pool will be a memory that stays with me for many days to come with the wind cooling us and perfectly blue sky every single day. It was truly a heavenly location and the service provided by the owners and the couple on the ground was more than five star!! I'd highly recommend Andros and this home to anyone who wants to really experience the magic of the Greek islands!

First, I must say that it took me a long time to submit this review....all because I couldn't bring myself to share the BEST vacation of my life! I am an American married to a Greek that came to the U.S. when he was 18yrs. old. We have two kids 15(girl) and 13 (boy)yrs. old. Our plans this year were to find a villa that fit my family of four and my husband's family of five...so 9 all together. Of the Greek five, two parents with two boys..10 and 7yrs. of age. and yiayia. They told me to find a villa on an island near the mainland so that we could take a ferry, load up and travel with our own cars to make it more affordable. I ended up on the island of Andros. I found about 10 villas that met my needs and through process of elimination I chose Villa Helias. There are three villas(owned by Korinna and Pavlos) located on this mountain side. They are all extremely private and for the 10 plus days of our stay, we did not see one other guest. They all have their own fabulous pools and outdoor kitchens with barbecue. The gardens were spectacular with lush green grass and plenty of room for soccer or whatever crazy child's play you would like. Our villa slept 9 easily...with room to spare. There were four large bedrooms(high end super comfy beds of all sizes) all with lovely closets(wardrobes). Two bedrooms with ensuites upstairs and two bedrooms that shared a huge full bath downstairs....there were also two powder rooms. Another key feature for myself was that there were two full kitchens!! The two kitchens made grocery shopping and meal preparation for our families so much easier than trying to fit everything in one fridge and all of us trying to use the same microwave, toaster, stove, coffee machine...etc...!! TWO FULL KITCHENS...with American size refrigerators.....UNBELIEVABLE!! I cooked numerous difficult recipes with all my gadget needs being met. Not to mention that all the appliances(including a washing machine) were all high end names. No luxury was spared, ANYWHERE, from the tile on the floor to the designer decorating. Every room was thought out as to what comfort they could provide you. I think as Americans we can be rather demanding and Korinna and Pavlo seriously met everything we needed, all with a gracious smile and speedy delivery. I know that I am a picky traveler...I like things spotless and in perfect working order, this villa fit all of us perfectly!! The youngest child travelling with us has a dangerous allergy to hornets and we noticed that the area(due to the season) had quite a few...we told Korinna of our worries and later in the day a truck arrived to spray the lawn….no more hornets!! She and Pavlo were like our fairy godmothers’ granting all our wishes! They had also thought out the need for pool and beach towels, beach chairs, coolers and even some toys for the kids. The villa was easy to get to and the roads were safe(no chance of your car getting hurt due to poor roads!) not to mention that we were met at the port and led to the villa by the caretaker. As far as the island goes….I’d personally like to live there! The people were the nicest Greeks that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The little town and port were so quaint with neat shopping and fun bars and restaurants as well as bakeries and icecream shops, all open extremely late for us vacationers. Andros is an extremely easy, large island to navigate. The roads are paved and not at all scary(I find many of the other Greek Islands to have hair-raising, cliffside unpaved roads.) The beaches are fabulous with beautiful sand or with tiny round pebbles….you have your choice. I prefer sand and there were plenty. Andros is also known for it’s summer wind…..I loved it as it kept us the perfect temperature while sitting at the beach. Everything always seemed fresh with the presence of the wind and it was easy enough to put on a little sweater at night. We also felt like we had our own private beach at the bottom of the hillside, Fellos Beach - unorganized as the Greeks call it - no chairs or beach bars, just natural beauty! In a quick easy ten minutes you could be at an organized beach with music , chairs, umbrellas and food with crystal clear water(St. Peters Beach) and lovely soft sand. We took car trips to explore many other beaches, as there are too many to list. Our Villa was located in such an ideal location, so easy to travel anywhere or nowhere, your choice as we had everything at our fingertips. I have been to many villas on many different islands and I’m always ready to try a new one...until now….please take me back to Villa Helias(or Phiva or Etheria) on Andros Island….but please don’t tell everyone as I don’t want it’s natural beauty to change. Thank you Korinna and Pavlos for my fairytale vacation...W miss you terribly!!

We have had an unforgettable, amazing month at our summer holiday at the villa. Andros island has proved to be a unique place combining wonderful weather without harassing heat and humidity (no conditioner needed), with tight breeze, luxurious virgin beach, where even in July we could be all by ourselves and could enjoy the purest waters, marvellous views and absolute privacy. Food product in the biomarket, supermarket and froutaria is a dream of adept of eutrophy and all natural nutrition. The restaurants are very democratic, hospitable and always have local food of wonderful quality. The tavern near the villa can disincline you to cook yourself. But.. you will love to cook in the wonderful kitchen, and more breakfast enjoying a spectacular view at the same time! Needless to say about grill at the barbecue place - it's a must! The villa itself is a real treasure where everything is thought out. The level of comfort just dazzles! There is no feeling emasculated coldness you have in luxurious rooms of hotels. Everywhere in the villa you feel like being at home where all the things are selected with love. Special thanks to Vasilis and Aliona for a personal touch and everyday service, which makes your stay at the villa even more comfortable. We would like to thank the owners Mrs. Korinna and Mr. Pavlos for a superb rest, for their hospitality and do hope we will come again here! Sergei, Maria and 3 children
