Traditional converted Venetian forthouse

This unique Venetian fort house was built in 1700 by its owner Tomasso Neri. His daughter married a Greek man named Parodos and ever since it is known as the Parodos Fort house. Through the years its been inhabited by a lot of people and used in many different ways, making history, such as a girl's school, the teacher's house, up to our family.
The fort house is decorated authentically to keep the atmosphere, the memories and its history vivid. It combines tradition alongside with contemporary living, amenities and comforts.
The main house consists of 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1 guest wc, kitchen, 2 living rooms , 2 fire places and 3 terraces. Terraces are fully equipped with external lounges, sun beds and dinning areas under the colourful bougainvilleas and leafy vineyards. There is big garden full of citrus trees , allocated in different levels. The guest house is located in the garden facing the swimming pool. Its a one bed room, one bathroom apartment with a fully equipped kitchenette. The swimming pool area is the most relaxed part of the house , located amongst hortansias, oleander and beautiful magnolia trees. Sun beds and numerous hammocks are provided and are ideal for afternoon siestas. We have a bio vegetable, fruit and herb garden where we grow our own local seasonal greens for our guest to enjoy! We annually make homemade lemonades and jams!
Last but not least there is a private chapel ideal for private ceremonies as well as a children's playground. As far as children are concerned, the house is as baby safe as can be, as i'm a mother of two! There are baby proof doors on every staircase inside the house and on the terraces. Playmats, baby cots, high eating chairs, toys, both english and greek books ages 0-3 are available, as well as activity table and chairs, swings, slide and a sand pit!
This fort house is ideal for families or a group of friends who want to combine nature's tranquility together with the town's life. It is located in the picturesque village of Lamyra, only 2 km away from Andros town, known as Chora. There one can find shops, museums, cafes, bars and restaurants. Nearest beaches are 10-15 minute drive away.
