Villa Azhara is wonderful, supremely clean, and spacious. The thought that the owners have given to the decoration and furnishings is superb. The kitchen is very well equipped and has everything any cook could need and the knives are sharp! We loved our 10 days – great pool, beautiful garden, very comfortable outside sitting area, wonderful sunsets.
The villa’s location is quiet although, had the villa adjacent on the left been occupied, we would have found that a little daunting. The plot on the right has no building. As is the case all over Europe, the local dogs bark from time to time, particularly early in the morning.
We were a party of 8 adults – the tables provided for eating outside only seat 6 but we overcame that with a little bit of furniture moving!
The bathroom to the twin room is not ensuite but very adjacent.
Songul met us on arrival and is a national treasure – utterly charming.
Eating out : Ozankoy : Erol’s was disappointing; Stone Cavern was good. Bellapais : Kybele in the grounds of the monastery was wonderful with delicious food; Bellapais Garden Hotel : food again disappointing but lovely setting. Kyrenia : Azure was fabulous. Set a short distance up the hill from the harbour, with the delightful Venus and her staff.
Food shopping : there are 2 supermarkets on the coast road within easy distance. SAH is “Waitrose” equivalent. Supreme is more like Aldi! Watch out for the sleeping policemen on the way down to the coast road - some are vicious.
There is a lovely walk from the villa to Bellapais up the tiny back roads.
Thank you Adam, Eray and Songul.
