Notes
- Notes on accommodation: This villa is ideal for families as well as for individual adults. Children love the garden, the tennis table and the pool and many of the families and adults who have come to stay, seem not to venture much further afield as they enjoy the peace and privacy of the villa so much. The barbecue and stone table are well used and enjoyed and the spacious garden provides areas for fun, as well as for those seeking peace and tranquility. The position of the villa on a slight rise, means there is usually a gentle breeze to keep you cool during the heat of the day and it is only a 10 minute walk down to the sea and the coastal path. Outside: The pool is very private and surrounded on two sides by a hibiscus hedge. It is 8 metres long and 4 metres wide and the depth ranges from 5 foot to 7 foot so that you can swim throughout. It is newly tiled and very inviting. The area around the pool is paved and there are ample sun loungers plus a large umbrella to keep you cool. As well as flowering plants, the garden has fruit trees, including fig, orange, lime, apricot, pomelo and carob. It extends in gently tiered levels supported by stone walls, to overlook a green valley and the sea. Utility Room: Washing machine, iron and ironing board, washing and cleaning equipment are available. There is an external door that leads on to an outdoor shower and a path to the barbecue area and also to the pool and garden, should anyone have difficulties with the steps down from the patio. There is also outdoor hanging space for clothes. Cleaning / Towels / Linen / Maid service: All linen and towels are provided (beach and bedroom). Tina comes to change used linen and towels once a week. The villa is cleaned thoroughly before your arrival and additional cleaning can be arranged with Tina.

Return Visit
We have stayed at the villa four times now, although there has been a gap between our last visit and this one.
The alterations to the bathrooms was lovely but not much else had changed. Still a lovely quiet location which was much appreciated considering the amount of building that is happening in Cyprus.
The only thing I would mention is that there were a lot of things falling out of the grapevine that bit us constantly.
Overall we had a lovely three weeks at the villa, and thank you Viv for allowing us to stay there again.

Dear Margaret,
I was so glad you were able to come back last year for a really good holiday and that you enjoyed the villa and the new bathrooms! This year we are adding a dishwasher and new TV too.
I was very sorry though to hear that you got bitten. We have now instructed our garner to spray the vine more frequently and this is unlikely to happen again. Thanks for alerting us about this. It is very helpful to know about any concerns so that we can sort out any problems and give our guests as good a holiday as possible. Our decision to add a dishwasher is in response to some of our returning guests now having grandchildren and finding all the washing up a bit exhausting!
I do hope we will have the pleasure of your coming to the villa again soon.
With Best Wishes,
Viv
Lovely Villa
Lovely traditional well maintained villa, with a good size pool, with plenty of sun loungers. The garden is beautiful, just keeps giving. Situated in a very peaceful location.
Thank you Lesley for your review. We are really pleased that you enjoyed the villa, pool and particularly the garden. We try to keep adding to it. Do come again to see!
Best Wishes,
Viv
A beautiful villa to relax in the sun!
This is my third visit to this stunning well appointed villa, within large beautifully maintained mature gardens planted with a wide range of plants and flowering shrubs. There are three good size double bedrooms with two recently refurbished bathrooms. There is a good size pool which is always kept clean. The location up the hill provides stunning views over the sea with a specially located sitting area to make the most of this. It is only a short walk to the centre of Chlorakas, which has just undergone major improvement and where there are good restaurants, in particular the family run, Famagusta and an excellent take away with a good range of kebabs. The local supermarket is now open 24 hours on Saturdays, to accommodate arrival at all times. Chlorakas has several festivals, churches and an open air theatre. It is a short drive to many beautiful beaches, historic sites and other locations. I look forward to returning in the future.
A well appointed and well loved villa
We have just come back from a 2 week holiday in Cyprus. On arrival we had a much appreciated welcome pack which was perfect as we had a late flight. The villa was brilliant, beautifully clean with a fantastic patio area overlooking the pool. We found it really comfortable and perfectly equipped for our 2 week stay with plenty of games to play whilst sitting under the vines on the patio. The villa is really well located to supermarkets, beaches and restaurants.
The garden is a real oasis, we had many happy days relaxing by the pool, playing table tennis and generally watching the wildlife. When we weren’t swimming we loved going for little nature hunts around the garden.
This our 3rd visit and can’t recommend it enough. We love the island and would definitely recommend renting a 4x4 car. A few days were spent out and about, Turtle bay (Akamas Peninsular) was probably our favourite as we were lucky enough to see a baby turtle being released into the sea. Viklari was absolutely amazing and the best BBQ on the island and Latchi a real highlight. Agios Georgios is still a favourite place for a Keo watching the sun go down.
Highly recommended and the owners were really friendly and helpful!
Thanks for your review of our villa. We are very glad you had such a good time and enjoyed the villa and gardens so much. We have plans for further improvements to the garden and hope you will come back to explore again!
Best Wishes, Viv
Great villa, perfect for relaxing
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Lizard Rock. The garden, pool & patio area are really beautiful and private and the terrace is great. Diana for the cleaning & linen change and Andy for the pool did a splendid job and were very helpful. There's a number of decent restaurants within 20 mins walk (Caravelle, Sienna & Famagusta were our favourites) and a very good bus service between Paphos & Coral Bay just 10 mins walk down the hill. Will certainly consider coming back.
We are very glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back in the near future.

About Mrs Viv Peyton
We bought a field and designed the villa ourselves, at a time when only a small proportion of the land could be built on. It has been our much loved holiday home ever since and we have added to the villa and garden over the years. We hope that anyone who goes to stay there, will love it as much as we do.
Mrs Viv Peyton purchased this Villa in 1980
Why Mrs Viv Peyton chose Paphos
We loved the Chlorakas area and it has never disappointed us. It is possible to go to Paphos for more cosmopolitan restaurants and fun but also to be out of the mainstream of tourism and we are well situated for Coral Bay, the Akamas peninsula and over the hills, to go boating and snorkeling at Latchi. Chlorakas itself is a charming village with a beautiful church at its centre, and it has not followed other villages in losing its traditional character. The Famagusta tavern is a short walk away and offers friendly and delicious food and local wine.
What makes this Villa unique
Very few villas for rent in Cyprus have either the size or maturity of garden or the privacy that our villa offers to our tenants. There is shade where needed but also sunny areas for sunbathing, beautiful sea views and a gentle breeze that protects from the heat of the summer in Paphos.
