This was a repeat visit to Villa Marina and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Kathikas is a beautiful village with great restaurants and wineries. We had one small issue with the dishwasher and Marina, the owner, responded very quickly and it was resolved the same day.
We couldn’t have asked for more from our stay, the villa is just lovely, set in a lovely village, with a great host who left us plenty of starter supplies that came in ver handy when we arrived slightly later that hoped. You are not far from several beaches and plenty to do. We visited with 3 children aged 5-11 and they all loved it. The host also has a restaurant in Paphos called the moorings which is a must with great food and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. From there you are within walking distance to some very impressive Roman ruins. Another highlight was the local vineyard. There are two very close to the villa and we visited Sterna winery. They have an ancient cave where they age some of the wine and a short tasting session which lasted just long enough for the children to have cake and ice cream so they didn’t get bored. Would not hesitate to recommend villa Marina to anyone.

Yet again a lovely holiday. A great villa in a lovely village that has a local shop and bars and restuarants. The hosts are amazing, couldnt be more helpful and feel like family. Shops and beaches a short drive away. Would always return to this villa for a holiday!
Villa Marina was superb throughout our weeks familt holuday.
The size of the villa (over 3 levels) was brilliant , the large private pool amazing.
The welcome pack of basic essentials was really appreciated .
I would highly recommend for a family holiday.
Transport is essential as Kathikas is a 10 minute drive from main towns.
Amazing large spacious villa in a perfect location in the small village of Kathikas. Villa had everything you could need, pool great size and well maintained with lots seating area outside to have your pick off. Host really helpful and we had a welcome pack of food and drink that was very appreciated waiting for us when we arrived . There a few small taverns on your door step and food was great with really friendly people. Yianni’s tavern was great with friendly staff amazing food and service and great value for money, would definitely recommend. Also about a 3 minute walk from villa is an oriental restaurants The Farm Yard, again amazing food and fab location .We couldn’t fault the Villa at all and would definitely go back.
We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Villa Marina. It is situated in the beautiful village of Kathikas which has a well stocked shop, a bar and several tavernas. Everyone was so friendly and we were made to feel very welcome. We would recommend Yiannis Taverna where we had several delicious meals in a lovely garden setting. The villa itself was fantastic, it had everything we needed for our stay, was clean and it has a great pool area with a games room/bar. Owner Marina could not have been more welcoming and helpful. We would absolutely recommend a stay at Villa Marina, we can't wait to go back!
Stayed at Villa Marina (group of 6) from 20th June for one week. Good location in small village, close to bars, restaurants and small supermarket all within walking distance. Large spacious villa with all you need. Lovely pool which is cleaned twice a week. Plenty of sun or shade. Host is very nice and helpful. We loved it here and will return when we can! 😎👍
Villa Marina is a beautiful large property. The pool and outdoor area are a definite highlight as well as snooker and table tennis. There are lots of seating areas and the bedrooms are a great size. Marina was very helpful with all my questions and we appreciated the welcome basket greatly as we arrived late to the property. The villa is located within a beautiful village with several dining options and a shop just a very short walk away.
We did find the noise levels a bit disturbing, cockerels and dogs barking at night and building of the road outside the villa during the day. I felt like parts of the villa needed a deep clean but overall we had a very pleasant stay.
Top class value for money villa, set in the hills above Paphos and Coral and just a 20 min drive from either, Lapsi beach is also quite close.
Everything needed was available at the villa, with a reasonable size pool.
There was also a food pack there on arrival, very good for late arrival.
It's set in an authentic village. It's not an overlarge but had a small store (a supermarket was a 10 minute drive away) and a god mix of restaurants.
Marina, the owner, was quick to respond, if required, they also own a restaurant at Paphos harbour which we can thoroughly recommend, visited twice in our 1 week stay.
You will not be disappointed.

Lovely family holiday
We had a lovely relaxing holiday at villa marina.
It was like a home from home everything we needed was there.
On arrival the villa was clean with all the essentials needed to avoid us needing to find a supermarket straight away.
We had planned on lots of sight seeing but our children, aged 16, 11 & 10 just wanted to play in the pool or have a game of table tennis.
Highly recommend the local village tavernas especially Imogen's, added bonus is it's walking distance so you can sample the local wines.
Would also recommend the owners restaurant The Moorings, not walking distance but worth the journey, fantastic food & a menu that means everyone will find something they like; also brill place if you have younger children as there is a play area, great idea.
We had such a lovely time we are hoping to return next summer

It's always great to hear what our customers think of our home.
Making our guests as comfortable as possible is our main concern. We are very pleased that
you felt at home in our villa. It's always a pleasure to have great families looking after the Villa.
It will be great see you again in the near future. A big thank you for a wonderful review and especially
for mentioning our restaurant!
Marina and Panico
The house was a great size - so much room for a family of 5. All 4 bedrooms had air con and tons of wardrobe/storage space. We were there in July and definitely needed the air con. Downstairs was a large lounge/dining area and kitchen. The kitchen really had everything you could need in it. Then in the basement was a full size pool table and outside table tennis table which both got well used. There are 2 cats who visit daily. We are cat people so bought some food for them and fed them outside. They were very good and somehow knew not to come inside the house. The owner Marina left us a welcome pack of bread, milk, cheese, water etc which was much appreciated as we arrived late. The shop in the village is amazing! The couple who run it are lovely and friendly and they literally stock everything! We did a big Lidl shop the first day but just used the village shop after that. We ate out almost every night so it was just food for the day really. Yiannis Tavern in the village was our favourite restaurant there. They give you free bread, garlic bread and a Greek salad each time then delicious home made cheesecake at the end of the meal. Other than that we ate out in Polis or Coral Bay. Highlights other than the Villa were hiring a boat from Latchi for the morning, a local waterfall walk and many visits to Corallia beach. Obviously the pool at the house was a big hit and there were plenty of loungers and shade if needed. Equally there was all day sunshine there.
Nous avions été très satisfait de notre séjour, la maison est vraiment grande et a tout le matériel utile dont on aurait besoin. Le village est vraiment charmant, et l'emplacement est top 👌. Il y a de bons restaurants dans le village, avec une petite supérette ( très pratique ). Et puis nous remercions Marina,la propriétaire qui nous a très bien accueilli, une personne vraiment adorable. Elle a un restaurant à Paphos "the moorings", qui est vraiment délicieux.
Nous recommandons à 100%
Sehr gut eingerichtetes Haus, alles vorhanden, was wir benötigen, um uns rundum wohl zu fühlen. Wir haben speziell die Außenanlagen sehr gerne genutzt. Kathikas ist ein sehr schönes Dorf und viele Ausflugsziele in der näheren Umgebung. Wir waren sehr froh, vom sehr touristischen Paphos entfernt zu sein.
Living in a village ourselves made living in a very small village quite easy, it has Taverns and Bars at the same time being minutes from town and beaches. The property owner was a joy to contact and responded to our every question.
The villa is located in the lovely village of Kathikas in the mountains above coral bay. The village has a local shop and several taverns serving a wide variety of foods. The locals are very friendly. A larger supermarket can be found in Coral Bay (approx 15 mins drive), where there is also a lovely sandy beach.
The villa is spacious and well equipped with everything you would need for your stay.
The villa has a great family size pool and a good garden and bbq area.
The owners are very friendly and couldn't do any more to make our stay any more welcome.
This is a lovely villa for a relaxing family holiday , a car is a necessity.
From the moment we arrived at this property we were impressed. Its was very spacious with great size bedrooms.
The villa was clean and well presented and had a lovely homely feeling.
Great facilities and our children loved the games area and the pool.
The position of the villa was perfect and so close to all the village restaurants and its facilities. If you have never been to Kathikas you are missing out as both the village and this villa have everything you want from a holiday in Cyprus.
We had great communication with the host before and during our holiday and felt reassured that they were contactable if we needed anything.
Up in the mountains in a small village is villa Marina local shops Tavernas just a few minuets walk from the villa excellent communication with the owner who answered all our queries and small problems very speedily very large villa nice sized pool bedrooms all a good size we had very pleasant stay here and I would highly recommend villa Marina
Our 4th summer holiday in Cyprus and hands down the best one!
We were a party of 7 including an 11 & 13 year old. We all had such a lovely time we didn't want to come home. Lovely large, spacious villa with lovely outdoor space. This villa.has everything you could.possibly need. Set in a village location, only 2 minute stroll to the local.shop, cafe and restaurants. Lovely friendly local residents. Due to its higher altitude location there was always a gentle breeze which makes it so much more bearable during the hottest months of the year. The location of the villa was also only a short drive to many lovely beaches, supermarkets and Coral Bay. The owners are a lovely family that were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and made themselves available at any time. Highly recommend this villa and a visit to their restaurant 'The Moorings' in Kato Paphos where we enjoyed 2 lovely meals. We will be returning for future holidays!
We had an amazing time at Villa Marina. The property was very clean and tidy when we arrived and well stocked with everything we could need during our stay. The pool was well kept and we all had a lot of fun in it over the 2 weeks we stayed for! Kathikas is a beautiful little village with several restaurants, cafés and bars to visit and both the staff in these establishments and the locals of the village are extremely friendly. We had a visit from the owner, Panicos, on our second day there to check everything was okay and he was very friendly, and he invited us to visit his restaurant in Paphos harbour, which we did. Very nice food and drink and customer service second to none. The villa is very spacious and beautifully laid out. Would definitely recommend Villa Marina to others. Absolutely 5 stars*****! Thank you for a lovely stay, we'll hopefully be back one day!

A villa built and shared with love!
We have recently returned from our stay at Villa Marina. It was an 'out of season' break and unfortunately, the weather was not kind! However, we could all imagine that this would be an ideal venue for families who want to stay away from the coast and retreat to the quiet of a friendly village.
Although the building has different 'floors' each has a stair gate so that even small children can be kept safe. The pool looked very inviting and has recently been refurbished, however it is not heated and was too cold for us to enjoy.
Marina and her husband are extremely friendly, genuine people who came out of their way twice to put on the central heating for us. Their restaurant, 'The Moorings', in Paphos is well worth a visit - you would not be disappointed by the food, the setting or the welcome!
Although we found some of the fixtures and fittings a little 'tired' ( maybe because this was so early in the year) we would highly recommend this villa and hopefully, will return at a warmer time with a group of friends and family.

Beautiful, well-equipped, spotless and spacious villa that is fantastic for a family holiday
We recently enjoyed a fantastic one-week stay at Villa Marina. We were two families together - our family with children aged 11, 13 and 16 and two adults as well as two of the children's grandparents. The villa was perfect :-) We found the rooms extremely spacious and well-designed to suit the weather with cooling marble-type floors, high ceilings and plenty of large windows that let in a lovely breeze (most days). Although the weather was unusually hot, the villa stayed relatively cool and we could always find a shady spot outside among the wide choice of balconies/terraces/shaded seating areas. The pool was also a great way to cool off, again with plenty of shade provided for those who didn't want to swim. The table tennis, pool table and darts board also made for an easy holiday with a varied age range. We greatly appreciated the well-equipped and maintained kitchen as well as the chance to bbq by the pool.
The village of Kathikas is itself very picturesque, charming and friendly and offers some extremely good opportunities for eating out.
We found Marina to be very quick to react to and answer any questions we had both before and during our stay. We also had the pleasure of meeting Marina's husband who was equally friendly and helpful.
Our only regret is that we hadn't booked to stay longer! Definitely a place we would like to return to if we get the chance. Highly recommended.

Fantastic! Perfect family holiday
We stayed at the beautiful Villa Marina for two weeks this summer. The villa has everything you need for a relaxing carefree holiday. The beautifully cared for garden made the perfect space to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of Kathikas.
Marina made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The games room was great! Cold beers on tap from the fridge allowed us to spend all day outside - only venturing inside to make lunch in the well equipped kitchen. The large villa can accommodate either one large family or two or three smaller ones. It's our (big) secret LOVE IT!

About the host
Hosted by Marina
We are a "youngish" couple who built a lovely home that we cannot live in unfortunately. Thus decided to give other people the opportunity to do so. I'm Marina, short, brown hair, brown eyes. My husband is tall, slightly overweight, grey hair, brown eyes. We have three children, (that are starting to drive us slightly insane) but we love them anyway. I think its important to mention that we are easy going and do not fuss over little things.
Why they chose this property
We decided to build the property in Kathikas because we thought it to be a good investment at the time. We love the village life style, the locals and of course the country side. We actually stay at the villa when we have no bookings during the winter months. My husband loves mushroom hunting, and working in his vineyards. Unfortunately producing grapes is not very profitable thus we have a restaurant in the busy tourist area of Kato Paphos.(making it impossible to live up in the village) Its a place where one can really relax.
What makes this property unique
Villa Marina is a house where one can have privacy without been in the middle of no where! It is entirely enclosed. The swimming pool is private. Everything in Kathikas is in walking distance. The local taverns, the coffee shops, the pub, the local bank. The villa is not situated near any main roads, thus been dangerous for young children, and noisy. The Local church is also very close to the villa all visitors are welcome. In April during our easter time, we have midnight mass which is very interesting to many tourists. August is also a lovely month to visit Kathikas, the local festival takes place round the middle of August where there are traditional dancing, food and of course wine.
