The adjacent dining/breakfasting area is equipped with a wooden table and eight chairs. The fully equipped kitchen has all modern appliances including washing machine, dishwasher, large fridge/freezer, oven, gas hob and extractor hood, microwave and many other extras. Patio doors from the dining area open out onto the beautifully kept lawn area with play equipment for young children. A terrace with table a chairs overlooks and is an alternative setting for casual or formal dining. A door from the kitchen leads out to the villa's private pool.

The spacious pool terrace is nicely equipped with 8 large sun loungers that benefit from large overhanging parasols and drinks tables as well as a choice of casual seating.

Slightly further afield, you will find further amenities such as larger supermarkets, pharmacy, petrol station, and the more extensive choice of bars, restaurants, shops etc in Polis (8km). The nearest beach is at Latchi (12km) which is well known as one of the best on the island. You can relax and sun-bathe on the golden sand by the crystal clear waters, sit in the marina and enjoy lunch eating the day's fresh catch or for the more adventurous there is a great choice of water sports available for all the family.

Golf: Please ask us for golf information. 4 courses in easy driving distance.

Ski: Skiing at Troodos- 50km.

''Let’s Rent Online continues to impress with their consistently excellent service and communication. The information provided is always clear, helpful, and easy to follow, which makes booking and preparing for a trip seamless.

The property, The Retreat, was outstanding — spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a swimming pool that was noticeably larger than most. The location was perfect: very private and secluded, yet conveniently close to local bars, restaurants, and the beach.

There were several standout dining options nearby. The Stone Lion is a popular choice, especially on weekends, with generous portions and a dessert menu full of exceptional homemade cakes. The Watermill Café in Steni offers good food at reasonable prices, just a short distance from the villa. Moustakallis in Polis never disappoints, serving consistently high-quality meals with a warm welcome from the family and staff.

Local support was also exceptional. Katrina, the local manager, was incredibly kind and welcoming — nothing was too much trouble. The thoughtful welcome pack and personal touches really added to the experience.

I always recommend Let’s Rent Online to any friends thinking of going to Cyprus. Once again, they’ve delivered a flawless holiday experience.''

''We all had a truly lovely time in Cyprus—nobody wanted to return home at the end of our stay! Rest assured, we will definitely be back.

To answer some of your questions:

The villa, The Retreat Villa, was exceptional. The villa itself was excellent—well maintained, comfortable, and fully equipped. The outdoor areas were also beautifully kept. The pool was wonderful—large enough for five adults to enjoy comfortably. The pool table got plenty of use, though it is showing its age a little and could benefit from a bit of an upgrade or restoration. That said, we happily made do with its quirks.

The location was perfect for us. We openly admit we’re not party people and prefer peace and quiet. The Retreat Villa was ideally situated—remote enough to offer tranquillity, yet close enough to Polis for grocery shopping during the day and dining out in the evening.

We would recommend Papantoniou Supermarket in Polis, which is only about 9km from the villa. It stocked everything we needed for our self-catering holiday and had a great mix of familiar products and local brands.

We also highly recommend Moustakallis Tavern and Restaurant in Polis. We enjoyed it so much we ended up dining there every night! The prices were reasonable—around €125 each night for five adults including starters, mains, and drinks. Two members of our group are gluten intolerant, and the menu was clearly marked with allergens. The staff were incredibly accommodating and happy to adapt dishes to suit dietary needs. Service was impressively swift: starters arrived within five minutes of ordering, and mains followed promptly after. We never felt rushed, and Andreas was always available to assist or answer questions. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him or his team.

The service and communication from both yourselves and Katrina were excellent and couldn’t be faulted.

All in all, we had a wonderful stay in Cyprus. We’ll definitely be back, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book through LetsRentOnline again—or to stay at The Retreat Villa a second time.

Thank you for a truly memorable holiday.

Warm regards,
Adrian & Family ''

Great Villa

Booking process easy enough. Our only problem was that when we turned up at the villa the owners daughter was living there so the property was not ready or clean for us. The owners did turn up and sort out the villa for us to stay in and came back the next day to clean the whole property. The villa is wonderful though and the pool amazing.

Outstanding in every way

The property is beautiful, solid and well-maintained. It has something for everyone whatever the age. We were 5 adults with five kids ranging in age from 2 to 10 and they were all catered for. Although it may seem that The Retreat is far from anything, it took us literally only 10 minutes by car to Polis & Latchi and 40 minutes to Paphos. The beautiful thing about the villa location is the incredible peace and silence of the surroundings. All the beaches along Latchi are great, some sandy, some rocky - plenty of choice. I took the older kids for a short hike through the Akamas park, saw the Baths of Aphrodite and it is worth the trail for the views. Also Byron's supermarket at the bottom of the road to the villa - really nice man, good place for basics, ice, charcoal, milk, eggs, etc. It was painless booking online with HomeAway. They were very straightforward, flexible, accommodating and swift to answer any queries. I liked the way they sent little updates before our holiday giving us discounts on various restaurants, car hire and watersports. The owner we met, Katerina, was so helpful and friendly - came right over whenever we needed anything, brought us an extra air mattress for the kids, brought her son to help our kids set up the Xbox - all beyond the call of duty! She also has great advice on where to eat. Katerina gave us the address in Polis of a fishmonger - we barbecued freshly caught fish at home almost everyday at a fraction of restaurant prices - it is opposite the pharmacy on the Polis main road. Thank you again,

Our week at The Retreat

Arrived fairly late and tired, once we had managed to sort our hire car at the airport and rush to a supermarket to buy some essentials. What a lovely villa The Retreat is. The Villa was immaculate and there was a welcome pack of food including bread, spread, cheese, ham, milk, water, coffee, tea and sugar. There was also a huge bowl of fruit and some much-appreciated wine. On seeing the villa in the daylight the following day we were not disappointed, the views were stunning and the sunbathing area and swimming pool were just as shown on all the websites. When there was a problem with the TV not working and the safe being locked, Katherina and Dimitri couldn't have been more helpful and came out straight away to sort out any problem. The villages of Polis and Latchi are very close and the beach at Polis was very quiet with a cafe and toilets. Latchi seems to be an up and coming village/town and the harbour area is lovely - when you find it! Great meal in Faros, Latchi - look out for the waiter with the unusual accent and try to work out where he is from! Agios Georgios is pretty for a visit and a quiet sit on the harbour. Would advise you avoid the mountain roads unless you are very brave and certainly if it is dark - what a scary experience that was, dirt tracks (with occasional road signs) on the road out of Pomos! We had lovely weather too with cloud on only one day and it was the end of October. Would thoroughly recommend The Retreat as a break away from it all. Many thanks to the owners for this lovely villa and ensuring we had a restful holiday.
