We stayed at the villa in August for 7nights - our only complaint is that we didn’t book long enough!! The villa was perfect for us. Very well equipped, really clean, beautifully furnished - literally everything we had hoped for - and more.
1. Outdoor areas were perfect, plenty of places to eat, relax, sunbath, cook, play - and in a beautiful setting
2. Not overlooked. The house is slightly elevated at the rear so we could sunbath uninterrupted
3. Air conditioned - though the air con does click off at night after 2 hours so you need to put it back on if it is a hot season (we actually bought a standard fan from the supermarket for €20 which did the job perfectly
4. The directions to the property could have been better. We arrived at night and it was pitch black. If the directions had said “once you reach the crest of the hill, you will see the Dive Centre, turn left immediately in front of it and after 150yds turn right into an unmade road - the villa is the one on the right, directly facing you”, we would have found it straight away
5. The villa has a washing machine and a dishwasher - so take a few washing pods for each, with you
6. There is a supermarket less than 5 mins walk away, walk out of the villa, turn right at the end of the road and follow the path down towards the Coral Beach Hotel. There is also a much bigger supermarket a 5 min drive away which literally sells EVERYTHING including English brands like Sainsbury’s and Tesco!
7. The property maintenance guy, Paul, visited every couple of days and was very approachable and helpful
8. If you have a late flight home, book an extra night, it will be worth it. We didn’t and ended up booking somewhere in Paphos to get showered - it was a hovel!
8. Hire a car if you can - we didn’t use ours much because the villa was so awesome we just cooked there nearly every night, but it was nice to have it for trips to the supermarket etc
9. When we arrived there was water, fresh juice, milk and coffee/tea - as well as just enough washing up liquid etc - a great start when you’ve been travelling all day and just need a cuppa.
10. You can buy big bags of ice from the supermarket and there is a full size freezer in the house so no need to risk freezing the local water.
We absolutely loved this house and would fully recommend it - there were only two of us but it is easily big enough for 6 people and an infant. We would love to come again if the opportunity arises!
