Our third visit to this beautiful villa and it was just as good as it has previously been. Clean, spacious with all that you could need during your holiday. The pool is lovely and only 5 mins from shops and restaurants.

holiday was very good. But we had problems with the address we were given the main address had and N instead of a M which meant satnav was no good we drove around for over 3 hours looking for villa none of the 3 phone numbers answered the many calls.only when we got to someone we knew a few years ago when we stayed did he contact someone and he had to shows us where villa was. Very frustrating and worrying that we have been scammed. The only other issues we had was the safe was closed and even when someone turned up we key it would not open they next day got the code from the previous person which still took 10 goes to open I reset code and then locked with my code. Checked and it took over 10 tries to open so didn’t use in the end. Would think it needs replacing last issues both downstairs showers flooded and we could not use for 3 days when plumber arrive they said that when shower drain had been cleaned and it was not put back together correctly and that was the issue there was no blockage The villa is lovely and pool is great one suggestion is that the hot water easily runs out and with 6 adults we had to take turns for cold showers. So that may need to be looked at there is an immersion heater for morning but we were told no more than 1 hour. So bit hopeless.

Stunning views and tranquility
We had a lovely peaceful stay. Communication and advice was excellent. A technical issue with the fresh water pump was quickly resolved. We hope to return next year.

We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Villa Joanna. We would be delighted to welcome you again next year.
Fabulous house, fab location. Extremely helpful from booking to arrival and departure
Would highly recommend this property. Extremely spacious, everything possible provided for and great location. The owner was extremely helpful and provided us with all the information needed to make our stay perfect. Tahir from the car hire company was equally the same . Will be going back.

Thank you Tina for your very kind review. I'm glad you had an enjoyable stay in Villa Joanna and would love to welcome you and your family back sometime.
I agree that Tahir and all the others at Karapasha car hire company are very good, all my guests talk very highly of them.
Kind regards

This is a fabulous villa - very spacious and spotlessly clean. The bedrooms are large and tastefully decorated, the pool is also a good size and very well maintained. Great views both to the front and rear of the villa. We have stayed in a few villas in Northern Cyprus, all have been very good but this is without doubt the best. Communications from the owner were spot on and all our queries were answered in a very timely manner. Highly recommended

It was pleasure to have you stay and we are so pleased you enjoyed it, thank you and hope to welcome you again in the future.
Renting the villa was straight forward no problem at all!
We arrived at the villa in the early hour's of Sunday 1st September 2019, after a long day we all went straight to our respective rooms and went to bed,
When we eventually got up we had a look around the villa and boy what a lovely villa it is, everything you need is on hand the only thing we had to do was some shopping, it is also well maintained, out the veranda door into the swimming pool which was a welcome relief from the sun, there is quite a bit of land surrounding the villa which is maintained by a gardener. sitting round the patio table watching the sun set is a must, bright red sun slowly disappearing out of sight,
All in all a fantastic villa well maintaine

I'm so glad you all enjoyed your stay in Villa Joanna. We stayed in the villa for a couple of weeks after you left and it was still very warm. The welcome pack we leave should be sufficient for a small snack and breakfast but fortunately the supermarkets are open 7 days a week so it's always possible to do some food shopping after your arrival.. I hope we can welcome you all again to stay in our villa.
We have just had a fantastic stay at Villa Joanna, the villa is huge and so well equipped. We were a family of 4 and had so much space. The WiFi was very good (important with two teenagers!) Sitting out on the terrace looking out across the sea was just the perfect place to relax. The location is so quiet, the pool is beautiful and really well maintained. The owners had kindly left us some provisions when we arrived, which were very much appreciated as we arrived quite late at night. We can’t wait to return as we had the loveliest holiday in this fabulous villa.
There are some great places to eat just a short drive away, and the supermarket is only 5 minutes down the hill.
We hired a car from Karapasha- they were great, very good value and the car was waiting for us at the villa. They also did our airport transfers.
I can’t recommended this villa highly enough- communication with the owners was excellent. This really is a hidden gem.
Villa Joanna was a lovely spot to spend a week. The booking process was easy with loads of information provided via email in plenty of time before our stay. The communication was excellent when in Northern Cyprus also as the Property Manager popped over twice to check all was well.
The villa is lovely, very spacious and very clean. It has everything you'd need and added bonuses such as a water dispenser, air conditioning in all rooms, a lovely outside terrace with wonderful views and a large and again, very clean, pool. We spent our days lazing around in and out of the pool enjoying the BBQ for all meals and the outside shower to cool off.
A short drive gets you into Kyrenia which has a multitude of great restaurants and the coastal road is well worth exploring to visit castles, abbeys and spend a night on the beach looking for turtles (we saw them!)
We know a few people who live in the area and they commented that Villa Joanna was above the typical standard of villa they had seen - and we could see why. You won't be disappointed.
This was our 2nd holiday in Villa Joanna and it was just as we remembered the first.
The villa is situated in a superb area just off the back road between ozankoy and catalkoy, its about a 3 minute drive up to the villa once you turn off the road, so you will need a car.
Once inside the villa there is plenty of open space.
There are two bedrooms upstairs one of which has a safe, the other two are down stairs. one of the room's downstairs is just a small one with two single beds.
The living room is very spacious and comfortable,
Then the dining area and kitchen which have everything you need to walk in and prepare meals if it's not too hot!
From the dining room the patio and swimming pool can be accessed, the patio has a table and chairs where you can chill out and when it gets too hot jump into the swimming pool which is maintained to a high standard.
There are garden's on all sides of the villa which again are maintained to a high standard.
To round off the day you can watch the sun set and what a beautiful sight not to be missed
This is one of the best villas' we have stayed in Cyprus. The views around the villa are amazing, and the medieval abbey in Bellapais can also be seen, especially when it is lit up at night. The villa is in a quite neighbourhood at the top of an housing estate, The villa it self is very large and spacious with a large size swimming pool. It was all good and we would love to stay there again. Highly reccomended.

Ideal for our family reunion
Comfortable and well thought out villa, with all that could be required for a pleasant base near enough to Kyrenia but in an elevated and fairly affluent residential setting.
Location is good, from the point of view of (relative) privacy, but building work on the adjacent plot started at 7.30 am most days, and coupled with a few very vocal dogs, this often interrupted/cut short sleep time.
The pool is nice, but much colder than the sea. Due to a moderate wind at times, a lot of leaf debris accumulated in the water due to an adjacent tree, and this needed dealing with daily (The pool maintenance contract is a twice weekly visit)
The kitchen and bathroom fittings were clearly of a high spec in their day, but are now looking a little tired. We did spend some time cleaning in these areas on arrival, as well as putting most of the crockery and glassware through the dishwasher.
That said, we appreciated the spaciousness and layout of the villa, particularly the options for both sun and shade outside.
The chilled water dispenser is very welcome.
We used the BBQ on 2 occasions, and it worked fine.
Overall, we were very happy with Villa Joanna, and were glad that we chose it.

Hi Peter
Thank you for leaving a review on the HomeAway website. I'm glad that you enjoyed your holiday and had a successful reunion with your family. I have spoken to my agent in Cyprus and asked her to address the issues that you raised. The extension on the adjacent property is almost completed and the tree you mentioned is to have a hard cut back as soon as all my guests have departed in mid November. The swimming pool is not heated and during mid to late October the water can be quite chilly.
Kind regards

It was great!!!
We booked this lovely house at the End of Oktober 2018 and spent a really great holiday there.
It is a very nice house! Lot of space and a wonderfull private pool! We enjoyed staying there very much! Thank you for the breakfast we found in the fridge when we arrived! This was very kind of you.
Everything was clean and in a good condition! The veranda was very nice and at night we enjoyed sitting near by the pool.
One of the 4 bedrooms was very huge with a big bathroom and a special room for cloth. The other 2 bedroms were big als well with ensuite bathrooms.
The kitchen is big and has all the staff you need.
Everything was perfekt!!! The contact with the owner was very friendly and helpfull! Perfekt house for hollidays with a nice montain- and seaview!
The surrounding is quiet and nice.
Thank you very much!

A lovely villa
We were delighted with Villa Joanna, it was exactly as advertised and what we hoped for;it is clean, airy & spacious.
We were a group of 6 across 3 generations and everybody loved the villa.
It has a very well equipped kitchen (not that we used it, the restaurants in the area are great and such good value). The pool and outdoor area we also clean with good furnishings. Pool a bit nippy in mid October though! There are lovely views to the sea from the back and we were able to sit on the veranda and watch a spectacular lightning storm roll in one evening.
Barbara put us in touch with a local car hire company who also did our airport transfers, a seven seater arrived with 45 minutes of us getting to the villa at that was about 8pm.
So:
Do use the car hire company she recommends.
Do use Mustafa to pick you up and run you around in the evening, he is a lovely guys and very reasonable. As others have said his English isn't great but I Whatsapped Tahir from the car hire company who arranged our pick ups with Mustafa after that the restaurant will call him if you give him your number when you need picking up.
Do eat out; Errols, Eminem locally were excellent & authentic & Niazi's in Kyrenia for a full kebab shouldn't be missed.
Do pay the little extra for wifi, Northern Cyprus is not in the EU & Roaming charges will kill you.
Do go to St Helarion Castle the views are spectacular.
No don't's really. We had a great time and if we return to this part of the world would definitely book Villa Joanna.
Thanks Barbara

Perfect place for friends to spend Quality Time Together
Six of us Friends have recently returned from 2 weeks at Villa Joanna.It is the perfect place to unwind and spend Quality Time together.The Villa has everything to make your stay stress free and has all the comforts of home.We did very little apart from eating drinking and relaxing,but you are near Many place of interest.( Bellapais Abbey,Kyrenia,with the Medieval Castle,Turtle Beach,Golf Course at Esentepe ) to name just a Few.You are just a 10 minute car ride from shops and restaurants.Our favourites were Errols and Five Finger Restaurants in Ozankoy Village.And The Kitchen on the Main Coast Road. You do need a Car and it takes a while to get your bearings and find your way back to the Villa.On the first night it took us over 35 minutes to find our way back to Villa.We had visions of having to sleep in the car,but it was all good fun.The pool was a focal point of our holiday,it was kept very clean by the pool man who came several times during our stay .The Garden and orchard were beautiful and they were cared for to perfection by the same pool man.We would have no hesitation in recommending to everyone and would love to return.

Beautiful villa!
We loved Villa Joanna! Wonderfully appointed and comfortable - a real home from home feeling. Dramatic location when the storms rolled in from the mountains behind but the view of the sea remained sunny. A car is essential and Karapasha looked after us well. Would recommend the house without reservation.

I'm so glad that you, your children and grandchild had an enjoyable stay in Villa Joanna. When an occasional electric storm gets up it is great watching the lightning flashes out at sea from the safety of the villa!

Nothing less than 5*
Amazing holiday right from day one, 2 weeks of glorious weather just a little chilly at night (well it was March), we could not get over the views, mountains one window sea the other.
Car hire is essential after getting lost the first few days finding our way back to villa I solved it by using compass on phone to get coordinates input them into sat nav set as home job done. We used Karapasha for car hire reasonable prices 2 weeks hire and transfers to and from Larnaca £290 well worth it, car was waiting at Villa on arrival can't ask for more than that great service.
Ozankoy 25 minute walk and a great English run bar called Bar33 The Old Mill where they do a great Sunday roast with quiz nights and disco during week. Our favourite restaurant in Kyrenia was 6 Brothers just on the edge of harbour great traditional atmosphere and amazing fresh fish caught daily meal for 2 and drinks about £20.
In the evenings we used Mustafa a local guy to transport us to and from Kyrenia and what a gentleman always prompt just tell him what time you want picking up and he is there waiting both ways, you will find his number in the blue information book.
Honestly can't say nothing bad about it.........Enjoy

I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay in Villa Joanna and we would love to welcome you back later in the year.
Just before you arrived we had a problem with the pump and the plumber put in a
temporary one while he sorted out a new one. I assume this was why you could hear the pump from the twin bedded room as we've not had this problem before.
My agent is going to double check that all is back to normal now.
