Beautiful mature villa with large gardens, private pool and incredible sea view.
Our family villa has a large mature garden with shaded patios and seating areas, as well as a lovely pool protected from view by flowering hibiscus and extensive bougainvillea hedges. The sea view from the garden and patios is really beautiful. The villa is situated half way up a gentle rise from the sea to Chlorakas village, so a light breeze shields you from the heat of the day. It was built when only a small area of the plot could be used and so gives a wonderful sense of space and peace. Chlorakas village has retained its traditional style with a wonderful church at its centre and a number of friendly tavernas, as well as more modern bars, all within easy walking distance of the villa. The sea is a 10 minute walk away and the beautiful sandy beaches of Coral Bay and the Akamas Peninsular, a short drive or bus ride away, as is Paphos in the other direction along the lovely coastal road. The villa is spacious and well equipped with Internet access and a TV and Minix box that allows you to access all UK TV channels, films and series plus access to additional platforms through your personal prescriptions. There is also a radio/ CD player and a variety of games. We for years did not include a TV as our own boys after some resistance really enjoyed playing games! The living room is large and has two sets of sliding French windows that open onto a large patio, well shaded by grapevine and bougainvilia. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well designed for comfort and privacy as they are separated from the living room with wooden sliding doors, making it possible during the hot summer months, to keep them cool whilst still being able to move freely from the lounge to the patio. All bedrooms and the living room are also fully air conditioned when needed. The kitchen is well equipped with a dishwasher included. There is a round wooden table with 4 chairs should you want to eat inside at any time during your stay. The adjoining utility room with separate sliding door, houses a washing machine, an ironing board and iron, the barbecue equipment and also a large cupboard full of adult and child beach and pool toys for your enjoyment. There is a table tennis table outside with its own paved area and the barbecue is built in under a raised flowerbed which boasts 4 orange trees. Our villa is well maintained by our agent Diana whose cleaning is second to none, and Marius looks after both the pool and the garden and so keeps a close eye on both! Our large garden provides many seating areas, spectacular views of the sea, shade when needed and plenty of sunbathing opportunities.

Lovely villa set in beautiful gardens. House is spacious, well equipped and clean. Garden has a few seating areas and is equipped with a BBQ, table tennis and boulles. A short but steep walk leads up to the village which has a number of tavernas and a few grocery stores. A 10 minute walk downhill takes you to the bus stop for local transport. We enjoyed the coastal walk into Paphos which took us an hour and 20 minutes. Diana the agent was really helpful and friendly. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this beautiful villa and would love to return.
Perfect for relaxing, no need to go out if you didn’t want to. Kitchen had everything needed for those home cooked meals.

Delightful villa in gorgeous surroundings. Gardens and pool are beautifully maintained and the villa is very well laid out and a perfect place to spend a relaxing holiday. The coastal path walk into Pathos is beautiful with stunning views.
The garden was absolutely beautiful, a very relaxing place to chill. Great position with lovely views and great bus service to Paphos and Coral Bay. The villa had everything we needed and the pool was very clean and a good size.

Hi,
Thanks for your lovely review. We are very glad you enjoyed the garden and pool and the villa provided everything you needed. It is in a good position between Paphos and Coral Bay and this was one of the reasons we bought the field there and then decided to build the villa!
We hope to see you again in the near future.
Best Wishes,
Viv
We had an amazing holiday at Lizard Rock! Beautiful villa and gardens, with large private pool and patio areas. Everything was provided that was needed for our holiday and all in a spotless condition. The host was easy to contact, a pleasure to deal with, and provided all the information we needed ahead of our trip. The sunsets from the patio/pool area every evening were stunning too. This was our first visit to Cyprus and Lizard Rock was a perfect home from home for us. We hope to return one day!!

Lizard Rock stands out as just a beautiful place to stay in Cyprus, with a stunning garden, and terraces to sit and relax and enjoy the view of the sea. Communication from Viv is very good and she and Diana, the agent, are so friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful week.

A well maintained villa in a quiet location with a lovely mature garden offering shade throughout the day. The pool was ideal and spotless with the water quality very good. Overall a perfect villa for a family holiday with everything that you would need for your stay. Bus routes and various cafes and restaurants in easy walking distance but we hired a car to explore other areas too.

Lovely spacious villa set in stunning gardens. The owners are really helpful as is Diana who manages the property. The pool is large and very well maintained. Bedrooms are comfortable with air conditioning. The kitchen/lounge could do with an air con unit but you do get a lovely sea breeze in the day which is most welcome. It’s a nice peaceful area and you will need a car. Taxi into Kato Paphos is 15 euros & similar the other way to Coral Bay. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely visit again.

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.

Lizard Rock Villa is in a quiet residential area, 10 mins walk to bus stops into Paphos and up the coast to Coral Bay. There's a short but steep hill just before the villa which continues up to a little village with coffee shops and welcoming tavernas. The supermarket is 1km further, flat and easy to walk with shopping in back packs if you go when it's cooler.
The villa is very spacious and homely, with quiet but efficient air con in the bedrooms, and comfy beds. We prepared several meals in the well equipped kitchen and then enjoyed them with a drink during sunset on the terrace. The pool and surrounding gardens are beautiful, making the villa feel extra private and relaxing.
Thank you for the welcome pack and to Diana for calling in, and promptly answering my texts. Everything was spot on for us. Top marks, thank you!

Dear Laura,
Thanks so much for your review. We are very happy that you enjoyed staying at Lizard Rock and really appreciate the time and thought that you put into your review. It gives a great description of all that a stay at Lizard Rock has to offer. Do come again! Yours, Viv
This spacious villa ticked all our boxes. Great location for our needs. The villa was extremely well equipped with a lovely welcome pack. Superb grounds and all well managed by Marius and Diana. Within walking distance of the village centre with a variety of kiosks,bars and takeaways. Would highly recommend The Local for bingo or quiz or Sunday roast. Also fabulous view of the sunset while sitting on the veranda. Would definitely stay again when returning to Paphos.
The only downside is a huge tree behind the villa which secretes a sticky sap which covered the side paths! Making it basically unusable to come down the right side of the villa without getting leaves stuck firmly on your feet. Apparently this happens in September!
But all in all fabulous stay x

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your lovely review. I am very glad that you had such a good time at the villa and enjoyed the village. We do enjoy the mixture of restaurants and Tavernas. They have managed to improve the village without losing the charm.
It is a shame about the Sap. Marius does his best to clear it but other than chopping down the tree, we are rather stuck! As you say it is in September that the sap strikes and the rest of the year, the tree is lovely. Of course in other ways September is a great time to come with slightly cooler weather and less busy!
I do hope you can come back soon. We would be delighted. I will pass on your comments to Diana and Marius. We are lucky to have them.
Best Wishes,
Viv
What a lovely way to spend two weeks!!
Probably one of the best villas we have stayed in in terms of facilities, layout and view
A hire car is definitely recommended to make the most of your holiday and we spent a lot of time travelling around Troodos mountains, aphrodites rock,Omordos,Kourion and over to Latchi where we hired our own boat to visit the Blue Lagoon ( go early avoid the big boats)
Plenty of restaurant choices we only ate at Paphos harbour twice preferring Oniro by the sea and the highly recommended Michios tavern just a short walk from the villa - they only open Friday and Saturday but a fantastic meze
And at the end of every adventure Lizard Rock awaits
A spectacular pool , gorgeous gardens and comfortable beds , didn’t have time to read but a great book selection, game selection and a tv if that takes your fancy but we enjoyed nothing better than watching the sunset each evening while sat in the gardens
Thanks Viv

Wonderful Relaxing Holiday
I can't recommend Lizard Rock Villa highly enough.
It was literally a little corner of paradise.
The villa itself is well appointed, spotlessly clean and beautifully cool.
The weather was amazing and perfect for relaxing by the pool, lizard watching, playing table tennis, boules or cooking a delicious lunch on the bbq which we ate on the terrace overlooking the sea.
The gardens are stunning and filled with fruit trees and bushes - oranges, lemons, grape vines, mango... The smell in the garden is heady and floral.
The villa looks directly west which means we watched the sun set and sink away. Just incredible.
It is well placed for Coral Bay with it's white sandy beach and azure waters, Pathos which has a harbour full of restaurants and ice cream parlours plus a new large shopping mall, the Troodos Mountains and numerous vineyards and historic sights.
Very much hoping to go again next year!

About the host
Hosted by 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.
Why they chose this property
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 property 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.
