About this property

5-bedroom villa with private swimming pool and incredible mountain & beach views

Villa Caretta is fully furnished and equipped with all modern conveniences, including strong Wi-Fi coverage throughout the property.

The villa can accommodate up to 11 guests in beds, with an additional guest on a futon bed and up to 2 more guests on the living-room sofas.

All windows are double-glazed and fitted with fly screens. They are also covered with one-way privacy film, preventing the interior from being seen from outside during daylight hours.

There is parking for up to 5 cars, including 3 spaces under pergola cover.

The private swimming pool is set within a lawned garden and enjoys uninterrupted views over the valley to the east and south. The pool area is completely secluded. The neighbouring villa is currently unoccupied and, in any event, has no direct view of the swimming pool or garden.

Perched on a hilltop with the spectacular Five Finger Mountains as its backdrop, Villa Caretta enjoys panoramic views towards Alagadi Turtle Beach, home to the famous Caretta Caretta loggerhead turtles. Widely regarded as one of the finest sandy beaches in Cyprus, the 3-kilometre stretch of public beach is less than one mile away and can be reached on foot in approximately 15 minutes.

To the west, just 3 km away, is the 5-star Elexus Resort, where visitors can enjoy luxurious facilities including private beaches, pier decks, swimming pools, restaurants, and an aqua park. Further east, approximately 6 km away, lies the Acapulco Resort, renowned for its long sandy beach.

Golf enthusiasts will appreciate the Korineum Golf & Beach Resort, located only 6 km away (approximately a 6-minute drive). The resort's beautifully maintained beach is one of the area's hidden gems and is open to non-members, offering all the facilities expected of a premier golf resort.

Beyond Korineum stretches the unspoilt Karpaz Peninsula, a protected nature reserve famous for its natural beauty and wildlife.

For everyday shopping, Tarsan Supermarket is located 1.5 km to the east. The store is well known for its fresh produce sourced from its own organic farm. A smaller grocery shop is located 2 km to the west, adjacent to the Elexus Resort, and stocks a full range of alcoholic beverages.

The nearby village of Alagadi, just 1.5 km away, offers several restaurants serving freshly caught fish and traditional Cypriot and Turkish cuisine.

The historic harbour town of Kyrenia is only 16 km away, with an extensive choice of shops, cafés, bars, and restaurants along the route and in the town centre itself.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa and would happily recommend it to future guests. The views are absolutely stunning, and the outdoor space was one of the real highlights — such a lovely place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.The villa itself is incredibly spacious, with plenty of room both inside and out, making it a very comfortable place to stay.Our host Sel was fantastic — so welcoming, helpful and accommodating throughout our stay, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.We would definitely recommend hiring a car, as it makes getting around and exploring the surrounding area much easier.Thank you for a lovely stay and for making us feel so welcome. We have some very happy memories to take home with us!!

We had such a wonderful stay at this villa and came away with some really special family memories.The villa itself was beautiful and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing week. The pool was absolutely fantastic and was definitely one of the highlights for us — the children loved it! The air conditioning was brilliant, especially in the Cyprus heat, and having a washing machine, large fridge freezer and TV with Netflix made it feel like a real home away from home.The villa gave us a lovely base for our week in Cyprus, with plenty of space for us all to relax and enjoy some much-needed family time. We felt comfortable and settled very quickly and genuinely enjoyed coming back to the villa at the end of each day.What really matters to us is the memories we made there. We had an amazing week, and the villa played a big part in making our trip so enjoyable.We would happily recommend it to other families looking for somewhere to stay in Cyprus and would definitely returning in the future.Host was also great with fantastic communication, easy to get a hold of and nothing was too much trouble. We were well accommodated.Thank you for a fantastic stay!

First Family villa holiday

Highly recommend this villa if you are looking for a beautiful villa with a spectacular view in a central location. This was our first villa holiday having previously stayed in hotels and it will not be our last and it was so relaxing. The owner was very helpful, and quick to reply to requests. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful house in a fantastic location

We stayed here for 12 nights and had the best time! The house large, spacious with full A/C and a great layout The pool, although chilly due to the time of year that we visited was amazing and perfect for afternoon swims The garden got sun throughout the day whether it was for coffee in the morning or laying on the loungers throughout the day The local cats were great company for the children Sel has been super helpful all throughout the process whether it was answering questions about the house, organising transportation from Larnaca and a hire car delivered to our house. His communication was superb We will definitely be back

Wonderful Holiday

This was our eighth stay in Northern Cyprus and we loved the spacious villa, the pool was big enough for six adults, the garden is well maintained and the views to the mountains and sea were lovely. It was good to have restaurants nearby and the bonus of the beach just 5 mins away by car if anyone fancies doing some snorkelling. The host was excellent and very attentive and any questions we had were answered straightaway. The host popped in a couple of times to make sure everything was good. Would highly recommend Villa Caretta. Thanks Sel

Stunning villa

If you are looking to stay in a villa in northern cyprus this is the one. The villa is stunning and spacious, over looking some beautiful views. Everything from the comfy beds to perfect outside furniture, just could not be faulted in any way. Great communcations with the host. Instant replies and arranged all airport transfers and hire car, we didnt have to stress about anything. A car is however essential here as no shops etc within walking distance. If we are lucky enough to return to northern cyprus we will defo be booking this villa again. Thank you sel

Excellent property with wonderful views

The property had everything we needed to have a wonderful, relaxing and comfortable stay. The pool is big enough for kids to play and the less strenuous of the party to float around in. The covered seating & BBQ area is perfect for a shaded time but close enough to the pool to see what was going on at all times. The beds are very comfortable and clean linen was provided at the midpoint of our stay. The owner visited and was very pleasant and helpful, giving us some good tips for things to do and places to visit along with restaurant recommendations. The property is a little out of the way but there is a petrol station selling the basics nearby and the main supermarket is only a 10 minute drive away. We had a wonderful time at the villa and will likely return for our next visit.

Beautiful property in a beautiful location with a helpful host!

Great family home in a stunning location which was the perfect backdrop for a memorable holiday for my sisters, parents, wife, kids and I. Sel greeted us shortly after we arrived to show us around and gave us a lot of useful local information. He was quick to respond and resolve any queries we had. The only slight hiccup was that the floors downstairs werent mopped properly which we discovered after my neice crawled about on them. We informed Sel about this whislt checking out and he assured us this will be rectified in the future. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful Holiday

Great experience from the booking process onwards. Superb communication, tips and support from Sel, who was so accommodating. Transfers and hire car were organised for us; everything ran very smoothly. The property has everything you need for a comfortable stay: great showers, very well equipped kitchen and air con. The garden is wonderful with a good sized pool and a beautiful sea view from your lounger. Sel has left a handy guide book with recommendations for local restaurants, beaches etc - none of them disappointed. We loved Denizkizi beach, great for swimming/snorkelling and very safe for the children; the sea was lovely and warm. We also used the facilities at the nearby Elexus hotel, which has a water park and private beach at a reasonable price. The local people are so friendly, we ate in restaurants most evenings as the food was great at an even better price. You definitely need a car, but Sel is very helpful in arranging this. Overall an amazing holiday. We would love to come back.

Beautiful villia with amazing views!

Just returned home from a beautiful holiday, Where Me, my mum and my Nan stayed in sel’s brand new villia! The villia itself is modern and has everything you need on a daily basis! My personal choice for when I look to book a villia would be - Amazing aircon units - A comfortable bed - Clean/New villia - The view And at this villia I had all of them! So I would absolutely return again! Large outdoor space with bbq was brilliant, very quiet location, 5 minutes to the beach and only a 8 minute drive to the main strip of shops and supermarkets! Sel the owner of the villa was extremely helpful! If we ever needed anything he was not far away! Sel is a lovely guy and likes to please people therefore this made our holiday easier! So to sum up our holiday we give the villia 5 stars and will definitely be returning back again, Thank you Sel for making our stay the best it could have been!! ☀️ 😊☀️ Brooke, Sammy, Diane
