'Almost' Perfect
As a family we holiday in Cyprus a lot - over 30 times in the 33 years since our first visit to the island.
Over the past 10 years, as the family has grown we have changed from staying in apartments/hotels, to renting private villas. We have rented many nice villas but there has always been issues of one type or another, either something quite significant or a long list of small niggly issues.
We don’t look for problems and fully understand the more ‘laid-back’ approach to life in Cyprus, however, when you’re paying the kind of prices we pay, you don’t expect some of the irritating issues we’ve experienced in the past.
So it came as a very pleasant surprise to find absolutely nothing wrong with this villa – not even a light bulb that didn’t work. As we holiday late in August we are usually fobbed of with the excuse ‘it’s late in the season’ and so we should expect the need for various maintenance work to be carried out – but not in this case!
The villa is spacious, clean and has everything you need to enjoy your holiday. It overlooks the east coast meaning you get tremendous sunrises, and the sea is a 30 second stroll away from the rear entrance of the villa.
The photos you find on the HomeAway website are accurate to what you find when you’re there. I have found that often photos appear to exaggerate the size, space, cleanliness or location of a property.
So why ‘almost perfect’?
The location is beautiful, but you do need a car as it’s not a quick walk into the closes town of Protaras.
At around midnight the neighbours sprinkler system come on for around an hour it was quite noisy. This meant we had to close the sliding bedroom doors which leads out to a large balcony area, rather then sleep with it open as we prefer.
There's an old hotel virtually opposite the front of the villa which is either being totally renovated or demolished, and as the builders start work early, even with all the windows closed the noise was too much to sleep through so we were woken up early every morning – despite being in a bedroom facing the sea on the opposite side of the villa from the hotel.
The location won’t change and in many ways you wouldn’t want it to, but the work on the hotel will be completed and so that irritant won’t be around for long anyway….and hopefully the timing of the neighbours sprinkler system can be altered.
Overall it’s a beautiful villa and we had a wonderful holiday. Once the work on the hotel is finished we'd definitely book it again.
