''We had the most amazing time at the villa, everything was completely as described. Location was perfect, very tranquil. Beautiful scenary and close enough to venture to restaurants etc by car
Finnikas in Polis- amazing restaurant.

Could not have asked for better service from yourselves, it has truly been a pleasure, the directions you provided to get to the villa from the airport- absolutely amazing and very easy to find using these. Very informative and nothing was too much hassle at all, i cant thank you enough Steven. When we had to contact they was very prompt. couldnt fault. ''

''We had a fantastic holiday, was just amazing. We would like to give personal thanks to yourself for all of your assistance. It was very reassuring to have, especially during such uncertain times.

Fantastic villa, great outdoor space. Very clean. Welcome pack was amazing and much appreciated. Very private and amazing views. Great location though do need a car (not a problem for us as we love driving and exploring Cyprus) . Only short drive to Polis, Latchi and Steni etc and we love this part of Cyprus as beautiful and feels less touristy than Coral bay and paphos harbour….though we do love coral bay beach and it is feasible to drive to there from this villa.

We loved moustakklis restaurant in polis…so welcoming and lovely food. Also Yialos in Latchi on the beach front….beautiful location for sunset drinks/food and play area for kids. Love Polis square and Latchi harbour, also Lara bay. Lovely gift shop ‘That Nice Shop’ in Polis and also an amazing bakery. Latchi water sports were great, hired a speedboat for the afternoon, great fun and beautiful area/views.

Steven has been amazing and we are incredibly grateful….we will be continuing to use Let’s Rent Online for future holidays. And we would recommend to friends. Katrina was lovely and very welcoming/helpful''

''The villa was fantastic! Well equipped, perfect outside area and fab swimming pool. Great views and very tranquil. We have been to this area before but only on day trips, never to stay. We loved it. Will definitely return. Villa was further out than we are accustomed to but we were happy to drive and only 10min drive to Polis/Latchi. Bit of a drive to Coral Bay. We did this a couple of times but bit of a trek for every day. Police and Latchi are lovely though so no need to travel to Coral Bay all of the time.

Can recommend Moustaklis restaurant in Polis. Great family owned restaurant-very friendly, great with kids. Also Yialos beach bar in Latchi. Wonderful evening right beach, watching sunset. Daughter played in their play area and on beach. Can recommend the Cyprus platter for two..delicious and only 22euros! There is a lovely gift shop in Polis called ‘that nice shop’. We also hired an off road buggy from Petrides in Latchi and spent the day in the Akamas and on the beautiful Lara Bay beach.

Fantastic service from Let’s Rent. Could not fault this. Very personable and sent all of the relevant info with some great discounts for use on holiday. Our villa manager was lovely, very helpful.

We love Cyprus and have visited many times. We will definitely be back and very likely to the same area, quite possibly even the same villa if available.

Many thanks for returning our deposit and for the discount voucher and for the excellent service.

Kind Regards , The Jones Family from England''

''Steven, Firstly, I would like to thank you for your amazing help in finding this wonderful villa and for your continued help during our stay. You are a fantastic agent. Thanks again. The property was amazing, beyond belief. Wonderful. The pool area is unbelievable and probably the most important part of the property. It is beautifully maintained, has a bathroom and a barbeque and table games (ping pong, pool, and fussball). The house is well equipped asw is the kitchen.

The location of the villa was great. The area of the house is mountainous with small villages all around yet it is just a 15 minute ride to the beach and to Polis. The views are fantastic and the quiet is a treat. The local owners were always available and are delightful people. We love being in Cyprus, especially in the area of Polis. This is our third trip as a family. The family has grown and our experiences will bring us back.

We are all fully satisfied with letsrentonline and would certainly be interested in booking through them in other countries should all of us or some of us consider such travel. We would certainly approve of sharing these comments with others on your website. I did not recommend specific restaurants or beaches. Go and explore the area. It is filled with wonderful places.

''Dear Steven, I‘d like to thank you, for your excellent support during booking and afterwards.

We enjoyed our stay at The Retreat Villa tremendously. The Villa is set in a beautiful Garden and offers everything you‘d wish for in a holiday. Even though we‘ve been there with two families, one could always find a place to sit quietly. Our children had a blast with the pool and games and we had many lovely hours at the BBQ.

Katrina, the owner, was ever so friendly and reacted on every wish or question immediately.
There is one smaller supermarket just down the road (5 min by car) and bigger ones in polis with everything you need.
We made a few trips, that were all nice (Boat-Trip to Blue Lagoon, Archeological Parc in Paphos...) but hands down best trip was to Avakas Gorge, where one can hike up a small riverbed with a following Lunch in Viklari Peyia Restaurant up on a hill with breathtaking views overlooking the sea und simple but very good food (booking highly recommended!).

Thanks again for the excellenct service - in my last 10 years of booking holiday homes, I have never had better service. ;-) Kind Regards, Elke

''The Retreat was “first class” accommodation, well equipped and beautifully maintained with an excellent swimming pool. It has everything you need for a fantastic holiday. The location was idyllic with marvellous 360 degree views and surrounded by well stocked fruit orchards. Very private and not overlooked. We enjoyed a number of fantastic meals at the Pantelis near Skoulli. The owner, Paul, was very friendly and welcoming and the meals were very reasonably priced. The service, as always, from LetsRentOnline.Com was excellent. Always prompt to reply to any queries you may have, making the booking process quick and easy. Many thanks to Steven and his team. The owners Katrina and Dimitris were extremely friendly and helpful and always on hand, should you need them, only a phone call away. We wouldn’t change a thing about “The Retreat” it’s PERFECT!! We will certainly be renting a villa in Cyprus next year, can’t wait. You are welcome to use any of our comments or remarks. Many thanks again Steven, we hope to do business with you again for our holiday in 2018. ''

''The property is beautiful, solid and well-maintained. It has something for everyone whatever the age.

Although it may seem that The Retreat is far from anything, it took us literally only 10 minutes by car to Polis & Latchi and about 40 minutes to Paphos. The beautiful thing about the villa location is the incredible peace and silence of the surroundings.

All the beaches along Latchi are great, some sandy, some rocky - plenty of choice. I took the kids for a short hike through the Akamas park, saw the Baths of Aphrodite and it is worth the the trail for the views. Also, Katerina, the owner, gave us a great address in Polis of a fishmonger - we barbecued freshly caught fish at home almost everyday at a fraction of restaurant prices - it is opposite the pharmacy on the Polis main road.

Also Byron's supermarket at the bottom of the road to the villa - really nice man, good place for basics, ice, charcoal, eggs, etc.

It was painless booking with letsrentonline.com. They were very straightforward, flexible, accommodating and swift to answer any queries. I liked the way they sent little updates before our holiday giving us discounts on various restaurants, car hire and watersports.

The owner we met, Katerina, was so helpful and friendly - came right over whenever we needed anything, brought us an extra air mattress for the kids, brought her son to help our kids set up the Xbox games...above the call of duty! She also has great advice on where to eat. Thank you again''


Both Peristerona and ‘Steni' village centres are just 1-2km away from 'The Retreat' and where you will find a taste of the 'Real Cyprus'. With their mini-markets selling fresh organic produce, coffee shops and restaurants/tavernas as well as the friendly locals, you won't have to travel far to get the most out of your holiday.

Slightly further afield, you will find further amenities such as larger supermarkets, pharmacy, petrol station, and the more extensive choice of bars, restaurants, shops etc in Polis (8km). The nearest beach is at Latchi (12km) which is well known as one of the best on the island. You can relax and sun-bathe on the golden sand by the crystal clear waters, sit in the marina and enjoy lunch eating the day's fresh catch or for the more adventurous there is a great choice of water sports available for all the family.

Golf: Please ask us for golf information. 4 courses in easy driving distance.

Ski: Skiing at Troodos- 50km.
