Prior to arrival, we had excellent communication with Karen and Dexter who provided lots of advice regarding the suitability of the villa in relation to our needs. We had decided to hire a car to explore and Karen and Dexter were very helpful in recommending a local company and providing directions to the villa.
On arrival at Villa Katerina, we accessed the key safe without issue and upon entering were very impressed with the layout and the facilities offered. There was milk, bread, butter, cheese and ham in the fridge which was great as we arrived late at night. Jackie, the villa manager arrived the following day to ensure we had settled in and we had everything we needed.
Villa katerina is located in a quiet residential area however, is only a couple of minutes drive to the village of Peyia with it's many tavernas, restaurants and supermarkets, making this a very convenient location for us as we were travelling with two young children. It is also only a 15 minute drive to Coral bay and a 35 minute drive to Paphos Airport. it provided a great base to explore the surrounding areas such as the Troodos Mountains, Aphrodite's Rock, Tombs of the Kings, the beach and harbour.
The villa is very spacious and has everything needed to ensure an enjoyable and relaxing stay. It was lovely to spend time on the large balcony, relaxing with a glass of wine. The large pool suited our needs perfectly and was a big hit with the children who enjoyed having it all to themselves stating, 'we like the pool best'. The pool is cleaned during the week early on a morning so this did not interrupt our enjoyment.
This was our first time using a villa and we thoroughly enjoyed the change of pace from the large all inclusive resorts we have previously visited. This also felt like a very safe option during the current COVID-19 situation. We would not hesitate to recommend this villa to families and couples who are looking for a relaxing holiday and an ideally located villa to visit the many sights and attractions in the area. We hope to return in the future.
Thank you Karen and Dexter.
