We booked this villa through The Villa Group, and the booking process and updates were good. On arrival, the villa was exactly like the photos if not better. The bedrooms are large and airy with wonderful views. The A/C in the bedrooms made a huge difference in July but during the day the villa remained cool with the windows open. The BBQ and pool were well used and despite being close to the village the silence in the evening was amazing. Thanks again to Lynn, the property manager, for her help and advice during our stay, on arrival the villa was lovely and clean and the welcome pack was very appreciated. Looking forward to next year.

It was very beautiful and peaceful place! I would recommend it for others.
Kristian (May, 2023)
We would like to recommend the Villa to stay for all who prefer comfortable and independent holidays. The house is very nice and friendly organised, private pool is a real treasure during the hot season, the location is central so it is easy to get Polis or Paphos. Quite and picturesque place is perfect for family holidays. We love it!!!
Tatiana (May, 2023)
This is a great destination for families, couples or friends to get away yet still have the option to experience everything Cyprus has to offer. The interior is spacious and airy, well equipped and the photos don’t do it justice.
Peter (May, 2023)
We had an amazing time here on our honeymoon. Chris and Dee greeted us and were on hand throughout the stay to message if we needed them. Definitely need a car but it gives great freedom to explore the local area. We loved visiting Polis, Moustakallis Tavern and the Polis Herb Garden restaurants are definitely worth a visit! We also had a brilliant boat trip at the Blue Lagoon and enjoyed Avakas Gorge (take a look on TripAdvisor for advice on where to park for the Gorge). April was the perfect time to stay, lovely weather for using the pool but cool enough to explore the local area. Thank you again, highly recommend!
Molly (May, 2023)
Delightful stone villa in beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The view from the master bedroom was stunning. We were not overlooked and the pool was great to relax and eat by, albeit a little chilly to swim in at the moment. Maybe we are getting soft! There was a constant chatter of mostly sparrows but also Cetti’s warblers, swallows, wrens, green finches and linnets. Two types of lizard live around the pool and veranda. The smaller one wasn’t shy to show itself but at any sign of movement from us they would scuttle under the decking at lightning speed. The downstairs area had a large kitchen and dining area. The sitting room had two comfy sofas and a fine log burner that we fired up a few times using only wood and pine cones we picked up on our travels.
Alice (April, 2023)
What a beautiful haven we got to stay in. The house is just stunning and in the most picture perfect surroundings. We did not want to be in the hustle and bustle and instead wanted calm - this was just that. The house is larger than we expected and it has been taken care of exceptionally. The biggest thank you and shout out to Dee and Chris who welcomed us and were on the end of the phone should we need anything. The care they took to the building was wonderful and the welcome gifts went down a treat when the weather didn’t play ball! I would return to Cyprus purely to stay at this house. Thank you
Jennifer (April, 2023)
Lovely spacious secluded villa in a beautiful valley.
Michele (March, 2023)
It’s well located and well taken care of. Clean and comfy. Close to the village and with ample privacy and coziness. Dee and Chris are exceptional hosts. They made us feel right at home. We loved it and fully recommend it.
Lahav (February, 2023)
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful Villa in the quaint town of Giolou. We were warmly greeted by Chris and Dee and they made us feel right at home. They even gave us some nice staples to get us through the first day. We enjoyed the peaceful, serene surroundings. Even though it was too cold to swim in the pool we still relaxed around it and spent a lot of time outside. We found it to be conveniently located to a lot of great places to explore. We highly recommend this place to anyone.
Kristen (December, 2022)
We had a wonderful stay, the villa exceeded our expectations, and my wife already wants to return for a longer stay. It was well suited as a base for exploring as well as having quiet days by the pool.
Jason (October, 2022)
Thanks for such a great stay! Everything was great in the villa, we are very impressed with the facilities and well equipped the villa was - it was like a home from home! The location was stunning and easy distance to beaches, attractions and other towns with a car (which is essential). Although, we could have quite easily stayed round the pool all day. Would highly recommend for tourists looking to experience an authentic and quiet stay away from any hussle or bustle. Overall we loved staying here and somewhere we would consider staying again! Thank you!
Bethany (September, 2022)
Superb stay, villa is very well kept and very clean. So much bigger in life than shown in pictures. Great communication all round. Dee and Chris who care for the villa are fantastic and nothing is a problem. When we arrive late at night lights had been left on which made it easier and a love welcome pack of essentials was much appreciated. Thanks Dee and Chris great choice of items, Water, bread, coffee, tea, wine etc etc. A car is definitely need to get around. This villa was like a little bit of paradise hidden away... But not totally isolated, with a car the island was your oyster to come and go travel near and far with easy. Would definitely recommend.
William (August, 2022)
Our stay couldn’t have been better, it is such a beautiful villa in a stunning location. The villa was well equipped & we absolutely loved the under cover terrace to chill & eat outside. The pool was a great size & perfect for cooling off in the hot sun! The bedrooms were fabulous with really comfortable beds & the air conditioning was very welcome! The view from the balcony was stunning, a lovely place to have pre dinner drinks. We really didn’t want to leave 😊
Jane (June, 2022)
House is gorgeous, feels spacey, luxuriou, private and offers an amazing view over hills and orange orchards. The location is ideal to take trips to the seaside or to the mountains and very close to local supermarkets and restaurants. We had a lovely time there and would recommend this place anytime to friends and family!
Waldemar (April, 2022)
The house is absolutely stunning. So much bigger than it looked on the photos. It had everything we needed. Even a lot of pool play stuff, a lot of towels etc. I highly recommend a stay in this beautiful place!
Maxi (April, 2022)
A really spacious house with two large bedrooms with a balcony, a huge living, dining and kitchen area, and pool area with a patio, grill and outside dining facilities. The location is great with easy access to both Paphos and the North coast. The immediate surroundings are quiet and rural, with orange orchards in close vicinity and views to the mountains. We stayed in early March when the weather was quite chilly but the house has electrical heating facilities to keep you reasonably warm, and a fireplace to provide comfort. The house is in immaculate condition and has everything you need.
Partel (March, 2022)
Lovely, cosy, clean and comfortable villa in a quite and nice area. The house and especially the kitchen are equipped with everything you need! Our stay at the villa in the beginning of January exceeded our expectations.
The hosts are very friendly and helpful! Perfect location for exploring Cyprus (by car).
Julia (January, 2022)
This is a very comfortable villa in a great position. Quiet. Pool great. Central for reaching either coast if that’s what you want. Very well equipped. We loved our week there.
Freda (November, 2021)
Property was immaculate and exactly as depicted in the photos. I stayed at the property for a week in late November and while the pool was too cold to swim in, it was hot enough to lounge outside around the pool. Kitchen is well equipped and everything else about the property was beautiful. It is located along a main highway and while a bit far from major cities is easy to access by car and very private. Would highly recommend!
Sean (November, 2021)
We were in the middle of November in the beautiful house. Check-in and -out were super uncomplicated. We had a great week. In November, of course, it gets dark quite early. At the house, the sun is gone around 3pm. Surroundings are pretty and quiet. Cleanliness was absolutely top and the house has everything you need.
Liuse (November, 2021)
What a stunning place! Secluded enough to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but only a 2-minute drive to a local supermarket, takeaway coffee and tavernas in the village. The villa is well equipped and the pictures do not do it justice.
Lorna (October, 2021)
It’s a beautiful villa in a quiet but very convenient location for exploring Cyprus. It is true that the photos don’t bring the beauty of the place. The swimming pool was cold in October but it didn’t stop us from using it every day. Morning coffee at the balcony, breakfast at the decking and evenings by the fireplace. What more you could ask for?
Ania (October, 2021)
Beautiful spacious house with a lovely pool and outside space with everything you need to make your stay comfortable.
Frances (October, 2021)
Great hosts and an amazing house! Everything you need is provided and the communication was always on point! If I’ll visit Cyprus again in the future I will make sure to stay here again!
Mathias (September, 2021)
Excellent Villa, very comfortable, secluded location
White (August, 2021)
Amazing place! Would definitely stay again!
Stelios (August, 2021)
This little villa is a lovely place to stay if you fancy a private pool and want to have some alone time for a few days.
Jasmin (July, 2021)
Great place for staying with kids, totally exceed expectations. Highly recommend for those who seeks calm place in rural area.
Roman (July, 2021)
Everything was great! The location is excellent for those who do not like tourist places and a large crowd of people - a unique opportunity to take a break from all this and see the real living Cyprus with its real inhabitants. But, nevertheless, all the beauties are located 20-30 minutes away from this wonderful place: Coral Bay, Lara beach, other beaches, monasteries, wonderful mountain villages.... I would especially like to mention and recommend this place for families with children - a great clean pool, which was cleaned every 3 days, a huge number of toys - a lot of everything. This is a wonderful place that we will remember for the rest of our lives, because it was so wonderful to spend time there with our family.
Marina (July, 2021)
We had a great time at Laurent's place. It's in a great location feels like a place where time stands still, far away from the hussle and bussle, but within easy driving distance of Latchi, Paphos and the mountains.
The house and its territory are beautifully presented and well proportioned, we made great use of the outdoor space for the pool, sunbathing, and eating some meals.
Alex (May, 2021)
Very difficult review to write as I wanted to keep this little bit of paradise to myself. Firstly, the communication prior to our stay was excellent. The owner sent us a short video before arrival as the property is set back from the main road. The wonderful Dee and Chris were there to meet us and demonstrated how everything worked. The pictures really do not do the property justice. It was stunning inside and out decorated with a mixture of Cypriot and Gallic influences. The entire property was spotless and Chris cleaned the pool twice a week. The property is ideally placed with the beautiful beaches of Latchi a 15 minute drive and Paphos 25 minutes. There is a local Taverna and Coffee shop in the village and a small supermarket where you can most things that you need. We rarely ventured out for dinner though, preferring to cook at the property. We fell asleep to the lullaby of the cicadas and were woken by the a chorus of bird song. We loved everything about the property and will never forget our stay there. We cannot wait to return ♥️
Michelle (October, 2020)
The Villa Group are very helpful, thank you
Sawyer (September, 2020)
Beautiful peaceful villa, plenty of space and in very quiet neighbourhood. Lovely pool and very nicely decorated. Sky full of stars at night due to the mountain location. Plenty of towels, good air con and coffee machine - who could ask for more :) We will stay again
Maria (September, 2020)
This accommodation was one of the best I've ever been to! Fully equipped with everything you need! A fantastic view from the terrace. And the best: a perfect pool area. The kids loved it so much !
Sarah (August, 2020)
Beautiful house. We highly recommend it.
Stella (August, 2020)
We arrived in the middle of the Night- and the House was ready for us. Even some lovely snacks in the frigde for us as well... what a great start! The House is Beautifully decorated and you quickly feel like home. The pool area is great- very private. The decked upperterrace is Nice to chill at and look at the hillside (from early morning you Can Watch a stunning sunrise) The hosts (Chris and Dee) are very Nice and easy to talk to. Very helpfull and flexible.
We enjoyed our vacation very much and hope that others Will too... :)
Peter (July, 2020)
The house is greatly looked after, clean, and inspires for chill days by the pool and calm nights on the porch. Little touches made it so cozy, like antique furniture and cupboard door handles. If you are looking for peace and quiet, very close to the Latsi for fish taverns and the beach, but far away from noise and chaos. Local taverns are also nice and really brings closer to the village life. We will be definitely returning.
Georgia (June, 2020)
Beautiful secluded villa with great location for exploring Cyprus and if you don’t want to explore its a wonderful place to escape and relax within easy reach of amazing traditional tavernas. Actually, ignore all that we don’t want it overbooked as we want to go back.
Shane (November, 2019)
Very nice place to stay and relax! Quiet surroundings, a lovely pool and a perfect Check-In with Dee and Chris. Definitely already considering coming back again :)
Simon (October, 2019)
Our stay at the villa was really great and exceeded our expectations. Especially the enormous privacy you have was really great and we enjoyed it very much. This villa is highly recommended. The beds are excellent, the pool is large, the decor is well cared for, cozy, everything has been thought of etc.
MG (October, 2019)
Beautiful house spotlessly clean and very spacious.The house has everything you could possibly want it's like home from home and is in a gorgeous location the views from the upstairs balcony are amazing if you want a totally relaxing chilled out holiday this is the place. You will need a car if you plan on sightseeing in the area and even to call at the local supermarket as it is quite steep on the road down to the house and very difficult to walk up in the heat. We have had a fantastic stay and are definitely planning on going back next year.
Jean (September, 2019)
We ( couple+2 children) stayed for one week in this lovely villa .It is even better than the pictures. The atmosphere and the location are great surrounded with green nature. The villa is fully equipped with all which is necessary. We all enjoyed spending time together in this luxury pool. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly with full attention to your needs. It is one of the places that we certainly wish to visit again.
Selly (August, 2019)
A really lovely villa, much bigger than the photos suggest. Very pretty with lots of comfort and amenities. The pool and pool area are really lovely and a great place to relax and have fun. We had a fabulous stay and heartily recommend to others
Jo (August, 2019)
Great experience for a family, good location for many of the hotspots if you have a vehicle, the villa is fully equipped and ready for a tranquil peaceful vacation.
Hen (June, 2019)
The house is really beautiful. You will find everything you need, even a barbecue. The location of the house is great to explore the island.
David (May, 2019)
The villa is perfectly located to explore Southern Cyprus. Stunning location in the mountains with amazing balcony views. The living space is much bigger than expected and the outside area is well equipped and perfect to relax. The villa has everything needed to enjoy a holiday. Would definitely recommend a stay in this beautiful villa, thanks!
Ceri (May, 2019)
Beautiful house in isolated location with amazing views. Perfect for relaxing family break.
George (April, 2019)
The perfect location for a relaxing holiday. Book here, you will not be disappointed. The scenery is breathtaking and the villa is a great base to explore from and the perfect place to relax. We will definitely be coming back, we loved it!!!!
Chris (April, 2019)
We had a great stay in the house. Couldn't fault it, it had everything necessary for a relaxed holiday. If you like old stone houses, peace and quiet and your home comforts, this is the place for you!
Francoise (March, 2019)
I can hardly add anything new to the previous reviews. A truly five stars experience!
Jakob (November, 2018)
Great place! Beautiful house with pool, well equipped and clean. Quiet and peaceful surroundings and nice places to visit in the area. Great to hang out and relax, hard to leave...Communication was fast and helpful. Would come back anytime! Thanks for the service and experience!
Ulrike (November, 2018)
We really enjoyed our stay here at this secluded villa, especially the views from the balcony where we had our breakfast each morning. The villa was really well equipped for self-catering and there was plenty of room and comfortable places to relax. A perfect honeymoon getaway!
Owain (October, 2018)
This is an amazing place!! One of the most beautiful villa's we have ever rented. Super clean, large pool, beautiful house, amazing view from the terrace... Communication was very correct, and we felt very welcome in the villa and in Cyprus!
Griet (July, 2018)
We stayed in the house for around 13 days. We were looking very much forward to it, as the pictures and other reviews were very promising. We were not let down! :-) Everything was exactly - or better - as on the photos. The pool was great! Large and well kept by David, who stops by on Tuesdays and Fridays to clean it. Great service. The living room is nice and large with comfy sofas. The kitchen is well equipped. We bought a few amenities ourselves, but not very much. The grill (gas) outside was great. We used it for most of our meals. Very easy to handle and well kept and clean. The rooms upstairs - two bedrooms - were of good size and equipped with sheets and blankets and a stock of pillows. Extra blankets are also available. One bedroom with a double bed, and one bedroom with three single beds. The bathroom upstairs include a bathtub with a shower - and with a great possibility to have a great view over the mountains while showering. All rooms have air conditioning. Very nice terrace on the 1st floor which you can access from both rooms. We didn't use it much, as the pool terrace were even better: With access from the dining area/kitchen it is very practical - outside are a few comfy sofa/chairs and a small table. Also there's the dining area outside, which we used every day. Fun fact: lots of small very cute lizards and gekkos. Everyday we could count around 6-7 lizards around the house (outside). Nothing to worry about as they are shy, but fun to look at from a distance. And they eat the bugs, so it is a win/win. If you are going here, be sure to visit a great taverna only 10 minutes away (by car). We "found" it on our last day of our stay - unfortunately! We would have gone there more, had we found it earlier. It is called Sa Buneri Taverna and is located next to Evretou Dam. You can find it on Google Maps. Great beaches! In Polis (where you also can do most of the grocery shopping at Papantoniou) is mostly pebbly beaches (Latsi beach), but with the warmest and clearest water. You can also drive to Coral Bay by the city Peyia. Great for scuba and snorkeling. Sandy beach. Also there is Ladys Mile beach by Limassol, which is also sandy. You will definitely need a car when going to Cyprus, and unless you know how to stay only on the main roads, it is a good idea to get a car suitable...
Marie Louise (June, 2018)
Had a smashing week! The villa is lovely and secluded. Everything you could need he provides... didn't need to take any towels or such as they were there. Photos don't do it justice the house is bigger.
Jody (June, 2018)
Great location, lovely villa. We had a great stay. Buzzing bees and the smell of orange blossom, as you stroll through the orange groves, was a delight. Would recommend this as a great location for your Cyprus holiday.
Simon (April, 2018)
