Cottage Houses

Fair

  : The house was ok and clean
  : The outside area not at all clean or taken care of. The house was comfortable but could hear anything the neighbour houses did or talked. Last would like to say that when you rent an area and they say a check out time you have no right to enter with a key without your guests leaving. So check out time is 11 and at 9.45 the host took her key opened the house we rented and asked when we are leaving. Very unprofessional very unpolite and DEFINATELY forbidden to enter with your key without checking if guests have left the premises. Will definitely not visit this premises again!

  : Instant Hot water any time.Clean room.Quiet place.
  : Remote Control of the AC was out of batteries. Had to replace them with the TV remote control all when we needed to use it.There was a humidity smell near the cough. Not sure where it was coming from.

  : The cottage was very pleasant, with a good selection of indoor kitchen items and good beds and mattresses. It was clean and had enough space for 2 people, but would be a little tight for four, if in the colder period of the year. The outdoor kitchen area, seating area and pool area were very nice.
  : There were two main problems: the internet (wifi) connection does not stretch through the whole property. This could be easily rectified using properly sited indoor wifi singal boosters/antennae, and given the there is a TV with only Cypriot channels and no satellite, the internet is nowadays vital for general entertainment. The other issue (which I am assured is only in the period before Easter and to be fair is not the fault of the owners, who are as annoyed as everyone else) is the keenness of the local youth to let off firecrackers through the night (e.g. 11pm, 2am, 2:30pm), waking me regularly. One at 5:30am shook the windows of the villa. I'd avoid this property in the week before Easter again.

  : Peaceful courtyard in quiet village .Owners very accommodating and friendly.Bed big and comfy
  : Damp wall next to bed bit smelly. However, our stay was in March with lots of rain. We were told there is no problem in the drier months

  : We ended up staying in the two bedroom apartment and absolutely loved it. You could sun lounge and relax on the balcony and despite some windy days it seemed quite protected from the wind. If you're there during the cooler months, you must try the sauna. It was one of the highlights of our winter stay Location was very quiet. Maybe at night you can hear the odd dog barking but since it's in a small village it's very quiet. Kitchen had nearly everything we needed including a full sized fridge, and two electric hobs, kettle and toaster. I would have appreciated a microwave because you'll find in Cyprus, the restaurants always give you more than you can eat! but we were still able to reheat using the pots etc. Kitchen also had everything regarding cutlery, and other kitchen equipment, chopping boards, pots pans. Even a Cypriot coffee pot. Hosts gave us a lovely cake to celebrate the new years and it was really nice! Some reviews commented on all the additional charges being posted up everywhere, but it was just a few A4 laminated paper. Maybe they can put it into a welcome folder including some ideas on what to do/ see around the village. But it wasn't as bad as I was expecting after reading the reviews. Bed was almost too comfortable and had difficulty convincing myself to get up now and not in another 10, 20, 30 mins! Very warm also, extra bedding was provided so able to sleep with heating off.
  : You definitely need a car for this property. This isn't necessarily a negative just advice. For beaches, the nearest one is a bit rough and stoney but the white stones are very pretty and great for sunset. There's a fish restaurant/ beach club. Maybe in summer it it's nicer to swim? Down the road, the Dragon Fruit Farm was the best Dragon Fruit I've had in my life! So you must go! The best swimmable, toddler friendly, shallow sandy Beach in my opinion is at St Raphael. If you like walking or running, there's a fantastic promenade there, you can literally walk/run for ages, I think it might go all the way to limmasol. There's also a number of beach clubs) cafes) restaurants in St Raphael. And an archaeological site nearby too. After seeing Limmasol I was very glad we booked here, despite having to drive to get to places. It's possible to leave the car and explore the village but if you want some beachtime then you'll want a car. Nearest supermarket is across the road but it's on the small side so might not have everything you need. Nearest non-Euronet ATMs are about 20mins each way. Which is a bit time consuming when you need to pay additional charges such as air-conditioning/heating etc in cash. So bring cash with you if possible. It would be great if you could book this option when booking the apartment itself to avoid getting the cash. Just a note that in winter, while the pool is open, and you can sometimes find it warm enough swim in the sea (borderline!), unfortunately as the pool isn't heated it was much too cold for me even in full sun (except after being in the sauna for 15 mins, then it was possible but you couldn't stay long!)
