Fantastic!!
Review Submitted: September 2, 2009
Date of Stay: July 2009
My family and I have just returned from a wonderful August holiday in Cyprus. We stayed at Doreen's beautiful villa for two weeks and none of us wanted to come back home.
There was my husband and I together with my pregnant daughter and her husband and their 18 month old baby girl. Doreen arranged a travel cot for the baby and also put us in touch with a car hire company as you definitely need a car.
The villa is in a quiet village - Kathikas - up in the hills near Pathos. The accommodation was clean and very spacious. It was fantastic to have our own pool to cool off in as the temperature was in the upper 30s all the time. Thank goodness for the air con!!
We love to cook for ourselves as my husband travels around staying in hotels most of the working week and so he enjoys home cooking. Dispite that fact that there was only limited cooking utensils and containers we managed to enjoy many bbqs and home cooked meals. It would have been useful to have a larger pan and also some ovenware. The only other problem was the vacuum cleaner was not able to cope with cleaning the rugs - I think a replacement was necessary.
The pool was cleaned twice a week by a lovely English man who was a mine of information about the area. You have to be up early to catch him though.
We enjoyed many days out - particularly good were the water park at Pathos (though it was a complete rip-off as you couldn't take your own drink or food and cost about £100 per couple for the day) however it was a fantastic day out. Also we visited the local donkey sanctuary, the local wine tasting establishment and the bird and animal park. We also travelled further afield to the south and north. The roads are brilliant - no worries there.
For a sandy beach with good water sports activities we really favoured Coral Bay - it is lovely and there are some good restaurants there too.
When we got home I sorted out my photos to show the rest of the family and my other daughter who lives in Finland and her husband and my 2 teenage grandsons can't wait to get in touch with Doreen and try to book the villa for next year. I have no hesitation in recommending it to them or anyone else. Just hope it doesn't get so busy we can't go back!!!
Owner's Response: We appreciate all comments by our reviewers and recommendations are welcome and will be acted upon to enhance the comfort of our guests holiday.
The vacuum cleaner is due for replacement in 2010 and more kitchen utensils will be made available.
