Luxury villa in Kyrenia town, stunning views, private pool. Cheap Euro

We spent two weeks in August at the villa. I want one!! Everything was first rate, from the well stocked kitchen to the fabulous pool and comfortable terrace which got an immense amount of use. For the first time ever, our two teenagers aged 14 and 16 were not interested in going to the beach as they loved the pool so much and found the villa to be a home from home. It was very hot during our stay so sitting in the shade with a good book and a gorgeous swimming pool to hand was our idea of heaven. We went to Bellapais Abbey one day as I was desperate to see the tree of idleness that Laurence Durrell speaks about in his book about Northern Cyprus and went on a boat trip, which was very enjoyable and served a good lunch. There were many restaurants within a short drive away that catered for every taste and pocket and you could eat at a different place every night.We found the book in which people have rated the restaurants very helpful in making a decision about where to go and in the small village of Ozankoy, there are lots of small family run establishments that are fantastic value for money where you can get a three course meal with coffee, brandy and entertainment for £10 each. There was nothing within walking distance, though, so hiring a car is probably a necessity. The villa was beautifully laid out and was clean and tidy when we arrived with even some of the basics in the fridge already. It had everything we needed-and more! The air conditioning was a must as it was very humid at night. The owner, Lyn, was very helpful when we were in the process of booking the villa and made it all very easy. I would, without doubt, recommend staying at this villa to anyone but would be very jealous that it was not me!

We stayed here for 14 nights July/August 2009 with our 2 daugthers aged 12 and 15. The villa is spacious and well maintained with air-conditioning in all bedrooms, bedding was changed and the villa cleaned half way through our stay.
As suggested by the owner we arranged car hire with Sadiq who was very helpful and provided a good car at a great rate.
The weather was exceptionally hot during our stay with temperatures in the high 30's every day so we made great use of the spacious pool which has a shallow end with steps and a deep end of approx. 6'.
The villa location is to the East of the town centre and appears less commercialised than the West where a lot of the restaurants are. A car is necessary to appreciate all that North Cyprus has to offer, although the heat meant that we did not get to see as much as we would have liked.
From the villa you have views out to sea and also of the mountains behind so there is scenery for all tastes.
We ate out every night using a combination of the owners recommendations, Trip Advisor reviews and Tricias' (cleaner) tips. We left reviews of places we ate at the Villa, there are restaurants for all tastes, many providing authentic local cuisine.
We took a boat trip one day (Derya Deniz) and would recommend this as a relaxing day out, the food on board was very good.
North Cyprus provides very good value for money, the most we paid for a meal for the 4 of us was c.£100 and this was in a high class establishment (Ambiance) with first class service and included 3 course meals with delicious steaks, 2 cocktail drinks, coffees and an all you can eat dessert buffet. We also ate at family run small Turkish restaurants where a full Turkish meal (Mezes. Kebab etc.) and dessert cost as little as £12 each.
Altogether we would thoroughly recommend both North Cyprus and this villa as an excellent holiday choice.

We loved North Cyprus, it was our best holiday ever. We have been in the South a few times but found it was getting far too commercialised with to many drunken hen and stag parties. This was the last year that our eldest would join us as he is getting married so it was a special time for us all to be together. Kyrenia has lots of great restaurants from local food to very good international and because we were out of the eurozone it was inexpensive. The beaches are great especially out on the panhandle. We had some wonderful days out to the Ruins of Salamis, a day long boat trip from the old crusader harbour whcih was so good we went again and the boys had a scuba dive.
Len & Thelma's villa was simply the best, convenient to the town but far enough out to be quiet with brlliant views. The villa has everything we neede with very modern and tasteful decor a great kitchen with a full built in BBQ and FOUR dining tables so we could eat inside, in the shade, in the sun at the private pool or at the rear BBQ areas. We loved our pre dinner drinks watching the sun go down from the shaded patio area. Len's agent Sadik looked after us really well from the airport pick up to providing us with a hire car and helpful local advice.It was our best holiday and we will be back next year, maybe we can pursuade Jim and his new wife to join us.
