A home away from home
Review Submitted: March 7, 2009
Date of Stay: November 2008
My husband and I stayed at Villa Mumbet for three months while waiting for our own property to be completed. We were making the transition from having lived aboard our sailing boat to living on dry land again. We looked at many rental properties before settling on Villa Mumbet. There were none that could compare with this villa.
First of all, the couple who own the villa have equiped the villa as a home and go out of their way to make you feel at home without ever intruding on your privacy. They are a delightful couple.
Secondly, the villa has every conceivable household gadget and luxury you could wish for. All furnishings are beautiful, comfortable and the place is spotless. At the same time it is practical. There is excellent 'easy to use' information on how to use everything; what to see and do; and how to get to where you decide to go. A pay as you go mobile phone with local sim card is provided together with a list of all the local telephone numbers you might call.
Thirdly, the gardens and pool area are a special delight with magnificent old Olive trees, fabulous palms and lots of flowers and huge cactuses. There's outdoor lighting for romantic evenings and plenty of shade for breakfasting and lunching outside.
Fourthly, this villa is located in a small village with a little cafe where you can meet locals and expats. There is also a lovely little old church which the expats and locals are renovating closeby which is worth visiting. In addition you will find yourself within walking distance of the centre of Girne/Kyrenia. So if you want to have your dinner down in the old harbour and enjoy your wine, you can then walk home again(about 25mins).
You will also find that you have very friendly neighbours who are always ready to give you a helping hand without ever being intrusive.
What more is there to say? Obviously, we fell in love with the place!
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
greetings
Christine and Cato
