Reviews of Property: Fabulous villa with gardens & private pool in the Turkish quarter of Kyrenia!

we stayed in this property at the end of the season so the cost was ok.
the villa is in an ideal place if you dont want to rent a car. its a good 10-15 minute walk to the harbour through the atmospheric streest of the turkish quarter.
the area is peacfull with the small mosqe at the end of the street. i found it very theraputic when it was calling to prayer.
the garden was loverly with orange, pomegranite, lemon and manderin trees that we were welcome to pick.
the pool was cold but nice.the whole patio area was spaciouse and clean all set within a pretty walled garden.
the villa is huge with patio doors leading off the ground floor rooms very handy
the kitchen is good with a large table. the only thing that is missing is a washing machine.when booking the owner said i could use the washing machine outside but the cleaning lady told me i couldnt so if you need one its bad news.the upstairs was roomy with an enormouse landing area and a large balcony from the master bedroom.
the only other thing that niggled us was the lack of lightbulbs in the light fittings. it gets dark early in november so the kitchen was too dark .
a large group would enjoy this house as it has loads of space with 2 living rooms.

the furniture throughout is of good quality and very well chosen. it would benefit from a couple of red turkish rugs in the living rooms though to make it more homely.
all in all its a good house but too big for us.

A last minute booking, transfers and car hire arranged by owner, no hassle. We spent just over a week in June at this magnficent villa, we wish we had stayed longer. Ditto previous reviews, we will be returning next year for definate!!

We had a wonderful Spring break in this delightful villa. The gardens were immaculate, full of fragrance and colour. The pool with its crystal clear water was refreshing! Clean, beautifully furnished, the villa is a marvellous find. The owners have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. We were met by Mel and Charlie, the managers, who showed us around the villa. We found them very helpful and a pleasure to meet. The information pack at the villa was full of details of activities, places to visit and restaurants. Transfers and car hire were kindly arranged by the owner. We recommended this villa highly and look forward to a return trip next Spring.

The owner genuinely wants you to enjoy your stay. We found her extremely helpful with information prior to the holiday also booking transfers and car hire. Mel and Charlie who look after the villa are a lovely couple. They were welcoming and accommodating, providing local information etc. The villa was everything I imagined and more. Being set in the Turkish residential area we experienced some of the real culture of North Cyprus, meeting local people, using local shops and generally seeing lifesyles there. Loved the minaret at the end of the road. Theres a lovely restaurant open in the summer months at No.14. At the same time we were in a short walking distance to all the amenities you could possibility wish for as a holiday maker. The town and harbour is filled with numerous interesting restaurants, bars and shops. The Turkish Cypriot people make you feel very welcome. The car hire is worth having to also explore other parts of North Cyprus.
We found the villa to be very clean and well equipped with everything we needed including having barbecues. The villa has high ceilings and spacious rooms (wonderful kitchen) accompanied with a lovely garden and pool. I have not been swimming for many years but could not resist that pool! Everyone enjoyed and made great use of the pool every day. The garden is made very private with the attractive wall surrounding the whole area.
My partner and I were married on 19th June, at nearby Bellapais during this holiday, so we chose the villa for us to stay with our 3 daughters (ages 30ish) and their partners. They were all impressed with the villa and its location. We spent our wedding night at Bellapais Gardens Hotel which was lovely but one night was sufficient. We loved coming back to the villa where you have your own spacious accommodation, own garden and own pool! We plan to return, hopefully next year and bring some friends to enjoy the villa. We can highly recommend.

We stayed in this lovely villa for 2 weeks in March. The villa, gardens and swimming pool were immaculate. The position of the villa in the Old Turkish quarter of Kyrenia was extremely handy for all the local food shops, bakery, butcher etc. We would nornally hire a car but found it was not necessary on this occasion as the villa is only15 mins walk to the harbour and town. We used the local buses which were cheap for trips into Famagusta, Nicosia etc. Would deffinately stay in this villa again.

This is a gorgeous spacious villa. It was immaculate when we arrived and has the advantage of the managers Mel and Charlie who live next door. It is full of loads of helpful bits and pieces. Sandwich boxes,cool bag etc etc.It is thoughtfully and carefully prepared. The rooms are massive! There is also enough sunbeds and outdoor table space to seat 8. There are lemon trees in the garden and we picked lemons each day for drinks. The owner and managers of this property are fantastic.The communication and help is excellent.they arranged our transfers and car hire and answered lots of questions for me about the area. You do need a car but thats easy because they drive on the same side as us! the only tiny negative point is the parking.You have to park the car away from the villa most of the time. This was ok and never a problem but just a pain if you have to carry a load of stuff. We found the harbour area lovely and about a 10 minute walk from the villa.the locals are very friendly. Overall we had a fantastic holiday and would definately return to this villa. We found it reasonably priced with super facilities (there`s even a torch in each bedroom in case of a power cut) We were a family group and this villa has something for everyone.

Dear Mary
Many thanks for your excellent organisation and help when we were booking our holiday.
The villa, garden and pool are beautiful and we spent many happy hours there.
Mel and Charlie were very helpful indeed and looked after us very well - even sharing a few Brandy Sours!!
We found some lovely local restaurants and we have left our comments and directions in the villa information pack.
Thank you again for everything.
Kind regards
Andrew and Karen

This charming walled villa is set right in the heart of the Turkish Quarter in Keyrenia town. It is situated in a very quiet area with no traffic noise and virtually no noise from surrounding properties. The minaret calling the locals to prayer five times a day is situated very close to the villa however we did not find this to be intrusive at all, the sound added to the "turkish atmosphere". The beautiful harbour with restaurants and bars is a 10 minute walk from the house along quiet residential streets.
The house is well equipped and comfortable. It has a large kitchen which is a pleasure to cook in and a large patio area just outside for meals to be taken on the large stone table. The two sitting rooms are very comfortable with large leather sofa's and chairs.
The most charming aspect to this property is the pretty walled garden which is sizeable considering it's location It also contains a large swimming pool. The pool terrace is surrounded by satsuma orange and lemon trees.
Keyrenia is a town full of cats! We are cat lovers and were very happy that the villa was sometimes visited by the neighbouring cats and kittens who come to see who the new resident is. They are charming and soon know when to push off if you're not that keen on them.

I would throughly recommend this villa if you are looking for somewhere peaceful that remains in walking distance of the wonderful Kyrenia town.
