Lovely one night stay where you become part of their family.
Pros:

Lovely, super welcoming couple who owns the place.

Cons:

Not a lot of privacy, more for a short stay. You should like dogs, cats and should be open to spend time with the owners.
We enjoyed this for one night!

Pros:

We loved absolutely everything about our stay! Despina and her husband are great hosts, we spend a very nice evening together with them and their cute pets. Our room was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed and even more. Breakfasts were delicious and the views and the area very peaceful. We hope to come back one day :)

Truly a retreat!
Pros:

I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for this wonderful place — it was truly a retreat. The house sits atop a hill with an amazing view of the valley, and the village has a magical, tranquil atmosphere. The hosts are wonderful people; we really enjoyed their company. Despina treated us to fresh figs from the garden, and the breakfast she prepared was absolutely fantastic. Thank you again, Despina, for the jar of your delicious fig jam! We’re already looking forward to coming back. Next time, we’ll definitely try the swimming pool under the stars.

Pros:

Αγαπητή κυρία Δέσποινα,

Θέλω να σας ευχαριστήσω μέσα από την καρδιά μου για την υπέροχη φιλοξενία που μας προσφέρατε. Από την πρώτη στιγμή που φτάσαμε, με τη λεμονάδα, τα φρούτα και το χαμόγελό σας, νιώσαμε σαν να ήμασταν στο δικό μας σπίτι και όχι σε κατάλυμα. Η ευγένεια, η καλοσύνη και το μεγαλείο της ψυχής σας είναι πραγματικά σπάνια και μοναδικά.

Το πρόγευμα σας πλούσιο και χορταστικό, το δωμάτιο πεντακάθαρο, η φύση γύρω μας μαγευτική – όλα συντέλεσαν ώστε να ζήσουμε μια αξέχαστη εμπειρία. Αυτό όμως που μένει πιο έντονα χαραγμένο στην καρδιά μας είναι η αγνότητα και η ζεστασιά σας. Η σπιτική σας μαρμελάδα ήταν το πιο γλυκό δώρο, όχι μόνο γιατί ήταν νοστιμότατη, αλλά γιατί την προσφέρατε με τόση απλόχερη αγάπη.

Σας ευχαριστούμε για όλα, για την αγκαλιά, για την ανθρωπιά σας, για το ότι κάνατε το ταξίδι μας ξεχωριστό. Στο επανιδείν, γιατί να είστε σίγουρη ότι θα σας ξαναεπισκεφθούμε.

Με πολλή αγάπη Στέλλα από Λευκωσία

Ciprioti accoglienti
Pros:

Mi è piacuto molto il contesto,

in un piccolo villaggio nell'entroterra, molto silenzioso, con la possibilità di scrutare il cielo durante un bel bagno nella piscina, fantastico. Mi è piaciuta moltissimo l'accoglienza dei proprietari, molto gentili e pronti a sodfisfare ogni richiesta.

Cons:

Nulla di negativo.

Perfect to relax and recharge
Pros:

Despina’s and Steve’s country retreat is a wonderful place to relax and recharge. The room was really cozy, spotless and the breakfast was amazing. The highlights for us were the green surroundings, the spacious outdoor area, the pool, and of course Despina and Steve and their 2 dogs and cats - we had an amazing time and would love to visit again.

Cons:

Nothing!

Pros:

The property was very clean and the house was in the nature

Cons:

Although the property was in general terms clean and with a very nice view we didn’t like the following:
1. The hosts are living in the property, hence you do not have privacy and you cannot use the big kitchen as shown in the pictures.
2. You do not feel comfortable to relax or walk around the property because you are actually living in THE HOUSE OF THE HOSTS and again this is NOT WRITTEN ANYWHERE IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY, YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH THE COMMENTS TO FIND THIS OUT!
3. The hosts have pets in the house and this is not written anywhere in the description of the property. Indeed in the description, it’s written that the pets are not allowed!
