Platres Forest View Cottage

The house is very comfortable and was spotlessly clean. It has everything you need for a great stay and lovely views from the balcony at the back. I can't fault it! Will definitely return.

Nothing 😀

Starting with the positives, the location is truly beautiful—nestled in the mountains, offering stunning views. The balcony is a highlight, providing a great space to relax and enjoy the scenery, and the barbecue setup adds to the charm. The house itself has a cozy atmosphere and has been recently renovated, which adds to its appeal.

However, we felt that the property is quite overpriced compared to other houses we have rented in Cyprus during the Christmas season. One of the main concerns was the fireplace. Given the mountain setting, we expected firewood to be included, but unfortunately, it was only available at an extra charge. This felt unreasonable, especially since the fireplace is a key feature for warmth and ambiance in such a location. We also noticed that several past reviews mentioned the same issue with the fireplace, yet it seems the owners have not addressed this concern Additionally, the oven was outdated and kept shutting off while we were using it, which was quite inconvenient. Another issue we encountered was with the beds and pillows. The mattresses were average, but the pillows, in particular, were uncomfortable. At this price point, we expected better quality bedding to ensure a good night’s sleep, but this was not the case. Overall, while the location, views, and recent renovations are definite highlights, we believe the property either needs further improvements or a reduction in price to better reflect its current condition and offerings.

The bathroom needs heating

Great layout of the villa and location

Pillows were small and uncomfortable Outside terrace lights were not working

1)The way you book the room ...you have to check in online and they want to give all the name of the people they go to the house. I think this is private and you are not allowed to ask all the participant names ...when you book a hotel or a house you know only the one you book the room not everyone and ask also id for all... 2)We left the house Sunday 11:00 and still they have the amount they hold for quarantine block

Needs better parking. No Cypriot BBQ available as we were promised. Only 1 tea towel, not enough toilet paper and no hangers in the closets. The veranda was not very clean. If these issues get sorted it will be great.
