Guest Reviews

• Vasiliki (10/5): - Εξαιρετική εμπειρία διαμονής! Ο χώρος ήταν πανέμορφος, ζεστός και ιδιαίτερα προσεγμένος, με έντονο παραδοσιακό χαρακτήρα που δημιουργεί μια πολύ ευχάριστη και χαλαρωτική ατμόσφαιρα. Η καθαριότητα ήταν άψογη και η φιλοξενία εξαιρετική, κάνοντάς μας να νιώσουμε πραγματικά άνετα από την πρώτη στιγμή. Πρόκειται για ένα κατάλυμα που συνδυάζει αισθητική, άνεση και αυθεντικότητα. Σίγουρα θα το επισκεφθούμε ξανά και το προτείνουμε ανεπιφύλακτα!

• Ozgur (10/5): Best place to stay around the region - Amazing place to stay in an amazing traditional village. The cottage was perfect. Extremely quiet, and clean. The beds were so comfy. The owner was helpful with everything. He left us a very nice wine, cakes etc and even groceries. This is the only place we will stay around the region. We didn’t want to leave the house at all😁
• Christos (10/5): Μας πρόσφεραν πρόγευμα, που δεν συμπεριλαμβάνεται στις ειπιρεσιές του. Και πρόθυμοι να μας βοηθήσουν - Πολύ ευγενικοί και φιλόξενοι οι ιδιοκτήτες, καθαρό και πρόθυμοι να σε βοηθήσουν σε ότι θέλεις.

• Avital (10/5): - עיירה ציורית ומקסימה, דירה מאובזרת ונקיה ובעלי הבית אדיבים ואכפתיים.
• Shichrur (10/5): - Amazing hospitality. The owner of the apartment is very nice and welcoming, available for any request. We were welcomed with a cake that the owner of the apartment made and with many treats in the fridge. The yard is spacious and authentic. The apartment itself is in a traditional rustic design, you have to connect, one space but very large, equipped with everything you need even a washing machine and dishwasher. From the area itself you can go on many trips. Recommend!
• NIR (10/5): מומלץ מאוד - מקום מפנק מאוד , נקי ומאובזר היטב , מארחים מסבירי פנים שפינקו אותנו עם ארוחת בוקר טעימה , הכפר יפה למרות שנמצא באיזור השריפות שפרצו ביולי האחרון , מקום טוב להרגיש את ההרים וגישה נוחה לטיול בהרי הטרודוס
• OLEG (10/5): - Very good!
• Giorgos (10/5): - The place is perfect for a weekend with a group of friends. Mr Xenios was absolutely hospitable, always very willing to help us. He has even brought us delicatessen platter, bread, milk, a very proper breakfast, free of charge. His wife has also made for us homemade cakes. True Cypriot hospitality!!!
• Katerina (10/5): -
• Alexis (10/5): Perfect stay and hosts! -
• Pantelis (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anton (8/5): Very good -
• Kervella (10/5): Ideal place for take a rest! - Xenios was perfect with us. A great host.
• Alexali (10/5): Exceptional - We had a wonderful weekend at this hotel. From the very beginning, we were warmly welcomed by the host. He was incredibly hospitable and attentive. We were pleasantly surprised to find traditional treats, wine, and breakfast items included in the service. The homemade cake was simply exceptional! The photos of the house and its surroundings on Booking.com fully match reality — everything is very clean, cozy, and full of charm! At the same time, the host was absolutely unobtrusive, and we felt completely comfortable with the freedom to enjoy our stay as we wished. We will definitely come back again!
• Achilleas (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean place. Nice shower. Very polite host. Many thanks!
• Erkut (10/5): Totally satisfied, thanks Xenios. Keep it up and looking forward to have the eggless cake on our next stay😊 - Xenios Cottage is a cosy home with full of everything. Very comfortable studio furbished with traditional Cypriot furniture and accessories. The owner Mr Xenios was kind enough to prepare a breakfast bucket which we did not expect and it was sufficient for a week for two of us as we were going to stay there only two days. It was the coldest two days of the past 35 years but we did not feel it at all. Summary: Very highly recommended… It would be more energy efficient stay if the doors and windows were better insulated.
• Andree (10/5): Perfect place in Lofou. - Everything was exceptional! Nothing.
• Giorgos (10/5): Exceptional -
• Moira (10/5): Exceptional - The host was exceptionally kind and helpful. The property was beautiful, well equipped and full of character.
• Ágnes (10/5): Perfect stay in a unique town - Xenios and his wife were super kind. Very flexible with the check-in time, they got us cake, breakfast, and snacks. Xenios showed us around the town, which was also amazing. The cottage has a cute authentic vibe. Would definitely recommend to anyone The church bells are quite loud in the morning, but that's part of the towns charm.
• Nicole (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julia (10/5): Exceptional - We're had a magnificent experience in Xenios Cottage! It's a beautifully decorated in traditional Cypriot style house and yard. It's a pleasure to be there and communicate with it's owner. It's got literally everything you might need in: full equipped kitchen with food for your breakfast (including coffee, tea, milk, sugar, bread, eggs, variety of jams, cheese and delis, breakfast cereals for kids) and even home-made pie from the owners wife, and also there was complimentary bottle of wine and snacks. Our cottage had one traditional very comfortable bed with really warm duvet and two sofa-beds with duvets and all the bed lining. There were many extra duvets and pillows in the wardrobe as well. We had a nice time and strongly recommend Xenios Cottage.
• Ryan (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing
• Anti (10/5): Exceptional - We are happy and lucky that we chose Xsenios cottage for our stay in Cyprus. My family spent wonderful 2 weeks there. Every detail in the house is chosen carefully and thoughtfully. Host is warmhearted and kind, ready to help you in any way you need. Lofou is marvellous oppoutunity to see and get the feeling of authentic Cyprus. It is the most lively and taken care small village that we have visited in Cyprus.
• Ksenia (10/5): Exceptional - The place is absolutely great, very cozy, and authentic. We were impressed how equipped the house was and that the host prepared us a lot of different treats so we didn't have to worry about dinner and lunch. Looking forward to returning to this place again. Nothing!
• Fatih (10/5): Fun and relaxing - The host goes above and beyond. The house is incredible and the village is cute. It really deserves its perfect rating. If you come by car, enter the village through the south. Otherwise you are in for very narrow roads.
• Giorgos (10/5): Exceptional -
• Christina (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the hostst warm welcoming he guided us to the cottage and also told us were to park so that we could have easy access . He and his wife left us a tray with lots of cheese and deli meat cuts, milk for the breakfast and a lovely spong cake . The house itself was so cozy and most importantly spotless.
• Anna (10/5): Wonderful! We cannot recommend this place enough! - The cottage was cozy, clean, quiet, incredibly beautiful, with all facilities and more! Xenios was a very generous and nice host, provided so many additional treats, showed us around town, and suggested wonderful wine tours, tavernas and day trips! That we couldn’t stay longer!
• Panayiota_01 (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yossi (10/5): AWSOME experience and WONDERFUL host !!!! - WOW ! Such a great and warm experience !!! First of all, the cottages are great! We rented the 2 homes offered for our extended family. There houses are authentic and very well kept. It combines both the original housing elements with modern amenities (WIFI, washing machine, induction stove, etc...). There is a BEAUTIFUL small yard between the 2 hoses, that we have enjoyed so much staying in the evenings for joint dinners. If you book both houses, you actually have an entire private place to an extended family, which is great! Also, one of the houses (the one we rented) has a floor that is actually a fully equipped mini apartment with a bedroom, shower & toilets, a small kitchen, and a small living area with a TV. It can be accessed individually, or joint together with the main house via a door trap door and a ladder, which is very cool, our kids loved it ! But other than the house itself, I want to say something on Xenios, the owner. Xenios is a WONDERFUL person ! He took such good care of us from the second we started communication. First of all, he met us and showed us everything in the houses, with great warmth and patience. Then, he took us all for a walk on the Lofou village, showing us the different historical places, giving recommendations, tips on how to get around, and where to find food, shops and more. Moreover, which is so warming and amazing, Xenios and his lovely wife have equipped both homes with food and treats for all of us ! A homemade cake, wine, various treats, a mixture of serials for the kids - WOW ! But not only that, also in the fridge we found a tray of cheese, jam, sausages, juice, butter, and more. One morning we woke up to another fresh cake that Xenios left on our doorstep. What can I say, I wish all hosts were half as friendly, warm, and welcoming. THANK YOU XENIOS FOR THE AMAZING STAY ! You made our Cyprus experience perfect !!! Nothing, it was all perfect for us !
• Anastasia (10/5): Lovely house in a lovely village - Everything was perfect! Xenios is a wonderful host, he took us through entire house and show and explains every detail. The house is very comfortable and cute, with lots of traditional village things. In the same time, there is everything you need for cooking and comfortable rest. Probably to add a couple of kitchen knives but really nothing to claim about! Perfect!!!
• Māris (10/5): Great host, wonderful apartments, definitely recommend - Xenios is a great and accommodating host! Quick to provide information and responsive. Our family was personally welcomed even though we arrived late. Gave us a real surprise - great cake, snacks and wine, as the local shops and restaurants were already closed. We felt welcome and really enjoyed our stay in these apartments - the beautifully renovated building and its ancient interior, the charming courtyard, where we could enjoy the warm March morning in silence. I would definitely choose these apartments again and recommend them to other families. Maris
• Maria (10/5): Totally worth it ❤️ - Everything was amazing! 😊😊 Very cute and cosy house. Very friendly and hospitable hostess! He provided us with a huge breakfast, all homemade! Was so delicious! This is my second time going there and definitely will visit again! ✌️✌️✌️ Everything was amazing!
• Constantinos (10/5): Perfect choice - Amazing hospitality Friendly and helpful host Very clean
• Evridiki (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stelios (9/5): Superb -
• Marie (10/5): Outstanding hospitality, wonderful location - We had a wonderful (too short) time in this gem in the middle of Lofou. Xenios is an exceptional, friendly and helpful host. We didn't miss anything. He took the time to walk with us through the village and explain the history and buildings. The fridge was well stocked for a big breakfast, and a home-baked cake and a bottle of wine were also provided for us - we didn't expect that! The cottage was very clean, the courtyard so inviting...we regretted not being able to stay longer. Thanks for everything, all the best, Xenios! nothing!
• Pinelopi (10/5): Exceptional -
• Carmen (10/5): Really hope to return as one of the best places that we have ever stayed in - I cannot fault Xenios cottages at all Amazing place , very friendly host , home made cake and lots of local produce supplied by Xenios and his wife I loved everything
• Zvi (10/5): Lovely experience at Xenios Cottages, Lofou - Our family of five had a delightful 3-night stay at Xenious Cottages in Lofou, Cyprus. The cottages are conveniently located next to public parking and the main village square of picturesque Lofou. The old house we stayed in was well-maintained, and carried a rich character that added to the experience. Our children were particularly thrilled with the old castle-like key and the "secret" staircase linking the levels. The hosts not only warmly welcomed us but also imparted invaluable travel tips, ensuring we made the most of our time in Lofou. A touching gesture was the lovely homemade cake waiting for us upon our late-night arrival.
• Monica (10/5): Everything was wonderful - what else can I say? - Lofou is a lovely village, perfectly situated to explore the south of the island. After having been abandoned some decades ago, it was rebuilt in the traditional style. The cottage is a beautiful example of old mixed with new. Tradition plus all the luxuries of modern life like a wifi, a dishwasher, a washing machine. Perfectly and thoughtfully equipped with all a traveller might need and a lot more. All done with a loving hand. Xenios and his wife are wonderful hosts who put every effort in making their guests welcome. Apart from a very well filled fridge with all you need for breakfast - including a delicious home-made cake - Xenios kept in daily contact and was there to help wherever needed. He even took the time to walk the village with us which was a very memorable tour. His hospitality is outstanding and we enjoyed our stay every second- it was an extraordinary experience! If we ever come back to the island, we will make sure to go back - we found more than a host, we found friendship, wonderful people and more than one reason to return. My legs were too short to climb into the wonderful historic and very comfortable matrimonial bed :) but there are solutions to everything!
• Elaine (10/5): Such a lovely place to stay. - Such a lovely place to stay, we wished we could have stayed longer. The cottage was very quiet, beautiful and spotlessly clean. The kitchen was equipped with everything you'd need and more. So many lovely touches including cereal, freshly baked bread and a cake. Eggs, milk, fresh juice and a lovely spread of cold meats and cheese in the fridge. The bed was very comfy. We loved everything about this cottage and Xenios could not have been more helpful. He explained everything well and even took us on a little walk around the village. We are so happy we found this place which was everything we could have wished for.
• Maya (10/5): Exceptional -
• Johannes (10/5): A great stay, we will recommend to families and friends - A wonderful host, so helpful, generous complimentary food including a bottle of lovely Cypriot white wine. Spotless clean. A nice quiet village. We slept very well. The courtyard was very private, for some time to read. We wish we could have stayed longer. There is absolutely nothing to criticise, unless you don’t like driving in the mountains
• Eric (10/5): Perfect cottage in Lofou - Beautiful cottage in the picturesque village of Lofou. Location great, near the cafes. Spacious with most comforts, free WiFi, breakfast included in the form of a warm welcoming package of fresh bread, homemade cake and marmalade, a delicatessen platter. Different coffee and teas; butter, eggs, milk, and water in the fridge. A bottle of wine and traditional sweets at the coffee table. Greek-Cypriot hospitality at its finest.The friendly owners make sure you feel at home. Although it is still summer in Cyprus, we did not need to use the air-condition, the fan was more than enough due to the cottage's location. We are definitely coming back!
• Atanasov (10/5): Great Stay! - The host was amazing. The village has very good views and restaurants.
• Dale (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful cottage in the middle of a charming town. Exceptional care was taken to make our stay a great one. Since most of the town was closed on Monday the owner left is plenty of food for us (including 4 kids) and a freshly baked cake as well!
• Daniel (10/5): The perfect cottage for a tranquil getaway - The cottage is huge - so much space. The owner was very kind and very helpful in his explanation of the cottage and village in general. Very quiet and tranquil village - you can escape the world in this place. We were honestly awe-struck at how amazing this cottage was and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone and everyone! As well as the fridge having plenty, they also made cake and left wine for us too!
• Andrew (10/5): Wonderful, authentic and memorable stay in Lofou village - Wonderful hosts! Xenios gave us a personal tour of the village, offering great insights and local history. They left a nice spread of cold cuts, bread, wine and coffee and teas on the house -- his wife even baked a cake. Our stay felt like an authentic village home in Cyprus, exactly what we wanted. The place is comfortable, charming and immaculately clean. Loved the patio area for evening wine and morning coffee. Highly recommended! Nothing not to like.
• Marek (10/5): Exceptional - Beyond expectations in all aspects. Amazing both the accommodation and the village. Great care and support from the owner.
• Charalambos (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent and quiet agritourism accommodation in the scenic village centre, near to restaurants, bakeries and a small market. The host was great in communication and very helpful. Rich breakfast materials and other freebies were also a plus. Nothing to mention here
• Demetris (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent pre arrival contact and arrangements. Everything was perfect during the stay, exceeding our expectations, including the room, the service, the cleanliness. We wish we knew better that we should have a comfortable pair of shoes in order to move around in the village (this had nothing to do with the cottage). We dressed for a wedding but those who knew better, dressed with a suit and sports shoes!!!
• Nina (10/5): Definitely coming back again - The best stay and host ever! Everything was just perfect and actually Xenios and his cottage deserve 11 out of 10 😊 There's absolutely nothing not to like
• Matej (10/5): Exceptional -
• Omry (10/5): Great experience, highly recommended!! - Beautiful stone house, great location. Lofou is a beautiful village. Xenios is a wonderful person and a perfect host. we had a great welcoming and had a chance to experience the real Cyprus thanks to his pleasant and professional hospitality! We would like to thank Xenios for a wonderful experience. We will definitely come back!
• Galsun (10/5): An amazing stay, we highly recommend this place!! - Beautiful authentic house,, very clean, the kitchen is very equipped and comfortable. The host is AMAZING - the refrigerator was full with fresh products, and at the kitchen were also breads, jams, home made cake and pastries. He took us to a 1.5 hour tour throughout the breathtaking brick roads of Lofou with explanations about the interesting history of the place

• Elena (9/5): Superb -
• Natalia (10/5): Our best holiday on Cyprus - This house is one of the best places we have ever been. We booked two houses - they are in the same courtyard - which was very convenient. The first big house - the main house where we spent all the time (there were 4 couples with children), celebrated the New Year. The houses provide everything you need for living - washing machine, dishwasher, coffee maker (two types), kettle, clothes dryer, hair dryer, iron, large refrigerator, modern kitchen, air conditioners, etc. The owner put in additional heaters for warmth, and there were also plenty of extra blankets. The houses had linens (extra linen was also provided), towels, soap and shower gel/shampoo, dishwashing liquid (dishwasher tablets) and laundry detergent. The owner is a very nice and attentive person - he met and showed us everything, he was always in touch by phone and helped us with any questions. In the houses there was a compliment from the owner - local wine, eggs, fresh bread, milk, cheese and sausage for breakfast, children's breakfast cereal, honey, jam, sugar, coffee, tea, pies from the owner's wife. The kitchen has all the necessary utensils - pots, pans, cutlery, plates, glasses, mugs and much more. As well as olive oil, vinegar, salt / pepper / spices, sugar. In the courtyard there is a barbecue area, tables and chairs. The whole territory is very nicely decorated - a lot of interior things - figurines, books. There was also a TV and music center (we did not use them), the Internet worked fine, a couple of board games. The location is perfect - a couple of minutes down and into the city center. The village is small, very cozy, old and beautiful. Everything is fine
• Romain (10/5): A wonderful cottage, in one of Cyprus’s most beautiful villages, with the best host ever - The location in the beautiful village of Lofou, the place itself, which is very beautiful, authentic, and very well equipped, and of course Xenios, who is the best host ever, very friendly, welcoming, always willing to help and give you the best advice to ensure you have a good stay! nothing, everything was great
• Constantinos (10/5): Amazing Hospitality Comfortable Accommodation - The host was very friendly. He also provided us all the basic needs for the breakfast. The accommodation was very comfortable and has everything that you need. I would stay again and I recommend it.
• Jo (10/5): Fantastic traditional apartment with excellent friendly hosts in a gorgeous location! - Xenios was a very friendly, welcoming and considerate host. He and his wife left lovely treats for us to enjoy our stay, and was very helpful in showing us the village and recommending local sights for us to visit during our stay. The room was lovely and traditional, had everything we could need for our stay, was spotlessly clean, and had a comfy bed. Great central location within the village, with parking just around the corner. Best place we have stayed in Cyprus. Highly recommend!
