Guest Reviews

• Valentina (9/5): - Bella struttura in un caratteristico paesetto con posizione centrale rispetto alle varie località da vedere sull isola. Stanza ampia e con angolo cucina. Nulla... Non posso recensire lo staff xk non ho incontrato nessuno di persona xk il check in si fa da soli con le indicazioni ricevute
• Verica (7/5): I like this place, anyway. And because we needed place to sleep, we were satisfied with value for money. - Great location and style. Bathrooms could be cleaner, poor equipment in bathrooms. Longer curtains in shower better protects from flooding. Beds are very “noisy”. You can hear each movement of others. A little more investment is necessary to upgrade property from good to excellent.
• Nancy (10/5): -
• Marcin (10/5): - Fantastic! Traditional Cypriot houses, easy check-in and a perfect location. Very clean and cozy inside. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. Friendly cats :D. Highly recommended! In winter time the TV could be nice addition for a long evenings, during the summer I think it is not needed as a place around and swimming pool are totally enough for spending the happy time.
• clement (9/5): Très bien - L’emplacement au calme et dans un petit village très agréable ! Manque d’oreiller et l’usure des matelas. J’ai manquer également de confort en terme de manque de canapé dans le salon et table avec seulement trois chaise alors que nous étions 4 la Clim du haut ne fonctionnait pas.

• Antria (8/5): Ευχάριστο περιβάλλον, πανέμορφος χώρος και σπιτάκια αλλά κακή εξυπυρέτηση. - Στην τηλεφωνική εξυπυρέτηση δε μιλούσε κανένας ελληνικά και τα αγγλικά τους ήταν σχεδόν χάλια. Δεν μπορούσες να συνεννοηθείς. Επίσης δε μπορείς να δεχθείς επισκέπτες - ούτε καν για καφέ.
• Eva (8/5): Un paraíso de tranquilidad - Lo pintoresco del pueblo y tranquilad. También nos gustó la distribución del apartamento Un 10 a la atención de mensajes con el alojamiento, están pendientes a las preguntas o necesidades en todo momento y súper rápidos en resolver cualquier duda o problema Solo tenía una sartén grande y estaba estropeada del uso, por lo que se pegaba cuando cocinábamos.

• ΓΕΩΡΓΙΟΣ (7/5): Πολύ καλό κατάλυμα προσιτό και σε κεντρικό μέρος του νησιού που μπορείς να πας παντού!! - Καθαρό το κατάλυμα πετσέτες τουαλέτα όλα καθαρά Δυστυχώς είχαμε και εμείς επισκέπτες ( κατσαρίδες)όπως και άλλοι που διάβασα ευτυχώς τις είδαμε τελευταία μέρα!!!

• Snezana (8/5): - The place is beautiful and clean. The pool is clean. Problem is if you don’t have a car. From Larnaka you have to go with 2 buses. The Bus which drive to the village goes only 4 times on day. If you have a car everything is super. The village don’t has taverna, but there is very big market which is not expensive. The best seafood is on taverna Mama’s taverna near the sea which is far from accommodation about 15 min by car.
• christian (8/5): - Schwierig zu finden auch auf dem Gelände war das Zimmer schwer zu finden mehrere Telefonate notwendig. Schöne Anlage viele Katzen Küche mit Grundausstattung. wlan sehr gut da direkt im Zimmer. Pool sehr angenehm fast neu aber der Sonnenschutz etwas marode
• Stefano (8/5): - Tutto molto tranquillo e rilassante. Bella struttura, piscina funzionale, ed alloggi piacevoli :)! Piu di una sera in cucina abbiamo trovato uno scarafaggio che si è poi nascosto dietro la cucina o al frigo. Si dovrebbe risolvere il problema di questa presenza 😅 Che altro: C’erano diversi gatti nella struttura che durante la notte camminavano sul tetto del mio alloggio. Si sentiva lo scricciolio del tetto al loro passaggio e mi svegliavano durante la notte 😂 Puliziq buona tranne per ivetri della finestra della doccia :)
• Giuliana (8/5): -
• Carolin (10/5): Kleines Paradies, wo man sich wie Aphrodite fühlen kann - Ein schönes Urlaubsdomizil, wo man auch länger bleiben kann. Die Anlage ist sehr zum wohlfühlen. Wir wurden sehr herzlich in Empfang genommen. Schöner Pool, kleine Küche mit allen Essentials (Öl, Salz und Pfeffer), grosses Schlafzimmer. Wir wären gerne länger in dem kleinen Paradies geblieben Lüftung im Bad war etwas laut.
• Ophelie (8/5): - Le lieux atypique, la piscine Les lits et le matelas en particulier
• Hajis (10/5): -
• Phloiphan (8/5): Gute Übernachtungsnöglichkeit & super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis, wirklich hübsch und ruhig. Wir empfehlen ein Auto - Toller Pool, hübsche Zimmer, viel Platz, schöne Terrasse, Parkmöglichkeiten, ruhig, gut klimatisiert durch zwei Klimaanlagen! Kakerlaken in der Küche, Milben im Bett, Reinigungsservice nur alle 4 Tage (wir hatten in 5 Tagen keinen), selten Personal für Fragen oder Service vorhanden.
• Maria (9/5): A convenient place to stay if you want to visit different places in Cyprus. - Nice and clean, big rooms, Cyprus traditional design. An improvement on the steps at the entrance would be useful especially for elderly people.
• Nafsika (10/5): -
• Giorgos (7/5): - Isixo kai filliko perivalon. Kathos kai prosopiko poli e3iperetikoi kai poli filo3enoi anthropi. Thelei mia anakainisi. To stromma sto krevati den itan katholou kalo... Kai polla alla theloun episkevi.
• Devora (10/5): - Very nice village house. It was sparkling clean and comfortable. The location is excellent as is close to everything. Thank you
• Alexis Alexandrou (10/5): -
• Robert (7/5): Would stay again but a little update to the apartment would be good - Lovely stone built traditional apartments located around small courtyards and a little pool area. WE had a large balcony overlooking he pool area. Large supermarket nearby, free parking a short walk away The apartment could do with some renovation and the facilities in the kitchen were very basic
• Neriman (10/5): BEAUTIFUL PLACE! - It's suuuuuch a cozy and a beautiful place, It's perfect if you want to come with friends or family! It was very spacious, it had a shower and a toilet both downstairs and upstairs, and whole the kitchen was downstairs, there was also a stove and sink upstairs which was amazing! There are so many cute cats around, the people staying around are also so warm and friendly, and the place was sooo clean! Also the staff were so helpful before and during check in, very fast to respond via WhatsApp!! It also had a very beautiful balcony upstairs, and there was a sitting area right in front of the entrance with more shade if you want to enjoy a leisurely conversation or food! I 100% recommend this place and also will definitely come back here It's a very quiet neighbourhood and there is a church near as well. BEAUTIFUL, VERY SATISFIED! The bed and the pillows were a bit uncomfortable but other than that everything was amazing.
• Reza (3/5): Poor - Location. We used to go to this place a lot, I think the manager has changed And we will definitely not go again. The rooms were not clean, there were ants, no staff available, the kitchen had no dish drying rack, not enough napkins, the microwave did not work, there were no coffee and tea bags, without a car, it was 15 minutes to the first supermarket, there was no mop, no shampoo The house was for 4 people with a child, there was a small refrigerator that could not fit anything in it, the supplies for 2 days could not fit in the refrigerator
• Amar (10/5): HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - The best thing about this property is the kindness of the owner and politeness of the staff We requested early check in and it was gladly accepted Lady was there for us to guide us through the whole check in process We don’t have nothing but the compliments for the staff
• Maria (9/5): Superb - Very quiet Steep steps
• Tom (10/5): Exceptional -
• Nusa (9/5): Superb - Stone houses in multiple floors are really nice. Peaceful village, close to supermarket and close to highway and good connectivity. Needs renovation...
• Alicja (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great The showers could be better protected from water comming from shower basin
• Agnieszka (10/5): Exceptional -
• David (10/5): Comfortable, quite location, very relaxing - Location, very quiet, Nothing
• Emily (9/5): Superb -
• Roland (8/5): Good Place for people who prefer quite location; Good Access to interesting road cycling routes - Spent 1 week in Cyprus for Cycling; Very quite location; Room was very spacious an roomy; Small Kitchen containing essential tools (Pan, plates, cups....) Although there is a AC Unit which also provides Heating this is not very effective in this old traditional stone houses; In Winter advisable to bring some warm sweater and comfy pants for the evening Warm water difficult and time consuming to adjust - either boiling hot or cold
• Ειρηναίος (6/5): Pleasant - No channels on the tv
• Andrea (8/5): Very good - It was a great property. Good size double room/ spilt level and good cooking facilities. The pool and surroundings were very nice, very clean. Nice and relaxing, lovely plants and cats. The village was in a nice quiet location but it was good to have a hire car, as not much going on but we'd researched this prior and still happy to stay here. Beds were uncomfortable and a bit musty smelling. The property also had a smell of drains on a few days.
• Nigel (10/5): Traditional Cyprus accommodation with all modern amenities. - A wonderful traditional setting with all modern amenities. Location is superb. Would have liked a toaster available. But a higher quality than usual kitchen with large mugs and wine glasses to go along with the view..
• Nigel (10/5): Exceptional -
• Maria (6/5): Pleasant - Jenny, the lady looking after the place, was kind and helpful The accommodation is very old and bathroom certainly needs a renovation! The bedroom window was broken, thus morning light was coming in and waking you up. The property is hard to find, especially arriving at night, as there are not enough/ visible signs. At the entrance there is a sign “Michalis House”, which makes it even more confusing to find!
• Gregory (10/5): Very peaceful and safe and a good support team - Staff team , location , and the village atmosphere, so peaceful All good
• Asyrankulova (10/5): Definitely looking forward to staying here again. - I had a lovely stay! The place is a quiet, very clean and a good value for money. Checkin and checkout was really easy and the hosts were always available via WhatsApp to assist if any questions or issues.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Charmant petit hôtel tout en pierre - Hôtel charmant, le cadre est magnifique C’est calme et la piscine est agréable
• Efthemios (9/5): Paradise - Great location for exploring the island. Beautiful setting. Could do with modernising in the some areas.
• George (8/5): Very good -
• Maria (7/5): Good - Quiet place Small kitchen
• Chris (9/5): Great - The traditional beauty The shower
• Veselin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cosmin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Susan (8/5): Very good -
• Sebastian (8/5): Very good - Chill and quiet village Zero restaurants in the area , all the time you need to travel with the car
• Agnius (9/5): Superb -
• Jolanta (10/5): Exceptional - atmospheric place Location
• István (9/5): Superb - Nice, mediterran enviroment. The apartment numbering could be more stupid secure. It wasn't a good idea to have three apartments numbered one and two, and if you don't watch the precise video sent to check in, you won't find it in the cluttered surroundings. It would make things easier for the stupid customers if each apartment had a unique ID or numbering
• Petra (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yury (10/5): Exceptional -
• Peter (10/5): Nice apartment for price. - Very nice budget apartment which offers more than you are hoping for... Idillyic atmosfere of traditional village. On cloudy days could be problem with warm water, but it is widespread problem on most of the Cyprus. One AC was not heating so it was bit cold in room, but nothing serious...
• Sanja (9/5): Superb - Clean, the bed was ok, also the bedding, dishes in the kitchen enough to prepare meals, microwave, kettle. Terace, bautifully landscaped yard, swimming pool (although not heated). During the night you can hear something walking on the roof, maybe a cat or something. The pillows could be a little bigger and more comfortable.
• Tomasz (9/5): Superb -
• Tomas (6/5): Nothing to see here - Apartment it self looked nice and stylish. It was located in nice village not far from highway and shop. There was nothing to do around. Village it self doesn't have any shop, restaurant, nothing. Beds were very uncomfortable and noisy. We stayed for 3 nights during our trip thru Cyprus and we had to drive a lot to get anywhere interesting.
• Ahmed (8/5): Very good -
• Michael (6/5): - The house were quaint and traditional. The shower room was awful and there was a rusty nail sticking out the floor which was dangerous. If a little bit of consideration was taken to improve these facilities the accommodation would have been lovely. The shower had a hand shower that you could not stand under and water poured out onto the floor everytime you showered. No cleaning was done as we had to ask for the toilet bins to be emptied every second day. The entrance to the accommodation was up a steep slope which was difficult to climb. If this was mentioned we would not have booked.
• Anonymous (9/5): Superb -
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kevin (10/5): 2-week Family Holiday - We loved the quiet location - not much else going on in the village when we were there, not even a shop. However, just two minutes drive away is a large Alpha Mega supermarket. Skarinou is situated around 25 mins drive into Limassol, 45 mins into Larnaca and about an hour over to the Aiya Napa and Protaras area of the island. Paphos is about 75 mins away so ideally placed to explore during your stay. Our two bed apartment was split over two levels with great outdoor space both on the ground floor and on the first floor balcony which is also accessible from the ground floor via a stairway. The accommodation was clean and well- presented. The pool and surrounding area is fantastic and the kids (12 & 10) spent as much time in it as they could. As with the rest of Cyprus, there are many cats around as well as a few kittens which is always a favourite with our daughters. The place is managed and run by a french lady called Jennifer who was lovely and so so helpful. Our apartment could do with a little maintenance - I think the complex was renovated in around 2006 - and in places it shows. The kitchen which wasn't well equipped and could do with updating to include an oven and the shower heads didn't hold up in position without some improvising. They weren't draining well either but otherwise everything worked without issue. The beds were a little hard too - there were slabs of plywood under our mattress so I assumed the springs in the metal frame were shot!
• Aldo (9/5): Superb - Everything was amazing. We will definitely come back.
• Daniel (10/5): Exceptional - Very kind and helpful owner, A/C, location, parking, equipment
• Alexandra (10/5): Wonderful, cozy traditional stones houses surrounding a comforting pool, a drive away from the best beaches! - One of our favourite places we’ve ever stayed at… super cozy, traditional decor, great pool, nice spacious room with all necessities… we were also able to prepare breakfasts and dinners. There’s a lot of super cute cats roaming around and asking for affection. Best of all, Jennifer, the lady working there… is an absolute Angel and took amazing care of us in every way possible. They have some beach umbrellas that guests can borrow, which is also very useful. It’s located in a cute village beside a beautiful church… 2 min from the highway, gas station and a big supermarket. There are big free parking lots nearby too. It’s a self check in process, which is great because you can arrive or leave at any hour! We drove from here to Ayia Napa no problem… much better than staying in Larnaca or Ayia Napa!! We will definitely come back here! Nothing negative!
• Anastasiia (4/5): unlivable place. basic musts and conveniences are missing. - outside area with flowers, plants and stone walls looks cute and cosy 1/2 ACs was working: for 1 remote was not found, for 2 it had dead batteries so it we had to spend one night sweating. i challenge the owner to take a shower in the upper floor bathroom without making a swimming pool on the floor - a pathetic and short curtain is not enough to prevent it. no ashtrays. location is pretty dead, no taverns or cafeneios nearby, no periptero, so this AGROTOURISM means also cooking ourselves?..which we didn't mind, but given all that, no salt pepper or oil was found in the kitchen. believe me, i've stayed in Cyprus village houses and they can be pretty much livable. this is such a cheaply furnished accommodation, with the most old and uncomfortable furniture, i really challenge whoever came up with idea of this place to stay and try to live a usual tourist day - it's not possible
• Photiadou (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marianna (9/5): Superb -
• Rebecca (7/5): Really basic room, looks more nice and bigger on the pictures. No choice of exact room!!! - Air condition, towels, pool. Bathroom in a cabin inside the room, no sun protection outside, ants inside, sofa uncomfortable. Door not that safe to lock.
• Rafael (8/5): Very good -
• Anonymous (10/5): an absolute outstanding location and property. beautiful pool - authenticity. quirkyness staff steep hill but that's just the location also the aircon didn't work after 30 minutes on ground floor. shower head broken.
• Mauricio (9/5): lovely place, good value for the money - Jenifer the hostess is a wonderful person who takes so much care in her job, helpful, friendly and very welcoming. The place is beautiful and the location was great it’s very hard to find since there is no sign in any entrance that said Aphrodite Pool Retreat. Also on booking the address said number 10 when it’s really number 30. At the entrance to the place it said Mari’s place.
• Theodoros (9/5): Superb -
