A beautiful villa with plenty of space and lovely views of the hills. We loved hanging around by the pool in early April for a swim and planning our n ext meal or day trip, it felt like a quiet and comfortable oasis. Perfect for a family holiday.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay, the location was just perfect – peaceful, yet still close to shops and restaurants. The house itself was very clean, spacious, and equipped with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. We especially loved the charming details in the decor and the beautiful garden, where we spent many cozy evenings. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, and everything went smoothly from booking to check-out. We felt completely at home here and will definitely come back.

Lovely Northern Cyprus Bungalow

Spacious and comfortable inside and out. Nicely decorated with modern, well equipped kitchen. Lots of lounging areas, both covered and uncovered, around the pool. Quiet, well kept neighborhood, close to restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed our stay so much that we are planning a return stay for later this year

Excellent villa

We have stayed in a lot of villas in northern Cyprus over the last 30 years and this has been one of the best! Everything about this villa was amazing. Hayat gave us a lovely fridge package when we got there which was just as we needed due to a late flight. The villa was well equipped for everything we needed. We all had an amazing time and would return!

Fantastic villa

I've just got back from a lovely 2 week break at this stunning villa. Communication with Hyat right from the start was excellent. The villa is beautiful and is equipped with everything you would need. Half way through our stay the cleaners came in and did a fantastic job! We also arranged our car hire and transfers through Hyat, which was very easy to do. I would highly recommend this villa to anyone.

What a beautiful villa

The Villa was everything that the photos showed, extremely comfortable and provided everything we could have wished for, including all you would need for a meal or barbecue at home. Hayat was above and beyond, both before the holiday organising taxi transfers and car hire for our stay, and answered all of questions/queries before and during our stay promptly, nothing was too much trouble. We travelled with friends and we all would return again and definitely would recommend to everyone for a relaxing, enjoyable holiday.

5* villa revue

This villa is in an excellent location 2 minutes from shops and 5 minutes from aquapark. It was spotlessly clean and lived up to all our expectations. Hayat and her team were very helpful upon our arrival and gave us a detailed tour of all the amenities the house has to offer. A nice touch was the welcome package and also that the villa has a drinking water filter system so no need to buy water bottles. Fantastic stay and would defo book again.

Beautiful House!!

We stayed two weeks at the house in July 2025 and had the best time. The house is beautiful, very spacious and well equipped. It was quite hot so we especially appreciated the pool and the AC in all of the rooms. Beds are all super comfy and we cooked a lot of delicious meals in the large kitchen. We loved the outside area with lots of lounge areas and seating options. If you are looking for a house in Northern Cyprus, you cannot go wrong with this home away from home! Highly recommend renting a car though.Thank you, Hayat, for helping us with airport transportation and car rental. And for giving us a late check out. Communication with you could not have been better/easier. We hope we will be back one day!

Our second stay at this very comfortable bungalow. We love the outdoor space which offers a great shaded area and also plenty of space for sun seekers. Enjoyed eating by the pool some evenings too.Very well equipped kitchen. Spacious living area. Everywhere was beautifully clean when we arrived. Pool was cleaned regularly during our 2 week stay.Host is easily contactable and was very responsive during our stay. Also arrange the airport transfers and hire car. The road is very quiet. There is a large hotel in walking distance (a torch is useful at night as the pavements are uneven) that is good for cocktails. There is also a great coffee bar and also a fast food restaurant in the hotel building. Otherwise, you really need a car.Great relaxed beach club with restaurant 5 mins drive and lots of restaurants 5-10 mins drive. Short drive to the Turtle centre (SPOT). We booked an evening visit to release the baby turtles.A very relaxing stay

Very comfortable and well equipped villa

The villa had all that we needed. Down a quiet street off the main coast road. Good AC units throughout which are on timers so you do have to switch them back on in the night if you need more than 2 hours cooling. We didn’t find this a problem Well equipped kitchen with air fryer, microwave, full size oven and gas hob. Large fridge/freezer. Very comfortable beds Pool area was wonderful with a very comfortable covered outdoor sitting area to escape the sun or relax in the evening. Also very comfortable sun beds. Could not fault the villa and would definitely return. We hired a car as the heat and roads not great for walking anywhere. Fantastic beach club 5 mins drive which also had a great seafood restaurant. Overall, a great stay.

Not told of major construction of hotel & villas close by

Villa furnished beautifully, kitchen very well equipped. However, I strongly feel it was not checked over prior to our arrival. Lots of hiccups,TV not working, no BBQ, towel rail hanging off one side, shower head broken, no instructions for the safe, all fixed over time, but inconvenience and hassle for us. The main issues were a major construction site nearby, one large hotel and several villas being built, which created considerable amount of noise and dust, it also blocked the sea view that the villa was advertised with, which was one of the reasons we chose the villa.The villa next door was also being refurbished, contributing even more noise.We were not advised of these building works, either at the time of booking or at any point prior to our arrival. I called the owner on our first day to raise the issues she said she would give us a full refund if we preferred to relocate elsewhere. We are all over 65 first time in this area, and had no idea where else to go, so decided to stay. This in hindsight was a mistake, we did not realise just how noisy and dusty it was.Another major issue was the pool,the first time the pool men visited, I told them it wasn't clean, they said it needed chemicals and salt. The water still didn't recirculate properly therefore leaving insects, leaves and dirt floating in the water, obviously the pump was defective.They finally replaced the pump, but sadly only 5 days before we left the villa.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. From the outset, I offered you a full refund for the lack of sea views, which after reading my summary, I realised is promised and suggested alternative accommodation nearby, but you chose to stay. I also provided complimentary extras, including an additional night and a welcome pack, to help make your stay more comfortable. Regarding the noise, the renovations at the neighboring property were entirely unexpected and beyond my control. Thankfully, those works have now stopped. The villa itself is generally very peaceful, as confirmed by current guests and my own experience living nearby. I understand that not having a sea view was disappointing for you, but this was clearly stated in the property description. I did my best to address your concerns throughout your stay, and I’m glad to have seen you enjoying the villa and its amenities, such as the BBQ area. I always strive to ensure guests have a positive experience, and I’m sorry that you felt otherwise. I wish you all the best in your future travels.

Prachtig ingerichte vakantievilla met een heerlijk verwarmd zwembad! Meer dan genoeg ruimte voor een groot gezin en in de warme zomer is het huis heerlijk koel door middel van airco's. Alles in het huis werkt goed en Hayat en haar team reageren altijd snel en professioneel bij vragen of benodigde hulp. Een echte aanrader!

Family break

From initial search to completing the holiday everything went perfectly. The villa was the best one we have ever had in Cyprus. Beautifully presented with a complete range of saucepans and crockery to enable you to do whatever cooking you would like or plenty of nearby eateries and bars to visit if you didn't want to cook. Owner was very friendly and helpful all the way and was very open to any constructive criticisms to help find improvements for the future. Great experience that I would fully recommend. Loads of room for six people.
