Villa Stay

Lovely stay in a spacious villa. Well equipped and very comfortable. Has a lovely pool and outside area, the only drawback being the traffic noise from the E709 road which is directly behind the garden wall. If you live in a busy area this might not bother you but we found the noise a little distracting.

Wow what can I say absolutely excellent. I stayed in this villa 10 years ago and each time I go to Cyprus I check availability and this is the first time I managed to get it booked again and it certainly didn't disappoint. It was great before it is fantastic now. The villa is absolutely spotless the cleanest I have stayed in. The bathrooms have all been renovated and are ultra modern and just great. No expense has been spared on the cost of the furniture as it is top of the range. Have become more aware of the local transport in Cyprus and for me you could go to this villa and a car is not necessary if you look up the time of the buses, which are only about hourly but when on holiday who is in a hurry to get anywhere.

Hi Peter, thanks for taking the time to submit your review and we're delighted you enjoyed your stay. The subject of a hot tub being listed as a facility is a mystery as we have never had a hot tub at the Villa and wouldn't dream of misrepresenting it as such in the listing as its patently obvious that there isn't one. After contacting VRBO about this and been through the Villa facilities in the listing we are unable to find "hot tub" listed for the Villa. Thanks again for choosing our Villa. We've passed your comments back to the management company to ensure that cleaning under the beds is done more dilligently in future.

Beautiful surroundings and a very quiet, peaceful location. The villa is very well presented, perfectly clean, freshly decorated (Everything looks brand new!) and is extremely well equipped.The bedrooms are an excellent size, the master with a charming en suite. The garden is also very well maintained with a super pool and BBQ area. There are local shops and very good restaurants, pubs and tavernas all within a few minutes drive.

Lovely Villa

Me and my partner stayed here from 8th May for 2 weeks. The villa is very well equipped, including a washing machine and dishwasher and has all the amenities you could want - very much a home from home. My other half was particularly pleased that there is SKY TV so he could watch his football team's last matches of the season (although they lost both!). The pool was excellently looked after by Robin who was very chatty and gave us some good tips of where to eat. Coral Bay is only a few minutes away by car and our favourite restaurant was Seriani which we visited a few times. There is also a very good supermarket nearby so you'll never go hungry. The owners Grahame and Helen were very helpful and booking was extremely easy. I would thoroughly recommend this villa as a great place to stay.

Lovely villa

Its a beautifully large and open villa with nice clean rooms and effective air conditioning. It has a wonderful sized pool which is perfect for cooling off in the afternoon. Lots of outside furniture, a good sized BBQ area and the kitchen is well equiped. A good security system is in place to give you peace of mind when leaving the villa. The property is located in a good area with only a very short drive to coral bay and the local supermarket. Lots of restaurants and bars very close by. Overall we liked the villa but the one down point was that we did find the road behind the rear garden very noisy. There have been and still are lots of road works and road changes in the area which has clearly had an impact, so hopefully this will change.

Hi Emma, thank you for taking the time to write your review, Helen and I greatly appreciate it. Reviews by guests are enormously helpful for other travellers when considering their destinations. Your observation regarding the road noise is entirely valid but thankfully not permanent. The Peyia municipality have been carrying out extensive road improvements which diverted all traffic from Coral Bay to Peyia passed the rear of the Villa. This is now complete and consequently the road is now back to normal and significantly less busy. Once again, thank you for choosing Villa Mariposa and Helen and I hope you’ll return in the future.

A breath of fresh air

This property was just what our family needed: a breath of fresh air! A laid back setting with views of the sea, literal fresh air coming in through the ample windows. We felt no need to turn on the AC during our 5 day stay. Simple decor, clutter free space with just what we needed. We used the grill and kitchen everyday for dinners at the house. The kids enjoyed the outside space and pool. We appreciated the washing machine and dishwasher to make clean up a little easier. A few things that would make the stay a little nicer would be hand soap in each of the bathrooms, and shampoo in the showers. Also a wash cloth or two would have been nice. These little touches would have made it a full 5 star property! Would definitely be back and recommend to friends! Thanks for a wonderful stay

Hi Mary, Thanks very much for taking the time to submit a review. Yes, the sea views are excellent especially in the mornings and evenings from the upper veranda. The external BBQ area next to the pool is always popular with guests. In this last year we’ve refurbished both the family bathroom with a large walk in shower area and also refurbished the downstairs cloakroom. This winter the en-suite will also be completely modernised. Your points on shampoo and soaps are noted, although being self catering guests tend to bring their own toiletries. Thanks again for your excellent review and we hope you’ll return soon. Grahame and Helen.

Excellent villa

Having rented many villas in Cyprus over the last 12 years , this really is one of the best we have stayed in . From the initial contact with Grahame and Helen ,any questions or queries were answered very swiftly . Firstly , the detailed directions to the villa ,and a very comprehensive guide to the property all emailed over in plenty of time before arrival . The villa itself is spacious and was very clean upon arrival , kitchen has literally everything you need should you wish to cook a meal , which we did a few times , the bathrooms and wc all refurbished and power showers to really make them feel quite luxurious . Bedrooms have plenty of storage and efficient air conditioning, 2 of which open to a large terrace with great ocean views . Lounge / diner is very spacious , tv has literally every channel you could ever want to watch ( handy for the sports fan in our family ) The large pool terrace has adjustable sun shades which are perfect to keep the afternoon sun off the seating areas , gardens are very well looked after and the large pool was crystal clear during our whole stay . A supermarket just around the corner and a short drive to the centre of coral bay or peyia town make this a great location. The monitored house alarm also gives peace of mind . A very relaxing home from home , thank you Grahame and Helen . We Look forward to staying again. Andy & Fay

Hi Andy and Fay, thank you for taking the time to send your stunning 5 star review. Helen and I are delighted you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday. Over the last 2 years we’ve taken the time during the quieter winter months to completely modernise both of the Villa’s bathrooms and the downstairs loo as well as a seasonal re-decoration both inside and out. As well as modernising and replacing all of the external furniture on both the upper and lower terraces. Reviews are particularly helpful to travellers when trying to decide their destination and are faced with a myriad of options so nothing speaks better than a comprehensive and complimentary review such as yours.

A Home Away from Home

Everything about this property from the first minute you walk in shouts quality. Firstly, the alarm system makes you feel well protected. As you walk in you realise the Size of the place it is huge. Then a quick open of the shutters and you realise the grounds are also and impressive part of your stay. Well-kept gardens with lemon trees, rose bushes always perfectly kept by the Lovely Gardener. The Dining area outside and the barbeque were great for us too. Also, the pool is Immaculate and cleaned twice a week. Inside the house is usually cool if you keep the shutters closed when you are out during the day. We used the aircon only three times in the babies’ room when she was trying to sleep. The bedrooms are a substantial size, two of which open onto a veranda which our baby loved to sit out on. The kitchen is well equipped with only the best quality electrical appliances. In fact, everything that was put in here by the hosts is quality. From the Toaster all the way to the aircon units. The Kitchen had everything you need The living space we did not use a lot however would be great to chill out and watch a little TV in the evening if that is what you are into. The Local area is fabulous, everything you need you have in Peyia. I highly recommend Haris for breakfast The staff are friendly, and they do bacon like you find in the UK, The Brewery Bar and Wood and Good are also Within walking range for a pint if you do not want to drive. All places are friendly and cheap enough to eat. Phillipos is a massive supermarket within 5 mins if you have a car, or they will deliver to you if you spend over thirty euros. Coral bay is a 10 min drive or a 50-minute walk and has lots of bars and eateries to choose from. You can get a taxi back home for around six euros. I found the best way to get a taxi from anywhere was to tell them peyia stadium then just direct them from the main road. To Sum up, the owners are lovely, they have excellent communication, and no question is too much for them. The Villa is big and finished to an extremely high standard also the grounds are well kept and clean. The area is noticeably quiet, and you are not overlooked. ID say a hire car is not necessary but makes things much easier with children. If you are reading this and wondering whether to book. I would say just do it. Thanks Helen and Grahame , we loved your great place in the sun

Fabulous villa with all mod cons!

We were all absolutely delighted with Villa Mariposa! On arrival we were collected by Akis who we also rented a car from and as Grahame had promised, he was absolutely wonderfully helpful and lovely. The villa was beautifully decorated throughout and very clean. The space was just excellent as we had a family of 5 and didn’t want to feel squashed. The bedrooms were lovely and so were the views from the balcony. We used the kitchen for breakfast and sometimes lunch and it had everything we wanted and more. The pool was very clean and welcoming, although a little chilly in early April. We still swam in it every day and it was hard to get our 8yr old boy out of it. The garden was lovely and the orange blossom smelt divine. Sitting for lunch on the veranda was a lovely treat and although we didn’t use the bbq this time, if we had visited in May-September we would definitely had made use of it. Overall this villa is absolutely worth a visit as is Peyia and Paphos! We will most certainly make another visit and will stay longer than a week next time. Thank you very much for letting us stay!

House was lovely, very clean, very comfortable considering that we had our 18 months old child with us. Kitchen has all the amenities you need, pool was very clean, house is very well maintained. Communication with the owner was beyond excellent Definitely revisiting and recommending it.

Relaxing getaway

Just returned from an amazing week at the villa. Great location for us wanting to be slightly away from the hustle and bustle of the strip, but only a 2 minute drive to the supermarket and 5-10 minutes from the beautiful sandy beach. The Villa itself was fantastic. It was clean, modern, spacious, secure and peaceful. We absolutely loved the huge pool, especially with it being scorching hot. Grahame and Helen were amazing throughout the booking process and till we departed. They provided us with a booklet before we arrived full of useful hints and tips that made our stay. We will definitely be staying again.

Villa Mariposa

Lovely property. Grahame and Helen(the owners) couldn’t have been more helpful and thoughtful. We had a late return flight and they let us have a late checkout, so our last day was very relaxing

About the host

Hosted by Helen and Grahame

Host profile image

We are Grahame and Helen and we purchased our Villa in October 2015 as a second home so 2015 was our first season but so far (now in our 10th season) we have had 59 five star reviews and 2 four star reviews on this site and other platforms. Please read them.

We bought it mainly as a second home for use by family and friends rather than as a business having said that we have done everything possible to make it a memorable
holiday home for our guests.

Each year we improved the property inside and out buying new furniture, Italian leather sofas, new beds for all bedrooms, new bedding and towels, completely decorated internally every season, new Bosch fridge freezer, washing machine, new pool liner with mood lighting, high power pumps to boost the low water pressure for the showers, new veranda awnings and in February 2020 the family bathroom was completely modernised with a huge walk in shower and wet room. In January 2023 we refurbished the downstairs loo and, as we do every year, redecorated the living areas and downstairs veranda. In 2024 we full refurbished the master bedroom en-suite bathroom.

Why they chose this property

We both love Cyprus and have been many times. Grahame was based there twice with HM Forces and we both know the area well. Most people speak English and are very friendly, having looked extensively around the island Peyia seemed the obvious choice.

What makes this property unique

Located in the exclusive Vrisi Village complex, Villa Mariposa boasts 3 terraces all well furnished. The rear lower terrace runs the length of the Villa and is next to the pool and BBQ area. The upper terrace, with access from both double bedrooms, is also fully furnished and runs the length of the Villa with stunning views of the Mediterranean as well as mountain views. You will find ease of access to local shops, bars and restaurants all within walking distance. Coral Bay is a five minute drive away. Paphos itself with its new mall with international designer outlets and a multiplex cinema is about 15 minutes by taxi or you can use the excellent bus service which runs regularly and the bus stop is 2 minutes from the Villa.
Having said that the Villa is quiet enough should you just wish to chill round the pool or have a BBQ.
