Lovely well equipped bungalow, in the village of Bellapais, offering amazing views.A small car is needed as property is up a steep narrow road, but location is perfect.
A quaint villa, with wonderful views out towards Kyrenia and perfectly situated for the best of Bellapais.
There's been some really positive improvements made to this villa in recent years, such as upgrades to the bathrooms and added parking, which is massively helpful. More focus is still needed on the basics though, in particular better kitchen utensils, patio furniture and proper wi fi. Nevertheless, this is still a great little villa on the edge of a beautiful village, and is accurately but competitively priced.
We have stayed in Bellapais many times and found the villa easily. Parking concerns were put to rest as a parking bay has been built at the house.
The villa is situated at the top of a narrow and steep hill - hence the wonderful views, but it is a climb and not for the elderly. We would recommend a small car - if only to get the shopping (including water bottles) - up the hill!
The villa was clean, welcoming and furnished comfortably without clutter. There are attractive prints on the walls. There is more than adequate linen and decent bedroom storage. Two of the three bathrooms are new and the shower was probably the best we had experienced in Bellapais (decent water pressure for Bellapais!).
The swimming pool is small but a perfect size for cooling off. The pool terrace area has one of the best views in Bellapais/Kyrenia. There is even a very gentle breeze!
The (admittedly minor) disappointment was the kitchen. Decent fridge, gas cooker and microwave but poor kitchen and dining equipment -rather studenty - and let the villa down. I would have struggled to cook for a family group. We decided we would eat out every night (not a hardship as the restaurants in Bellapais are great!). The dongle WiFi was adequate for messages and emails.
The agent was extremely approachable and responded quickly to our minor concerns which she dealt with promptly.
Our best Bellapais villa experience so far and we have every intention of staying here again!
Villa very difficult to find,for sale banner over name,locals had to help get us to the villa as road is very steep and narrow.other access was up 72 very uneven steps with no handrail not good for my 92yrs old father.There were lots of things wrong ,I will send all faults by post to you.Mrs Diane Fairley
We moved here permanently in 2004, after many visits to the parentsâ holiday home. We fell in love with North Cyprus with its great climate and friendly people, but were surprised by the difficulties with keeping a continuity of house maintenance and repair. Long distance home ownership brings many difficulties and worries which we want to eliminate for our clients.
To stay and enjoy village life in Bellapais The perfect spot if you like to spend your time in a quiet area but not too far away from Bellapais village life. Villa Mistral is a delightful villa set at the top of the charming village of Bellapais, overlooking the beautiful ruined Abbey of Bellapais.
