A spacious villa (especially as there were only the two of us!) set close to the main road between Famagusta and Iskele, which feels very much like a home from home. Not quite warm enough in November to use the pool, though it looked very inviting. The villa is a comfortable base for visiting the eastern side of North Cyprus, with both Famagusta and Iskele a short drive away. (A car is definitely recommended for North Cyprus) The more developed northern shore is under an hour away by car. There are a few restaurants within walking distance, and beaches are a 5-10 minute drive. All the restaurants we ate in were great, but if you want a real local experience, we'd recommend Mertekli Meyhane in Mutluyaka, and have the fixed menu (Warning - go when you're VERY hungry!). Also don't miss Petek Patisserie in Famagusta Old Town (and a local branch in Iskele) There are plenty of other recommendations in the visitors book, you won't be short of places to see or eat. Jackie who looks after the villa is also very helpful. A great stay - thank you!
P.S. if you drive out to the Karpas peninsula, you'll need carrots or some other vegetable/fruit to "pay" for access to the road past the monastery - you'll find out why!
Many thanks for letting us stay in your lovely villa. We had a brilliant time and lovely October/November weather. Hope to stay again in the future. Thanks again
Lovely large Villa, with the use of the swimming pool. Great for a family get together.
We stayed for 3 nights. Good cooking facilities if you want to stay in. Good restaurants if you want to go out. We also found a very good Chinese Takeaway on the outskirts of Famagusta, left a menu at the Villa.
The beaches are not that clean as so much plastic and rubbish, which is a shame but seems to be the norm for Northern Cyprus. We enjoyed the ruins of Silamis and old town Famagusta.
Relaxing and peaceful time at the villa, the kids have loved the pool. Do hire a car to enjoy the surroundings including releasing the turtles which was amazing. Lots of good eateries in nearby Famagusta. Kyrenia is a good day trip. City Mall in Famagusta worth a visit as is the short drive to Salamis Ruins. The local Famagusta beach is good for snorkelling with a few different fish. We hope future guests enjoy your stay as much as we did.
La casa e dotata di ogni elettrodomestico, riscaldamento centralizzato e cucina attrezzata.
i letti sono comodi, andrebbero sistemati i bagni al piano superiore, perchĂš un po' datati.
La zona non Ăš delle migliori per accedere comodamente al mare a causa della superstrada.
in complesso tutto il resto Ăš accettabile e ben organizzato per un soggiorno tranquillo per sei persone.
We were a group of 7 and we had a lovely time in the villa, we stayed there last summer aswel it's a lovely place and the area and neighbours are also all very lovely.
Colin is so helpful with everything we needed, and responded to any emails instantly.
Will 100% be booking again in the near future. It has become a home away from home for my family. Thank you.
