I feel bad writing a negative review because a) this is a beautiful villa b) the owner is very welcoming and c) the location is fantastic. However I do think it is only fair to warn people that - though I have been told this was only issue for me and also some time last year (hard though to understand though this is, but another reviewer refers to it, something I asked about in advance) - in my case the stay was ruined by incessant dog barking. The main culprit lives in a very small kennel just a few yards across from the property at another house, is completely ignored by its owners, and barks very loudly out of distress on and off through the day and night. The result is that it I found it impossible to relax either out by the pool - so sad, as it is beautiful - or indeed inside the property, where the noise is still loud. It reaches a point where even if the dog isn't barking, you know it will soon enough, thereby defeating any attempts at relaxation. I spent as much time out as I could and still managed to enjoy much of my visit because it is such a nice area, but it is not the holiday I anticipated.
The issue of animal cruelty is not for this review, though I suspect keeping a dog in quite such a confined space in the baking heat is not on even as far as Cyprus animal welfare inspectors would be concerned, but the noise is of note to perspective holidaymakers. You may very well be luckier than I was and have a fabulous time, as the vast majority of reviewers seem to have, but it is undoubtedly a major risk you may wish to consider.
Once again, no complaints whatsoever about the villa itself. Eos were good with the information, the owner was generous in helping me find the property at night-time when I arrived, and were it not for the major problem immediately across the road I would have no hesitation offering 5 stars.
