Villa Anthoulis

The location, the villa itself (very comfortable, big windows, great terrace).

We had a problem with hot water. The water was supposed heat up on sunny days, but there was also an electric switch, that was supposed help in case the water was cold. The switch didn't work and we didn't have hot water for 2 days and it took 4 tries to reach help. 2x messaging Booking.com, 1x calling Booking and 1x calling an emergency number on the instruction on site, which finally resolved the issue. The technician showed up within 30min, told us that nobody called him until that evening and then fixed the problem within 1h (he needed to go pick up a part from a shop). 2 days without hot water were no fun.

Best venue we stayed in during our Cyprus trip (out of 4). Spacious, quiet, clean. Has most of the things you need to self-cater (pots, pans, cutlery, even teas and coffees - only thing missing really was some spices like salt and pepper, you need to get these yourself). TV with working Netflix account pre-set, but also with a casting capability (so you can play a movie from your laptop wirelessly on the bigger screen). There was a welcome package in the fridge (water, wine, bread, ham, cheese, eggs), much appreciated. Swimming pool was very cold :-) There is an outside grill - but there was no coal/wood and no fire-starter, therefore we didn't use it. There is some bathroom amenities, but most likely you'd need to get more toilet paper and soaps :-) Local beach / village is 30 minute walk one-way (if you want to minimize drink-and-driving), there is a bunch of bars and restaurants there (some actually pretty good).

I'd like at least one window in each room to be covered by a mosquito net - that way you could air your house with no insect worries. Oh, and I could use a power socket near the big dinner table (it was a working vacation, and laptop needs a charge after all). No dishwasher, need to do your own dishes.

The house was very clean and the owner was very supportive.

Great villa with lovely pool and views. Clean rooms and loads of space

Was a little tricky to find
