Poseidon's Pool Paradise

We liked the old village building outlook and vibe (renovated), the view to the lower countryside and the sea in the distance. We also liked the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, the availability of free parking (although a bit further away), the view to the swimming pool. We also liked the super market that had everything we needed to prepare some food in our room (short car journey).

Some of the residents were a bit noisy and not too respectful of the rest of us (it seems that they were notified by the management of the property). The rooms were uphill and even though this presents an opportunity for some exercise, it was a bit difficult for me as I had a minor ankle injury.

The apartment: Our apartment (no. 5) was very clean and tidy, with a lot of space and a large sleeping room, two little balconies and a cozy veranda that looks at the courtyard and pool. There was a shared filter coffee machine, toaster and some household items that you can use and return. No oven though, only microwave and a few stoves. The host: The host was helpful and there when we needed any assistance. The pool: The pool was exceptionally clean and well maintained, we used it even in October. It's not too deep even for me, and I can't swim. The location: It's a really small village with a small population, so it was really nice to just chill, walk around a bit and pick limes or white pomegranates from trees. The supermarket Alfamega is 10 minutes away and has everything you might need. The feeling: This place gave us a little glimpse of traditional living, with all the modern amenities. It was relaxing and calm.

For those who really care: The ants: There were some really tiny ants both at the veranda and inside, not too much, it didn't bother us, honestly. The slope: There is a climb and a steep slope to get to the location, especially right before the entrance. That was fine for us, we didn't mind, but it's probably not for people who have trouble walking. The transport: You can't get to many places if you don't have a car. And remember, driving is on the left side, so we didn't dare renting. It's not well connected with public transport and the transport itself was unreliable. It was easy and cheap to get to Skarinou from Nicosia though. We had to pay a 40€(+15€ for luggage) taxi to Larnaca after we checked out because the bus simply didn't come when scheduled. The lights: The lights are too strong honestly, we wish it was a bit warmer and weaker. There was a lamp in our apartment, luckily. The tilt: the floors are not really even, if you really care, not a big deal.

Everythig was fine :)

There was a lot of ants and I missed an oven…

La ubicación era buena y el exterior y el aire acondicionado .

No estaba limpio, tuvimos las mismas toallas durante tres días que no secaban, no ponen gel ni champú y cuando avisamos al dueño nos dijo que lo compráramos en el alojamiento. La TV es ridícula y no tiene mando. Las almohadas son de papel de fumar, la contraseña del wifi no es la que pone en el cartel , sino la que aparece debajo del aparato. A partir de las seis de la mañana se escuchan ya a la gente hablar como si estuvieran en tu habitación .
