Villa Marina for rent in Kathikas,Paphos ..Family friendly near Coral Bay.

This was a repeat visit to Villa Marina and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Kathikas is a beautiful village with great restaurants and wineries. We had one small issue with the dishwasher and Marina, the owner, responded very quickly and it was resolved the same day.

We couldn’t have asked for more from our stay, the villa is just lovely, set in a lovely village, with a great host who left us plenty of starter supplies that came in ver handy when we arrived slightly later that hoped. You are not far from several beaches and plenty to do. We visited with 3 children aged 5-11 and they all loved it. The host also has a restaurant in Paphos called the moorings which is a must with great food and a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. From there you are within walking distance to some very impressive Roman ruins. Another highlight was the local vineyard. There are two very close to the villa and we visited Sterna winery. They have an ancient cave where they age some of the wine and a short tasting session which lasted just long enough for the children to have cake and ice cream so they didn’t get bored. Would not hesitate to recommend villa Marina to anyone.

The house was a great size - so much room for a family of 5. All 4 bedrooms had air con and tons of wardrobe/storage space. We were there in July and definitely needed the air con. Downstairs was a large lounge/dining area and kitchen. The kitchen really had everything you could need in it. Then in the basement was a full size pool table and outside table tennis table which both got well used. There are 2 cats who visit daily. We are cat people so bought some food for them and fed them outside. They were very good and somehow knew not to come inside the house. The owner Marina left us a welcome pack of bread, milk, cheese, water etc which was much appreciated as we arrived late. The shop in the village is amazing! The couple who run it are lovely and friendly and they literally stock everything! We did a big Lidl shop the first day but just used the village shop after that. We ate out almost every night so it was just food for the day really. Yiannis Tavern in the village was our favourite restaurant there. They give you free bread, garlic bread and a Greek salad each time then delicious home made cheesecake at the end of the meal. Other than that we ate out in Polis or Coral Bay. Highlights other than the Villa were hiring a boat from Latchi for the morning, a local waterfall walk and many visits to Corallia beach. Obviously the pool at the house was a big hit and there were plenty of loungers and shade if needed. Equally there was all day sunshine there.

Amazing large spacious villa in a perfect location in the small village of Kathikas. Villa had everything you could need, pool great size and well maintained with lots seating area outside to have your pick off. Host really helpful and we had a welcome pack of food and drink that was very appreciated waiting for us when we arrived . There a few small taverns on your door step and food was great with really friendly people. Yianni’s tavern was great with friendly staff amazing food and service and great value for money, would definitely recommend. Also about a 3 minute walk from villa is an oriental restaurants The Farm Yard, again amazing food and fab location .We couldn’t fault the Villa at all and would definitely go back.
