Luxury Villa With Swimming Pool, 3 Minutes From The Beach Ang Big Private Garden

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Frene and wouldn't hesitate to return if we visit Paphos.We were in Cyprus for a family wedding but wanted somewhere quieter away from the all-inclusive atmosphere, and Villa Frene was the perfect choice. Set in a peaceful location, it offers plenty of privacy while still being within easy reach of Paphos.The hosts were wonderful, friendly, welcoming and always happy to help. The villa is spacious, well-equipped and fully air-conditioned, with a Smart TV for relaxing evenings. Air conditioning is charged separately at 5 per day per bedroom or 10 per day for the lounge.A rental car is definitely recommended as the villa is in a more remote setting, making it much easier to reach shops, restaurants and local attractions. Taxis are available if you don't want to drive, although we found they could sometimes take a little while to arrive because of the villa's location.The resident cats were a real highlight and became part of our holiday. It's worth remembering it's their home, so if you have cat allergies or aren't a cat person, bear that in mind.Some furniture is beginning to show its age, but it didn't affect our stay. I also personally prefer having a safe for passports and valuables when travelling abroad. The villa doesn't have one, but that's simply a personal preference rather than a criticism.Overall, Villa Frene offers excellent value, lots of space and genuinely welcoming hosts. We'd happily stay here again.

Our 2nd stay here, will definitely be back again.Amazing slightly rural location which means the kids can make as much noise as they want.3 mins drive to the beach with an amazing bar.10mins drive to the harbour and cheap enough in a taxi or bolt.Host is Amazing too and very responsive.Thanks again for a nother fab holiday.

Spacious property and hosts are fantastic meeting and greeting us late at night. Gardens are lovely with lots of fruit trees (mandarins, pears, Pomellis etc.) which you can pick and eat in season. Field behind us had an irrigation machine going for the first two days including through the night which bothered one guest a lot and in the early morning there were intermittent bangs (like shotguns) to scare the birds, however we quickly got used to it and they became less frequent as the week progressed.

The villa is stunning, the grounds and pool area are amazing. However, the inside cleanliness, dated furniture, kitchen utensils, lack of hot water left us very dissapointed. There was only s pans in the kitchen to cook with, the microwave didn't work, it started up but wouldn't heat up. One of the downstairs bedrooms had mould on the wall and wouldn't be bale to be slept in. The passegway had plaster hanging of of the wall. We couldn't get hot water in the mornings as the night before was cold and the switch to overide in the master bedroom didn't appear to do anything. The curtains in the sitting room had holes in the bottom, the sofa is quite tatty. This villa could be absolutely amazing if it was updated.
