It has sea views, off-road parking and is located on the new resort complex of Hilltop, Safaköy. In addition to our pool, the complex also has a communal pool and a restaurant/bar/coffee shop. Hilltop is just a 25 minute walk or a 5 minute drive from Boğaz fishing village which is a small unspoilt village with harbour, cafes, bars, restaurants and supermarket. Boğaz is 25 km north of the historic town of Famagusta and near to the beaches and countryside of the Karpaz Peninsula (the pan-handle). Northern Cyprus is a lovely country to visit; the locals are friendly, English is widely spoken, the prices are reasonable, they drive on the left and the summer season is long and sunny.

Amazing apartment for a chill out holiday. A lovely pool right on the door step. Clean and spacious. Stuart the owner couldn't be more helpful. Always in hand for any problems.
The only issue we had was when we first arrived was the washing machine being (out of order)
Friend wanted to wash their clothes but they couldn’t.
Sadly the Beds weren’t made for us and we had no towels on arrival. Kitchen area could have been a little cleaner…
Towels arrived damp but we were able to dry them fast dryer provided.
As soon as I spoke with Stu, he was very fast in contacting me and trying to resolve the issues I brought to his attention ASAP. However the machine wasn’t fixed.
It is a Peaceful area to stay in. Not as close to the beach as I had hoped for.
But the apartment was a good size for four people. Amenities are a drive away, in the complex there is a restaurant we went to where the food was nice and Stu bought us some drinks which was a nice gesture of goodwill for the issues at the start.
Overall it was a decent stay.
We weren’t happy with Our pillows and they were changed as soon as we said we had issues. .
If you’re going to stay here you will need a car as you don’t have things at walking distance.
We stayed at Fiona and Stu's villa for two weeks in August. We wish it had been longer. We thought when booking that our teenage children would get bored without a constant stream theme parks and water parks, but we were wrong. Our children had a great time with the amazing pool and the culture found in north cyprus. We hired a car, arranged Fi and Stu, which was inexpensive and served its purpose. We used it to its full potential. We drove everywhere seeing as much of the north as we could. North Cyprus is beautiful, I knew I would love it.
The villa is exactly as advertised. The pictures don't do it justice. There was nothing you would want for. It was well equipped, clean and spacious. Did I mention how great the pool was?! I don't usually spend much time in the pool on holidays, but this time I don't think I went one day in two weeks where I didn't go in. We cooked a couple of days but mainly ate out as everything was so reasonably. We spent a few evening's in Famagusta as its lively and had a variety of restaurants.
The other guests in our complex were extremely friendly. They recommended restaurants and places of interests. It felt like we were a close community. They even missed us when they didn't see us for a day!
The beaches were fantastic! There was one beach where we were the only people on it! It was great to see locals using the beaches.
Everything about this holiday was perfect. Having traveled extensively around the world, we are always saying we will go back to certain places. This time we mean it!

Lovely!
We really enjoyed our holiday in this lovely apartment. It was a real home from home experience, with everything you’d need, very comfortable beds and beautifully clean. The swimming pool is amazing, very quiet most of the time. It’s a very friendly place, quite quiet, which really suited us. Check out Hilltop Restaurant, 5 minutes walk away, great food and Thursday and Saturdays (in season) great entertainment, literally people dancing in the street to the amazing live singers! We had a fabulous time, hopefully we’ll return next year!

Lovely apartment in peaceful surroundings
This apartment is in a lovely setting with a very attractive shared pool. Trevor, who lives next door, met us with the keys and showed us around this very comfortable and well equipped accommodation. The apartment was clean and the furnishings are of a high standard and there is everything you could need for self catering. Hilltop is a small complex away from the bustle of Bogaz but with easy access to a good supermarket and an assortment of restaurants. There is a restaurant on the complex which does excellent food and has entertainment on Saturdays. I would like to have given this 5 stars but for two problems which were that the TV only played DVD and the hot water pressure from the tap was low which meant waiting ages to fill a wash basin.

Lovely peaceful part of the Island perfect for a family with little ones.
Thank you Stuart & Fiona for a comfortable stay at your apartment. It was exactly as described very well equipped,spacious and not too far from local restaurants and beaches. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the apartment to families with small children as everything you would need is available. If we stay this side of the Island again we would book again!

Our stay at Stu & Fiona's apartment in Cyprus was very comfortable and most enjoyable. The apartment was of a high standard. It was large, spacious and clean. There were very good facilities and all the utensils you would need were available. A dishwasher would have been appreciated and we couldn't get TV to work but that was not a big issue. The teenage children appreciated the instant connection to wi-fi. There were also a selection of games, books & DVDs available which was a nice touch.
Felt very lucky to have a large, quiet swimming pool on our doorstep. Also, good to be able to use other pools on site. The restaurant and bar with some entertainment on site was great. However, a small shop on site would have been helpful. Definitely require to hire a car if you want to explore the surrounding area. So close to so many beautiful beaches and interesting sites.
Overall an excellent apartment in a quiet but gorgeous place.

North Cyprus,The well kept secret.
Had a good outward journey arriving slightly early at Stu's very clean and spacious well equipped apartment at Safa Koy. After a good nights sleep we had a hearty breakfast at Hilltop restaurant and then started our real holiday. Centrally located to give easy drives to Famagusta and local beaches such as Bafra as well as the unsurpassable Karpas peninsula with its pristine turtle beaches and wild donkeys it is a drivers paradise with some almost empty yet very modern new roads.A very scenic drive also brings Kyrennia and Nicosia within easy reach and parking is invariably free at most places.A slightly longer trip to Guzelyurt is also worthwhile not only for its colourful Saturday market but also for the freshly squeezed orange juice from newly picked oranges from one of the roadside stalls in the orange groves.There are lots of historical sites to whet your appetite such as Salamis and Bellapais so there is so much to see and do there's not much time to spend in the apartment but if you do the pool just outside the door is just brilliant and only five minutes away you can refresh yourself with a burger, chips and a drink at the harbourside in the charming village of Bogaz.
What more could any one want for a truly wonderful holiday?

Fantastic apartment in North Cyprus
We've just had one of the most enjoyable holidays the last two weeks of July and the beautiful well equipped apartment had a lot to do with it. The apartment is exactly as it is shown and advertised on the web site. One of the attractions for us was the good view over the semi-private pool from the apartment's veranda so that we could easily keep an eye on our children.
The owner's communication was fantastic and any questions we had were answered promptly and with all the detail you would need. The apartment has information sheets on everything from the best restaurants to visit, which numbers to call in case of emergencies and how to operate the different appliances. There were a great selection of books to read, DVDs to watch and music to listen too. Plenty of pool toys and inflatables kept the children well occupied in the pool every day. We also met plenty of friendly neighbours which contributed to the fantastic time we had. The apartment's care taker Trevor was friendly very helpful too. He even arranged car hire and the taxi to and from Larnaca airport for us.
Getting to the different heritage sites like the "Walled City" in Famagusta was quick and easy and well worth a visit. There are a number of lovely beaches to visit and most are only a relatively short drive from the apartment.
Restaurants and shopping in Northern Cyprus was overall very affordable and great value for money.
A huge thank you to the owners, Stuart and Fiona. We had a fantastic stay.

My wife Heather and I have enjoyed several holidays in Cyprus and suffice is to say that we much prefer the North to the South…for one reason the beaches are much better. Our most recent holiday
in October 2014 was arguably our most enjoyable to date. From day 1 when I first made enquiries, Stuart could not have been more helpful and accommodating and we really should not have been surprised at what was awaiting us on arrival. But we were. The apartment was in pristine condition thanks, I understand, to the efforts of Trevor, the on site manager who looks after matters for Fiona and Stuart. Moreover the apartment is truly a ‘home from home’ and has an incredible array of equipment …even down to a cool box for that picnic on the beach. The proximity of the superb pool was an added bonus and whilst I am not a great swimmer myself, Heather assures me it is the best pool she has ever had the privilege to use. And there is more !! We were utterly delighted at the on site restaurant on this small and friendly complex. The food was excellent and the entertainment by two different DJ’s encouraged us get up and boogie and we were, literally, ‘dancing in the street’. Oh and by the way, the weather was superb too!
So if you are looking for a relaxing holiday that can offer you everything you could reasonably expect then look no further than Fiona and Stuart’s apartment.. Needless to say we have rebooked for 2015 and true to form, Stuart has again been a real pleasure to deal with.

About the host
Hosted by Stu & Fiona
Dear All, We hope that you will enjoy using our apartment in Northern Cyprus. It offers more than your average holiday-let because it is also our own holiday home. We have filled it with everything you should need during your stay that normally you wouldn't find in rental accommodation; this is simply because we use all of the items ourselves. A little bit about us, I am in the Royal Air Force and my wife Fiona is a full time mother. We do our very best to ensure that everything runs smoothly for your holiday. Our apartment manager lives next door and will see you safely into the property and is usually on hand to help with any problems or questions that you may have during you stay. If you have any questions concerning the apartment or your holiday please feel free to contact us. Yours sincerely, Stuart and Fiona
Why they chose this property
They say that the TRNC is like Spain was 40 years ago. The area is certainly unspoilt. It is still very easy to find magnificent isolation on numerous secluded beaches up and down the coast; and yet there are also beaches offering the full range of facilities from sun beds to jet skis. We bought at Hilltop primarily because of the charm of Bogaz fishing village which is situated a kilometre away, but we were also very lucky with the property that we purchased as it is certainly the best appointed on the complex. The view across the pool from the patio is worth a million dollars.
What makes this property unique
The apartment is adjacent to the best pool on the complex. The main patio overlooks the pool and is a delight at night when the pool lights are on.
Being so close to the pool makes it ideal to be able to keep an eye on the children and it is also just a few steps from the fridge to the sun-bed - very important.
The apartment is air conditioned throughout and has free broadband wi-fi. There is a ceiling fan in the master bedroom and both showers in the two bathrooms are thermostatically controlled rainfall showers,
In the past we have stayed in pretty poor self catering apartments that have been equipped with just a saucepan and a fish-slice and we have had to struggle through our stay. So we have provided considerably more equipment than that and catered for all of your dining in and dining out needs. For us the apartment is home from home; we hope that it will be for you too.
