My wife and I stayed here for two weeks in mid-July. The owner, Dogay, was extremely helpful, answering all of our queries very promptly and also organised a taxi to and from the airport and a hire car for us to use during our stay. It was also very nice to be given a welcome pack of basic groceries to get us started (eggs, bread, milk, Efes bier etc.) on our arrival by Hussain. The villa location was excellent, the views of the mountains and the sea were fantastic. The large pool was well maintained and we enjoyed the fact that it was so secluded. We enjoyed using the pool table in the living room and also used the DVD player most evenings, the only downside being the lack of aircon downstairs which would have been useful during our stay when the evening temperatures rarely dropped below 30˚C, however, this may not be such a problem during cooler times of the year. We had an initial issue with cleanliness which the owner has apologised for and therefore hope should not be a problem in the future. There are some lovely restaurants within walking distance or a short drive away, our favourites were the Hanimeller Cypriot restaurant and the Veni Vici Italian restaurant both of which had great service and excellent food. The cost of eating out was much cheaper than in the UK. There is also an amazing cinema about 15mins drive away, the Starlux, which had the best cinema seating I’ve ever had the pleasure of using and also had its own restaurant serving fantastic reasonably-priced food, all in a beautifully cool air-conditioned environment, and at a fraction of UK prices. The Lapta coastal path is only a short walk from the villa and I used it for an early morning jog and it provided lovely views of the sun rising over the sea. We visited Kyrenia and Guzelyurt which are a short drive away and also Nicosia which is a bit further away.
I would recommend this villa to anyone wanting a quiet, relaxing holiday who enjoys their own pool and likes to eat out in very reasonably-priced restaurants. Northern Cyprus seems to provide very good value for money and is relatively unspoiled compared to some of the gaudy, commercialised tourist resorts in Southern Cyprus.
