Beautiful house in lovely village

Villa Marina is a beautiful large property. The pool and outdoor area are a definite highlight as well as snooker and table tennis. There are lots of seating areas and the bedrooms are a great size. Marina was very helpful with all my questions and we appreciated the welcome basket greatly as we arrived late to the property. The villa is located within a beautiful village with several dining options and a shop just a very short walk away. We did find the noise levels a bit disturbing, cockerels and dogs barking at night and building of the road outside the villa during the day. I felt like parts of the villa needed a deep clean but overall we had a very pleasant stay.

Tolles Haus in toller Umgebung

Sehr gut eingerichtetes Haus, alles vorhanden, was wir benötigen, um uns rundum wohl zu fühlen. Wir haben speziell die Außenanlagen sehr gerne genutzt. Kathikas ist ein sehr schönes Dorf und viele Ausflugsziele in der näheren Umgebung. Wir waren sehr froh, vom sehr touristischen Paphos entfernt zu sein.

Fantastic Stay in Villa Marina. Kathikas

Top class value for money villa, set in the hills above Paphos and Coral and just a 20 min drive from either, Lapsi beach is also quite close. Everything needed was available at the villa, with a reasonable size pool. There was also a food pack there on arrival, very good for late arrival. It's set in an authentic village. It's not an overlarge but had a small store (a supermarket was a 10 minute drive away) and a god mix of restaurants. Marina, the owner, was quick to respond, if required, they also own a restaurant at Paphos harbour which we can thoroughly recommend, visited twice in our 1 week stay. You will not be disappointed.

Villa Marina , Kathikas

Villa Marina was superb throughout our weeks familt holuday. The size of the villa (over 3 levels) was brilliant , the large private pool amazing. The welcome pack of basic essentials was really appreciated . I would highly recommend for a family holiday. Transport is essential as Kathikas is a 10 minute drive from main towns.

Quiet village Gem

The villa is located in the lovely village of Kathikas in the mountains above coral bay. The village has a local shop and several taverns serving a wide variety of foods. The locals are very friendly. A larger supermarket can be found in Coral Bay (approx 15 mins drive), where there is also a lovely sandy beach. The villa is spacious and well equipped with everything you would need for your stay. The villa has a great family size pool and a good garden and bbq area. The owners are very friendly and couldn't do any more to make our stay any more welcome. This is a lovely villa for a relaxing family holiday , a car is a necessity.

Everything we wanted and more

From the moment we arrived at this property we were impressed. Its was very spacious with great size bedrooms. The villa was clean and well presented and had a lovely homely feeling. Great facilities and our children loved the games area and the pool. The position of the villa was perfect and so close to all the village restaurants and its facilities. If you have never been to Kathikas you are missing out as both the village and this villa have everything you want from a holiday in Cyprus. We had great communication with the host before and during our holiday and felt reassured that they were contactable if we needed anything.

Gorgeous holiday in Kathikas, Paphos

Our 4th summer holiday in Cyprus and hands down the best one! We were a party of 7 including an 11 & 13 year old. We all had such a lovely time we didn't want to come home. Lovely large, spacious villa with lovely outdoor space. This villa.has everything you could.possibly need. Set in a village location, only 2 minute stroll to the local.shop, cafe and restaurants. Lovely friendly local residents. Due to its higher altitude location there was always a gentle breeze which makes it so much more bearable during the hottest months of the year. The location of the villa was also only a short drive to many lovely beaches, supermarkets and Coral Bay. The owners are a lovely family that were a pleasure to deal with from start to finish and made themselves available at any time. Highly recommend this villa and a visit to their restaurant 'The Moorings' in Kato Paphos where we enjoyed 2 lovely meals. We will be returning for future holidays!

Fantastic family holiday

We had an amazing time at Villa Marina. The property was very clean and tidy when we arrived and well stocked with everything we could need during our stay. The pool was well kept and we all had a lot of fun in it over the 2 weeks we stayed for! Kathikas is a beautiful little village with several restaurants, cafés and bars to visit and both the staff in these establishments and the locals of the village are extremely friendly. We had a visit from the owner, Panicos, on our second day there to check everything was okay and he was very friendly, and he invited us to visit his restaurant in Paphos harbour, which we did. Very nice food and drink and customer service second to none. The villa is very spacious and beautifully laid out. Would definitely recommend Villa Marina to others. Absolutely 5 stars*****! Thank you for a lovely stay, we'll hopefully be back one day! Clarke party of 8 (6 adults 2 children)

A villa built and shared with love!

We have recently returned from our stay at Villa Marina. It was an 'out of season' break and unfortunately, the weather was not kind! However, we could all imagine that this would be an ideal venue for families who want to stay away from the coast and retreat to the quiet of a friendly village. Although the building has different 'floors' each has a stair gate so that even small children can be kept safe. The pool looked very inviting and has recently been refurbished, however it is not heated and was too cold for us to enjoy. Marina and her husband are extremely friendly, genuine people who came out of their way twice to put on the central heating for us. Their restaurant, 'The Moorings', in Paphos is well worth a visit - you would not be disappointed by the food, the setting or the welcome! Although we found some of the fixtures and fittings a little 'tired' ( maybe because this was so early in the year) we would highly recommend this villa and hopefully, will return at a warmer time with a group of friends and family.

Beautiful, well-equipped, spotless and spacious villa that is fantastic for a family holiday

We recently enjoyed a fantastic one-week stay at Villa Marina. We were two families together - our family with children aged 11, 13 and 16 and two adults as well as two of the children's grandparents. The villa was perfect :-) We found the rooms extremely spacious and well-designed to suit the weather with cooling marble-type floors, high ceilings and plenty of large windows that let in a lovely breeze (most days). Although the weather was unusually hot, the villa stayed relatively cool and we could always find a shady spot outside among the wide choice of balconies/terraces/shaded seating areas. The pool was also a great way to cool off, again with plenty of shade provided for those who didn't want to swim. The table tennis, pool table and darts board also made for an easy holiday with a varied age range. We greatly appreciated the well-equipped and maintained kitchen as well as the chance to bbq by the pool. The village of Kathikas is itself very picturesque, charming and friendly and offers some extremely good opportunities for eating out. We found Marina to be very quick to react to and answer any questions we had both before and during our stay. We also had the pleasure of meeting Marina's husband who was equally friendly and helpful. Our only regret is that we hadn't booked to stay longer! Definitely a place we would like to return to if we get the chance. Highly recommended.

Fantastic! Perfect family holiday

We stayed at the beautiful Villa Marina for two weeks this summer. The villa has everything you need for a relaxing carefree holiday. The beautifully cared for garden made the perfect space to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet of Kathikas. Marina made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The games room was great! Cold beers on tap from the fridge allowed us to spend all day outside - only venturing inside to make lunch in the well equipped kitchen. The large villa can accommodate either one large family or two or three smaller ones. It's our (big) secret LOVE IT!

Exactly what we wanted

We stayed in villa Marina in August , it was exactly what we wanted .spacious clean and the pool was beautiful . It had everything we needed.if we had any questions ,which were few Marina answered them very quickly. This was the sixth time that we have stayed in Cyprus and it was definitely the most relaxing.it was stress free from beginning to end . Kathikas is a beautiful village with a small shop,bar and a few restaurants within 5mins walk . Everyone we met were friendly and helpful. There isn't anything negative I can say , and we will be staying in villa Marina again, very soon I hope. A big THANKYOU John ,Hazel ,Ella and Maddie Verden

Great spacious house,owners are genuine kind people willing to help with anything needed, also the weather in Kathikas is so much better then downtown Paphos due to the altitude that was a really pleasant surprise!! We were 5adults and 2 kids and the house was still more than comfortable,and of course clean and comfortable, all the furniture is nice : the sofas,the beds etc I recommend this place to anyone, 5* !!

Lovely family holiday

We had a lovely relaxing holiday at villa marina. It was like a home from home everything we needed was there. On arrival the villa was clean with all the essentials needed to avoid us needing to find a supermarket straight away. We had planned on lots of sight seeing but our children, aged 16, 11 & 10 just wanted to play in the pool or have a game of table tennis. Highly recommend the local village tavernas especially Imogen's, added bonus is it's walking distance so you can sample the local wines. Would also recommend the owners restaurant The Moorings, not walking distance but worth the journey, fantastic food & a menu that means everyone will find something they like; also brill place if you have younger children as there is a play area, great idea. We had such a lovely time we are hoping to return next summer

Villa Marina

Our family of five spent three days at Villa Marina, and had a great time. The villa, on three floors, is spacious, comfortable and extremely well-equipped. It was spotlessly clean on our arrival. Each of our three teenagers was thrilled to have a large bedroom to him/herself, plus a deluxe shared bathroom. Our master bedroom with its en suite shower room was perfect. The weather in April was too cold to use the pool, but it looked extremely inviting! We enjoyed sitting in the sun on the various balconies. The washing machine was very useful, and enabled us to travel light! And next to the washing machine (at ground level) was the pool table and ping pong table, which the kids loved! Marina and Panicos stocked the villa with essential foodstuffs (tea, coffee, milk, eggs, etc.) before we arrived, which was greatly appreciated. In fact, Marina and Panicos couldn't have been more helpful, and were always friendly and attentive: first, all preliminary communications with Marina by e-mail were completely satisfactory -- no question (and I had a lot!) went unanswered. Then, when we arrived, and felt chilly in the evening (the house was still a bit cold from the winter) Marina lit a log fire for us (the central heating panel left us all baffled!) and Panicos came the next morning to switch on and regulate the heating. We were helped, too, by Panicos' nice aunt next door, which was very convenient! Kathikas itself is very pleasant, and has a wealth of good restaurants to choose from (I believe there are six!). We ate at Imogen's Tavern and Yiannis' Tavern, both of which had excellent food and warm and friendly service. We told Yiannis that we loved the olives and he presented us with some when we got up to leave. Like Marina and Panicos -- indeed, like 99% of the people we encounted in Cyprus -- he was charming, open and generous. We also went to Marina and Panicos' restaurant on the Paphos waterfront, The Moorings, and had a very pleasant meal, with Panicos determined that everything should be just right -- recommended! Kathikas was a good base for exploring western Cyprus: we explored the Avakas Gorge, visited Paphos and Latchi, and had a great day walking in the Akamas peninsula, which is glorious. Many of the nearby villages have charming old centres, and pretty churches. That said, I can imagine lazy summer days spent by and in the pool, with no need to leave the village! In summary, we highly recommend Villa Marina, and its exceptionally nice owners!

Villa Marina

We arrived at 11.15pm to a very welcoming Villa Marina. In the morning we explored the villa (properly this time). A wonderful place with a wonderful pool and wonderful hosts who came to introduce themselves. Very clean and lots of space. We had a BBQ on the Saturday and about 25 people turned up. I should explain that we were in Cyprus for one of our Godsons weddings at a wedding villa near Peyia. Using both of the BBQs we fed and watered them from 1am until 8pm. They all loved the villa inside and out and the pool. It was great that there were so many chairs and tables, not to mention all the plates and cutlery. The table tennis was great and it was useful having the downstairs loo. (the bath was full of water, ice and alcohol). Location was brilliant and please talk to your neighbours. Auntie next door was lovely and we joined them for coffee and were given a large melon. Auntie also relayed messages from Marina which was nice. Make the effort and go to their Restaurant ‘The Moorings’. Easy to find as long as you do not ask the other restaurants as they tend to send you to the farthest point each way from it. Drive into Paphos taking the left turn to the seafront and look out for the Bus Station on your right. Huge free car park. Walk down to the front and turn left. The Moorings about 5minutes on the left hand side. (near the blue estate agents). We arrived to a lovely cool restaurant and were welcomed by Marina and her husband. Greeted as old friends. The food was excellent and well laid out by someone with a flair. Cocktails are large and varied and the price was exceptional.If you go out the front of the house and follow the dirt track, turn left after a couple of minutes into another car park and you will find yourself in the middle of the village. The shop /taxi is ok for quick items to get you started and the fresh bread everyday is great. Andrea’s taxi is clean and not expensive and he will pick you up outside the villa. We went to Imogens restaurant and it was ok, but for us by far the better was Yannis, Go on a Tuesday evening. A huge buffet of probably everything to eat in Cyprus, cold mezes with meat and fish (the octopus was brilliant), lots of different hot food and finishing with the deserts. Entertained by the dancers where you will be expected to join in, children as well. Four of us drinking wine and beer and the cost 76 euros including coffee, and then a free liqueur or brandy of our choice. Excellent. GREAT OWNERS, GREAT VILLA

About the host

Hosted by Marina

We are a "youngish" couple who built a lovely home
that we cannot live in unfortunately. Thus decided to
give other people the opportunity to do so. I'm
Marina, short, brown hair, brown eyes. My husband is
tall, slightly overweight, grey hair, brown eyes.
We have three children, (that are starting to drive us
slightly insane) but we love them anyway. I think its
important to mention that we are easy going and do not fuss over little things.

Why they chose this property

We decided to build the property in Kathikas
because we thought it to be a good investment at the
time. We love the village life style, the locals and of course the country side. We actually stay at the villa
when we have no bookings during the winter months.
My husband loves mushroom hunting, and working in his
vineyards. Unfortunately producing grapes is not very profitable thus we have a restaurant in the busy tourist area of Kato Paphos.(making it impossible to live up in the village) Its a place where one can really relax.

What makes this property unique

Villa Marina is a house where one can have privacy without been in the middle of no where! It is entirely
enclosed. The swimming pool is private. Everything in Kathikas is in walking distance. The local taverns, the coffee shops, the pub, the local bank. The villa is not situated near any main roads, thus been dangerous for young children, and noisy. The Local church is also very close to the villa all visitors are welcome. In April during our easter time, we have midnight mass which is very interesting to many tourists. August is also a lovely month to visit Kathikas, the local festival takes place round the middle of August where there are traditional dancing, food and of course wine.
