Great Pool area
We had everything we needed. The pool area was lovely. Villa in a great location. The estate was quiet and easy to find. Pool cleaned twice during our stay. There was bread, milk, tea, juice and coffee when we arrived. Ian was very helpful before our stay and responded quickly to our questions. Would definitely go back!!

Second time at this villa
This was our second visit to this particular villa and our fourth time on the same estate. The villa is in an excellent location, especially in the estate. Easy to find and not too far into the hills. Since our last visit there were several improvements. Although our previous visit was perfect, the improvements definitely improve the experience. This time the family joined us and we’re equally impressed by the standard of the villa. We could not recommend this particular villa more highly. It has everything you need for a relaxing family holiday. Easy to book and use as well as find. And the morning views are fantastic.

Spacious Villa with excellent views
This was one of the bigger villas we've stayed in on holidays to Cyprus. It was well appointed and a great location with excellent sea views. No issue finding it, we pin dropped it on Google maps and it was a cinch. We've stayed in tala before so knew where the closest shops and village centre are (5 min drive) Be warned, going in the summer you might not expect the sounds of nature to be as loud as the cicadas were!! Apparently they even louder in the heat and it was very hot! We weren't expecting it but that did not detract from the villa or the lovely pool which we used a lot! There was nothing in the owner instructions about when pool cleaner or house cleaner would show up and the house cleaner came once when we were out and we weren't expecting them, so a little more forewarning would be nice. Possibly also a few more bits in the kitchen like large serving bowls would have been helpful but we made do. Overall highly recommended villa for any family holiday.

Excellent location and great facilities. Outside area very spacious, especially around the pool.
The owner was very responsive and accommodating. Especially under the circumstances, we had to revise dates twice due to Covid. Original date was July 2019. There were no issues with the property, and the check in guide was very comprehensive. There were essentials in the fridge for arrival, which was very welcome due to a late arrival. All in all I can highly reccommend this property.

The garden is way bigger than in the pictures
Great, quiet place for a family holiday. Also a good place to work remotely (internet speed is not the greatest but just enough to work: 12-16Mb/s). Really loved the garden with so much plants and flowers - felt like heaven. The location requires a car to get around. Ian was super responsive to sort out the internet issues we faced at the check-in day. The only downside was the very hot weather. Be advised to travel in June or September-October. Else you'll not be able to do much during the day (11-17) as the sun will scorch you.

A Tranquil Oasis.
We've just returned from a ten day holiday at this villa, myself, my husband and three teenagers. The outside space and pool are amazing, the area the villa is situated in is incredibly peaceful and the sunsets are amazing. The villa had everything that we needed for a lovely memorable holiday and communication with the villa owner was excellent. He responded to any queries almost immediately. You will need a car as the villa is about a 10 minute drive from the nearest beach. We spent many hours relaxing and having fun around the pool, and there are some lovely bars and restaurants within walking distance, just be aware it is very hilly. The villa was a lovely relaxing oasis and just what we were looking for. We would definitely return.

Lovely Stay
We had a lovely stay in July 2019. Although it was very warm the villa was great with the aircon and was very comfortable. There is everything you need to enjoy your stay. The outside pool area is brilliant, the pool is a good size, there are plenty sun loungers and the area is very private. Tala is a nice little village with good restaurants and local amenities. It is also only 15-20mins from Coral Bay and Papjos. Ian (the owner) and Management Company were both very helpful, courteous and responsive. Any questions or queries were answered immediately. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property and would definitely like to return in the future.

Spacious villa in a quiet and relaxing location with fantastic views down the valley and out to sea
We've been to Cyprus for many years and we found Ian's villa perfect for a quiet location but close enough to Paphos and surrounding areas if you like to get out and about. The villa is suited to a family holiday with a large outdoor area and the views are stunning. Another great holiday in Cyprus, Ian has been brilliant to deal with from the very start and it is definitely a villa that we would like to stay in again.

Great location nice surroundings and lovely villa.
We were looking for peace and quiet away from the hurly burly, but close enough to Paphos & Coral Bay. This place delivered in spades. Grounds and pool well maintained and the villa was clean and comfortable. Just got home and planning our next trip!

Fantastic Villa - great location and the host was brilliant
We are a family of 5 (2 adults - 3 children 10-15) and we loved our stay in this Villa. The outside area is perfect - the pool was nice and clean and a good size. We spent most days just messing about here. The Villa location is good too (it's in a quiet area with a similar Villas around and it felt very safe) - you do need a car but it's only 20/25mins from Paphos and the airport and a similar drive to Coral Bay. Plenty of great restaurants in the area. The Villa was nice and clean, with a welcome pack too. Cleaners came each week which was nice. There are many positives about the Villa - the only slight negative is the furniture/bathroom/kitchen is a little tired - we could see that in some of the photos and I'm so glad we decided to go ahead, because everything else was perfect (and we were either eating out or around the pool so it didn't really matter). Ian (the host) was brilliant - all instructions were clear and he was very responsive and helpful. The best host we have every had and he was very professional.

Exactly as advertised, beautiful setting with a fantastic private pool.
It was nice to arrive to a package of essential items meaning we did not have to go out and immediately start shopping. The pool was cleaned twice a week along with visits from the gardener. The villa was cleaned at the end of the first week and all the linen and towels changed. We had a couple of queries which were dealt with within a couple of hours by the local representative. It was a delightful stress free holiday and we have no trouble in recommending the villa but you will need a car to get the best advantage from both this area and all that Cyprus has to offer.

A week inTala
Wonderful welcome pack. Property very clean and the interim clean was excellent too. Loved the outside - beautifully landscaped and wonderful ambience. Would have helped to have had instructions for the cooker and washing machine. We did eventually work out how the cooker worked but not the power to the washing machine. All the other paper work was extremely helpful. Very efficient booking.

Thank you for your comments. I am glad you enjoyed your visit and hope you will consider coming again. With regards to the instructions for the washing machine and cooker, they were there at one time but must have disappeared over time. I shall incorporate these within my guide for future visitors.

Great family friendly villa in a quiet peaceful location away from the crowds. Great pool and outdoor living space. Easy to drive to beaches, shops or restaurants. Really enjoyed being able to escape to the hilltop villa - definitely recommend.

Wonderful value for money
We have just returned from a wonderful week at this villa and I am missing it already. We have stayed in many Owner's Direct properties and this was voted the best by my family. We found the villa to be lovely and clean, amazing views, much appreciated hill-top breeze, great (and sparkling clean) swimming pool. The communication with Mr Harvey was great - extremely prompt and always helpful. The only thing we might change would be to suggest that you type 6 Azaleas Rd Tala into your Sat Nav instead of following directions (might save a few swear words). We'd stay here again in a heartbeat

A relaxing villa with great outdoor space and swimming pool.
Our family, Mum, Dad and the 6 year old Barker triplets, have just had the best holiday staying at this lovely villa in Cyprus and we can’t wait to go back again! Our daughter cried as we left and asked if we could live there! Everything was as described in the property details; the outside area and swimming pool was even better than we expected. This is a very well maintained property and the pool guy came almost every day to either clean it or top it up. All the information you need to enjoy the villa and even things to do in the nearby area are well detailed. I would have no hesitation in recommending this villa and, as mentioned before, we plan on returning again one day.

The perfect villa!
Six of us stayed in Ian's villa because we were going to a friend's wedding in Paphos. And the house was absolutely perfect. We actually think it even nicer than it looks in the photos. The view across the hills down to the sea is absolutely stunning. And the pool area and BBQ area is great for hanging out during the day and evening. All the rooms have air conditioning. Ian was very helpful and very easy to communicate. Thank you fro a wonderful stay!

Perfect villa to discover Cyprus with family
We spent 2 weeks with the family (2 adults and 3 children aged 10, 8 and 4) in this beautiful villa. This house is fully equipped and air-conditioned with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a kitchen and a large living room. The terraces are large and well shaded. And above all a magnificent swimming pool with a half shallow pool where our 4 year old daughter was safe. The pool is maintained several times a week. The villa is very well located in a quiet area 5 minutes from the centre of Tala (small supermarket and some restaurants) and 15 minutes from Paphos and all its beaches and activities. There is a splendid view of the sunset over the sea. Finally, the location is ideal for exploring the wonderful island of Cyprus: in less than an hour's drive you can go on a safari on the Akamas Peninsula, hike in the Troodos Mountains or explore the dream beaches around the Aphrodite Rock. Before the stay, we received many emails from Ian the owner to help us prepare our stay. We encountered a small problem in the villa but the property management team was easily reachable and helped us very quickly. All this made our stay one of our best family holidays and we can only recommend this beautiful house for a great time.

Eine der schönsten Unterkünfte, die wir je hatten!
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in diesem Feriendomizil sehr genossen (2 Wochen im Juli/August 2020). Es war genau das richtige für uns! Das Anwesen sieht genauso aus, wie auf den Fotos und die Aussicht ist sogar noch wundervoller, wie ich finde. Wir haben diese freie Sicht sehr genossen und abends auf der kleinen Terrasse sitzen und dem Sonnenuntergang zusehen. Tagsüber ist der Pool eine herrliche Erfrischung in der Juli-Augusthitze und auch die Klimaanlage ist sehr angenehm, um es nachts etwas kühler zu haben. Die Villa liegt in einem sehr ruhigen Wohngebiet, man hört keinen Straßenlärm oder Partylärm. Dennoch ist man in wenigen Autominuten an vielen verschiedenen touristischen Zielen und anderen sehenswerten Orten. Die Kommunikation mit dem Besitzer war exzellent. Er antwortet meist innerhalb weniger Minuten. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wieder diese Villa nehmen wollen, sollten wir einmal wieder in der Gegend Urlaub machen!

Very cosy house in Cyprus with lovely outdoors.
The house is well situated in a lovely part of Cyprus. It is true that you need a car but that is just the charming part. The house is on a hill situated not too far from the busy center of Paphos. We really loved the outdoors of the house : the very big terraces with the swimming pool are ideal for the hot summers : sunny part for the sun lovers and plenty of shadow for escaping the heat. Airco inside in al the rooms and 2 bathrooms for 3 bedrooms is very comfortable. We surely recommend this villa to all kinds of families
