Kyrenia District Villa | A home from home but with added sunshine! Sleeps up to eight

4 Bedroom Villa in Kyrenia District, Lapta

The villa is situated in a quiet residential area on the outskirts of the old mountain village of Lapta. Built on a ravine, the villa stands in an elevated position with views of the sea and the mountains. The gardens contain established shrubs and trees, a fledgling orchard with trees now bearing oranges, lemons, mandarins and grapefruit. The overflow pool measures 8m x 4m with inbuilt steps leading to the shallow end, and side mounted steps down to the deeper end. There is an outside shower located by the pool and a barbeque. There is also a large gazebo in the garden. Four bedrooms ( the ground floor one has a safe) are all air conditioned, each with it's own shower room & toilet. There is also a separate toilet downstairs. The living room, dining room & kitchen all open out to a large patio area leading to the pool and gardens. The gated drive can accomodate 2 cars. Beaches, restaurants and bars are within a short distance. Picturesque Kyrenia Harbour is approximately 15 mins drive.
You will find an information folder inside the villa providing a wealth of local information and maps that you can take out with you to help you readily find your way back to the villa - Or show one to the restaurants and takeaways, to make delivery easier. There's an abundance of well stocked supermarkets selling local produce as well as more familiar groceries, plenty of bakeries and pharmacies. The language is Turkish but English is widely spoken & understood. The currency is Turkish Lira and Euros & GB£'s are also accepted in restaurants, bars and shops with a fair rate of exchange - any change is usually given in Turkish Lira. There are plenty of banks and ATMs. You tend to get a better rate for your money at the local exchange venues. The nearest to the villa is a short drive along the main strip opposite Greens garage (which is on the left hand side of the road) as you're driving towards Kyrenia. There are plenty of beaches locally including our favourite - Escape Beach which has everything you could possibly need. There's a small fee but it's worth it. Top tip, it gets very busy at weekends! In addition, all of the hotels and holiday clubs have facilities that are open to the public for a daily fee which usually includes lunch.
There are some lovely , pretty villages around which should be visited if you can manage to tear yourself away from the pool. Lapta itself & Alsancak locally are traditional old villages and have good restaurants. Higher up the mountain, Karaman is gorgeous and has a couple of bars and restaurants. Kyrenia (Girne) has its pretty horseshoe shaped harbour, recently refurbished has reopened and is a great place just to sit and people watch or is a good starting point to wander the narrow streets. Boat trips are available from the harbour. There's an old abbey in Bellapais well worth a visit - Bellapais is an old village with the 'Tree of Idleness' written of by the famous author Lawrence Durrell in 'Bitter Lemons'. A journey to the top of St Hilarion Castle should not be missed - though not during very hot sunshine. There is so much to see and do!!
Flights can be into Ercan in the North (Turkish side) with a touchdown in Turkey, or into Larnaca in the South(ROC) and we can help arrange transfers from either airport and can also assist with car hire. Ercan is approx 40mins away; Larnaca about 75mins. Be aware that you must enter and leave from the North or the South for example, you can't arrive in the North and then leave from the South and vice versa. There's no visa requirement for UK citizens for entry into Cyprus, North or South. If you're travelling from the South to the North you no longer require a visa, but you do have to produce your passport at the border. Whichever way you choose to fly, there are no difficulties but we can help with transfers to make it easier for you.

Summary: We had a nice break staying in this villa. The views are beautiful, especially from the raised patio area looking out to sea. The owner and property manager were very forth coming with any issues that arose and were sorted promptly. I must say though that the ants in the property are still a problem, we had to even put ant powder down in the upstairs front bedrooms as they got into the clothes in the wardorbe, bathrooms and beds (we did report this to the property manager). They were also all over the kitchen and we were very concious of keaving any food put. We would even find colonys

Summary: My family and I again had a fantastic time in this beautiful villa. A new kitchen and showers in all 4 bedrooms really gives you the real homely feeling. The sun deck is the place to be when the sun goes down.deck

Summary: The property suited us as a group of 8 adults. It was lovely and the pool was perfect for us. We had issues with ants which were addressed as soon as I messaged the manager. The taxi struggled to find the property, so worth getting a copy of the location map prior to arrival. Thank you Gary and Heather

Summary: We have looked forward to this holiday for 3 tears,carried booking over from covid.our 1 st impression on arrival when we saw pool and garden area was a good one,then you go into the house.it was.not very clean,we had to get in touch with Agent for cleaning products including mop and bucket,no anti vac cleaner was provided,we had to buy our own,also black bags for rubbish and decent dish washer tabs.there were no batteries in remote control for tv,agent bought some but could not get tv to work said he would contact owner,i did too but no joy,no tv for whole 2 weeks,also water cooler.stopped working,but after messaging owner we did get new one.The sheets and towels ,personally i would not give to local dogs home.then there were the ants in the kitchen,we kept everything in fridge how we were instructed to,a bigger fridge is needed rather than 2 small ones.but the ants even managed to get in tubes of pringles that were left out thinking cardboard would be safe.the ants were even in the dishwasher.Even though the pool area was lovely there were 2 broken sunbeds,which caused one of us bad back pains after falling through slats,when we arrived there was only 1.umbrella for 5 people,we did manage to get 1 more from agent,not good enough in temperatures of 35 degrees.We did enjoy our holiday in spite of everything but would not recommend this Villa in its present state

Summary: Some updating needs to be done. As always in Cyprus, water pressure in showers is not great. Had to have two shower heads replaced when we arrived as not working. Maybe this should have been picked up by cleaners when getting the villa ready. Very dusty under beds which I think should be mentioned to them. Great shame there is not a decent fridge/freezer. Their is room for a decent one. Problem with neighbours dogs barking at night especially. Minor things but overall had a lovely stay

Summary: Our family have recently returned from this lovely villa. 6 adults and 2 children (7 & 11yo). The villa was more than spacious enough to accommodate us all. The views of the mountains are breathtaking - I miss waking up to that everyday! The gardens around the villa are secure and well maintained; a large pool with ample comfy sun loungers, a cold outside shower (much appreciated in the August heat!), 2 outside eating areas, one covered (and shaded in the morning) - perfect for a quiet breakfast. We often saw the goats being herded past the end of the garden too! Fruit trees and an outside BBQ; which we enjoyed using during our stay. The pool was cleaned 4 times during our 2 week stay, the pool man and gardener were very polite and friendly. The villa itself is lovely, beautiful sea views from the upstairs bedrooms. Top tip - the best showers in the villa are in the upstairs twin bedroom and the downstairs bedroom! The kitchen is well equipped, the only downside being no tea towels and little freezer space in the under counter fridges, but we managed to fit in packs of ice for our drinks and a few ice lollies - so no big problem :) We very rarely sat inside but we did struggle to get the tv and DVD player working for the kids, again not much of a problem as they had their electronic devices and books. The villa also has a little bookshelf full of good holiday reads! Lots of information supplied in the welcome book and plenty of maps etc for the local areas. Villa manger was only a phone call away, we had a problem with a couple of power cuts - but the manager sorted things within 30 minutes of calling. He also supplied a handy welcome pack for us for our arrival (milk, bread etc). Owners are very helpful and accommodating - we booked their villa pre covid and they had no issues with us changing our dates - twice! So thank you for that! All in all we had a perfect holiday. The villa is quiet (which is exactly what we wanted) and perfectly located to explore the nearby beaches and towns (hire car is needed, but the owners helped to organise that too). Just to add - The local restaurants have very little 'kerb appeal' but don't let that fool you. The eating areas are stunning! The tables are literally on the seafront! We can highly recommend 'sea point' - a lovely place! We will definitely be returning to North Cyprus again. The locals are friendly and everything is very cheap compared to the UK. A beautiful villa in a very beautiful part of Cyprus

Summary: Spacious villa with a lovely pool and beautiful gardens with a bbq and a gazebo to shield you from the sun. The evenings were windy & cool but the dining room with its high ceiling, chandelier and views out to the pool was delightful to sit around and play cards with an evening drink. We were a family of six and it was so nice that each bedroom was en-suite but remember this is North Cyprus and the low water pressure means only one shower can be used at one time. The villa is in a prime position, quiet and remote with the beautiful haunting mountains behind. There are a couple of neighbours and they were friendly and helpful.

Summary: Where do I start, great location, so peaceful amazing views, loved everything about it, especially the pool kept immaculate and gardens are fabulous. Found it hard to drag ourselves away but so many lovely places to visit and nothing is too far away. All the restaurants in the area are great never had a bad meal and very reasonable. Plenty of supermarkets for fresh food and a good selection. Great communication for the booking and Afzal is a fantastic manager. Highly recommend would have no hesitation in returning. Thank you for letting us share your piece of paradise!
