On a nice quiet road, the villa is bigger than it looks from the photos and videos. Front and rear verandas are nice for sitting out in the evenings. The neighbours even water the plants! The pool is a 5 min (max) walk, but it's worth it, very clean, with a pool bar and bookcase full of well thumbed books. The pool complex is shared by residents and owners of certain villas and apartments (mostly ex-pats), and is gated. Don't be put off! Just get someone's attention, tell them you're staying in Harry's villa and you'll be made more than welcome. Kapparis is nice and relatively quiet, but has reasonably good bus links. Standout restaurants are Faliros, Just Italian and Karas, though there are plenty more. (Mello and Magazaki are the best of these.) LOTS of dishes come with chips! Kennedy Avenue has plenty of supermarkets and small shops if you run out of food, suncream or other essentials. There are 3 main beaches : Fireman's, Malama and Agia Triada. Malama is a small shallow cove, right at the bottom of a hotel/apartment complex. It's the busiest, but it does have water sports, including para-gliding, which is an amazing experience! Agia Triada is the largest, and also has water sports; we didn't spend much time there but it looks like a perfectly nice place to spend the day. Fireman's beach is pretty small, but really lovely and clean. Sunbeds cost 2.50 for the day (umbrellas the same) and the sea is beautiful, clear and not too deep, a great place for snorkeling. There are toilets and a canteen at the top of the hill (chips etc.), and the owner does love to belt out the odd power ballad so it's not completely silent! There was space every day day we went down there, with a mixture of families, groups, and a smattering of locals at the weekend. You can head back 10 mins to the roundabout to catch buses into Paralimni and Agia Napa. Paralimni is the main hub for buses to places like Nicosia (just under 2 hours) and Larnaka (45 mins). They're pretty reasonably priced from 1 to 7 euros depending on distance. There are also tours available from Kapparis to places like ancient Salamis (in the North, take your passport) which are well worth it, and negotiable on price. Short version; we'd go back in a heartbeat. There's plenty more to see. You can probably drive across in 2-3 hours and see much more, so this is my plan for next time!

Absolutely fantastic place to stay. The villa is very comfortable, has all the amenties you need, front and rear patios very handy when chasing the sun! We found it very easy getting around without a car. The restaurants, supermarket, bakery, pool and pubs all just a short distance away. Firemans Beach is very peaceful, not too busy whilst we were there. We ate every night at Faliros Taverna which is only 5 minutes walk. The food was lovely and plenty of it, especially the meat and fish meze! The remainder of the pubs all do good English food, especially The Pig + Whistle. You can get a bus into Protarus for 1 euro each way, it's only 4K journey. I would definately recommed this villa for adults and young families. The villa has a secure gate with a bolt at the top, out of reach, so children can roam freely. The pick up from the airport is well rehersed by Wayne and Michelle. We phoned Wayne as we left the terminal and he was straight there within 2 minutes. 40 minute trip. We would definately return. Thanks Harry + George.

The house is nice and comfortable (good airconditioning in sleeping rooms). The beaches nearby are small but clean, the sea is lovely. The village is small but sufficient good restaurants are available, as well as a bakery and super market. The shared pool is large, at about 300 meters from the house. We had a very good time.

My girlfriend and I visited the villa last June (2007). We were surprised how large the accommodation was. The main bedroom was spacious and all main rooms had air-conditioning. The walk to the main strip was only 3mins. (a bit longer on the way back after a few drinks). We also used the outside barbeque for evening meals. Internal was decorated to a high standard with good quality furniture. The owner provided us with the local contact that helped us on where the best places to go. I wished we had longer than a week stayed as the weather was fantastic. The communal swimming pool was never too busy and the friendly locals (ex pats) are all very welcoming. We will be booking again soon and maybe taking friends/family to also enjoy. Michael and Lisa Brentwood Essex

well, what a fantastic holiday, certainly lived upto it;s billing. great location, you,re on top of everything but far enough away to enjoy peace and tranquility. villa was beutifully furnished and we found it very spacious and well maintained.the nearby beach was wonderfull and not to busy our 1 year old had a great time,mostly locals on the beach.alltogether we would highly reccomend this villa.the owner couldn,t have been more helpfull,organizing transport to and from airport if required as well as any thing else you might need help with.hope you have a great time .

The villa is very clean and in a quiet little street, off the main road. The shops and bars are a very short walk away and cater for all tastes. We have holidayed in this area for the last 2 years and have had a superb holiday both times. The local pool is great and a warm welcome is assured. We hired a scooter from the local hire center and had a whale of a time visiting all of the local beaches, bars and restaurants on the coast.Protaras has every kind of shop you could need but there are also some hidden gems out in the surrounding villages. We have never had a bad meal in the area and would reccomend it to anyone who needs to kick back and chill for a while. Our dealings with Harry (the owner) where open and honest and he went out of his way to ensure that we had a trouble free stay (which we did and more).

Right from our first e-mailed enquiry, we found Harry extremely helpful and when we arrived on holiday, the villa was everything we could have asked for. With two teenagers to please, it had all we needed and more - the air conditioning was especially welcome in August! The location was superb. We hired a car and spent most of our days exploring Cyprus but it was lovely to come "home" for a shower and then stroll down to the village for dinner each evening. I can really recommend the villa and the community - very "family" oriented.

Property as described with a great peaceful location. Within easy walking distance of the various local bars and restaurants. Beach is also nearby. Communual pool had an excellent snack bar which had something for everyone. Enjoyed our stay so much we have booked again for October 2008. Highly recommended.

My family and I spent two glorious week in the villa. We where very comfortable and it had everything we needed and it was like home from home, only with glorious sunshine from morning till night. The villa was very clean and well maintained and the caretaker was at hand if you needed anything. Ideally located for easy access to pool and beaches ,car hire an advantage when exploring, public transport every half hour. Wide variety of eating places and pubs highly recommened especially the local Italian restaurant where my husband and I spent several romantic evenings. Found Harry the owner of the villa very friendly and helpfull when arranging holiday.The villa was homely and spacious and I would highly recommeded it.

The villa was superb, the location was great with only a 2-3 miniute walk to the nearest beach! enjoyed everything about the holiday with lovely restuarants and tavernas nearby. Communal pool was excellently run - enjoyed the bar especially!
