Great, surprising, all you need for a relaxed holiday

Well equiped and comfortable

Not only is Maroni the perfect village near the sea but the Cobblers House was pure pleasure. From sitting under the ancient olive tree, a dip in the pool or on the viewing deck overlooking the sea and village! Best family vacation ever and will definitely go back and refer to others!

The house is absolutely amazing. The rooms and terraces create a really nice and peaceful atmosphere. The location is perfect for trips to Limassol, Nikosia or to Troodos.

The villa is exactly as described and the photos show the facilities accurately. We were a family ranging in age from 4 to 75 and we all had a great time. We were self catering and were able to find everything we needed in the villa. The local market around the corner was handy for basics like eggs milk and bread, however a more substantial shop could be done at the supermarket about 20 mins away . We ate out twice at the taverna in Maroni and in Tochni. Both venues were reasonably priced and served ample portions. Our time at the villa was great fun. The pool was used extensively and those needing shade were always able to find some. We were met by Costa, the venue manager who was easily contactable if we needed him which was seldom. The way the villa surrounds the courtyard and pool provides a safe private environment in which to relax and enjoy oneself. My family had a fabulous holiday and would highly recommend.

Our holiday atThe Cobblers was perfect. Beautiful home with an abundance of character. Everything you could possibly need was available.

Notre séjour à Maroni a été parfait dans la maison d Alan. L accueil de Costa a été très agréable et sympathique, des courses avaient été faites , le réfrigérateur rempli, cela a été très apprécié et appréciable par tous. La maison est très agréable à vivre, chacun peut bénéficier d un endroit tranquille s il le souhaite. Nous recommandons vivement cette maison à Chypre. Caroline et Bruno et leurs enfants.

We enjoyed staying here in this quirky, adorable village home. A bit difficult to find but Costa’s soon came to our aid. If you like to eat in there are plenty of pans etc. Plenty of rooms to relax in. We would go back… 🌷🌸🌷

If you are looking for a not of the shelf place in central Cyprus with all major sites and cities within a good hour drive, then this tastefully renovated acient villa is your choice. To relax from your explorations, there’s a pool and lofty rooftop terasse with great views. Very helpful owners and caretaker.

The Cobblers is certainly a unique holiday stay. It's very old and characterful, and all the rooms are accessed from either the external staircase or the multi-levelled courtyard. Although there are three bedrooms, it's best suited for a couple who want to chill out amongst all the peaceful quirkiness. We wouldn't recommend the house for the very tall (low doorframes), very young (many, many steps) or those with mobility issues. There's air-con throughout, although cooling breezes keep the heat at bay without wasting electricity. There are plenty of sun loungers for following the sun around the pool. The kitchen is adequately equipped and there's a pleasant dining area with windows onto the very quiet street. Our favourite part of the house was the top floor, with a TV lounge that's perfect for catching up with Netflix (bring your own Roku-type dongle) and a comfortable snug for reading. There's the usual overpriced, understocked minimarket in the village, so shopping for provisions is best done at the Alphamega hypermarket near the turn off from the A1 onto the B1. The allegedly excellent Old Coffee Shop, a street or two from The Cobblers, has closed, so village eateries are limited to Lenia's Taverna (actually in Psematismenos) and the Piazza Maroni. The latter is a huge space with plastic tables and chairs, large TVs and, horror of horrors, a children's bouncy castle, and the kitchen serves family-friendly food, with indiscriminate use of a deep-fat fryer. Lenia's is far better for couples, with warm service and authentic Cypriot dishes, but the emphasis is similarly meaty. The best local restaurant is Tochni Tavern, just a few km away, that embraces the breadth of Greek cuisine, with ample vegetarian and pescatarian options. There's also the friendly Nostos Taverna, opposite the church in Tochni, that's popular at weekends. The nearby marina of Zygi has a handful of seafood tavernas, but most were closed when we visited, and it generally seemed run down. We also ate in Kalavasos, a village close to Tochni, where the Retro Tavern and George's Tavern take over the village with their al fresco dining. The food at both is reasonable, but service is slow and vegetarian dishes are limited. Much of the time, we ate in and simply enjoyed soaking up the sun around the pool. Our criticisms are few: the directions to the house require updating, there were login issues with the TV box, and we thought basic housekeeping should be inclusive.

An old, renovated and partly new built house, simple, but with everything you need. For two people the place seems too big, as some rooms will hardly be used. I can imagine it would fit better to a family with kids. Costas was very helpful, communication was good throughout. Beautiful beaches are about an hours drive away, but being away from the hustle and bustle is worth it!

Wir haben den Aufenthalt im Cobblers sehr genossen. Es ist ein wirklich wundervolles Haus mit sehr ansprechender Ausstattung, alles was wir benötigten war vorhanden. Der Garten ist so schön und man hat so viele verschiedene Ecken um sich zu entspannen. Von der Dachterrasse hat man einen schönen Rundumblick. Der Pool war so schön für den Sommer. Die Kommunikation war super. Alles war sehr zu empfehlen!

sehr gut

From the magical moment of opening the arched door at 11pm this house won us! It has charm and ambience in abundance: the wonderful ancient olive tree and the many beautiful plants, the medieval-looking wooden balconies, and the quiet atmosphere. We found space in the house for everyone to find a quiet sunny nook, and for everyone to sit together for meals and enjoy the pool. Thank you Alan we'd love to come again.

Wunderschönes Haus mit allem was man braucht. Ruhige Lage in Strandnähe. Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt. Vielen Dank an den Gastgeber!

Great place with everything you need to spend a vacation with family. The house has stunning facilities, including pool, garden area, upper terrace with sofas to enjoy the breeze of the night, reading room, separate games and TV room, barbecue... The kitchen has basic stuff and more to cook, which was extremely appreciated, and well featured with kitchenware, including a large stove, 2 fridges, micro, dishwasher... The pool is small but great for a family. Everything well taken care of. The location is a tiny village with not much and unfortunately we could not enjoy the old shop cafe because of covid-19 limitations... But still is well located at 30 minute ride from either larnaca beaches or Limassol beaches... Many tavern and fish restaurants at 10-15 minutes drive by the closest beach. Overall, fantastic experience.

Alles war wunderbar vorbereitet. Brot, Wein und Käse da, ein Weihnachtsbaum stand auch da. Besser geht's nicht. Leider fiel die Einweisung aus, da wir viel zu spät ankamen. Deshalb hatten wir erst mal keine Heizung, kamen dann aber selbst drauf. Ab dann alles super. Wir haben uns wie zuhause gefühlt. Herrlich. Sehr schönes Dorf und das Meer ist nicht weit. Auch im Winter empfehlenswert. Das Online Inserat trifft genau zu. Die Ferienwohnung ist wunderbar. Einzig die Kosten sind in Euro angegeben, aber man bezahlt in Pfund.

Das Haus am Ortsrand von Maroni hat uns sehr gut gefallen ! Die Bilder und Beschreibungen im Internet sind sehr authentisch, wir haben drinnen wie draußen alles sauber und ordentlich vorgefunden. Man kann es sich auf den unterschiedlichen Terrassen, am Pool und auf der Dachterrasse mit einer tollen Aussicht wirklich gut gehen lassen. Die vielen Pflanzen und der insgesamt gepflegte Garten versprühen eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Es sind ausreichend Lounge Möbel, Liegen, Tische und Stühle vorhanden. Genauso einladend und gemütlich sind die beiden Wohnräume. Die Küche ist modern ausgestattet, es ist reichlich Kochgeschirr und Zubehör vorhanden. Sowohl Alan also auch Costas vor Ort waren jederzeit erreichbar. Wir können das Haus definitiv empfehlen !

Beschreibung und Realität passen überein. Hier kann man seine Ferien in vollen Zügen geniessen!

Super sauber, super gemütlich. Alles da was man braucht....und mehr. Man fühlt sich schnell wie zu Hause. Alle Kontaktpersonen sehr nett und hilfreich. Ruhige Lage am Ende des alten Dorfkerns. TIPP: Bloß nicht durchs Dorf anfahren, weil extrem eng. Kann das Haus nur empfehlen. Alles wie beschrieben. Danke auch an Alan, dass wir dort 15 Tage wohnen dürften.

Sehr gut

Das Haus ist wunderschön mit viel Atmosphäre und Flair. Ausreichend Platz, alles mehr als notwendig vorhanden, stilvoll renoviert und modernisiert und den Charakter des Anwesens dennoch erhalten. Perfekt zum Abschalten und Auspannen!!! Alan ist ein sehr aufmerksamer Gastgeber mit schnellen Lösungen und Unterstützung wenn Bedarf vorhanden und vor allem die guten Geister vor Ort, im Speziellen Costas, sind eine Reise wert. Jederzeit wieder !!!

We recently returned from a 2 week stay at the cobblers in lovely Maroni. What a fantastic property, we loved it! Our group was 4 adults and a 13 month old baby. The property has so much character and you really do feel like you are staying in a piece of history however it has all of the mod cons you would expect including air conditioning in all the main areas of the house. The pool is fantastic and the garden and roof terrace is stunning. We spent many an evening BBQing and chilling with great wine watching the sun set. Alan the owner is great, nothing was a problem, he was very informative and provided us with everything we needed to make our stay perfect. We will certainly be booking again!

Een heerlijke week gehad is dit oude maar mooi opgeknapte huis. Met zijn 3 slaapkamers en badkamers in 2 vleugels prima voor twee stellen. Het huis ligt in het uitgestorven dorpje Maroni, dus eigen vervoer is echt nodig. Schitterend uitzicht vanaf het dakterras over de zee en de omgeving. Het huis is persoonlijk ingericht en van alle gemakken voorzien. Er zit liefde voor het huis in en dat omarmt je. het gezellige strand Governers Beach is een kleine 10min rijden.

The house is spacious, yet snug and has a Cypriotic atmosphere. Fully equiped and everything works! Romantic garden, great pool. On arrival we found everything needed for a simple meal and a cup of tea (including a tea pot!). We've rented many houses in the Meditererranean over the past years: this one tops them all! Contacts with owner Alan were extremely pleasant.

The Cobblers bietet allen Komfort, den man sich wünschen kann. Küche und die Badezimmer sind modern und voll ausgestattet, die Betten bequem (Lattenroste 😀) und die weiteren Räuümlichkeiten so großzügig, dass jeder - wir sind mit drei erwachsenen Kindern angereist - seinen Freiraum hatte. Dazu der fantastische Innenhof und die Dachterrasse, mehr geht nicht. Maroni selbst liegt verkehrsgünstig zwischen Larnaca und Limassol, auch Nikosia und die schönen Gebirgsdörfer sind gut zu erreichen. Kurz: Wir waren begeistert und können The Cobblers nur weiterempfehlen!

I’d like to start with a remarkable coincidence. A few years ago we were staying in a property in Maroni. I was fascinated by the house next door. It had a raised sun terrace and an arched double door with a peep hole in it. As it appeared to be unoccupied at the time every time I walked by I looked through the peep hole to see if I could make out what was beyond the door. It wasn’t until we had actually finalised the booking that I realised that The Cobblers was that exact place! I couldn’t have possibly imagined what was beyond those doors. It’s truly amazing! We were rather spoiled, having the whole place for just two of us but there is more than enough room and everything you need for full occupancy! Alan was very helpful on the couple of occasions I contacted him with minor queries and responded quickly. We stayed for 10 days but would have loved to stay much longer - could even imagine living there! It was great chatting to Marguerite’s sister who arrived just as we were leaving. She had a large paper bag of still warm savoury pastries with her. Probably not one of my more sensible ideas - driving down those narrow streets while eating a pastry. It was delightful though. We love Cyprus and especially being away from the cities - they are all still a must for a visit though. Staying at The Cobblers made this holiday even more enjoyable. Dave & Chris

Nice house, nice surrounding. Good position for trips in all areas on Cyprus. The house owner Allan is a very friend kann and helpful guy. Definetly a recommendation.

La maison d'Alan et Marguerite est un havre de paix et délicieusement décorée. Nous y avons passé douze jours formidables. Cette vielle maison chypriote est particulièrement bien équipée. La décoration est soignée et de bon goût. Le jardin et les terrasses sont une invitation au délassement et au farniente (les belles soirées sous les étoiles! ).A noter le gentillesse et la disponibilité d'Alan. Tout est mis en oeuvre pour que ses hôtes se sentent bien (remarquable panier d'acceuil , frigo avec de quoi dîner et prendre le petit déjeuner ),à découvrir sans modération! remarquable! Grand merci à nos deux hôtes
