On our arrival late at night, we were very pleased to discover the welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, bread, butter, honey and halloumi, not forgetting the bottle of wine!
Unfortunately, we also found a few problems resulting from the very recent building works/extension, including no internet connection, no air conditioning in the main bedroom, lights not working in second bedroom, no water coming out of hot taps. We left messages for the owner Nicos and and Melissa, the property manager after midnight , on discovering these issues. They both contacted us first thing in the morning with apologies, and Melissa then arrived with plumber/electrician/ general handyman Dave, and remedied all of these faults.
We found the villa very suitable for our needs as a family with 2 teenagers. The beds were comfortable, bed linens and towels good quality, good wardrobe/ storage space, and great to have the 3 bathrooms. Air conditioning and ceiling fans very welcome at night.
The living/dining areas were comfortable, though we didn't use these much as spent most time outside. The kitchen was compact but very well stocked with plenty of glasses, crockery and cutlery. The large fridge freezer was ideal, and the dishwasher and washing machine easy to use.
The outside space is fabulous; pretty garden area with fruit trees and flowering shrubs, gorgeous scented jasmine on fence, and obviously the great pool- a good size for swimming and a perfect temperature in late May- a nice surprise to have pool towels provided too. There were plenty of sun loungers, although some of these were damaged (I understand that they are being replaced). The spacious patio area with outside table and chairs was fab- and another table and chair set in the garden too. Although the BBQ area was not complete, a good portable BBQ was provided. The new extended upstairs balcony, accessible from the upstairs bedrooms was lovely, with beautiful views over the garden, banana field behind, and out to the sea. Hopefully some outside furniture will be provided for this area too.
We had been to Coral bay previously and knew that this area was were we wanted to be- quieter outer edge of Coral Bay, accessible to lively strip if wanted, but within a few minutes walk of 2 good waterfront tavernas and pretty sandy beach below Corallia Beach hotel. Also well positioned for access to Paphos, Akamas penisula and Latchi.
We would definitely recommend, and stay at this villa again.
