Beautiful secluded and well equipped

Villa was wonderful, staff were very friendly and when needed anything sorted was done very promptly will definitely use them again next year

Absolutely everything loved about this villa second year running we have been..would definitely book this villa every year, amazing villa in amazing grounds

I just wanted to say that we had a lovely stay in the villa. I have never been to Cyprus this time of year myself and I found it really wonderful and tranquil. The Christmas decorations inside and outside the villa were a great touch and really made it all feel really Christmasy during our stay. Please pass on our thanks to the owner from myself and my mum. She now knows why I love Cyprus so much! Thank you to everyone, have a Happy New Year and see you again in August!
Villa booked for August 2023

I have been using The Villa Group for my family holidays to Cyprus for 8 years now. I cannot fault them at all for the whole process of renting a villa through them. Lisa has always been more than helpful with any queries I may have had in regard to the rental. I find their prices to be competitive with other companies and the whole process with them is always hassle free and I always feel confident in them which is why I return every year to them without fail.

Booked same villa again for December 2022 and summer 2023

Our second stay at the villa. A wonderful paradise villa that was perfect for our yoga group.

A wonderful paradise villa that was perfect for our yoga group. Private, but close enough to the shop and the sea. Near the villa there are hiking trails and a wonderful mysterious cave church (Agioi Saranta) where we went in the morning for meditation.

The villa had the best outdoor area of any villa we have ever stayed at. Beautiful garden, good pool, great relaxed seating/lying area, Pool Table, Table Tennis Table, Children's Play Area, BBQ, views of the hills and sea. Inside, the villa was very good also with a decent main bedroom suite downstairs and 2 more modest bedrooms plus a mezzanine sleeping area upstairs. The satellite TV was incredible with hundreds of international channels and 7000+ films/dramas. The villa is half a mile up a road/track from civilization, making it very secluded but within 5 minutes of the restaurants, bars and beach. Hiking on numerous tracks directly from the villa is also a good option. Thoroughly recommended provided you don't want to be staying right in the thick of the action and you've hired a car.

We were happy with the villa and would book the same villa again. The villa group were extremely helpful regarding all queries with the villa booking , and all queries were accurate and prompt. Would definitely book with them again and highly recommend to friends and family.

This was our second time staying at this villa through the Villa Group and we plan on coming back in the future. Thank you for the lovely memories!

This is our 3rd stay at this superb villa. Just as our previous 2 stays, we thoroughly enjoyed our time at the villa and without a doubt will be visiting again :-) The villa was prepared perfectly on our arrival. We visited Ayia Napa (10 minute drive from the villa) one evening which we had not done on our previous visits, we were pleasantly surprised with the mixture of age ranges seen in Ayia Napa, there were families, younger groups and older groups - had a great evening wandering around and people watching. We highly recommend eating at Othellos Restaurant, which is the oldest restaurant in Ayia Napa - superb food, great service and reasonable prices.

Just returned from a two week stay at this superb villa in Protaras with my wife on October 2nd . I had seen a few reviews about the road leading up to the villa requires a 4x4 . It is also on the owners description page. We actually thought that this was a great bonus as we were so close to the main resort of Protaras and we were not getting disturbed by tourists etc out exploring or like me and my wife people just getting lost . The two weeks that we were there we never seen another car, quad bikes, etc passing the villa except for the people that come and maintain this beautiful property. The villa inside is well equipped with all things to make your holiday home special, and more. From the kitchen having all your usual appliances to the large tv in the sitting area which is set up to receive BBC ,ITV , hundreds of movies , full tv series and all the sport channels to pick from if you want to sit in for a short time to recharge your batteries. Was too lazy to play the table tennis but it would great for bigger parties as would the pool table . There are plenty of sitting areas outside for larger groups and one or two other areas that are more private if you just wanted some "me time". The villa itself looks great during the day but at night when the lights are on around the pool and also throughout the garden area it just seems to look even better. The peace and quiet at night when it got dark just sitting out having a drink looking out over the pool to see Protaras all lit up and the occasional ship passing in the night was worth the money alone. Been coming over to villas in Cyprus for about thirty years and even got married there twenty six years ago. We always look for a villa that has the oomph factor to celebrate this occasion and this villa did not disappoint us in any way .Thanks again to everybody involved in making this holiday so special.

The villa was amazing, very clean, well maintained with stunning garden and views. There was a problem with the outdoor fountains and waterfall but the villa customer service man tried his best to solve the issues and was very apologetic. He also provided excellent general hints and tips and where we should go and what we should see - like our personal travel agent. The whole process through The villa group has been excellent and we certainly will be booking with you in the future.

This was our second stay at Villa ref. 488 and just as the first time, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The garden is so relaxing and peaceful, many evenings spent sitting outside listening to music and relaxing. Highly recommend the Magical Waters in Protaras, we went to this twice and had a lovely evening. Highly recommend this villa.

We had a very nice vacation in this Villa. The design of the house and the garden is really beautiful, the location on the hill overlooking the sea is unique. We have been very, very comfortable.

The villa was absolutely lovely - possibly the best we have ever stayed in. The local manager, Chris, came to see us, and was very helpful with our enquiries. We were very impressed with the service supplied by The Villa Group; every stage of the enquiry and booking was dealt with quickly and clearly, and we were much impressed by this.

The villa was in reality was exactly as had been portrayed on the website and associated photos. The booking process was simple, communication good and instructions clear. We easily made contact with the villa contact when required and a small issue involving a blown hairdryer was resolved easily with quick replacement provided. The villa was well equipped for self catering and clean throughout. The outdoor furniture was plentiful with a very well maintained garden. The 3 outdoor seating areas with tables provide many uses and settings for dining and relaxing. We loved the outdoor bed, hammock, hanging chair, table tennis and american pool table making excellent use of each. The villa has three bedrooms with an additional sleeping area on the 1st floor mezzanine comfortably sleeping 6 adults. A spacious villa with lots of amazing features in the middle of a national park with amazing views....couldn't have asked for more. We would definitely recommend the villa and company and will book again ourselves!

This villa was beautiful in a quiet setting with everything we needed. The customer service was fantastic throughout. Overall I loved this villa and will certainly look at returning and certainly letting others know about it. Lisa at The Villa Group was fantastic answering any queries I had!!

Firstly a big thank you to Lisa (The Villa Group) and Chris (Property Manager) for answering our queries so quickly and helping us during our time at the villa. The villa and gardens were even better than the photographs portrayed. The surrounding grounds, pool and villa itself were perfect for our group of 6 as we never felt that we were living in each others pockets. The day bed was a fantastic feature and we made full use of the pool, pool table and table tennis. We also enjoyed all the wildlife the villa grounds had to offer and had many BBQ's. It was lovely to have the opportunity to meet George the owner who obviously takes pride in keeping the grounds of the villa beautiful. It was also great that the "pool man" cleaned the villa pool three times during the two weeks we were there. We had a wonderful holiday and wouldn't hesitate to come back to this villa. Already I am really missing my early morning and late evening swim in the pool that was always warm and the lovely views from any of the outside seating areas facing the gardens and sea. Even after our incredibly long journey home, we are still feeling relaxed thanks to the wonderful time we spent at this villa.

Myself and my sisters and a couple of friends have just returned from the villa, wow, it was everything that I had read about, beautiful all the way through, everything we needed was there, don't be put off by the un made track, its not a problem and we walked it quite a few times, takes 10 mins and is a lovely walk, pool was great, and it was deep up the one end, (I hate shallow pools), lots of greenery and trees and flowers to look at, lovely barbecue area, loads of seating everywhere. I even had a bottle of wine and a balloon left for me for my 40th birthday. Would definitely go back, but for two weeks this time, absolutely fantastic and Lisa from The Villa Group was a brilliant agent, very prompt and dealt with all my enquiries, well done, this property is one to enjoy.

Superb villa set in a tranquil and peaceful location with stunning landscaped gardens. Pool table and table tennis table were enjoyed by us and being within a less than 10 minute drive to the Protaras strip was great for an evening out.

The booking process was excellent - always prompt with replies and a particular thank you to Lisa for dealing with our requirements and always responding so quickly. The Villa was perfect and managed really well. The outside was just as the pictures portrayed and I look forward to using your services in the future.

The outdoor area was excellent, offering lots of shaded areas, gaming areas for the children, and varied seating areas. The pool was super and much used by all. We hardly spent any time inside. The kitchen was well equipped, though we found so many fantastic restaurants locally that we did not need to do much self catering. As we arrived quite late in the evening the welcome pack of groceries was most useful. All contact with the office and the site agent Ron was very efficient and helpful, would definitely recommend this villa to friends and family.

Very Nice & Quiet Out The Way Location That We Were Looking For. Far Enough Away, Yet Close Enough If You Wanted It To Be. Pool / Outdoor Living / Pool Table / Table Tennis ... All Things For All Guests!!!!!! Was Not My 1st Choice, But Recommended By You And Yes I Think You Were Right, Better Than My 1st Choice. Without A Doubt, Will Be Booking Again!!!!!

Our whole experience of booking through the Villa Group has been excellent. The couple of questions we had about the villa's facilities were answered very promptly and fully and given that we hadn't heard of the company before doing an internet search I felt very confident about our booking. The villa itself was just as it has been pictured and everything was in good condition and working order. It was lovely to arrive and find milk and bread in the fridge and be able to make a drink on arrival. We would certainly use this company again and the only reason we wouldn't book the same villa again is that we would like to try staying somewhere different. Many thanks. The Parr family.

My self and my family arrived at the Villa late at night on approaching the villa all lit up was a beautiful site to start the holiday, this confirmed exactly as the website had shown. The outside and inside of the Villa was perfect the layout and deco was as I would have chosen myself, I felt very comfortable as if I were at home. The gently breeze while sitting around the pool was appreciated and the view was wonderful not just in the villa grounds but further on we were able to see the blue sea. Staff and owner were there when needed, very much appreciated helping to make are holiday a memorable time.

Excellent customer service from Lisa. Very smooth booking process. Prompt replies to any queries, really impressed. The villa was in a beautiful, secluded location. The landscaped gardens were well maintained. The villa itself was well equipped. We had a great holiday and the Villa is beautiful.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at one of your villas in Cyprus. During the booking process and before our trip it was easy to contact you with queries etc and we received responses quickly. The villa was amazing with spectacular views and surroundings. We would stay in the same villa again. We would definitely recommend the villa group to anyone looking to book a villa abroad. Many thanks Gemma Read

The villa was just as described and hoped - stunning. The views all around were superb and the location so peaceful. Despite the benefit of the villa being out of the way, it is surprisingly close to amenities and the party street with lots of bars, restaurants and shops. The last approach to the villa which is on an unmade track does require caution but just added to the seclusion and peace and quiet of the location.

The villa was just as it looked in the photos so we were very pleased, the setting was lovely and enough out of the way that we didnt have to worry about disturbing anyone else as we had five sons with us and could be noisy at times, it was a bit of a trek into the town as the villa is on a hill but that was worth it to get the location, would definitely go to cyprus again and would definitely book this villa again, the people that looked after the villa were lovely and offered advice if asked about where to visit and such and they look after the villa very well, it was lovely and clean.

The staff at The Villa Group were fantastic at meeting out needs and very quick on replying to my emails. Would definitely book with this company again. The details and pictures provided were wonderful. Villa met our high expectations plus more. Such a luxurious villa definetly 5* plus. My family and I had a wonderful 2 weeks in our villa as we booked it for our wedding In cyprus so it was also our honeymoon villa. Very modern beautifully located with breathtaking views over protaras. Do not have a negative word to say about the villa or The Villa Group. Booking with them is a must for a perfect holiday.

Fantastic villa, thank you. We had a wonderful holiday, and thank you, Lisa, for all your prep work re beds, etc. Hot water whenever needed, good facilities, regular cleaning of the pool and very relaxing covered outdoor areas. Thank you.

Hi Lisa and team! what a wonderful experience the booking of the villa was! Your efficiency was outstanding and we felt confident that you were always looking after our interests as well as that of your owners! Thank you! The villa was wonderful! it was in absolute perfect condition and Ron and Sue had gone way beyond what we expected with putting up Christmas decorations and putting everything out ready for us, just perfectly! We had a little hiccup with an air con, but they were quick in solving the problem and were really wonderful to deal with! The whole experience was excellent and we will not hesitate using your services again and encouraging other to also use your company! May, 2013 be an exceptional year for you all - and thanks again.

Thanks for always being there for us when we needed advice and had general questions. Your answers have always been prompt and very helpful. The villa was as stunning as we expected, particularly the terrace, garden and pool area. As the weather was very warm and sunny it was possible to spend most of the time outside. If we were to consider coming back to Cyprus with a group of friends, we would definitely consider booking through you again and also coming back to this Villa.

On arrival at our villa we were amazed at the beauty of the surroundings and the grounds of the villa, The pool was amazing as was the villa itself .It lacked for nothing, the kitchen was fully equiped with every thing you would need for your stay even down to spare light bulbs. The shops are within walking distance but far enough away for the quiet and tranquility this villa allows. in summary i could quite easily have just moved in there and then and made it my "forever" home. Beautiful villa beautiful location.

We had a wonderfully realxing time at this villa. It was a great location, we loved the privacy it offered. The gardens were amazing! We loved how there were many different places to relax both in the sun or shade. When booking a villa I always check to if the villa has a large pool and either a table tennis table or a pool table, the fact that this villa had all three made it even more appealing. We loved the shady area towards the end of the garden and sat there every day playing cards or reading. I was impressed with the sea view. The standard of furniture outside was very good and of course the kids loved the hammocks! I am sometimes disappointed when the standard of soft furnishings aren't as good as shown in the photographs but this villa owner obviously updates these items frequently, I cannot stress how important this is for repeat bookings. Inside the villa we loved the layout and fun decor and the master bedroom was a great size. Also the view from upstairs out of the picture window was stunning. All in all we would loved to book this villa again although it is so popular it might prove difficult! Lisa was very efficient with all the booking side and I thought it was a lovely touch that she rang the day before our holiday to check we were organised and had rememebered our directions! We have booked many villa holidays over the years and not once has someone from the company rung us. Ron was very friendly and helpful and George was lovely when he came to tend the gardens. Well done to George and the Villa Group for a lovely, hastle free holiday.

Second time this year staying at this beautiful villa! The team at The Villa Group were always on hand to help and the owners and the property management team always quick to respond! My family joined us on this visit and thoroughly enjoyed themselves and didn't want to return home. We can't wait until our next visit!

Villa was lovely and in a brilliant location.

This villa is incredible! It was perfect for our holiday. With the beautiful view it felt like we had our own private paradise! We plan to return and to book the same villa!

The service provided is excellent. Lisa has always been very swift in responding to any queries I have had and has been supportive in every way. As I have not had any problems or issues with the Villa Group I cannot advise of how these are dealt with, but that must go some way in crediting their service, not having any problems! But I do believe that should any arise they will be dealt with in the swiftest manner as any other queries have in the past. The property is absolutely stunning!!! A credit to both the Villa Group and most importantly the villa owner. The views are picturesque, the surroundings are glorious. It may be some distance from the main hustle and bustle of Protoras, but it's a small price to pay to enjoy such a secluded and private holiday. As the villa provides so much opportunity for entertainment (especially for family/group bookings) you would not feel at a loss for any entertainment provided in Protoras or any other location. The gardens are absolutely beautiful. Great care and attention to detail. All my friends and family were very impressed with the photos!! I will be visiting again, as I have booked the villa again for July 2012 and June 2013! Thank you to both George and Lisa and the Villa Group for making my holiday so enjoyable and relaxing.

We loved our stay at the villa, It was within easy reach of the town & beaches. It was very comfortable & we especially enjoyed the outside area. We would defiantly stay at the villa stay again if we get a chance to return to Cyprus.

The booking of the villa was excellent, so was the customer service. We would definitely book again. Lisa Bundy was extremely helpful and efficient throughout the process of booking and even calling me before the holiday to wish us well. The villa and grounds were beautiful as promised.

Garden, pool lovely, villa chosen because it was 5 star. We absolutely loved the villa, the holiday was lovely.

We found this villa by accident as we were off road driving a couple of years ago, and drove past it. Then as we were looking for villas in the Protaras area , on the internet, we stumbled upon your website and booked it immediately. the Villa and gardens are amazing. The lighting in the garden is excellent. we have already booked for 2013, as 2012 is already full. Thank you for a most lovely and relaxing 8 days.

The villa exceeded our expectations. The villa is totally secluded yet only a 20min stroll in to town with a push chair. The walk from town back to the villa is tough with a push chair as it's all up hill but if you don't have a car a taxi is only 7 euros. I highly recommend using Comet Taxis in Protaras, a family run business who are extremely friendly, prompt and reliable. I have nothing negative to say about villa group or Ron and Diana from the villa management company, they were all very helpful and quick to get back to me with any questions I had. The villa itself was amazing, fantastic views, fantastic facilities and fantastic location. We have already looked to book this again next year but unfortunately the dates we want have already been taken!!

Amazing villa in a perfect secluded location. Would reccomend to friends & family.

We had a lovely holiday and the villa is wonderful. If we come back to Cyprus we will definitely book this villa again through your company.

I have nothing but praise for Rent Cyprus Villas. Very helpful company and excellent villa.

This property has the best of both worlds, it is so peaceful and yet only 15mins walk into the town. The property itself is beautiful and has various section within the gardens that all can be kept entertained. We had 5 adults and 3 children in our party. We would most certainly use again.

We had a wonderful holiday. The villa offerred total relaxation and privacy. The facilities in place were excellent both inside the accommodation and the extensive garden.

The villa was everything we dreamed for and more, totally private with lots of different areas for all members of the family to chill. Pool and waterfall excellent and enjoyed the fish in the pond too. Definately be back ,thank you.

Excellent villa, good facilities, good location.

Complete privacy, excellent facilities, everything we expected and more. Catered for a varying age range excellently. A first class villa which we would return to again without question, The Rose Family.

The villa was wonderful, our stay at the villa was great. The villa is equiped with all you need and the internal design is excellent. The garden and the view is wonderful. The location in the middle of the forest is excellent, give you privacy and a view in one location. We will come back for sure.

A super villa, the best we have been in so far, would use your service again.

We had a wonderful holiday, in a wonderful location. The whole process was seamless.

Everything promised was delivered giving us a high level of satisfaction in what was a delightful villa in a glorious location, in all just what we were hoping for.  Excellent from beginning to end of our stay. The villa, the staff and their service made our visit a wonderful experience.

The villa was great, clean and tidy, with all equipment needed. The location was perfect. In my opinion you should put in your website more variety of villas like that because there is no more booking availability for this one!!

Our overall experience of staying at the villa was wonderful. I would certainly recommend to friends & family not only the villa but rentcyprusvillas. We had a truly wonderful relaxing time & the outdoor space & pool was very spacious. A lot of care & attention has gone into making this villa very special. As a family it's location suited all of our age range.  Near enough to Ayia Napa for the youngsters & for a quieter pace a short stroll down into Protaras.

I just wanted to drop a note of thanks to you following our recent return from the villa. I wanted to let you know how professional and helpful you were as a company and by far the best booking service we have used in the last 10 years of private villa holidays! George and his wife clearly have put heart and soul into the design and facilities at the villa, its truly breath taking position, views and total seclusion is only enhanced by its interior and facilities. The pool area and outside furnishings are the best we have experienced in over 10 years of private villa holidays, the website photography does not even come close to capturing what this unique villa has to offer. The outdoor Pool Table, Table Tennis and board games provided great entertainment, whilst the beautiful landscaped grounds with cascading fish ponds and the waterfall over the pool truly complete this luxurious villa. I only hope to return and can assure any guest that this really is a dream property. Please pass our personal thanks on to George and his family but also Diane and the management team who were extremely helpful!

The accomodation surpassed our expectations, especially outside which was as close to perfect as you could imagine. Loads of space and fish in the ponds too!

What a fantastic villa, wonderfull location, amazing views, complete privacy, awesome pool. There were absolutely nothing negative to say. Everything we asked for was provided and waiting for us upon arrival.

A truly excellent holiday at an excellent villa. I had high expectations which were surpassed within 12 hours of being there! From the pool and waterfall to the stylish decor and much needed air conditioning. This villa is very secluded but within 15 minute walk of bars, restaurants and long sandy beaches!! Thank you for a great experience!!

Very impressed with this property, great accommodation, lovely pool and truly private.

Lovely villa, great location.  We really needed the car as the road to the resort wasn't paved the whole way and not lit and it was difficult with a pushchair, but the centre of Protaras was so close it wasn't a problem.
