Aphrodite Hills Holiday Residences

Tasked with finding somewhere peaceful, relaxing (well lazy was the word) and warm for a friend’s 40th birthday, a villa rental at Aphrodite Hills looked to be the perfect fit – and it most definitely was! We booked a two bedroom superior villa (villa 0320) and we couldn’t have chosen better. The villa was superb. None of the photos we’d looked at prior to our arrival did it justice. It was better than we imagined – completely private, spacious, modern, so light and comfortable inside, nicely furnished, spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need. The garden was lovely, nicely planted and private, we could even see the sea in the distance from our terrace! But the swimming pool – wow – was bigger than we thought it would be and it was absolute bliss not having to share it with strangers. The gas barbecue was a massive plus and was certainly put to good use, I mean, when one of your party is a barbecue queen what more could you want… dinner al-fresco, delicious wine, good company and the sun going down like a ball of fire. Could someone send me back now please? We even had a small army of cleaners turn up mid-week to clean right through, change bedding, towels etc and a pool attendant who came in twice to check/clean the pool. We were very impressed with such good service. The resort itself is massive – so a car is a must. But again, everything you need is on site, including a supermarket, pharmacy and bakery and a good selection of restaurants in the Village Square. We ate at Pithari, the Greek Cypriot Tavern one evening, which I can highly recommend. Meze is the way to go there, which was superb and so much food I think we literally rolled out at the end of the evening. The service was excellent and it was certainly very good value for money. The service we received throughout the resort was excellent – but I have to give a big shout out to David, part of the concierge team. David was just brilliant and nothing was ever too much trouble. From arranging for birthday balloons to be delivered to the villa prior to our arrival, to arranging a late check out for us for our evening departure back to the UK and all the questions asked and advice given in between, he was only ever a WhatsApp message away. Good customer service is rare these days – but this was customer service at its very best (thank you again for everything David). Will we return? You bet we will!

We had an amazing time here! We stayed in a three bedroom apartment in the Theseus village. The apartment surpassed our expectations, it was modern and beautiful. We stayed in BM01 which is ground floor and it was amazing. We had so much space! It was spotless too and fully equipped with everything you could need! The service was awesome with a WhatsApp number to ask any questions, our bed was hard and they had a topper put on it straight away when I asked. We were surprised to have towels all replaces and the apartment cleaned midweek (they even cleaned the bbq and emptied the dishwasher for us!). They also provided fresh milk. When we arrived (so late at night) Harry’s met us and showed us to the apartment. Throughout the stay Harry’s was so wonderful and friendly - we wanted to visit the rentals lounge just to see him he was so fun and like a real ray of sunshine! We had a coffee at the golf club one day where views are lovely but the coffee was overpriced and not nice. The other days we went to the lovely bakery on sight which is amazing and decent priced. We wish we had discovered it earlier as they have sandwiches etc there for taking when you go out for the day all reasonably priced and amazing pastries. Don’t shop for groceries in the local shop in the village as crazy expensive but there’s plenty of good supermarkets around. Theseus village had two pools which we could use ( there might be another but we didn’t discover) and both we had to ourselves nearly every day. It’s spotless and everything is thought of. I can’t recommend this place enough!! Thank you Aphrodite hills - we will defo be back!!!
