Secret Oasis Villas - Violetta

A quiet location with amazing views. The access road isn't a main road but careful driving makes it manageable. The villa was clean and water and milk were left for us .. handy with our late night flight. Previous reviews have mentioned wild dogs .. we heard them at the weekend and they are hunting packs with their owner making a brief enthusiastic chorus! The hot water is solar heated and showers take a few minutes to run hot but are then fine. Phillipos supermarket (which stocks everything you could possibly think of and the most amazing bakery goods) and local bars within a 10 minutes drive .. can really recommend Legends Bar for food and friendliness! Plus they show the sports. Really had an amazing week here .. those views are simply idyllic and we had perfect weather to complete the holiday experience.

Had a great time in cyprus staying at Ladania villa, coral bay. After reading the reviews was a little concerned but the last review helped us alot. . 3 word app helped us get to the villa in the dark . We took ant powder but we didnt have to use any, was abit cooler in sept . We were given a Kia creed which we found was for 4 adults and lugguage.we had to pay extra for fully comp which was an extra 85 pounds and they do fill it up with petrol which was 75 pounds but we used the car every day and got the most of our petrol . Ladania villa did have a few twisty turns of the main road and was uneven so we had to take it slow and less people in the car was better often 3 of us would walk up the hill and wait for the car at the top. . We heard the wild dogs just a few times didnt bother us. . We were prepared to ask Tui for the code couple of days before we went, which we got and other details regarding aircon, bins and cleaning ond the pool. . Pool man was friendly and kept the pool clean. . Aircon was available first night we got there, main bedroom was abit noisey. We loved the villa, recommend it, was clean, big, peaceful and close by the supermarket, resturants , beach and 20 mins from paphos. Pleased with the car loved the pool and enjoyed our stay. Visited the gorge and last castle resturant - bbq. Mosiacs in paphos and tombs of the king. Lots of eateries and shops in paphos. Dont do the castle at the end 2.50 euros just to see a view! Had a fab boat ride to blue lagoon, we went to Latsi 50 mins, lovely journey seeing mountains, great 45 mins ride, 1hr swim snorkling if you like they provide the equipment, then back. Fruit and drink. 20 euros each. A nice smaller boat. Lovely markets and if you want to see a traditional village they are 1hr plus from coral bay. Lovely meal at onrio by the sea.

Ok.. we are only about 15 hours into our holiday … but we’ve been nervous about the lack of reviews being posted in the last 10 months - so here’s the early feedback and things to know during your most stressful time (airport arrivals, car hire, villa, supermarket) Upon leaving pathos passport control, get your luggage, go through the green section and directly opposite is Eurocar … who are Tui’s partner You will be awarded a Kia Rio with the chance to upgrade to a Kia Ceed for an extra €250 euros - neither of which are big enough to legally fit luggage for 2 adults and 2 kids (80kg luggage) You’ll then have to pay €85 for fuel … about €250 for a second driver and comprehensive insurance = ouch To get to the villa use google or apple maps … but before you do (do it back in the U.K.) - download “what three words” app and type in blearily.observe.fostering and then click through to your desired live app such as google maps or apple maps. It takes about 30-40 mins on the wildest route ever - but it literally gets right to the door .. the other TUI villa is about 50 yards further on TUI will have sent you the key safe code which is right next to the door (2 keys one for the villa and one for the annex) Once inside pls insert you key fob into the right hand wall and this activates everything V happy with the villa, layout, cleanliness, pool, patio, facilities etc But I would suggest you bring ant powder with you and blast all around most of the building and in the kitchen discreetly (they are very small ants) The big issue is that there in so aircon until the pool man arrives the next day … so not only did not of use sleep a wink in this heatwave … but it’s gone up even more it’s now €10 per unit per day (€240 euros for our 2 bedrooms) - ouch We arrived at the villa about 12:30am (we flew from Birmingham airport) However, once the aircon new mortgage has been paid - view from the pool area and indeed the pool area and villa - made us all feel so much better The main supermarket is great - they literally sell everything but it is expensive but also great quality and all major brands So feel free to ask any questions whilst we are here Initial thoughts … terrible car choice offered (plan for unexpected extra costs) … plan not to sleep on the first night and then spend another wad of cash on the aircon having not slept a wink … spend a fortune at the supermarket - AND THEN… sit back, have a nap and chill at the amazing view and somehow it all seems worth it 14 days to go and looking forward to it
