Reviews of Despina country retreat

Despina’s and Steve’s country retreat is a wonderful place to relax and recharge. The room was really cozy, spotless and the breakfast was amazing. The highlights for us were the green surroundings, the spacious outdoor area, the pool, and of course Despina and Steve and their 2 dogs and cats - we had an amazing time and would love to visit again.

Nothing!

The property was very clean and the house was in the nature

Although the property was in general terms clean and with a very nice view we didn’t like the following: 1. The hosts are living in the property, hence you do not have privacy and you cannot use the big kitchen as shown in the pictures. 2. You do not feel comfortable to relax or walk around the property because you are actually living in THE HOUSE OF THE HOSTS and again this is NOT WRITTEN ANYWHERE IN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY, YOU NEED TO GO THROUGH THE COMMENTS TO FIND THIS OUT! 3. The hosts have pets in the house and this is not written anywhere in the description of the property. Indeed in the description, it’s written that the pets are not allowed!

The place is like heaven on earth. Quiet and peaceful with a wonderful view of Cyprus nature. Sunset was lovely and romantic. The hosts were friendly and warm. It was a pleasure speaking to them. The breakfast was delicious and her homemade jams are to die for. Highly recommended. .

The only disadvantage was from our part since we booked only for one night. Would have loved to stay more nights at such a beautiful place.

Beautiful views of the village and very welcoming hosts

The hosts Despina and Steve were very welcoming and hospitable and they made us feel very comfortable. The room was comfortable and everything was very clean, the breakfast was outstanding! It included free range eggs from their chickens, home made jams from their fruit trees, a lovey cheese and ham quiche, and very nice cheese omelet, fried tomatoes, mushrooms and also bacon, haloumi and sausages! She even offered us a home made olive pie and also nice fruits like apricots and watermelon. The location has nice views over the village and was very relaxing and quite.

It was absolutely stunning - Despina and her husband made us feel so Welcome from the first second on. We only stayed for one Night, But definitely recommend longer stays. So you can also enjoy the pool. ☺️ The English Breakfast we got served in the Morning on the terrass with the stunning view was the perfect start in the morning. Thank you, Despina, for this unforgettable start for our Cyprus-Experience!

Friendly hosts. Quiet rural location in the hills above Paphos.

Needs a sign along the road and at bottom of drive to help people identify.

Excellent cooked breakfast, full English fry or omelette made perfectly by the hosts, also a range of homemade jams, nothing was too much trouble for Despina and Steve. Very comfortable room, immaculately clean and homely, made welcome to share the sitting room with the hosts and other guests for great company in the evening.

No problems at all, we were well looked after.

Everything. It felt like home.

It was very pleasant. As the hosts make you feel very welcome . A cozy place with an amazing village view with mountain tops peaking around . And a amazing breakfast . And will definitely recommend it to all . A peacefull getaway.

This is a perfect getaway from Cyprus lovely beaches to a remote retreat place, very calm and peaceful. Not far from a Paphos downtown but you can feel the real life on the island. The pool was refreshing, breakfast very large portion and made with love. Thank you very much for your warm hospitality, Despina and Steve. And I love your three cats and two dogs, they also work as a part of your team. It was a pleasure for me to know you and your lovely place

Not a complaint but a suggestion- when I have arrived to a Google map point I was a bit confused, the point is located beneath concrete steps and it would be better to put there a simple sign with an arrow, that you need to proceed 20 meters and make a right turn uphill.

We had a lovely stay at Despina Country Retreat. Both hosts were lovely and helpful and really welcomed us into their home. Great breakfast too. We had a bit of an eventful start to the day we left when our rental car broke down. The hosts went out of their way to help us and were very generous with their time. We didn't mind waiting for the replacement car though as there were a couple of cute kittens to play with :)

We stayed there for 8 nights. Probably the friendliest hosts we have ever met. Quiet an comfortable house with pool, outdoor kitchen and a stunning view! Highly recommendable :) Andi

My friend and I loved this accommodation so much! The hosts are wonderful. They have this lovely house and provide everything you need. We loved the house itself (it was full of authentic things), the view (was nice having breakfast in the morning with this view), they also have a swimming pool, fruits from garden. We had a feeling like we came to visit our relatives, because the stay was so warm and pleasant!

Nothing, all was great

Loved the location, super couple, easy to talk to. Lovely food.

We met with a warm welcome not only from the owners but also from their lovely pets. The owners are very nice people who live in this house (at the same time you have plenty of privacy) and you can see that they do everything from the heart. Home english breakfast on the tereace wirh fascinating view, pleasant refreshment in the pool, many recommendations about Cyprus… Thank you very much for this exceptional experience.

Very friendly hosts. Everything in description matches reality. Highly recomended!

Position, out of nowhere, in the middle of wild, natural environment, perfect for our research activity. Very kind, pleasant and obliging owners/managers The Home guard dog has a scary appearance, but ultimately he is very sweet and cuddly.

The colorful Christmastime like illumination of the building isn't exactly my favorite, but it makes sense, to be found arriving at deep dark night.

Very clean house. It was nice to stay with the hosts. They were very polite and hospitable.
