    Great location, great pool. Loved that all the bedrooms were ensuite. Villa was comfortable. The water cooler was a bonus. Villa was walking distance to restaurants.

    Shower curtains! They got in the way and would stop water draining away. Wifi did not work upstairs.

    Pool was great nice and big. The location was handy as well not a long walk from town. The villa itself was nice and spacious.

    Outside area was huge, very pretty and had everything we needed. Pool a great size and able to easily walk into town, shop or sea. Car is useful to get to supermarket

    Bathrooms are dated with main shower overflowing due to long shower curtain. However, not a deal breaker. Property fantastic for price

    Very nice villa. Excellent location to the beach about 350 meters. Clean neat house, with all amenities, dishes, appliances. Clean excellent pool. Lots of flowers, which is very nice. The house has a great spacious hall. Three bedrooms, each bedroom has a separate bathroom. Very quiet place for family vacation. In general, everything was there for a great time. Sergey.

    The location was absolutely perfect, all the appliances were working. Pool was a really good size too.

    It would have been nice if having booked for 10 days it would include a complimentary clean half way through. I would have really liked that especially with a change of bedding and towels.

    Dear Aashita. Thank you for your positive comments and we are pleased that you had a good stay overall. Please note that your concerns have been passed on to our housekeeping management. Thank you and look forward to seeing you soon.

    Great location, fantastic pool and outside space. Everything you need in the villa from satellite tv, Wi-Fi and kitchen equipment. There’s also air con in every room.

    Very nice villa for a quiet vacation. There is a complete oasis in the yard, a lot of very beautiful flowers. The location is also great, close to the beaches and shops. 15 minutes walk from the centre of Protaras. There are also bus stops nearby, from where we went to Ayia Napa almost every day. The kitchen was fully equipped. As for the rooms, every room had its own bathroom, which is quite good for a large family. The rooms were also equipped with extra blankets in case of cold weather. The house has a pretty good owner. Kind and quite hospitable. We had a great time and we will definitely visit Penelope Villa in the next trip.

    Regarding the pool, I will add that there is artificial green grass around it. It was quite dusty, they cleaned the pool almost every three days, but in the pool, there was still dust, we think it was the fault of this green artificial grass. It would be good if they think of something else instead of this green cover.

    Great property, 2 minutes walk to the sea, 10 mins to the centre of the resort. Pool was amazing, very nice place to stay. Very spacious property, 6 sub beds, outside table, outside sofa, the same again inside. 100+ TV channels if needed. Used the beach at the end of the road, lovely restaurants and water sports there, good value. Great for snorkeling. Villa has three bedrooms, all with bathrooms plus downstairs WC. Towels supplied but bring your own for the sunbeds. Exactly what we expected and came away very relaxed. Pool cleaned twice when we were there.

    As some have said, the property is a little tired in the bathrooms. Our shower head was held on by duct tape which gave up while we were there. Not good enough really but La Mer Homes were contacted on WhatsApp and came and replaced it withing a few hours, so all good in the end. The showers curtain in the master bedroom is a bit rubbish so we took the mop up with us. Don't believe the quiet hours bit. The villas around are not owned or managed by the same company. Its pot luck on who you get, we has a sleepless night on the first night thanks to a group of young males on a 4 day AirB&B rental two up from us. Although a few villas up the road seem to be lived in permanently.

    Really good location. In between the main fig tree beach and a few quieter ones. Great pool.

    We loved the privacy, the huge pool

    Apologies this review is so late.Unfortunately the agent didnt inform the owners that we had late check out so they turned up prior to us leaving however they agreed we could stay and we shared the villa with them. They were lovely we had a nice talk with the gentleman and got to know each other a little. We loved and enjoyed our time here and will definitely return. The gardens were well kept and the villa had a very homely feel.

    Location is pretty good, not too far from Protaras main strip, about 10min walk to the bottom end. Pool is nice, and seems pretty well looked after - pool guy came every few days to clean it out, check chemicals, etc. Pool needs cleaning with net at least once every day and a net is provided - this is because there are lots of flowers and leaves blowing around from the plants/trees/flowers. We swept the patio areas at least 3 times to try and minimise these going into the pool! What we hadn't realised from the photos of the property is that all 3 bedrooms had ensuite bathrooms, which was great for our kids (2 girls and a boy) so they didn't have to share bathrooms!

    Villa is looking a bit "tired". Various maintenance issues with shutters that don't fully shut, patio doors that don't lock, one of the bedroom air con units failed during second week of stay meaning my son was cooked for 3 nights until they brought a temporary air con unit for last night. Had a cockroach problem which freaked the kids - to be fair, within a couple of days they'd sent the pest control guy out to spray them, but preventative treatment should have been done earlier according to owner's son. Provision of cutlery was a bit odd - too many forks but barely enough knives and a lot of the glassware and cups were chipped. Kitchen knives were so blunt we struggled to cut lemons and limes with them! The photos are very misleading as there are at least 2 different villas shown against this property - we were in Villa Penelope, which is the one with artificial grass around the pool, has pink flowers. It shows a built in BBQ which is misleading - is isn't functional and couldn't be used or you'd set the hedge alight! Instead, a pretty rubbish free standing small BBQ is provided. Was expecting more refinement for the money, but overall we enjoyed our stay.
