    Amazing hospitality. The owner of the apartment is very nice and welcoming, available for any request. We were welcomed with a cake that the owner of the apartment made and with many treats in the fridge. The yard is spacious and authentic. The apartment itself is in a traditional rustic design, you have to connect, one space but very large, equipped with everything you need even a washing machine and dishwasher. From the area itself you can go on many trips. Recommend!

    The place is perfect for a weekend with a group of friends. Mr Xenios was absolutely hospitable, always very willing to help us. He has even brought us delicatessen platter, bread, milk, a very proper breakfast, free of charge. His wife has also made for us homemade cakes. True Cypriot hospitality!!!

    We had a wonderful weekend at this hotel. From the very beginning, we were warmly welcomed by the host. He was incredibly hospitable and attentive. We were pleasantly surprised to find traditional treats, wine, and breakfast items included in the service. The homemade cake was simply exceptional! The photos of the house and its surroundings on Booking.com fully match reality — everything is very clean, cozy, and full of charm! At the same time, the host was absolutely unobtrusive, and we felt completely comfortable with the freedom to enjoy our stay as we wished. We will definitely come back again!

    It would be more energy efficient stay if the doors and windows were better insulated.

    Xenios Cottage is a cosy home with full of everything. Very comfortable studio furbished with traditional Cypriot furniture and accessories. The owner Mr Xenios was kind enough to prepare a breakfast bucket which we did not expect and it was sufficient for a week for two of us as we were going to stay there only two days. It was the coldest two days of the past 35 years but we did not feel it at all. Summary: Very highly recommended…

    The church bells are quite loud in the morning, but that's part of the towns charm.

    Xenios and his wife were super kind. Very flexible with the check-in time, they got us cake, breakfast, and snacks. Xenios showed us around the town, which was also amazing. The cottage has a cute authentic vibe. Would definitely recommend to anyone

    We're had a magnificent experience in Xenios Cottage! It's a beautifully decorated in traditional Cypriot style house and yard. It's a pleasure to be there and communicate with it's owner. It's got literally everything you might need in: full equipped kitchen with food for your breakfast (including coffee, tea, milk, sugar, bread, eggs, variety of jams, cheese and delis, breakfast cereals for kids) and even home-made pie from the owners wife, and also there was complimentary bottle of wine and snacks. Our cottage had one traditional very comfortable bed with really warm duvet and two sofa-beds with duvets and all the bed lining. There were many extra duvets and pillows in the wardrobe as well. We had a nice time and strongly recommend Xenios Cottage.

    We are happy and lucky that we chose Xsenios cottage for our stay in Cyprus. My family spent wonderful 2 weeks there. Every detail in the house is chosen carefully and thoughtfully. Host is warmhearted and kind, ready to help you in any way you need. Lofou is marvellous oppoutunity to see and get the feeling of authentic Cyprus. It is the most lively and taken care small village that we have visited in Cyprus.

    If you come by car, enter the village through the south. Otherwise you are in for very narrow roads.

    The host goes above and beyond. The house is incredible and the village is cute. It really deserves its perfect rating.

    I loved the hostst warm welcoming he guided us to the cottage and also told us were to park so that we could have easy access . He and his wife left us a tray with lots of cheese and deli meat cuts, milk for the breakfast and a lovely spong cake . The house itself was so cozy and most importantly spotless.

    AWSOME experience and WONDERFUL host !!!!

    Nothing, it was all perfect for us !

    WOW ! Such a great and warm experience !!! First of all, the cottages are great! We rented the 2 homes offered for our extended family. There houses are authentic and very well kept. It combines both the original housing elements with modern amenities (WIFI, washing machine, induction stove, etc...). There is a BEAUTIFUL small yard between the 2 hoses, that we have enjoyed so much staying in the evenings for joint dinners. If you book both houses, you actually have an entire private place to an extended family, which is great! Also, one of the houses (the one we rented) has a floor that is actually a fully equipped mini apartment with a bedroom, shower & toilets, a small kitchen, and a small living area with a TV. It can be accessed individually, or joint together with the main house via a door trap door and a ladder, which is very cool, our kids loved it ! But other than the house itself, I want to say something on Xenios, the owner. Xenios is a WONDERFUL person ! He took such good care of us from the second we started communication. First of all, he met us and showed us everything in the houses, with great warmth and patience. Then, he took us all for a walk on the Lofou village, showing us the different historical places, giving recommendations, tips on how to get around, and where to find food, shops and more. Moreover, which is so warming and amazing, Xenios and his lovely wife have equipped both homes with food and treats for all of us ! A homemade cake, wine, various treats, a mixture of serials for the kids - WOW ! But not only that, also in the fridge we found a tray of cheese, jam, sausages, juice, butter, and more. One morning we woke up to another fresh cake that Xenios left on our doorstep. What can I say, I wish all hosts were half as friendly, warm, and welcoming. THANK YOU XENIOS FOR THE AMAZING STAY ! You made our Cyprus experience perfect !!!

    Xenios is a great and accommodating host! Quick to provide information and responsive. Our family was personally welcomed even though we arrived late. Gave us a real surprise - great cake, snacks and wine, as the local shops and restaurants were already closed. We felt welcome and really enjoyed our stay in these apartments - the beautifully renovated building and its ancient interior, the charming courtyard, where we could enjoy the warm March morning in silence. I would definitely choose these apartments again and recommend them to other families. Maris

    We had a wonderful (too short) time in this gem in the middle of Lofou. Xenios is an exceptional, friendly and helpful host. We didn't miss anything. He took the time to walk with us through the village and explain the history and buildings. The fridge was well stocked for a big breakfast, and a home-baked cake and a bottle of wine were also provided for us - we didn't expect that! The cottage was very clean, the courtyard so inviting...we regretted not being able to stay longer. Thanks for everything, all the best, Xenios!
