Reviews of Xenis House

LOCATION AND COURTYARD OUTSIDE THE ROOM

The hostess was very generous. The apartment is very spacious, and we enjoyed our stay there."

The place was wonderful, it has a beautiful front yard with a peaceful garden filled with fruit trees that is right next to the river which you can hear when you’re there, making for a great relaxing time. The studio on the first floor that I was staying has a very traditional Cypriot theme to it which was cool to experience. It had everything you’d need, fully equipped and spacious. It was very quiet when I was staying there. The location is just perfect, very close to the supermarket and also the beautiful walking tracks that lead you to the top of the village and towards the mountains. The owner lady and her partner were incredibly friendly!

Great and welcoming host! Love the fruits from her garden

Bathroom and kitchen are fully functional but renovation would be nice.

We absolutely loved this place and would love to come back. Our room had a fireplace, and even though we paid extra for the firewood, the joy of lighting it was worth 100 times more. Waking up to the mountain view was amazing — such a peaceful and beautiful moment.

It was hard to get the shower water temperature right, but since the weather was warm, it wasn’t a big problem. Also, we couldn’t find any tea in the house or in the village — everything was closed for Easter.

The upstair room has a big balcony with nice view to the mountain large room with well equiped kitchen

The shower hot stream is not so good

What I liked first was the hospitality and welcoming approach of the host. The host is lovely person ;-). The place is in perfect location, walking distance to Galata centre and to Kakopetria also. Very quiet area

Very kind host. Everything we needed was provided and if something was missing they would respond very quickly. Complimentary bottle of village wine was waiting for us on the table and the room was tidy and clean. Fireplace was beautiful with all the tools needed for us to cook directly on it. BBQ basics were provided. Water for the shower was always hot. As quiet as it gets. Haven't enjoyed sleep like this in a long while.

I would appriciate if the wood for the fireplace was included in the price and not paid after the booking. We shouldnt be forced to pay 10 euro for a small box of wood lasting one night. Not a big deal but would be appriciated as other more affordable stays provided the wood for free. Bathroom was a bit cramped as they decided to fit a small jacuzi in it and not much room to sit on the toilet. Spacious shower would have been way more appriciated.

The ambiance was amazing, nice fireplace and they provide the wood at an additional price. the owner was very cute and made sure we have everything. There is a great spot to sit outside and chat. Also the bed was great.

The jacuzzi was small, me and my partner like to bath together and there wasn't enough space.

Fruit on table, got the extra sheet I asked for, cold water in fridge and coffee and coffee mixer available.

Was difficult to find, had to find small signs on the road instead of using our google maps. We contacted the host when we arrived, she was difficult to understand. Told us she would get there in 5 minutes, was nowhere to be found. We wanted to lay down after our trip, had to wait for her. The door is difficult to open/close/lock, didn't feel secure. No view at the mountain, as advertised. No table outside either, as shown in photos. The bathroom was really bad, toilet was squished in corner between jacuzzi and wall, could not use it comfortably, had to hold it in for 2 days. Also, bathroom sink is tiny, and hands fit barely to get washed. Bathroom window does not have a net, to protect from insects etc. so that we can leave it open to air out bathroom, not romantic at all. In terms of sleeping, pillows were tiny and really low, mattress was too firm and our heads ended up in weird angle and couldn't sleep, no extra pillows in wardrobe. Curtain and bed cover had cigarette burn holes and wall next to bed was dirty and had dead spider dangling. Blanket had hair from previous person. In terms of amenities, hand soaps were tiny, dish sponge dirty and no paper towel for our hands in kitchen, or even a kitchen towel. Toilet paper was bad quality and too thin, had 2 rolls available. Biggest issue was that we couldn't sleep, at night there was lots of light from kitchen window, straight opposite from bed, so no privacy either, curtains were almost transparent. No dark curtains or way to keep the light out. When the sun came up, around 6 am, whole room was lit, couldn't sleep. I didn't use the jacuzzi, so no idea about that. Air condition was noisy and old, took sometime to work properly. Needs a new one.

In a hidden peaceful corner of Troodos mountains, a lovely spacious studio and a very friendly host

The owners were so friendly Charming rustic house in a quiet place to relax, including a jacuzzi that worked perfectly (for more services, Kakopetria is less than 5 minutes driving) Parking next to the house The terrace has a beautiful vine (full of bunches of grapes), ideal for sitting and spending a nice evening with the freshness of the mountain Complete kitchen, with all the necessary utensils for cooking

The bed and pillows could be more comfortable Booking (or owners) should be notified that payment can only be made in cash
