"The Villa was in an excellent condition. The house is very nice, thoroughly planned and well maintained. Everything we needed was there upon arrival. The pool is great and clean, the grill offers everything you need for a good barbecue and even a covered (and lighted) place to sit beside it is there. Including a sink and water to prepare the food... Lysos is a rather quiet village with a few shopping opportunities for some urgently needed food or drink but as you need a car to get to Lysos anyway, it is no problem to go to the bigger supermarkets in Polis about 15 minutes away. From the pool and the balconies you can see the mountains and the sea, polis and a sensational night sky. Initially we were a little concerned about the road that is running just behind the pool, but you can only see it if you look down from the fencing wall and there is no traffic (a fire truck keeping lookout on the mountain comes by twice a day) on it. We've been twice in the paradisos hills hotel across the road for dinner and the food was good (a little buffet). Nice seating on the terrace and very friendly service. The best sightseeing trip was definetly the Avakas gorge. The kids loved it, pure adventure. The service was very good, friendly and fast. Excellent work. Locally everything was fine also and even special wishes as early as 4 o'clock in the morning were taken care of with a friendly and obviously honest smile. It was perfect.''

"The property was spacious, clean, modern and with good facilities. The location was quiet, picturesque and unspoilt but just a 10 minute drive from Polis town. The Old Town restaurant in Polis and the restaurant at the Paradisos Hills Hotel just across the road from the villa in Lysos were both great. Your service has been very efficient friendly and helpful. Many thanks."

"Beautiful property, larger than it appears on the pics with all the comforts of home, there was nothing that we needed which want available to us, including a few bottles of water on arrival, a welcome touch after a long flight and drive.... The property looks brand new and was a spotlessly clean inside and out, the gardens well tended and the pool cleaned several times during our short stay. Amazing sums up the location. High in the hills, the views/scenery were amazing. From the garden you look out over forest and farm land with nothing other than a few houses right down to the sea in the distance. Roughly a 45 min drive from Paphos airport, the directions from letsrentonline.com were really helpful, and we found it in the dark without a problem (surprisingly). Its pretty remote, but in a good way! Although there are a couple of neighbours we didn't really hear a peep from them and other than a few cars during the day it was silence, which was just what I wanted. Polis is about 25 mins away for the supermarkets, after stocking up there wasn't much reason to leave.? Savvas Taverna in Polis was great - We went here a few years ago and made a point of visiting again. I've never had such a warm welcome. If heading into Paphos harbour, The Gourmet Taverna is worth a visit. The owners are lovely people. Our flight home wasn't until 10pm so the 11am 'check out' wasn't the best for us, but a quick call to Nitsa in the morning and she agreed we could leave at 4pm.. That gave us another day to float in the pool and meant we didn't have to drive around all day with suitcases in the car. This was only possible because they didn't have new guests that day obviously. 10/10 for Service, communication & info. All met expectations. Couldn't ask for more."

''The villa was absolutely beautiful. The location was very peaceful and nice. Paradise hotel, food was lovely very friendly people. The owners were very nice people and we were very happy with your service. Many thanks''

"'Thank you for the e-mail. The villa was fantastic, the views sublime and the overall holiday just wonderful. The voucher is much appreciated as we will be looking to stay at the same villa again some time next year. Once again, thank you very much. i will recommend your services and properties without hesitation. Kind Regards, Joanna Maric"

Lysos

Lysos is a traditional mountain village in Paphos District, Cyprus. It's a picturesque mountain village famous for its efforts to maintain the beauty and the traditions of Cyprus.

At just under 500 metres above sea level the summers are a few degrees cooler than the fierce summer temperatures in the coastal towns, the air is less humid and there's usually a gentle mountain breeze.

In various locations around Lysos there are many remarkable landmark churches. Ayios Georgios was built in the 13th century where frescoes of Saint Mama can be found and it's still protected by the antiquities department. Churches such as Panayia Chryselousa constructed at the end of the 15th century with Byzantine and Gothic elements, Profitis Elias, Ayios Constantinos, Ayios Charalambos and the country church of Archangel Michael provide for a unique perspective of the village history.

With an abundance of natural water Lysos was used in Cyprus as an industrial area for the melting of metals. The fountain located by the church and built in the 1900's was made entirely of stone including the five taps of which were used to supply fresh drinking water.

Lysos is situated between the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the spectacular mountains of Paphos Forest and the Troodos. Walking in the forests is a delight. Filled with pine trees, fruit and olive trees, wild flowers and herbs and vineyards the air is scented and the views spectacular.

Lysos is home to a very good traditional Cyprus taverna, with neighbouring shops and the more widely known Paradisos Hills Hotel (50m away from Villa Agios Georgios).

The Paradisos Hills Hotel is a small intimate hotel with only 15 rooms and a restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner serving only the finest traditional Cyprus and International cuisine. Most of the food is locally sourced and much of it is organic and the Sunday buffet lunches are now known throughout Cyprus. The Paradisos Hills Hotel also has international evenings where guests and regular customers can experience something different and test the full range of its gastronomic skills.

Travel a little way passing the pretty village of Peristerona and you reach the small town of Polis. There is plenty of activity to choose from in Polis, whether you wish to dine in one of the many good quality restaurants, have a coffee or lunch in the central square, hire mountain bikes, quad bikes or maybe even a boat!

The nearby Latchi beach is renowned as one of the best in Cyprus and not as crowded as the beaches in and around Paphos itself.

Latchi beach is famous for its clear blue sea, soft white sand and a great selection of watersports which are readily available.

The watersports available at Latchi include diving, snorkelling, sailing, banana rides and a great deal more. Bring your UK driving licence and you can even hire a boat and explore the Akamas coast from the sea. Drop anchor when you feel like it and swim or snorkel in the warm crystal blue water of the Mediterranean Sea.

Don't fancy being the captain? Take a boat ride to the 'Blue Lagoon', swim or snorkel in the sea, then come back to the pretty harbour at Latchi to eat. Try the famous 'Fish Meze' where you'll be served around 20 dishes including some of the freshest catches of the day whilst watching the world go by. The harbour at Latchi is perfect to while away some time people watching.

Some of the best horse riding in Cyprus is also on the doorstep in Lysos. Further info here:
