Marilena Sunset Villa Dio

It’s a great place for a holiday, with a large house, pool table, huge swimming pool, lovely sun beds and well-kept gardens. The views are stunning. The kitchen was the one letdown, as it’s poorly thought out and stocked. There’s a bakery/bar, grocery shop and ice cream parlour within walking distance, though I’d recommend having a car.

The owner was very nice and came by several times, mostly to look after the pool. Its pump was broken when we arrived. The villa is secluded, with amazing views, a massive pool and a fairly large property, so I’d probably visit again. The area behind the villa didn’t look very well maintained, though I suspect the land belongs to someone else. The drive up is steep and unpleasant at night, and might be impossible in a smaller car.

My family loved our stay. The house is large, spacious and comfortably furnished, in a quiet rural area. It’s exceptionally clean, very well equipped, with good-sized grounds and a huge pool. You need a car, though there are plenty of shops and restaurants a short drive away. It’s about an hour from Paphos airport and up the coast from Polis. Dealing with the attentive managing agents Eos Villas and the owner Mr. Andres was a pleasure. The customer service was first rate, and my whole experience was positive. I’d have no hesitation recommending the villa. I sincerely hope we can return, and we’ll definitely be in touch if we do.

The pool became a second home during the two weeks my family and I spent here. I loved every second, and the owner was very welcoming. He brought us oranges, which we turned into superb orange juice. A lovely stay, though I have one moan: the beds were so, so, so creaky!
