Impressive and perfect villa for our multi-generational family of 8. Visited for a family wedding and the proximity to Paphos and the airport was ideal - close enough to the action without the stress and city noise! The villa was a great size and the downstairs bedrooms and bathroom perfect for our older guests. We loved the resident cats and the mischievous kittens kept us on our toes with their playful antics! Feeding time was fun and the owners kept us topped up with cat food!! It really made us feel relaxed and at home. If you donât mind a bit of farmyard noise ( cockerel, donkey, bird scarer ) this place is peaceful and perfect, as it is not overlooked and has farmland all around. We absolutely loved it and would definitely visit again if we come back to Cyprus. Thank you so much - we had a ball!!
Die Villa entspricht genau der Darstellung im Internet. Sie liegt inmitten von Feldern und ist gut ausgestattet. Der Pool ist ein sehr schön und kaum einsehbar. Das Meer ist fuĂlĂ€ufig in ca. 10-15 Minuten zu erreichen. Im Garten gab es 3 kleine KĂ€tzchen, die wir sehr gerne versorgt haben. Morgens kann es durch Hundegebell und Hahnengeschrei laut werden, was uns aber nicht weiter gestört hat. Konstantinos und Anna sind wahnsinnig zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Als z.B. das WLAN nicht ging, kam am gleichen Tag der Techniker. Danke fĂŒr diese schöne Zeit auf Zypern.
Had a lovely fortnight here. The hosts were helpful and friendly, meeting us when we arrived and quick to answer questions during the week via WhatsApp. The pool was ideal and well maintained. The bedrooms were fairly comfortable and the kitchen had just enough pots and pens to enable us (9 of us) to self-cater for much of the stay. Resident cats were no problem! Air-conditioning in the bedrooms is an extra cost, payable in cash on arrival, which was definitely worth it in the height of summer. Location is perfect with a car - quiet yet within easy, short drives to the shops, beach, sights, water park etc.
We just arrived home after a 10 night stay at Villa Frene, from the start we had a great time. Anna and Kostas were there to greet us on arrival and show us around the villa and explain anything we needed to know. Throughout our stay we only had one issue with the WiFi, but Anna sorted this within minutes! Villa is exactly as described and pictured in listing and we were not disappointed. We would certainly recommendd a visit here!
Hosts were fantastic and very accommodating especially as we were late on arrival. Also came back to sort us out with air con when we required. Villa is a fabulous size. We were a family of 8 and had plenty of space and seating to suit. The pool area is faultless with plenty of loungers and pool was cleaned 2x per week. Also raftan seating with canopy providing plenty of shade looking onto pool. Water pressure in showers is great with constant hot water. Shower at pool also to rinse off. It is a great location as you are away from the hustle and bustle with Paphos only a 10 min drive and plenty of restaurants, bars and shops within 10mins drive. There are 3 cats that frequent the villa and are very friendly. They did not enter the house or cause any problems. My daughter loved them and the hosts left food to feed them. Teenagers were able to log onto Netflix on the tv in lounge which was a bonus for them at night. A great experience and holiday and would definitely return and recommend Villa Frene
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful villa! Anna and Kostas were fantastic hosts, communication was easy and they made everything seamless from start to finish. The home itself is spacious and perfect for families, with a stunning garden with apricot trees and a large, inviting pool. Itâs located just a short drive from a village and all the restaurants and sights of Paphos. This was the perfect spot for our family getaway, and we would absolutely love to return!
Beautiful villa but some areas need up dating . Definitely need a car/ taxi. Some disturbance at night due to wildlife but you are in a very secluded area . Excellent communication and very helpful
We recently visited in the Easter Holidays with the family. The hosts were fantastic, communication was a pleasure. The Villa was spacious and clean and provided everything we needed. It was peaceful and quiet with no over looking neighbours. Close to the beach and a short drive to paphos. For those who like walking it was a great walk to paphos along the coast line.We will definitely be returning at some point.Highly recommended.
We loved the villa so much. We had three generations, total ten family members, and everyone agreed the home was perfect for us. Itâs just a short drive to restaurants, markets, beach and other activities, and we also enjoyed the walks. The kitchen had everything we needed, having 5 bedrooms was great and 3 bathrooms was a bonus. We only had a couple questions/needs and Anna and Kostas responded and helped right away. Lovely people, and a pretty country-like setting while close in to town.
The villa is stunning, the grounds and pool area are amazing.
However, the inside cleanliness, dated furniture, kitchen utensils, lack of hot water left us very dissapointed.
There was only s pans in the kitchen to cook with, the microwave didn't work, it started up but wouldn't heat up.
One of the downstairs bedrooms had mould on the wall and wouldn't be bale to be slept in. The passegway had plaster hanging of of the wall.
We couldn't get hot water in the mornings as the night before was cold and the switch to overide in the master bedroom didn't appear to do anything.
The curtains in the sitting room had holes in the bottom, the sofa is quite tatty.
This villa could be absolutely amazing if it was updated.
Very nice house off the beaten track, without the hustle and bustle of the city. You can really relax and enjoy your holiday.
With a car everything is relatively close.
Because this is an agricultural area, you have to take into account the possible sounds of the village - dogs barking in the morning, donkeys neighing, roosters, a working irrigation system unit, etc. This is not a disadvantage, it is the charm of the village, but I am writing about it so that you are fully aware when deciding on a villa in such an area.
The hosts are really nice and you can discuss everything with them.
One minor note: it's a pity that the information about the extra paid air conditioning is not more exposed.
We are really happy with this place and recommend it to everyone!!!
Beautiful villa located in the countryside just a short walk to the beach and short drive into Paphos.
All ammenities catered for, large gardens, beautiful pool, very spacious rooms within the villa. Perfect, relaxing retreat.
Costas and Anna are the perfect hosts.. we will definitely miss this hidden gem.
Great villa with a beautiful pool area.
The villa has 2 house cats, the cats are friendly but do want to sit near you on the patio, I am not cat friendly so I didnât like this.
Ants in the kitchen are a problem, on the work tops. This needs addressing.
Whilst we have stayed here we have experienced several power cuts causing the alarm to go off. Sometimes in the middle of the night, Anna the host believes this to be because of the heat. This may have been true but we was losing powder in the villa 3/4 times a day every day. This was a problem.
The rooms was a good size, comfortable, clean. The villa is dated but for the money we paid I found it very good value for money.
I would mention that more toilet rolls & bathroom towels would be beneficial as we run out of toilet rolls and 1 towel per person for a week isnât really good.
Overall we had an amazing stay in the villa.
The price for a 5 bedroomed villa can't be faulted. Lots of garden space and a fantastic pool area. The location means a car is needed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay having two youngsters a teen and four adults, the villa space catered for everyones needs, however....some things do need pointing out.
A few things do need replacing such as the barbeque shelving, it has a big hole in it which I had to repair by wiring a second rack over it. It's also small and cooking for 4 is pushing it a little. The bathrooms need a bit of attention as shower heads are old and the drainage we had to report as whenever you shower, you get a free footbath! The saucepans are old, non-stick coating is peeling off and the bottoms are no longer flat. The air conditioning units are old and quite noisy, but, they do the job...at a price of 5 Euros per room per night, we thought that was incredibly expensive.
As for the location, it's idyllic in one respect as no neighbours close by, no traffic passing.....except for farm vehicles which I'll come to shortly so peace during the daytime is almost guaranteed, however at night it's a completely different story. 5 Euros for a noisy air con unit per night may suit some better than listening to the local dogs barking on and off all night, coupled with the donkey, the cockerel at all hours and the farmers generator for crop spraying/watering drove us mad. Nothing the villa owners can do, but worth knowing.
All said, it's still a budget friendly bargain!
