Villa Panorama

Villa Panorama certainly lives up to its name! Wow! It sits majestically in the Paphos-Peyai Hills next to the gorgeous Pikni Pine Forest with the most phenomenal views down to the sweeping coastline that stretches from Paphos to the rugged beauty of the Sea Caves. It is a fantastic choice for large groups of family or friends with six bedrooms and a couple of mezzanine levels ideal for children. This dreamy villa sits just below its sister villa which we also feature so if you have more than fifteen guests you may also want to take a look at Villa Oceania as well. With magnificent views from almost every angle of the property, a truly peaceful location and fantastic entertainment spaces, the villa offers a totally relaxing holiday yet is within easy reach of the lively entertainment of Paphos and the island's mesmerising beaches.

This gorgeous rural location is abundant in flora, fauna and native trees such as juniper and terebinths. Just a short drive down the mountainside brings you to the village of Peyia with its friendly traditional tavernas, restaurants, bars cafes and shops. Also close by is the village of Kathikas where there are some charming eateries. The Peyia Hills are inland from the fabulous Coral Bay and roughly seven and a half miles north of Paphos. Paphos Old Town is a recognised site of historic and archaeological importance as the Ancient Greeks believed Aphrodite rose from the sea at Paphos. The entire town is on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List and is wonderful for an evening stroll and dinner.

The design of Villa Panorama makes the most of its exclusive, unique position. With huge picture windows and plenty of balconies and terraces, almost every room enjoys a fabulous view. The property is spread out with a main house, a wing and an annexe. The main house enjoys a huge open plan living space with lots of character including beams, exposed stone walls, a vaulted ceiling in the dining area and lots of warm colour. A giant modern corner sofa sits in the living area sprinkled with scatter cushions and the dining area looks out to the pool area and down to the sea. There is an ornamental fireplace, a large flatscreen television, DVD player and a music system. The kitchen is perfect for a self-catering stay with excellent stainless steel appliances, granite work surfaces and there is a separate utility room for laundry. The breakfast bar makes it a sociable space. You can open a chilled bottle of wine and keep the chefs in your group company.

The six bedrooms are spread throughout the villa. There are two on the first floor of the main building including the master suite with its spacious ensuite bathroom and lengthy balcony where you can enjoy your morning cup of coffee and the spectacular vistas. The second room is a delightful twin with an ensuite shower room and access to the balcony. The ground floor of the main wing enjoys two twin bedrooms and a family bathroom. One of these twin rooms offers a mezzanine level with two single beds which are ideal for children. The two-storey annex sleeps five guests but it also offers an open plan living area with comfy seating, a compact kitchen and a small dining table for four. A wooden staircase leads to a mezzanine sleeping area with two single beds. This is a cosy space with a sloping ceiling. On the ground floor of the annex is a double room which has access to a family bathroom. There is also a simple small single bedroom with an ensuite shower room that is tucked behind the living space that can be used for an extra guest.

Villa Panorama enjoys delightful landscaped gardens and numerous terraces. It boasts a large uniquely shaped swimming pool with a bridge over it, a children's pool, a jacuzzi which can be heated for an extra cost, a wonderful shaded alfresco dining space and an outdoor kitchen and barbecue area, perfect for your barbecue masters to prepare a feast that can be enjoyed while you watch the sun go down. The gardens are very mature with towering trees, lawns and beautifully planted borders.

Location

Villa Panorama enjoys a wonderful rural location in the Peyai Hills above Coral Bay and Paphos. The views are astounding across the hillside and towards the coastline. Just below the villa is the village of Peyai, a charming place with a good selection of shops, restaurants and cafes.

Coral Bay is a lively coastal town with rustic tavernas, friendly bars and a fabulous Blue Flag sandy beach. The beach is backed by limestone cliffs and the turquoise waters are very inviting. There are shuttle buses that run from Coral Bay to the peaceful Potima Bay. Fifteen minutes drive south along the coast and twenty minutes directly from the villa is Paphos. It is a fascinating place with something for everyone. History lovers will enjoy discovering the mosaics that date back 2000 years at the Kato Paphos Archeological Park and the Tomb of the Kings is marvellous. Paphos Castle is a Byzantine building right on the water. The Paphos Archeological Museum is very interesting with artefacts excavated from fifteen sites that tell the story of the island from the Neolithic age. In the evenings, the Old Town comes alive with alfresco dining, buzzy bars and lots of tourists wandering down Agiou Antoniou Street. The market is wonderful and great for picking up little gifts. Paphos' modern harbour is packed with bars and restaurants. You might like to stop at Aphrodite's Rock Brewing Company. The west side of the island has been brewing beer for thousands of years. This craft pub and microbrewery was the first on the island using English brewing traditions to create authentic artisan ales. A tour is available on weekdays.

Pissouri Village and Beach enjoy unique Cypriot character. During the summer the village hosts a ‘Cyprus night' in the delightful traffic free village square with dancing and music. The views from Pissouri Village are spectacular. It is possible to see the shore line all the way to Limassol and to the north you can see the magnificent Troodos range, including Mount Olympus, the highest mountain on the island.

Lara Beach is within easy reach of Villa Panorama. You will discover soft, golden sand and crystal clear waters though you may need to rent a 4 by 4 car to reach the beach. It is the breeding ground of the endangered Green turtle and Hawk's Bill turtle. There are three official nature trails through the Akamas peninsula, the Adonis, Aphrodite and Smigies trails. They are interwoven with rocks, gorges and valleys and offer stunning views of the curved coastline, cliffs and boulders.

You could also head up to Polis and its neighbouring harbour village Latchi on Chrysohous Bay. Latchi boasts a string of fine fish restaurants where you will dine in style with panoramic sea views. The Baths of Aphrodite can be found near Latchi. You will discover a natural cavern that features a caved shallow pool surrounded by ferns and a large fig tree. A natural spring supplies the pool water and according to myth, Aphrodite would bathe in the pool and it is where she met her great love, Adonis. The waters are rumoured to hold special rejuvenating powers.

If you decide to head to the Troodos Mountains for a day to escape the heat, in the foothills you can visit the beautiful 12th century Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery. It contains a museum celebrating Byzantine art and there is a beautiful sculpture of the Virgin Mary crafted from pure silver. The monastery enjoys sensational views from the Paphos Forest, gazing out over hillsides covered in cedar and cypress trees. Within the cool forests of the Troodos mountains you will discover some spectacular churches. Ten have been awarded World Heritage Status in recognition of their incredibly detailed and vibrant Byzantine frescoes.
