We  stayed at Villa Casiobury for two weeks and all five of us in the group agreed that our holiday was absolutely brilliant . Mike and Lynn were excellent hosts and dealt with any queries, whether transfers from the airport, places to eat or sights to see in the most prompt and informative manner. The villa is in a superb location with views over a deep blue sea or of marvellous sunsets.Those on the ground floor can emerge from their room to find the pool three or four paces away across the terrace.The villa has all the facilities any size of group up to 8 people could wish for-there were five of us- and there is ample room for people to spend time quietly/ alone so that you are not on top of each other all the time.
Esentepe is a small village  but a great base to discover Northern Cyprus, which is less commercialised than the Greek part.There are bars and restaurants, most of which we visited at some stage- sunset at Windy Hill a must, as is a trip to the north eastern tip of the island-about one and a half hours- to see the sanctuary for wild donkeys and a beach which is the equivalent of any in New Zealand. The drive back along the coast with the sun setting was every bit as good as Big Sur. Kyrenia, Salamis, I could go on. Dont delay, book today!
A brilliant base for a brilliant holiday. Thanks once more to Mike and Lynn

What words could you describe this amazing property breathtaking, stunning, beautiful, perfect, we could go on! We spent most of our time relaxing at the villa enjoying the facilities that included the pool, BBQ, terraces, stunning views and the gorgeous weather. However, we can highly recommend taking a walk into the village and eating at Remzis and having a few drinks in the sunshine in Tumba. We took a trip to Kantara castle where the kids enjoyed pretending to be knights and princesses in there own castle. Ours was only a short break but we will be coming back to visit, Kyrenia, Alagadi beach, Morphou bay and to reach the tip of the pan handle. 
Mike and Lyn, we can only thank you enough for allowing us to experience your beautiful villa and the setting in which it is in.
See you very soon :)

14th to 21st August 
Mike and Lyn were so welcoming and helpful organizing the transfer from the airport to the villa and hiring a car for us, which I would recommend as it makes the transfer stress free. 
We have been to several villas through villarenters over the years, Casiobury Villa is by far the best we have been to. The pictures on the site do not do justice to how beautiful the villa is and it wonderful views over the Med, our son proposed to his partner by the pool with the sun setting over the Med and she said yes. It is a very romantic setting. It is hard to add to the previous review we agree with everything that was said but if you look at all of the reviews we are all saying the same, so why not book two weeks here to experience the joys we have all had!
Eating out is so cheap, how holidays abroad used to be before the Euro-zone. The information about the surrounding area was very helpful.
CANT RECOMMEND THIS VILLA ENOUGH A1+++++!!!!! FAULTLESS SERVICE, THANK YOU MIKE AND LYN. Richard, Jo Daniel, Hannah Rory and Lucie UK.

Have just returned from a superb 2 weeks at Villa Casiobury and I highly recommend it.

The pool terrace is lovely, superb ocean views and lots of lovely shady places to sit especially the beautiful Bougainvillea covered terrace at the back of the house.  There is a lovely feeling of tranquillity there which allowed us all to completely switch off and become far too lazy and relaxed.  We spent most of the time just hanging around the villa, winding down.

The pool is a good size and well looked after.  Mike and Lyn were superb hosts - always on hand and happy to help when needed but equally not in your face.

The house itself is comfortable and very well equipped
Northern Cyprus is very beautiful and, for now at least, not over developed.  The locals are very friendly, lots of lovely mountain and coastal scenery as well as a fair smattering of historic buildings

We have just returned from Villa Casiobury after a weeks stay ending sadly yesterday the 15th October.
It was such a beautiful villa and was accurately described in every way. I unfortunately had a back problem that escalated literally the day before we flew out, after visiting our local hospital A and E department and being prescribed some excellent pain killers we made the decision to continue with are holiday .It was a risk as i could barely stand up ! 
It was the best  decision i could have made as the villa was so perfect for relaxing in , everything was catered for , beautifully maintained , extremely comfortable, clean and i felt so much better in such a short space of time, `
The owners were such lovely warm people, they really seemed to care and we were made to feel like nothing was a problem. 
The beds are comfortable the rooms all had lovely views and we both felt we were in heaven for a week. Completely spoilt for choice as to where to sit and relax it was hard to leave the property to venture out because it was so lovely.
Great for families , couples or groups of friends as there was so much space.
We did however go out and met lots of friendly people in the local area and beyond.Meals were delicious and generous and reasonably priced.The pool was very clean  and so relaxing so too were the many loungers .Although there are villas near by we felt we had seclusion and privacy, very quiet and such a romantic setting.
We ate our breakfast outside and thoroughly enjoyed admiring the  views from all angles of the stunning outside areas.
The villa is very well equipped the showers were great , air conditioning kept us very comfortable. The furniture tasteful and comfortable.
We met up with the owners on one of our outings and they were so very warm and friendly.
We highly recommend this villa to anyone we felt completely relaxed and refreshed after our stay and we very much hope to return another time.
Once again we felt the owners had truly thought of everything and we had a fabulous  week, we cannot  emphasise this enough.
Could say more but suffice to say you will not be disappointed should you choose to stay at this wonderful villa.
A huge thank you to Mike and Lyn for letting us chill out in your gorgeous home!

This was our second stay in the villa (Sept 13) and was every bit as good as our first visit.  Mike and Lyn proved once again to be fantastic hosts with nothing being too much trouble for them.  We are getting married in Cyprus in a couple of years and they even put us in touch with people who gave us some great information and advice.
Northern Cyprus remains excellent value for money, check out exchange rates in Kyrenia before you come out as they were brilliant and much better than if wed changed sterling in the UK before going on holiday.  A very relaxing time was had by all and we didnt want to leave.  Theres always loads to do if you choose to get out and about, visit the Karpaz beach if you can as its paradise!  In summary - a brilliant villa with wonderful hosts dont shop around for other villas just choose this one and you wont be disappointed!   Andy, Sara, Jenny and Dave, UK

We stayed here (party of 4) for 10 nights and can honestly say its the best holiday weve ever had in the best villa weve ever stayed in!  The villa and its location was simply breathtaking.  It was lovely to have different areas to use and almost everything you could think of was provided equipment wise.  The beds were extremely comfortable and the pool was a welcome relief from the hot sun!  The pool area has been re-tiled so it felt very secure under foot even when wet. Although in a small estate, the villas enviable position gave lovely views over the mediterranean and had good privacy.  Try using the sun loungers at night to look up and see the shooting stars!  The village was quaint and traditional with friendly, helpful locals.  Kyrenia was only a short drive away for larger shops, supermarkets (great value) and restaurants.  Mike and Lyn were fabulous hosts and really cared about our stay and their attention to detail was second to none.  Overall our expectations were exceeded and we definitely recommend this villa to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday with spectacular views - a perfect place to unwind.

We stayed for 2 weeks (30th July-13th August 2011).  The villa was immaculate and Mike and Lynn couldnt have been more helpful and welcoming.  They also arranged for the car hire and collection from Larnaca which all went very smoothly.  Northern Cyprus was a most interesting place to explore but we also enjoyed the friendly village of Esentepe and the facilities on offer there - restaurants, cafe, shops, backgammon!  The villa is on the outskirts of the village, so just a short walk into the centre.  Fabulous views from Casiobury, and the pool was a god-send as the temperatures were around 40C.

 From Grange Over Sands, United Kingdom

A beautiful house with amazing views in a wonderfully tranquil setting. The house was very clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. Thank you.

 From London

We were a party of four and stayed in the villa late Sept/early Oct 2011.  Mike and Lyn, the owners were extremely helpful and arranged the transfers and car hire prior to the holiday and everything went like clockwork.   The villa itself was absolutely stunning and spotless, absolutely everything that you needed for a perfect holiday.  The pool was cleaned regularly and the views were stunning.  It was extremely peaceful (which is what we wanted) and the weather was really hot.  The village is within a short walk and has everything that you need, including a bank, comprehensive supermarket that sells everything and a variety of shops. We had a car for 4 days to explore and visit the areas of historic interest and the larger towns for some clothes and shoe shopping for the ladies!!!  All in all, a perfect holiday that couldnt be faulted with lots of credit to Mike and Lyn for maintaining the fabulous villa and being perfect hosts.
