Cyprus

The Roost Relaxation Retreat

We spent three weeks at The Roost in June/July and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Nikki and Get were wonderful hosts. Three weeks passed in a flash, I think in future we may need to further extend out stay! We stayed in The Lime Room with beautiful views of the pool and mountains beyond. It provided all our needs with plenty of space for our clothes.

Every morning we put the world to right with Nikki and Gez whilst having breakfast on the outside terrace. We enjoyed the continental breakfast and didnt feel the need for a cooked one, which is also available for a small additional charge. After breakfast we lazed by the large pool which is kept immaculately clean and then after a quick shower we were ready to go out. Biggest decision of the day was down to the coast or up in the mountains usually we chose the latter. Polemi village was walking distance away and most evenings we went to the Olive Tree or Kokkinos and enjoyed good meals in both. One evening we went with Nikki and Gez to a taverna in Letymbou which was very enjoyable in terms of food and company.

We left feeling we had made good friends in Nikki and Gez and we will definitely be returning to The Roost. We have recommended it to both friends and family.

The roost villa accommodation is perfectly situated in the quiet Polemi hills just 25 minutes drive away from the hustle and bustle of Paphos, closer to the slightly cooler and more comfortable Troodos mountains.
The location makes it a perfect base for trekking, bird watching, exploring the mountains or Paphos depending on the day mood.
It is also well equipped with all the comforts and necessities found at home so one can just stay in and enjoy the views next to the good sized pool.
Nikki and Gez are the friendliest hosts and go out of their way to help in any way possible. They even met us at the end of the motorway to guide us to the villa at 10pm.
We would not hesitate to recommend this accommodation to anyone.

Room Tip: The first floor rooms are bigger with better views.

I stayed with Nikki and Gez in July last year and liked it so much I went back in October!!!
The Roost is situated high in mountains in the most beautiful location overlooking the stunning surrounding countryside, is just a mile from Polemi which has lovely restaurants, 30 mins from Coral Bay which, apart from having the best Dive Center, Marine Divers, boasts a lovely beach, cracking bars and eateries and Nikki and Gez would do anything to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible.
The Roost is clean, tidy, modern and very quiet, all things that I want from a holiday and ideally placed for you to visit Cyprus.

As I sit here and write this review, the reflection of the pool sparkles on the back wall of The Roost which is most accurately described as a relaxation retreat

The only thing that accompanies the silence here is the tweet, croak, chirp and buzz of the wildlife that lives in the vicinity, this tranquility is only broken by the occasional segue of a vehicle wending its way along the country road nearby. The view is beautiful and at times inspiring.

With only a twenty minutes or so drive to the hub of touristy Paphos this location is really perfect for anyone who wants the balance of relaxation and the Cyprus weather with the facilities of mainstream tourism not too far away.

I came here for three things in the main, to scuba dive with the brilliant Marine Divers in Coral Bay, to write and to relax, for all three it has turned out to be perfect.

Your hosts here Nikki and Jez will look after you as much or as little as you need, the facilities are just great with a nice sized crystal clean pool, jacuzzi and always piping hot water for bath or shower. 

The rooms are well equipped with a fridge, stocked with reasonably priced beverages and all the usual things you would expect in an excellent B&B

As someone who relies on WIFI as I travel I found the connection here reliable and fast enough for all of my needs, it worked in my room and outside around the pool which is where I am writing this.

There are also great facilities to throw some of your favourite food on the supplied barbecue and relax around the pool or dining area outside with a cool glass of your favourite tipple.

So for me, it is 5 stars, but book quick because this place is only caters for a few and is very exclusive.

Room Tip: Book in advance to reserve, there are only a few rooms so this is a very exclusive place

7 nights and 7 days of quiet, relax staying in contact with cyprus people. Gez and Nikki are very nice, and helpful. The B&B is confortable and permits to visit the west coast of Cyprus thanks to its favourable location. Gez and Nikki are very nice and they suggested us some typical restaurants situated in Polemi and in the nearest villages."The Roost" is ideal for a couple or a family with childrens: in the garden there is a swimming pool to relax yourself after a day around or on the beach!! Thanks to "The Roost", Gez e Nikki and to Cyprus places!! Anna Maria and Francesco (Italy)
