THE VILLAS

There are spectacular views of the sea or mountains from all rooms, the first floor galleried landing, balconies and private terraces. The villas are beautifully furnished throughout, have an open plan layout, extensive marble flooring, modern appliances and air-conditioning in the bedrooms and living area. Each provide a luxurious setting from which to enjoy the Cyprus sun and scenery. North Cyprus currency is the Turkish Lira.

BELLAPAIS
A few kilometres east of Kyrenia lies the village of Bellapais, made famous by Lawrence Durrell in his book "Bitter Lemons of Cyprus". The village is in the foothills of the Five Finger mountains, on a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean, and affords spectacular views. It is dominated by Bellapais Abbey, The building is regarded as a masterpiece of Gothic art, and the most beautiful Gothic building in the Near East.
KYRENIA
Kyrenia, with its picturesque harbour and adjacent castle, is called the “Jewel of Cyprus” and is beautiful! The town was probably founded circa tenth century BC. Its position on the north coast made it the ideal place to develop a harbour, and being only forty miles from the Turkish mainland it was perfectly situated on the trade route.
