About this property
Traditional Stone Built Holiday Villa in Walled Courtyard with Private Pool
Privately set within a walled courtyard, this 19th Century (1883) 4 bedroom stone built property has been renovated to a high standard and offers the most traditional Cypriot village holiday that one will find anywhere on the island. The property is situated just 500m from the village centre which now offers a good selection of restaurants and tavernas to suit all tastes, 2 bars (with sky TV) and a shop or 2 for groceries. Famous for its vineyards, the village is surrounded by vines and is renowned for the quality of its grapes. Many of the vines have been in the same family for generations. Two very famous wineries open their doors to visitors, so you can enjoy the winemaker's craft. The village is also home to a donkey sanctuary and a tourist information centre.
Extending to almost 170 square meters, the villa is characterised by stone archways, original staircases, bamboo and wood beamed ceilings, stone floors and grand double wooden doors to most rooms to name just a few. Modern conveniences include fitted kitchen with appliances, chunky leather sofas, Open fireplace, Satellite TV and DVD player, Wi-Fi, en-suite to most bedrooms, 8m x 4m private swimming pool, BBQ, dining tables and chairs for inside and out, air-conditioning and open fire (central heating available for Winter stays).
On entering the driveway, you immediately sense the traditional Cypriot atmosphere within the courtyard. Access to the property is gained by double wooden doors in to a very large and open plan Lounge/Kitchen/Dining area which provides all comforts as well as many seating areas for relaxation and dining.
The Master Bedroom has a large king sized bed with double doors opening out on to the courtyard and swimming pool. It also has an En-Suite with shower over bath. Bedroom 2 next door is the smallest but is still most appealing due to the double sized four poster bed and skylight window. Bedroom 3 is also downstairs and features 2 single sized beds, access out to the courtyard and an En-Suite bathroom. Upstairs is the fourth bedroom with 2 single sized beds and en-suite Shower. Doors open out on to the courtyard and the windows give views to the mountain scenery and distant sea. A quaint and original staircase to the outside of the property leads in and out of this room, to and from the courtyard.
Outside, the courtyard features the swimming pool, parking, a covered seating area, sun loungers and BBQ. The traditional feel is completed by an old water well which sits in the corner. A supply of fresh drinking water is supplied to the property.
A welcome pack is included in the price. A travel cot and highchair can be provided free of charge upon request. Wi-Fi is included in the rental rate.
**The current IPTV system features most UK Sky channels (premium sports, documentaries, movies & music included) as well as many channels in German, Spanish and Russian. It also features a library of Movies and TV Series which is regularly updated.**
LOCAL AREA
Villa Constanteras is situated just 500m (about a five minute walk) from the centre of the village of Kathikas. The village centre offers a good selection of restaurants and tavernas to suit all tastes, two bars (with Sky TV & Wi-Fi) and a good village shop for groceries.
As Kathikas is 600 metres above sea level, it has a good climate in summer a couple of degrees cooler than the coast with very little humidity.
Famous for its vineyards, Kathikas is surrounded by vines and is renowned for the quality of its grapes. Many of the vines have been in the same family for generations. Two very famous wineries open their doors to visitors, so you can enjoy the winemaker's craft.
Kathikas is also home to a donkey sanctuary and a tourist information centre.If you're a bit of an amateur anthropologist, Kathikas is an ideal location in which to observe the traditional Cypriot way of life and to live it yourself.
Kathikas' central location makes it the ideal base from which to explore Polis and Latchi, the Baths of Aphrodite, the Akamas Peninsula and the turtle hatchery at Lara Bay.
From Kathikas you can choose to visit a number of Paphos' best famous beaches.
Coral Bay is a short drive to a fully equipped beach with every type of watersports and diving.
Latchi has a delightful beach, and again a full selection of watersports. You can hire a boat at Latchi to explore the Akamas coastline. Drop anchor when you feel like it and swim or snorkel in the crystal clear blue waters of the Mediterranean Sea.
If you prefer a beach to yourself, try Lara Beach in the Akamas.
Even in the height of the summer its almost deserted.Kathikas retains and continues to re-instate its old world village character whilst encouraging selected new developments. The village square has a small taverna where you can enjoy a cool drink whilst sitting under the trees.
For fishing fans, the nearest reservoirs are Evretou and Mavrokolympos, whilst the nearest golf course is about ten minutes away at the newly refurbished Tsada golf course now known as Minthis Hills.

Review submitted by Kerensa from Rushden, UK (Submitted: 27/04/2025) ''We had a fabulous time but made extra special by having my Mum round the corner. Out of all the places she's lived in, Kathikas is definitely my favourite, lovely place, lovely people and perfect location.
Absolutely perfect villa and had ever kitchen utensil and appliance you would need. The bedrooms were lovely and beds comfortable. Also loved the fact there were blankets in every bedroom cupboard which came in handy to start as it was cold in the evenings. Not that everyone would cook but my Mum came and cooked for us and she wasn't short of any pots and pans! We were only 4, two adults and two teenagers, but more than enough room for 8!
We loved it as away from the busyness of Paphos although my Mum says there are quite a lot of tourists in the Summer so busier then, think April was perfect. Fairly quick and easy to get to everywhere. Went to two Tavernas in the village and they were different to each other but would highly recommend both. Also had fish and chips from Pegia and they were amazing too.
Your service was brilliant, I didn't have to chase and I'm so grateful you let me pay monthly as it made it so much more manageable. Would love to use your services again. The email communication was also so informative, thank you. Theo the owner was lovely and came to see us on our first morning and made sure we were happy. He left supplies in the fridge including wine and beer which was so thoughtful. He then bought us more wine and please pass on our thanks, he does an amazing job. Also his wine is delicious!
It was a fantastic holiday, first time abroad again and back to Cyprus since 2019! Would definitely come back to this villa, just perfect for the 4 of us. Hope to speak again in the near future.''.

House was clean and the management company was very helpful, pool heating would have been nice but everything else was spot on the people in the village were very nice and friendly will definitely go back
The property is characterful and spacious - just as shown in the ad. The showers were all strong and hot. The air con worked well when needed. Lovely being able to sit under the awning by the pool to read, eat, drink, talk whatever. The pool was a welcome relief from the heat. Having up to six cats to make friends with was a bonus! The kitchen was well equipped The location is great - short stroll into the charming (and clean)village with several bars/cafes and a mini market. The host brought us home grown melons and some of his own wine too. Very helpful. All in all, a perfect holiday.
Excellent property excellent location excellent owner can not fault anything, maybe include beach towels as they take up space in luggage.overall excellent holiday thank you.
Just what it says on the tin, absolutely superb villa, we've been in some wonderful villas but this one beats all ,the villa, the village and the people are just fantastic, there are three places we would recommend to eat,tge petradaki Sunday lunch is a must, the pan Asian wonderful curry and yianis restaurant wonderful hospitality in all three, and the villas host theo brilliant
My dream village house, tons of charming details. Kitchen had everything we needed, down to hand juicer for the lemons from the tree in the courtyard, to home made wine provided by the owner. Pool was beautiful but it was too cold to think about using it. I thought the mattresses and pillows could use an upgrade.The village was so sweet and picturesque. It has a small cultural museum and a bird and plant museum. There is a tavern, a snack bar and a pizza place all within easy walking distance of the house as is the well stocked minimart. Plus a donkey farm nearby. A small admission fee and 3 euros for a bag of carobs to feed the eager donkies

Lovely villa in a lovely village
I would like to say that the villa was very nice with everything that you would need for a holiday let and the welcome pack was superb!, the location was lovely as were the bars and restaurants within the village, the food was also superb not having one poor meal all holiday. The owner Theo was a lovely man who introduced himself to us and didn't interfere with us at all just popped in to see if everything was ok and to see if we needed anything. We are lucky enough to be able to have a few holidays a year and will be back to Cyprus soon.
Thank you for your excellent service over the past few months and we hope to be booking another villa with you soon
Agentur und local Support war super!
Sehr ruhige Gegend, gemütlich, Aussenbereich sehr grosszügig.
Verschiedene Gaststätten und Einkaufsmöglichkeit fussläufig erreichbar.
Traumhafte Unterkunft und sehr herzlicher Vermieter
Die Bilder zeigen dieses traumhafte Haus so schön wie es ist. Die Lage in Kathikas ist hervorragend und idealer Ausgangspunkt für Touren in alle Richtungen, wenn man einen Wagen hat. Man kann die kulinarische Vielfalt des Ortes und auch Wanderungen um den Ort auch sehr gut mal ohne Auto genießen. Und der Vermieter ist fantastisch. Immer herzlich, hilfsbereit und mit vielen Tipps und persönlichen Aufmerksamkeiten da. Allerbesten Dank Theo.
Having visited Kathikas on previous trips to Cyprus, we had decided that we would definitely like to stay in the village, as has plenty of lovely places to eat and drink, so friendly and welcoming. The Villa was exactly as advertised, so comfortable, plenty of space inside and out, and a fabulous sized pool. We had 3 adults and one teenager, all were happy with it. Would return in a heartbeat.
Great place for a large family.
Villa had we everything needed. Very well equipped.
Lovely garden and pool, although not heated so you need to be brave.
Gorgeous characterful villa in perfect Cypriot village. Lots of excellent tavernas to choose from all within a 5 minute walk. We arrived to find a lovely welcome pack which was perfect as we arrived late in the evening including delicious wine. Theo checked if we needed anything and even brought more wine! A perfect holiday.
It was excellent just what we needed loads of space and spotlessly clean. We love walking etc, weather was very hot so we headed for the lovely forests in the morning and came back to cool off by the large and enticing pool. Cyprus was very Covid safe - the whole plane was chosen to be tested on arrival, if was very efficient - we were out before our luggage landed on the carousel! Tested at 14.00 we got all clear text that night at our villa at 22.00! and of course the friendly people and lovely food. Theo our host was a new Dad just a week before our arrival but still took time to care for us and deliver wine and grapes. A special word for Steven in "letsrentonline" - nothing was to much trouble - an excellent ambassador for Cyprus! Its the warm heart of the Med! We will be back for the walks, nature, food and people - hopefully next Spring!

Perfect base for a sunny autumn half term with three generations. The photos don’t do it justice. Everything we needed was provided, including a very generous selection of food, more than enough for all of us.
Easy reach of Akamas peninsula and beaches.
Many thanks to Theo and his family for making us feel so welcome.
The house is ideal for families and people who want to escape from the noise of tourist areas! The village of Kathikas is located on the hills and has a perfect climate for the summer, so that you dont get “fried” like when you are in Pafos. The house is clean and has everything that you need inside. Ideal for families. The host was always prepare to help us. We were 2 families with small children and we all enjoyed our stay and totally enjoyed our time! It was an excellent choice and we can recommend it for anyone who is seeking to have vacations in Pafos and Cyprus!
Wir waren im Oktober zwei Wochen lang mit 2 Familien (4 Erwachsene und 4 kleine Kinder ) in der Villa.
Am Ankunftstag war der Kühlschrank gut gefüllt mit Saft, Milch, Brot, Wurst, Käse und Marmelade. Und auch Wein und Schnaps waren hinterlegt, so dass der Anreise- und Folgetag sehr entspannt verliefen. Das haben wir in dieser Form noch nie erlebt!
Am nächsten Morgen kam dann auch schon der Vermieter vorbei und erkundigte sich nach dem Wohlbefinden.
Theo ist sehr gastfreundlich und offen. Vielen Dank für die tollen Einblicke bei der Arbeit im Weinberg, den Wein, das sensationelle Essen von deiner Mutter sowie die Einladung zum diesjährigen Schnaps brennen. Das war einfach nur super!
Die Villa ist in bester dörflicher Lage gelegen in einem toll gepflegten Örtchen mit sehr schönen Tavernen. Es sind nur wenige Touristen da, so dass man die Ursprünglichkeit des Ortes sehr genießen kann.
Die Villa entspricht exakt der Beschreibung und ist einfach nur toll und authentisch eingerichtet.
Die Umgebung bietet nördlich und südlich tolle Strände und Schwimmmöglichkeiten, auch für kleinere Kinder.
Viele Ausflugsziele sind mit überschaubaren Fahrzeiten gut erreichbar.
Wir werden auf alle Fälle wiederkommen!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful villa. It was an easy drive from Paphos airport and the villa was exactly as described and spotlessly clean on our arrival. We were a party of 8 and the villa accommodated us all perfectly. A lovely welcome pack was in the fridge so shopping could be left until after breakfast. Theo welcomed us and gave us plenty of information and welcomed us with his homemade wine which was lovely ( and even arrived a few days later with more!). The village itself is beautiful and the local people were all very friendly. There were a few tavernas within a 5 minute walk and even a gin bar. The food was great in all of them. It was a great week in rural Cyprus , away from the hustle and bustle of the bigger resorts but a short car drive to the bigger resorts if that's what you are looking for. We found the location just perfect. We enjoyed a walk to the local winery, the donkey sanctuary and a 20minute drive to Latchi where we hired a boat for the day and explored the beautiful coastline. We will definitely return to Villa Constanteras one day and recommend it to friends and family.

echte Erholung in einem tollen Haus
schon vor der Reise viele nützliche Hinweise und immer prompte Antworten auf alle Fragen.
Das Haus entspricht vollkommen den Beschreibungen und den Bilder - sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. Bei unserer Anreise hatte der Eigentümer den Kühlschrank mit einigen Lebensmitteln bestückt - genug für ein ausreichendes Frühstück und einige Flaschen Wen waren auch zur Begrüßung da - das ist mehr als man erwarten kann.
Bei Fragen/Problemen (gab es kaum) stand der Vermieter jederzeit zur Verfügung und hat sich gekümmert.
Der Ort hat eine Vielzahl von guten Tavernen und ist für Touren gut gelegen. Zum Strand benötigt man ca 25 Minuten.
Pool war ausreichen groß für 4 Erwachsene und 3 Kinder
Ales sehr sauber und in einem guten Zustand.
haus und Ort können wir zu 100% Empfehlen!!!
Danke für einen entspannten Urlaub in einer tollen Atmosphäre
Können wir
