About the home
*** New for 2012 - garden patio extended with wooden decking and new wicker garden furniture ***
"One of the best-located villas on the development". New for us in 2012 is Villa Swalletta - another wonderfully furnished 3-bed holiday home tucked away on the very edge of the St Christopher’s development with superb views of the mountains, village and those stunning sunsets.
Villa Swalletta is a modern 3-bedroom villa (sleeps 6-8 as it has an additional sofa-bed) with its own private pool and superb views across the rolling hills of Anafotida and the surrounding area. No expense has been spared on the stylish furniture and interiors to make sure you have all the luxuries you need for an enjoyable stay.
Each of the 3 bedrooms at Villa Swalletta has its own en-suite shower room or en-suite bathroom. We have a double room on the ground floor. The other 2 bedrooms are upstairs. A twin room located at the front of the property and the master bedroom looking out over the back towards the hills and countryside. Here you can sit on the balcony listening to the birds first thing in the morning whilst enjoying your coffee waiting for the rest of the family to surface!
Villa Swalletta is one of a selection of superb villas we can offer you on St Christopher's Village with the best views on the development. If you are a large family or part of a wedding group - we have a number of villas immediately next door to each other.
Experience the traditional Cyprus at Villa Swalletta. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, olive groves, rolling hills, valleys and traditional Cypriot villages, away from the noisy, hustle and bustle of the busy tourist areas.

The Larnaca region
Larnaca enjoys a Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine year round. Long dry summers and mild winters are separated by short autumn and spring seasons. Summer is a time of high temperatures with cloudless skies, but the sea breeze creates a pleasant atmosphere in the coastal areas. Winters are mild, with some rain and snow on Troodos Mountains where you can hire skis and go skiing (see below).
Nestled on the shores of Larnaka Bay, you will find Larnaca town. Once one of the Mediterranean's main trade centres, the city owed much of its wealth during ancient times to the extensive salt-lakes which can be found a couple of miles from the city centre. Today, Larnaca can count itself amongst the most popular destinations in Cyprus, a fact which is reflected by the current expansion of the town's international airport, the forthcoming construction of the new Larnaca Golf and Country Club and even plans for a new marina during the next few years.
The Anafotida area
Cyprus is a wonderful island of contrasts. Where else could you ski in the morning and then be sunning yourself by the pool in the afternoon!!!!???
SKIING - Skiing is usually available in the winter months from the beginning of January to the end of March. There are 5 slopes and 4 lifts (Hera, Aphrodite, Hermes and Zeus) and runs vary in ability for beginners through to advanced and they even offer routes for cross country skiers. You can hire equipment at the Cyprus Ski Club “ski shop”. Get there early though, as, on a busy weekend, the best equipment goes very fast!
TROODOS MOUNTAINS - Located in the heart of Cyprus, the locals have christened the mountains a “Walker's Paradise” due to the vast array of fabulous trails. But there’s no shortage of sporting activities for the energetic amongst you from skiing in the winter to paragliding, mountain bike riding, hiking, running and even rock climbing! There's also a multitude of sightseeing excursions in the Troodos Mountains. Take your pick from Byzantine Cypriot churches to the wine producing villages on the southern Troodos hills. Visit the Venetian Bridges near Tres Elias village or the village of Fini where you can buy some local handmade pottery. Or go and see the monks at the Kykkos Monastery.
ANAFOTIDA - the villa is only 200-300m from Anafotida, a traditional Cypriot village located in the Larnaca District of Cyprus, west of Larnaca. The village is mainly agricultural, with tomatoes being a dominant crop. The village centre is small, but there are 4 churches, 4 cafés (1 is a restaurant), a butcher, a small post office/shop, a bank (no ATM though), a barber shop, a small hairdresser’s and a garage.
ANGLISIDES - is about 3km from Anafotida and has numerous cafés, 2 banks with ATMs, a lovely bakers and 2 small garden centres. It also has 2 supermarkets with good supplies to save you going in to Larnaca.
MAZOTOS - located about twelve miles south-west of Larnaca town and 5 mins from the villa, is a traditional Cypriot village, again, primarily of agricultural nature with an abundance of Olive groves to be found in the surrounding area. Whist the village proper is somewhat set back from the coast, a few restaurants and even the Camel Park - a very popular local tourist attraction (great for adults and kids alike), can be found closer to the seafront.
The beach at Mazotos is only 5-10 minutes away where you'll see many people walking along the scenic walkway, fishing or sunbathing. There is also a fantastic fish restaurant here, tucked away down a little lane off the main road, right on the beach called "ACROYIALLI". It has a play area for the children and also sells chicken and other non-fish dishes.
If you’re looking for something a little livelier than Anafotida, Anglisides and Mazotos, then Larnaca, with its vibrant nightlife, is only a 15-20 minute drive away. Alternatively, you could go in to Limassol, which is slightly further along the coast in the opposite direction (approx 30 mins away). As with Larnaca, Limassol has a very varied and vibrant night-life being a popular tourist resort for many years.
Agia Napa, Protaras and Pernera are about a 40 minute drive along the A3 motorway from the villa. Here you'll find a multitude of attractions, beaches, bars, discos and restaurants. At Agia Napa you can also enjoy the fantastic Water Word Waterpark - the largest themed water park in Europe (it really is worth a trip - we have been there many times). In our 30-page information pack, we give you a wide selection of ideas for your holiday including tourist attractions, restaurants, bars, entertainment, beaches etc.
There is also a wide selection of tourist brochures and books in the villa for you to use during your stay and we give you lots of other ideas in our complimentary information pack sent to every booking.

Guestbook for Villa Swalletta
We had a great stay in Villa Swalletta. People always say in these references that places were like a home from home - well, they obviously live better at home than I do, because the villa is much nicer than my place! It's got everything you need; it's clean, modern, cool and spacious, and of course the private pool is a real plus - we had to drag the kids out kicking and screaming. No queuing for the bathroom in the morning either, with the ensuites and the separate bathroom. You can do your 'basics' shopping in the village, just a stroll away, and then there are perfectly adequate supermarkets within easy driving distance. The village also boasts a brilliant bar/restaurant/cafe: if you smile and are friendly, and mime your desire to eat, you may well find that the food just keeps on coming. You won't necessarily know what's on the menu, but it's all lovely anyway, so just go with the flow. The terrace is perfect for doing that Mediterranean thing of eating outdoors and then lingering over a bottle of red as the sun goes down. It's quiet too, because the villa is down in one corner of the complex. A pre-breakfast stroll through the orange groves can be very pleasant and there are any number of beaches to explore without having to drive all day. Cyprus has loads to offer by way of scenery, history, shopping and beaches. We just scratched the surface and so will be going back later this year. I can't imagine that there are many better places than Villa Swalletta to use as a base, so our booking is in. Gareth, friends and family

Great holiday - certainly didn't expect to be spending so much time outside in a swimming costume in late October! Loved the location - really peaceful and good for walks. Feel completely relaxed. Irene & family, October 2011
