Photos
The Limassol region
Limassol is Cyprus' largest seaside resort. The Troodos mountains to the north act as a magnificent backdrop to the city that spreads for ten miles along the coast. It is in these mountains that most of the grapes are grown and indeed since the Middle Ages when the Crusaders held Cyprus under Richard the Lionheart, Limassol has been known to traders for its wine and sugar cane. Now, this second largest city of Cyprus, with a population of 135,000 is the centre of its wine-making industry, and an important commercial and tourist centre.
Limassol has a wide seafront promenade and bustling little shopping streets in the old town. There are many beaches to choose from and a large selection of cafes and restaurants. Unlike some other areas in Cyprus, Limassol is a year-round tourist destination. It has an active and vibrant nightlife catering mostly to the young, hip crowd, but really with a smattering of “something for everyone”. Limassol stages some of the Island s best-known festivals.
The Finikaria area
Finikaria village has a population of approximately 300 and dates back to medieval times. Today there is a general purpose store and taverna in the centre of the village. Both are approximately 5 minutes walk from Elia house. The taverna provides cooked breakfasts, light meals and a full mezze on Friday evenings. More general information on the village is available at: www.finikaria.org/english/index.shtm.
Finikaria village and its surrounds are great for hiking, trail riding and nature lovers, with miles of trails, paths and unspoiled scenery. It is a wonderful place to relax away from the bustle of the tourist areas and busy beaches and provides easy access to more remote (and also popular) mountain villages as well as to local historic sites of interest including Limassol and Kolossi castles and ancient Amathus and Kourion.
A must do for families in the summer is the nearby Fasouri Watermania Waterpark, which in 2007 was awarded Europe’s Leading Waterpark Attraction by the World Travel Awards. There are many other family attractions nearby including a wide variety of beaches and watersports, horse riding, go-karting, quad bike safaris, ice-skating, paintballing and golf among many others.

I would like to say thank you for the wonderful house. This is our 5th time in Cyprus and this holidays are the best due to the great villa. We like the house very much as well as our friends who were with us. I would recommend the house to my friends and clients (I have travel agency in Saint-Petersburg). |

It was 7 of us in our mid 20s early 30s (we actually went there for a 30th birthday celebration) - 2 of us are in hospitality and we could not find anything to fault. If you look for a home away from... more |
Guestbook for Elia House
We had the most fantastic time in the wonderful house. It was so well equipped and being big cooking fans it was great to find the kitchen had all we needed in it. Depending on availability in June next year we are thinking of taking another week.
English Family of 2. Date of Stay: September 2011.
We had a wonderful holiday in your lovely house and would certainly recommend your villa and the service we received to everyone we know. We really did not have to worry about anything and the views were quite beautiful, a lovely part of Cyprus and so quiet and peaceful, yet so close to the centre of town. We may be back next year if we are able to organise it with the family.
English Family of 6 (1 child). Date of Stay: 3 weeks, August 2011.
We had a fabulous time at your villa and really enjoyed our time in Cyprus. It was made more special for me being able to take the kids for walks around Finikaria, to all the places I used go when I was a teenager. Thank you for all your recommendations for good restaurants as well. It was a great help. We enjoyed it so much that we want to book it again next year.

We had a wonderful week on Cyprus islands, but Elia House made it perfect. A fantastic house, best equipped and a paradisiacal garden. The kids (10y and 12y) and our teenager (18y) enjoyed very much the great pool with waterfall and the opportunities to play table-tennis and to jump on the trampoline. Elia House is located in a small and quite village, but very close to Limassol. Best location to start sightseeing tours to a lot of interesting places (Koúrion, Pétra tou Romiou, Kolóssi, Páfos, Choirokitá, Léfkara .....). Many thanks to the owners Giselle & Patrick for their perfect preparation as well for their references in advance before we started our holidays. This was a really good support, as this was our 1st stay on Cyprus island. It's a great pity, that we have to leave Cyprus only after 1 week - it was definitely too short, but we will come back to Cyprus and of course to Elia House. We can fully recommend this beautiful and lovely location.

We had a wonderful week in your perfekt house........many thanks again. The pool was so phantastic for us and sitting in the evening outside with this view in the mountains and the illuminated pool was very romantic. We also met your friendly neighbours from No.8 and Mary and Wez helped us with the TV. Be shure that we give you the best notes and recommand your house to our friends.

We scoured the Limassol area to find villas that would be appropriate for some of our guests attending our Wedding in May 2011. After many disappointments we found Elia House and knew immediately that friends and family that needed accommodation would be delighted to stay in such lovely surroundings - we were right! "My Wife and I" also stayed here for a few days during the week - we had a fabulous time, in a fabulous villa. Perfect, quiet position with lovely rural views, easy for taxis/supermarket etc, plenty of space, beautiful pool. The owners and agent have all been wonderful to deal with and were the icing on the "wedding" cake to end an emotional week. Thank you to you all.

We had a wonderful time in your house, despite repeated rain. It is the most beautiful house we have ever had. So we were very sad, when we had to go. ...

We enjoyed our Holidays in Elia House - the house is very beautiful and very clean, everything was perfect! Unfortunately the weather wasn´t so good in this week, so we were glad that we could heat the house...

We enjoyed Cyprus and of course Elia House. It was the most beautiful house we rented there.
German couple who spent a month walking in Cyprus. Date of Stay: Dec 2010
The last three years we went five times to Cyprus and we lived there in different houses. The Elia House was the best we've ever seen. It has a very good equipment and it is well-maintained. Our two kids espacially loved the big pool and the garden with the trampoline. Inside the house is very spacious, but also outside there is a large veranda so you can always find a place in the sun or a shady place, just how you like it. The house is located near Limassol, so you can find a lot of amenities just a few minutes drive away. We would like to come back here and we definitely would recommend the house to our friends.
German family of 4 (2 children). Date of Stay: Oct/Nov 2010
Thanks a lot for a fantastic week in your exciting holiday villa Elia House. We know a lot of holiday-houses and flats from the past in several countries but there is nothing to compare with your villa in Finikaria. 5 stars for the house, for the management and even for your hints, where to eat, to shop and where to have a good lunch.... So we all had a great time to enjoy the pool and the beautiful view.
German family of 5 (0 children). October 2010
Thank you for an unforgettable holiday. I also appreciate the rapid repair of the eagerly anticipated pool lights. You truly have one of the most beautiful villas I have ever seen.
Family of 5 from Germany (0 children). October 2010
We had a wonderful holiday. The villa was lovely and it was very peaceful (and cooler!) in the village. I'm not sure what our plans are next year but if we come back again we'd love to stay at your villa if that was convenient.
English family of 5 (3 children). July/Aug 2010
I must say, Elia House is fabulous! The views are a joy to wake up to and it's refreshing to find a rental house so well equipped. It's so peaceful and quiet and such a wonderfully thought out plot. We look forward to coming back here each day, jumping in the pool and feeling relaxed and at home. For a last minute booking we couldn't have asked for more! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Elia House to friends and will definitely want to re-book when returning to visit my in-laws.
Engish family of 3 (1 child). July 2010
We enjoyed our holidays very much. Unfortunately our stay was too short. Elia House was for sure one of the best houses we had during holidays in the Mediterranean area. We would be pleased to come back to Elia House again in the future perhaps during another time of the year.
