Home description
Villa Rockheart provides a luxurious level of accommodation combined with the comforts of home, giving you the ideal base for your holiday in Northern Cyprus. The wonderful location of the property cannot be exaggerated—the views in every direction are quite breathtaking. The phrase “million dollar view” could have been created for this property.
All of the downstairs rooms give access to the enormous, shaded terrace that runs the full length of the house. This spacious outdoor room has wonderful sea views and will become your favourite place to enjoy a cocktail while watching the sunset. The extra large 11m x 6m swimming pool is a lit for your enjoyment on warm summer nights. A Roman end gives easy access for the young and old.
The villa is in one of the most idyllically peaceful spots imaginable and yet only minutes from all the life of the coastal area. Perfect for families, for couples or groups of adults. Enjoy the restaurants and beaches and then return to the blissful comfort of your private retreat

The Kyrenia District
Northern Cyprus is still an unspoilt delight compared to most of the Mediterranean. The northern coastal plain around Kyrenia has many sandy coves. The Eastern shore around Famagusta and also the Karpas Peninsula has long empty sandy beaches. Kyrenia with its tiny ancient harbour is incredibly picturesque and has a wonderful atmosphere at night when it really comes to life. Summers are long in Cyprus and it seldom falls below 14C in winter. Christmas lunch on the terrace is quite normal. There are many sightseeing opportunities from crusader castles, to ruined abbeys, shopping in Kyrenia, wildlife viewing in the Karpas, horse riding, walking in the wonderful mountains, wild flowers and butterflies. It is very reasonable to eat out and you will find hundreds of restaurants with differing cuisines to choose from.
Ilgaz area
Set high above the bustle of the coastal plain, Ilgaz is a tiny dream of a Cypriot village, a centre for walking the Besparmak (Five Finger) Mountains. On the mountainside just below the village, Villa Rockheart is perched over a green valley with spectacular and uninterrupted views running down to the sea, only five minutes drive away, and up into the mountains behind. There is a restaurant/bar within a couple of minutes walk or it is 5 minutes drive to a wide choice including Cypriot, Chinese, French, Italian, Australian and Indian. The nearest beach is about 5 minutes drive but there are a good choice within 10 minutes. Most with full facilities and watersports. Escape Beach is wonderful for families. Mountain walks begin at the end of the garden and you can walk through the mountains past waterfalls, castles and ruined abbeys and monasteries.

Guestbook
Had an absolutely wonderful time at Villa Rockheart. The weather was absolutely beautiful and the villa was fantastic. Hope to visit next year! Margaret Finley and husband, June, 2008
We had an absolutely fabulous time in Cyprus, it was just what we needed! I’m hoping we’ll be able to go again next year. It’s such a perfect location for exploring and I’m looking forward to going again when the kids are older so that we can explore the castles! I can’t think of anything that could be improved really, the villa was in tip top shape and had everything we needed. Marion had done a great job in getting us a cot, high chair, formula and nappies. Thanks for everything again!. I’m wishing we were still there! I’m working on Andy....... There were a few properties I liked the look of!!!! Teeheee! Sally and Andy Owens and Family, June 2008
Holiday was fantastic! Good weather and a lovely villa to stay in! Tracy Jobling and party, May 2008
We have had a magnificent holiday on the island with nice weather and temperature and also the house was great. For sure it is in our top three anywhere now and we have stayed in a lot of houses! All four of us loved the pool and we lived most of the day either inside/outside near the pool or the great kitchen. We have some ideas to come back next year at the end of April, please let us know availability. Ellen, Sjoerd and Boys, May 2008
We had a simply wonderful time at Villa Rockheart and would be interested in returning again later in the year if you would welcome us back and if you have vacancies. Marion was wonderful and anticipated most of our queries before we even asked them - she couldn’t be faulted. Thanks again for a wonderful holiday. Dave, Sue and Margaret, April 2008
Just a quick note to say what a fantastic time we had at Villa Rockheart. There were eight of us altogether as we went with all four grandparents. They went on various trips that were recommended by other guests who have stayed and written in your very useful guestbook. Sevener car hire you recommended were fantastic and picked us up from Larnaca and took us back for a very reasonable price and the hire car was at the villa when we arrived. Your property manager looked after us very well and was able to answer any questions we had and I am sure if we had had any problems they would have been no trouble for her. The whole holiday went smoothly without any problems and the villa was exceptional. Our children have both learnt to swim in your pool and we had trouble getting them out in the evening. I wanted a quiet holiday by the pool in the sun and that is exactly what I got and more, we will be going back. Thank you Sam and Sarah Brown, October 2007
