Villa Joanna (villa)

Home description

The property was completed in 2007. It sits on a third of an acre of land with landscaped gardens, containing fruit trees, with colourful flowers and shrubs all year round. The open plan villa is built and fitted to the highest possible standards with both air conditioning and central heating throughout

Outside there is extensive terracing and a large courtyard, tiled in travertine. There is an outdoor shower and traditional turkish built barbecue. The swimming pool is 11 metres by 5 metres and has a Roman end with steps into the pool for easy access. Sunbeds and parasols are plentiful

The slightly elevated position allows uninterupted views of the Besparnak mountains to the south and views of the sea to the north. Bellapais Abbey is lit up at night and clearly visible from our terraces and balconies as is the ancient hill fortress of St Hilarian

On the shaded veranda there is a large granite dining table seating eight. Fly screens on the doors and windows allow them to be left open, creating a lovely breeze from the sea and mountains both day and night. The garden is fully walled around the property with lighting at night along the front wall, around the inside of the pool, around the courtyard and in the veranda

Parking space for three cars can be accommodated within the walls of the villa.

The Kyrenia District

Kyrenia District in the northern part of Cyprus, with its plethora of flora and fauna, is incredibly beautiful and ideal for walking in the mountains and relaxing in the sun. The people are very hospitable and welcoming and shrug their shoulders at the politics.This part of Cyprus is unspoilt in terms of development and Kyrenia itself has a very long and interesting history

The Kyrenia mountains form an impressive backdrop to the fertile plains and coastal districts, and old fashioned methods of farming have ensured that wild flowers flourish, whilst the undeveloped beaches are a sanctuary for Loggerhead and the endangered Green Turtles. Northern Cyprus is a hotspot for bird migration in the spring, with the 2 peninsulas of Korukam in the west and Karpaz, known as 'the panhandle' in the east, providing welcome land for tired migrants

The history and heritage of northern Cyprus with its share of outstanding archaeological sites is well known but the real advantage is being able to enjoy yourselves without queues of visitors.Take time to visit Bellapais Abbey, St Hilarion Castle, the Shipwreck Museum in Kyrenia and the fantastic ruins of Salamis
The coast of Turkey can be seen on good days about 40k from Kyrenia

Kyrenia Town (4km)

The key attraction is the wonderful horseshoe harbour which many claim is the most beautiful in the Mediterranian. Lively tavernas line the harbour and the colourful fishing boats and yachts bob on the water

Behind the harbour is a maize of small streets with an array of discrete restaurants. This is very atmospheric and well worth a visit.
