About the home

“What a find!!  We’ve thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  Excellent location, fully serviced villa – a real home from home.  Normally there’s a list of things missing that would have made the holiday better, but not on this occasion.  We’re already looking forward to returning next year!!”  The Barrys, Bushells and Kings

Enjoy the quiet comforts of a 5-star deluxe 4 bedroom vacation rental villa, set in a small seaside village amongst rolling hillsides, lush vineyards and near-beach atmosphere, within walking distance of 14 restaurants and other holiday amenities.

Neptune’s Retreat is a privately owned, spacious 4 bedroom luxury villa with large open plan lounge/dining area opening onto fabulous paved terrace and garden with 13x4 metre pool, situated on the south-west coast of Cyprus, in the rural seaside village of Pissouri Bay, midway between Paphos and Limassol. Set at the southern end of a small valley filled with vineyards, the villa has spectacular sea views from the living areas and also from every bedroom, (so guests can wake up to the sound of the sea and relax in bed, savouring the views in luxury). The master bedroom has a private terrace with views over the gardens, pool and across the valley to the sea.

Fitted with all the mod cons, including air conditioning, broadband internet connection and stylish furnishings, this non-smoking villa makes the most of the superb landscaping, with outdoor living a particular feature. Neptune's Retreat is ideal both for lazing around and enjoying that book you have been meaning to read for months, or for more active passions such as golf (with 2 championship courses a mere 10 minute scenic drive away), water sports at the nearby Blue Flag beach, or exploring the many beauties of this wonderful island and indulging in culinary delights at the many local tavernas and restaurants.

Past guest comments:

“The Villa is lovely. The views, especially from the bedrooms, is beautiful – I loved waking up in the morning and lying in bed, seeing and hearing the sea. I would love to come back.”
Rhoann Joffe, London

“Spot on, super, spiffing, top notch, ab fab, marvellous, wonderful, great fandabiosi, smashing, nice and any other superlatives from the Imm, Longs and Thompsons. We’d love to come back again.”

“We had a lovely time. The villa was wonderful and the pool a real hit with the boys and granddads. They spent most of the days submerged. The weather got really hot during the middle of our stay but we had the lovely Pissouri breeze. We enjoyed Captains Bay and Mum and I went to the Serenity Spa for a lovely massage – the girls were great. Thanks for everything. Best wishes.”
McNallys and cousins

“Fantastic villa, lovely pool enjoyed by everyone. People very friendly and Chris the taxi man a real star. We tried all the restaurants recommended and all were very good. Captains Bay great for long lunches. Indian food was excellent, best tasted. Cyprus Night in the village was the best night, watermania most fun.”
Nolan family

“Wonderful villa for a family celebration (Ruby wedding anniversary). Good for young children (6 months and 18 months). FANTASTIC long pool! We have all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would recommend Columbia Hotel and Hillview Restaurant for a special occasion (worth paying the extra money). Would definitely visit this villa again. Thank you.”
Wheatstone family (UK and New York)

“Lovely villa, superb location. We could find no fault whatsoever. My 3 year old daughter loved the pool and she can practically swim now. All the rooms and the outside area are excellent. My only complaint is why didn’t we book a second week - one week is not enough! Weather has been hot every day. Thank you for a very enjoyable week.”
Wooley family

The Limassol region

Cyprus is one of Europe’s favourite holiday destinations. With friendly, English-speaking locals, excellent food, wine and over 5,000 years of history it’s hardly surprising! Add to that the near-zero crime rate, drive on the left, drink most tap-water and plug in your UK electrical appliances with no adaptors, you’ll understand why Cyprus promises to give you one of the most trouble-free, friendly, enjoyable and memorable holidays you will ever have! Explore Aphrodite’s Rock, the Tomb of the Kings, beaches, water-sports, water-parks and enjoy the lively atmosphere of Paphos, 20 minutes drive away, with its old harbour, restaurants, bars and nightclubs. Alternatively, savour the excellent food and wines in the quieter taverns in the villages of nearby Pissouri and Kouklia with their gentle and friendly character. The villa is 10 minutes drive from Secret Valley Golf club Aphrodite Hills Golf, Hotel Leisure complex, 30 minutes from Tsada Golf.

Go hiking or biking (or try some ski-ing in winter) or relax in one of the many interesting tavernas in the glorious Troodos mountains - which is a mere 30 minute drive north from the villa through tiny winding roads. Visit Cyprus's Mount Olympus which peaks at nearly 2,000m and drink in the clear air and gorgeous mountain scenery. Then decend through Platres, stop to take in a meze and some ouzo or explore a few of the many lavishly frescoed Byzantine churches that dot the area. If you are fit and adventurous, visit the Caledonia Falls at the end of the Caledonia Trail.

Back at the coast, take a trip to the ruins of ancient Curium (or Kourion), with its impressive cliff-top theatre where you may be lucky enough to attend a play or concert in the summer season. Visit the Crusader castle at Kolossi, and take in the spectacular sunsets at the Petra tou Romiou (the legendary birthplace of Greek Goddess Aphrodite). Further afield, the Akamas peninsula in the north-west of the island hosts the island's first National Park - if you are really lucky, you may see the green and loggerhead turtles haul themselves onto the beach to lay their eggs, or even better, see the hatchlings fight their way back into the sea.

The Pissouri / Pissouri Bay area

Local leisure facilities:

Blue flag beach
Golf
Scuba (diving school in the village)
Climbing
Walking
Tennis (at local hotel)
Water ski-ing
Sailing
Snow ski-ing in winter (30 minutes drive)

In addition to the wonderful 2km long Blue Flag beach in Pissouri Bay itself, there is a wonderful, almost deserted beach in the next bay, Avdimou, which is reached through an extensive nature reserve area filled with local wildlife and flora. Pissouri Village, with its quaint streets, lively restaurants and superb amphitheatre, is a 5 minute drive up the mountain-side, where you can savour the fabulous views over the countryside to Limassol or the Troodos Mountains.

In summer, there are regular Cypriot nights at several tavernas in both Pissouri Bay and Pissouri Village, while the nearby amphitheatre at Kourion regularly has events. Limassol and Paphos are each less than 30 minutes drive away, with their vast array of activities, including water parks, historic old towns and harbours, and long promenades along the sea front. The Limassol Sculpture Park is of particular interest and should not be missed - it is best enjoyed by taking a walk after a leisurely meal at one of the many seafront restaurants in the area.

“Absolutely top villa, very comfortable for our (family)group of 7 people,” Great villa with all modern comfort and luxury one can wish for and clean. With stunning views and a fantastic size swimming pool, especially liked by the grand children. We were planning to go sightseeing everyday (there is plenty to see...!) but we skipped a few days because we somuch enjoyed to stay "home". A short stroll to the shops with friendly people and beaches nearby. Good connection with the airport where we rented two cars to get around. Good support from Ivor Tucker for anything we wanted to know. The grandchildren would like to comeback anytime....! Response: Thank you very much for your kind comments - much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon.

“Great Villa in a good location” 4 Adults and 4 kids stayed at Neptunes Retreat during Easter week 2011 - we really enjoyed the villa - facilities were great and we were well looked after by the very friendly local "carer" of the house. Restaurants in the area were all within walking distance and the choices and variety of food were good. If you hire a car well worth going to Aphrodites Hill resort as well as the new Golf resort called Elea just outside Paphos - good course and stunning club house. Response: We are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Neptune's Retreat and thank you for your compliments about the facilities and location. We hope you will come back again in the future.

“A Fantastic Villa” The villa is excellent and the pool wonderful. We all had a brilliant time. We loved Pissouri bay and village and had some excellent meals in the area. We also travelled into the mountains which is well worth a visit. Some of our party were also lucky enough to be at the beach to see the turtles hatch and go into the sea. Your caretaker Richard was also very helpful and the pool was always kept clean. The Villa is an excellent base for the Paphos and Pissouri area of Cyprus. The info pack provided was also excellent. . Response: Thanks for your review and kind comments about the villa. We look forward to welcoming you again in the future.

Guestbook for Neptune's Retreat

"Just a short email to say how much we enjoyed our stay at your lovely villa, Neptune's Retreat. The villa exceeded our expectations! It was beautifully presented with a well equipped kitchen and very attractive tiling in the three bathrooms, all the bedrooms had ample storage and also had lovely curtains and blinds, the beds were very comfortable! It was great to wake up to the stunning sea views every morning.

We found Pissouri Bay very charming with a very well stocked mini market and off licence, there was a good choice of restaurants and bars, also the Columbia Resort where we had a very long lunch on one of the days! It was a very pleasant walk from the villa to the bay, and not even our youngest child, who is 5 complained about the walk there or back!

We would very much like to visit Neptune's Retreat again and will certainly recommend it to our friends! We wish you lots of success with renting the villa out and we are sure that no one could be disappointed with their stay. Kind regards until we arrange another booking!"
(The Blasdale Family, Kent, UK)

"We have all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at your wonderful villa at Neptunes Retreat, as it's the pefect place to relax in style & comfort. You have provided an excellent holiday villa, fully equipped to an excellent standard throughout, right down to the barbecue skewers! You have chosen a wonderful plot with fabulous views of the sea and an excellent size pool. The patio area was perfect for outdoor dining i.e. breakfasts and moonlit suppers in the evenings. The landscaping of the gardens is delightful and I'm sure this will mature quickly and further enhance the appeal of your villa.

Pissouri itself is an ideal spot for a relaxing holiday, and a welcome change from the more over-crowded & commercialised resorts further round the coast! It does have a good selection of local restaurants - most within walking distance - and the quality of food is very acceptable, especially the fresh fish, which we've found is not always available in other parts of the Island.

I would like to thank you again for the use of your villa and will have no hesitation in recommending you to our friends and family.” (Fagan family, Hertfordshire)

"What a stunning villa - the views are fantastic, the long pool meant that we could get some meaningful exercise on the doorstep, and theselection of restaurants was excellent. My husband was able to get in his regular golf games at Aphrodite Hills while the children and I enjoyed the beach and water sports (and I loved the peace and quiet of the village and surrounding countryside). We cannot recommend Neptune's Retreat highly enough." (Mrs R Joffe, Maidenhead)
