About the home

Number 17, a three bedroom detached villa, is just the place in Cyprus to stay for a break, to relax and unwind and to forget about the hectic life back at home. Based in the Pernera area which is literally a stone’s throw away from Protaras, it has the advantage of being within a tranquil complex (Sunset Villas) and yet, in less than 10 minutes, you can walk to the heart of Pernera or, indeed, its 'Blue Flag' beaches. If you don't feel like going to the beach the villa benefits from its own pool to cool down on those lazy days.

With so many beaches either walking distance or within a fifteen minute drive, you could probably visit a different beach for each day of a typical two week break. That is what you call being spoilt for choice for all you beach lovers.

Having a family of my own, I genuinely feel that the house is a fun place for the family to chill out. Everyone has those days when they don’t want to go to the beach so the pool is an ideal alternative for when you just want to laze. With satellite TV also, there are a host of international channels (English and Russian channels) to choose from, something for everyone! Oh yes, and with your relaxing holiday in mind there is a big fridge/freezer so you can do one big shop at the supermarket and concentrate on chilling out. There is also a bus stop just outside the complex (a two minute walk) that can take you to various places in the area. Bakeries and mini supermarkets are a short walk away for those urgent 'must buys'.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
Inside, the house is air conditioned and has all the comforts you would expect. Upstairs, two of the rooms have king size double beds and the third room has two singles. Two of the bedrooms also benefit from a balcony where there is a partial sea view. All bedrooms have fitted wardrobes. There is an en suite to the master bedroom and a separate bathroom serving the other two bedrooms. All three bedrooms have air conditioning (timer switches have been fitted - up to six hours, that can be reset at any time for your comfort). The ground floor is open plan.

The capacity for the house is 7/8 (we have a double sofabed in the living room as of July 2011). PLEASE NOTE, we also have a travel cot and, therefore, an infant (up to 2 years of age) can also be catered for.

Further details outdoors:
The exterior of the house is tiled. To the rear there is a swimming pool (we regret no diving permitted) with six sunbeds. There is a dining table with six chairs for outside dining use as well as parasols. Well lit for those al fresco evening dinners. Pool towels are provided.

Further details

An English speaking representative will be on hand to answer any questions you may have during your stay.

There will be a welcome pack on arrival to save you making a mad dash to the supermarket on arrival, particularly if you arrive late.

The Famagusta region

With Pernera being close to Protaras, Paralimni, Cape Greco and Agia Napa, you have paradise on your doorstep. There is no doubt that the best beaches in Cyprus are situated a short walk or drive from Number 17. You are totally spoilt for choice when it comes to places to eat and drink in Pernera, Protaras, Paralimni and Aghia Napa. In the lesser known villages of Sotira and Dherenyia there are some real hidden gems nestling within the villages to eat a typically Greek Cypriot meal at very affordable prices.

Don't forget however that Cyprus is a very large island and, if you are feeling adventurous and have time to venture further afield, there are even more places to visit. Here are a few to get you started:

Larnaca – 45 minutes by car – A good afternoon trip where you can go shopping in the centre, walk down the promenade and marina. Plenty of cafes and restaurants for everyone’s tastes.

Nicosia – 1hour away by car – the capital of Cyprus and well worth a trip to the old town within the Venetian walls, and the museum. If you remember to take your passports with you can cross to the Turkish occupied area to see the contrasts in the island. You need to walk down Ledra Street.

Lefkara Village – 45 minutes - A charming Cypriot village that has become famous along with the neighbouring village of Kato Drys for the beautiful lace that is embroidered by hand. It’s worth the trip and you will be received with a warm welcome. You need to head for Larnaca in the first instance. No need to go into Larnaca as such but as you get close follow the signs for Limassol as Lefkara is just off the Larnaca/Limassol highway. It’s clearly signed as to where you must come off the highway. Stop at the fishing harbour village of Zhygi for a fish meze.

Platres – 2 hours – Up in the Troodos mountains it is a quaint village where many Cypriots like to escape to. There are also some great monasteries such as Kykko and Troditissa monasteries which are perched in the mountains. Incidentally, ladies are not allowed into some monasteries with shorts.

The Protaras / Pernera area

To be honest, you don’t need a car because with the Pernera centre a short walk away you have everything from restaurants and pubs to pharmacies, small supermarkets, even diving schools! A lovely walkway built along the local coastline makes a great walk with the family or for the fitness fanatics among you, jogging. You get to see so many of the little coves in the Pernera/Protaras area with the opportunity to stop for a rest and purchase a drink at some of the watering holes along the way.

Pernera - Within walking distance you have the Pernera centre which is 10 minutes away. Literally, come out of the complex and turn right and you will be there in no time. There you will have restaurants, banks, a chemist and doctor (during peak summer season), diving schools, car/bike hire and mini supermarkets, pubs and taxi rank. Bus stops are situated just outside the complex too. There are also beaches within walking distance. The good thing about Pernera is that it is extremely close to Protaras but it is quieter so if you want more action it’s easily accessible. Agia Napa is about 15-20 minutes away by car/bus.

Protaras - Protaras is special as its beaches are simply amazing with its crystal clear waters. Here you can sunbathe, do a number of water sports or simply take a stroll down its main street which has a variety of pubs, cafes, restaurants, souvenir shops. It’s 5-10 minutes (depending on which part of Protaras you want) by car or a 20 minute walk.

One of the most famous beaches of all Cyprus is Fig Tree Bay. It really is idyllic. There are also a number of other beaches on that same stretch that are also very good. If you are feeling particularly energetic you can walk down to Pernera beach and follow the recently finished coastal walkway passing a number of beaches on the way (as well as small cafes for a well deserved break) which finishes at the main Protaras stretch of beaches. Also, on the other side of Protaras, there is a lovely beach called Konnos Bay. It’s well worth going to. It is a beautiful beach in a small cove.

Agia Napa - We have all heard of Agia Napa but we would urge you to go and visit during the day or early evening. You will find their hospitality is warm and for the kids there is a decent enough fairground (Luna Park) you may wish to take them to when you have started to run out of ideas. There are excellent facilities and, the only part that will get noisy is the town square at around 10.30pm onwards. Nissi beach and Limanaki are two very good beach areas. You are unlikely to need to go there because you have the best pretty much on your doorstep but we thought you should know anyway. There is also the Water Park just outside Agia Napa where the family can spend the day, great fun!

Guestbook for Number 17

“We enjoyed our stay at ‘Number 17’. The villa was nice and we felt welcomed. It was in a quiet neighbourhood with good location – we travelled to other beaches and villages both by foot and on public transportation with no problems.” Summer 2010, Aki and Hanna from Finland.

Irina from Moscow says... “In ‘Number 17’, Sunset Villas, our family spent two wonderful summers. We were there August 2009 and now in July and August 2010.The house has absolutely everything you need for relaxation and comfort for all members of the family. The villa is very conveniently located. The sea walk 7-10 minutes, and that is at a slow children's step. Pernera is a very cosy place with plenty of restaurants, cafes, traditional Cypriot tavernas. We believe that we have found an ideal place to relax for our big family (I,my husband and our three children and grandparents)! Many thanks to the owner of the villa!”

Richard and Sharon from Surrey, England, comment, "We all enjoyed our holiday and stay at 'Number 17' and would say the villa was lovely and clean and very well equipped with the washing machine for towels and beachwear a must. The location is also great for all of the local restaurants bars and shops and the pool very welcome on those hot sunny afternoons. We would certainly go back again." (Summer 2010)
