About the home

Sotira (meaning 'saviour' in Greek) is a warm, welcoming place and one of Cyprus's historic 'red soil' villages located a 2 minute drive from the city of Paralimni on the South East Coast of the historic Famagusta province.

The village has an abundance of traditional tavernas, restaurants, bars, bakeries & boutiques. Whether you're looking to shop, eat or just relax over a coffee, beer or glass of wine whilst watching the villagers pass by; it's just a short walk from your front door.

Sotira's cuisine has such a strong reputation that many people make the journey from places such as Agia Napa & Protaras to sample the traditional fayre.

Villavanti is just a 2 minute drive away from the city of Paralimni which offers a wide range of facilities one would expect from a city including large supermarkets, bars, restaurants, banks etc.

Trips to paralimni offer that city break atmosphere where contemporary boutiques stand adjacent to distressed old tavernas and where your senses are treated to the scent of fresh coffee, the sound of church bells and the interaction of people traversing the square. Here you will also find the large scale supermarkets of Kokinnos, Orphanides, Carrefour and Xenis on the periphery of the old town.

Just a 6 minute drive from the complex are the inimitable Fig Tree Bay and world famous Nissi Beach where the 'azure blue' Mediterranean sea await your arrival.

Snorkelling around the secluded clearwater coves of Cape Greko is popular and you will see water sport excursions and boat trips to the uninhabited city of Famagusta advertised widely throughout the region.

Water World (water park) is a family favourite and is a short journey from Sotira.

Whether you prefer the bustling night life or evening seafront walks with the family Agia Napa & Protaras are a short distance away.

Local taxi's will take seven people cost effectively to Ayia Napa for around 17 Euro for a night out.
There is also a popular bus service connecting Sotira with Ayia Napa, Protaras, Paralimin and many of the surrounding villages and as far afield as Larnaca. Local buggy or bike hire is available for a fun day out.

The Famagusta region

The Famagusta district spans the full southern edge of Cyprus where infinite coastal views are breathtaking. Beaches, coves, mountainous walks, historic architectural gems and a National Park make it more than just a coastal holiday.

In fact, Cyprus is one of the unique locations of the world where you can ski (Troodos Mountains) and sunbathe (any of the idyllic beaches) at the same time of the year.

It is a region filled with history including the 'ghost Town' of Famagusta which has lain unoccupied since the Turkish / Greek conflict came to a head in 1974. This can be best viewed from the sea where boat trips take sail along the coast from Protarus / Agia Napa to Famagusta whilst telling the story over a BBQ.

Konnos Bay is a shallow shelved bay providing ideal swimming conditions for young families. water sport activities include parascending, water skiing, canoeing and jetskis.

Cape Greko is a wild and rugged National Park which is elevated above the surrounding bays offering uninterupted views of the Med.

Nissi Beach and Fig Tree Bay are two of the most picturesque beaches, not only of the island but of the world.

There are also many highstreets and esplanades to enjoy a stroll with a traditional ice cream.

The Sotira area

Sotira has the charm of a small village but a deceiving diversity of amenities. The village is steeped in history, There are a number of churches and basilicas some of which contain frescos from the 12th century.

You will not fail to be impressed by a weekend evening in one of the tavernas playing live music. Here, you will be absorbed by the atmospheric culture of eating and drinking slowly to the backdrop of live traditional Greek music whilst local guests haphazardly rise from their dining tables to proceed to dance with a rhythmic and tasteful demeanour.

It is not uncommon to see families, including young toddlers gathered around the restaurant tables until the small hours; dining here is a very family embracing activity.

Tavernas:
Mousikos- Traditional food and live 'greek' music on selected days- Pre booking recommended
Ploumins- Traditional food and live 'greek' music on selected days, extensive wine list- Pre booking recommended
Costas- Traditional taverna. Try the Meze between two with a bootle of wine. Chips are fantastic
Symos- Traditional taverna. Excellent reputation in the region. This is also a good place for premiership football.
Pizza Spice-Excellent pizza takeway.
Vasiliskos- International a la carte cuisine. Excellent steaks and sea bass.

Bars
La suite- chilled out bar serving simple food at resonable prices. Large screens play many European football matches from Spanish & English leagues.

Unlike the seasonal resorts such as Agia Napa, Sotira's agricultural heritage makes it an all year destination. If the heat of high season is not your preference, then there are many things to do between January-March & October - December when the milder blue sky temperatures allow more vigorous activities such as sea fishing, rugged walks, or even skiing in the Troodos Mountain range (January to March, dependant on snowfall).

“Fantastic Holiday could not have been better A************” My wife, 2 children (aged 7 & 10) stayed here in this villa in October and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The small estate where the villas are in Sotira are second to none and this was our 3rd holiday in this estate and would not want to go anywhere else! The villa itself is excellent with 3 large bedrooms with master en-suite, great open plan living area, dining area and kitchen are so spacious and clean with all new modern appliances and furniture. The private pool is fantastic and so clean and inviting. The management couple from the UK live on site and they are the most lovely couple you could meet, they make sure everything is perfect for your stay they are great we think a lot of them, they do a fantastic job!! Sotira itself is great it as a fantastic bakery which does lovely croissants for breakfast and its a 5-10 minute walk and its called the Euro Bakery, there is one just around the corner from the villa but we prefer the Euro Bakery. There are some nice places to eat also in Sotira especially Old Simos which once you've gone there you will be sure to go again, fantastic food, big portions and very cheap and Simo and his family are extremely welcoming, they also do a take away menu which you can ring up then collect which is a 5 minute walk away. If you would prefer to venture to Ayia Napa its only a 10 minute car journey so you have the best of both worlds with the villa. I cannot recommend the villa enough and will be sure to return again, soon!

“Fantastic Villa Lovely Village” Accomodation was spot on. Exactly what it says on the tin. The local village is excellent with a couple of really good taverns. Highly recommend Simos for great food and very friendly atmosphere. A short drive to a wonderful beach which has numerous water activities. All in all a great holiday was had by all the family young and old.

“The Villa is perfect” We have just returned from a weeks holiday at the villa Villavanti, the villa is perfect it had everything you needed. It was very clean, the pool was great to cool off and relax around. Barney & Sheila are lovely people they were to hand if you needed them and cleaned the pool. The villa is situated in a nice quiet spot in Sotira, but a short walk to shops bars and restaurants. We took are 20 year old son for time off work, he appreciated the X Box 360 when he was chilling out. The villa was easy to find, and from the first contact with Dino Muscatelli that owns the villa he was great. We will book the villa again in the near future. Hope that anyone who wants to visit Cyprus will choose Villavanti you will not be disappointed. Thank you. Julie & James Durose

“I wish i was there right now sipping on a glass of red watching the sun set.” Loved Sotira, the villa was fantastic. Whithout going overboard i would live there can not wait to go back. So relaxing, even with the kids (two under two) feel fully charged. Many Thanks

“Perfect family holiday villa” From the minute we arrived we were treated superbly and responsively by the resident management team. The property was new as were all the facilities such as pool, BBQ etc. The cleanliness and layout of villa were second to none. I think the location in Sotira is it's best kept secret. With water park, beaches and resorts all within close proximity it manages to to maintain all the authenticity of a village and provides amenities that exceed what one would expect of a village including tavernas, restaurants, boutiques etc. All of which are a short walking distance from the villa. My favourite part of the holiday was that I didn't need to go further than the village for anything we needed and the villa was such a relaxing place to be. So enjoyable we will be returning to this villa next year. I thought the villa would benefit from more shaded areas and have been informed by the owners that 2 parasols have recently been purchased to accompany external dining suites.
