Fantastic stay at a beautiful place
Review Submitted: 06 October 2012Date of Stay: June 2012
If you are looking for a little piece of heaven then you need look no further than Villa Hunter in Tala. It really is a beautiful place. We visited for one week at the beginning of June and returned happy and relaxed - thats a successful holiday!
The pictures of the villa are good but we were still surprised at how beautiful the villa is. It is spotlessly clean with very stylish modern furnishings and all the conveniences you could expect of a five star residence - sat tv, v good air conditioning throughout including bedrooms, beautiful linen and comfy beds, comfy sofa and dish washer and washing machine. Home from home is right - we did not want for anything and it all looks fantastic and is a pleasure to be in.
The pool and garden were great with lots of flowering plants and carefully tended bushes. It was just so peaceful lying reading a book under an umbrella in the shade with the occasional dip in the pool for exercise! It was really quite easy to do nothing there! However, we did drag ourselves away and it is essential to have a car to get about and see some of the nearby cultural sights and take trips to the beach and buzz of Paphos.
ISome evenings we would just want to stroll in to Tala where we found there were bars and restaurants to visit. Marios do some mean cocktails and the staff are really, really friendly.
Pete and Jane are the most attentive owners. They were so helpful and really want to make your stay as good as it can be. They gave us lots of info on where to visit and good restaurants to eat at - some you just would not find without their help. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will definately visit again. Thank you Pete and Jane for a lovely holiday

A wonderful holiday! 5 stars very much deserved!!
Review Submitted: 11 July 2012Date of Stay: June 2012
We have just returned from a two week stay in this wonderful villa and can honestly say it is the nicest villa we have ever had the pleasure to stay in - a true home from home. The villa was immaculate, beautifully furnished and very comfortable, exactly as described.
We couldnt have asked for anymore help or information prior to departure and all emails to the owner were replied to promptlyand lots of information readily given. We were even provided with photographs to go with directions from the airport/to nearest beaches/supermarket which were so very helpful - these small touches make all the difference.
I only wish I was still sat out on that sofa under the stars sipping a glass of wine as I was this time last week! I cannot recommend highly enough and hope to return in the near future

Stunning Villa With Spectacular Views
Review Submitted: 25 October 2012Date of Stay: October 2012
We took a pensioner and a teenager away with us on holiday and thought we might not be able to please both with our choice of accommodation and location but we should strike lucky with one of them. However, they both loved the villa and location. The owners haven’t shirked on comfort and amenities. The beds are wonderfully comfortable and if you’ve forgotten to bring something from home you’ll probably find it’s already provided. Usually a couple of days before the end of a holiday we are itching to get back home but none of us wanted to leave. It truly is a wonderful relaxing villa in the most spectacular setting we have ever seen. You have a fantastic sea view on one side and beautiful hills on the other. Taking a pensioner and a teenager on holiday could have proved very stressful but it was the most relaxing holiday we have ever had.
Tala Square, which is just a short walk away, has many Taverna’s and restaurants as well as a small shop. You could very easily dispense with a car and just relax at the villa and go down to the square to eat. The menus at the Taverna’s cater to all tastes and we had some truly fabulous meals. Everyone we met were so helpful and friendly and the villa owners are well known to them. So if you dro p their name you’ll often get drinks on the house, extra large portion of deserts etc.
On our previous 2 visits to Cyprus we hadn’t had the knowledge of the places to visit and places to eat at other than what the guidebooks tell you. However, the villa owners share with you their and other guests recommendations and we found the most amazing places to visit and eat at that are not advertised. For example we would never have discovered the Last Castle without their recommendation and if you haven’t been there and experienced it you are truly missing a wonderful experience.
We have no hesitation in recommending this villa and once you have experienced it we are sure you would never consider staying anywhere else

Luxury Villa in Tala
Review Submitted: 14 October 2011Date of Stay: August 2011
We booked this villa as a party of 5, 2 couples and my adult daughter. The layout of the villa and its outside areas and location were the main reasons we chose it. Everything is as described and we had a lovely holiday, you are far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the resort to enjoy the real Cyprus, but not so far that you feel isolated. We did have Sunday Lunch in the square and enjoyed the views from the verandah. The villa is very well equipped and well looked after, we would certainly return

Tala was a lovely place to visit - very quaint and welcoming. The villa was great, loads of space, well kept and very relaxing. The owners have a welcome pack and lots of recommended places to visit, eat etc which helps loads. Malcolm who lives almost next door and Donna the cleaner were very helpful and friendly. Great holiday. Thank you.

Best Villa in Tala
Review Submitted: October 8, 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
We think Villa Hunter must be the best villa in Tala, Location, Locations its top. The villa was every thing as discribed plus more. It had a real home from home feel, and the owers have spared no expense in creating a lovely villa. The decor is very comtempoary, and the best beds ever with lovely bedding like a 5* hotel. Really nice to have all the great touches as Sky sports, dishwasher etc. The location is great, quite with lovely views yet only a short walk to the lovely village of Tala which has a great bar ( Marios) and tavernas.
Tala was a lovely Cypriot Village with a try old fashioned feel and we were well looked after and made welcome buy the local people.
The owners send out a great infomation pack about the villa, local area, including lots of directions that include photos that made the drive to the villa really easy plus also directions to paphos, coral bay and local shops etc. We liked the fact they call before you go and talked us through the route which shows how attentive the service is with a visit from their great team while we were there. Thanks dave the pool is lovely and Donna for the advise about things to do.The restaurant reccomendations were excellent and made for a great stay, WOW do go to the Last Castle with out the oweners help you would not find this place and it is well worth the trip. The gardens are a small bit of paradise in cyprus and even the gardener came around to check all was ok, what more can you want, and all certainly more than we ever expected. Thank you once again, We will be back next year and booking early so we can get our dates

Villa Hunter - The Review (That sounds formal)

Review Submitted: November 30, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Peter & Jane,
What can we say? Alison and I had a great two weeks at Villa Hunter. For us it was just what the doctor ordered. All your recommendations were spot on but we have to admit we didnt do all of them. For us a holiday is about doing nothing (mind you Alison would have me walk around every heritage site going if she could), reading laying by the pool or beach, sipping a beer or three and just chilling. This ticked the boxes. We went to the beach a few days but really, the pool at the Villa was so inviting, why bother with all that waiting for the air conditioning in the car to cool it down enough to get in when you can just sit in peace right there.
The villa was immaculate when we arrived, very stylishly decorated and furnished. It had everything we needed, its very beautiful and youve done a fine job to make it not only feel like a home from home but a very tasteful one at that.
The local restaurants were really good but we saved the best until last, "The Last Castle". What a place!!! We couldnt believe it because we had driven right past it the first week and never saw it. That drive is unbelievable, you just keep going along that beach road (actually more beach than road), when we saw the sign for the restaurant we were shocked because having gone to the beach where the Turtles lay their eggs the week before, we just didnt see it. If youre not looking out for it, you would never know it was there. The food was simple and tasty the BBQ lamb had a flavour to die for.
We will return soon, we love to travel to different places but for us, this would be a great place to chill for a week and get away from the cold of England. I have told quite a few friends about Villa Hunter so hopefully that will keep you going for the next few years.
Thanks again for all your comments, advice and information on the Villa, Cyprus, directions and everything, it really helped us to settle in quickly and therefore relax, which is what it’s all about.

WOW... what can i say. this villa is just Fab and having seen other villas and locations in Tala i can see why this has become the most popular in the Paphos area.( to be honest all of Tala is great but this really is the best)
The villa is actually much better than the photos and is in such a lovely quiet location with great uninterupted views over the coast. It really is 5 Star plus with every thing you need with really comfortable beds better than any hotel we have stayed in all , well equiped and such a great design something the owners should be congratulated on and should be proud of. You can tell no expense has been spared in furnishing the villa and it is pure luxury.
When we walked in the villa it was beautifully presented with flowers on the bed and every attention to detail very well thought of.It reminded us of those great hotels in Dubai
The management team who looked after us in cyprus were great and really helped us settle in. The free welcome meeting shows how attentive peter & jane are to ensure that their guests are really well looked after and is a real added bonus that we did not expect.
The heated pool was a real bonus in april as other pools were freezing yet we had a pool that was lovely and warm cleaned twice a week and really made our stay such a real luxury.
The villa is only a short easy 5 mins walk to Tala village square that has some lovely tavernas and a bar which makes for a really nice local cypriot feel. The local people were great to meet and it is obvious that they know the owners well and are always to happy to help.
The Owners were so helpful with our booking providing a great booking service and good advise.Their car hire info saved us loads,while the info they send on e-mail about restuarants and the local area was great and we really enjoyed all there recommendations
.
Thank you very much for organising such a great holiday for us. No more 5 *hotels for us this villa is much better and also such great value.
We have already booked for 2011 as we are sure it will be sold out again and cant wait to be back.
Thank you from all our family

We would like to take this opportunity to say what a lovely time we had at Villa Hunter. The villa was very clean and tidy and decor very impressive. The views from the pool and bedroom are gorgous. (just a shame the remaining villas arent finished around about). The location was ideal for Tala square where we spend most nights at Marios bar and the gorgous restaurants around the square and Tala. We took along our parents with us and our 3 year old daughter whom all had a lovely time, infact I think it is the first holiday my dad has been on that he didnt want to come home.

A beautiful villa, literally everything you need plus more in a wonderful location within walking distance of the store to stock up the fridge and visit the bar and few restaurants.
Our group of 6 loved this villa and would recommend to all!
Also a very positive word on the owners who were constantly in contact up until the day of departure making sure our every need or worry was answered.

We spent a delightfull 3 weeks at Villa Hunter during November. The quality of the villa, pool, furnishings and fitments are all first class as are the views and the quiet location.
The villa is within easy reach, would recomend car hire, of numerous shops, taverns and restaurants in the local area. For golfers there are 3 good golf courses, Tsada, Secret Valley and Aphrodite Hills within a 20 min drive varous beaches are also within easy reach.
We would definitely return for another holiday in the villa

A wonderfil villa, that is kitted out with everything you could possibly need. Tala is a beautiful little village, and the choice of restaurants is great. Really easy to get to form the airport, and a short drive into Paphos. Ideal for families, we had the most relaxing time, even with my 1 year old. A cot was made available with bedding, and the kitchen was better than at home. We will be back every year, if they will have us!! Faye and Finley

I would definely recommed this villa,it is truly gourgeous! It is set up in the hills of Tala with wonderful viewsand so peaceful, if you want relaxation then this is the place for you! The decoration and furnishings are like a showroom with some lovely touches like CDs DVDs and Ipod docking station.Having your own swimming pool is great. If you can drag yourselves away to have dinner try the Square in Tala Square for homemade food and only 15 euros for a set 3 cousre dinner but be warned the portions are huge!
We had a hire car and do think you need one to get around all the hills, and as we where 3 women on our own it is a bit spooky to walk back from Tala square in the dark. Probably fine if you are in a group.The air conditioning in the 3rd bedroom was a bit of a pain as it is on a timer for a max of 2 hours which means in the night you have to get out of bed to keep resetting it. We ending up sharing a room,but it would not put me off going again!

We have just spent the most relaxing holiday we have ever had at Villa Hunter. In comparison to other villas we had looked at it was fantastic value for money in a beautiful peaceful location. The villa had everything we wanted from a clean heated pool with sea views to air conditioning that kept the villa lovely and cool. We chose not to hire a car as we wanted a relaxing week and Tala was a traditional Cypriot village & only a 10min walk. It offered a good selection of tavernas and a variety of restaurants depending on what type of meal you wanted. We made a late booking and could not have asked for more support from Peter the owner. He provided a welcome park with all the info you needed & even had pictures on the directions so we could find it!!! We will book again but next time hire a car so we can get to see Paphos. Highly recommend this beautifully furnished villa.

Peter thanks for a great 2 weeks in july at the villa.The whole family had a fab time even my teanage girls loved Tala.The villa is fantastic with beautifull furniture and such a lovely setting.
We really enjoyed Tala, it has great views down to paphos and coral bay.The local tavernas offer great food , excellant value and also good entertainment, you really don't need to visit the main tourist areas of paphos as Tala has it all with a lovely traditional local atmosphere.
Will be back to stay next year.
Thanks Linda , Kieth & family
