The garden is completely private and secure, with perimeter fencing and gates to both sides of the villa. There are 6 pool side/garden lights and two exterior lights for when entertaining outdoors on an evening. The pool itself has its own light which is on an automatic timer.

AREA AROUND MANDRIA
MANDRIA
Only 7km from the airport and boasting a beautiful, unspoilt coastline and beaches, Mandria is a peaceful, rural village with several tavernas, shops / convenience stores, a bakery and a bank most of which are centered around the village square. Many of the tavernas have free wifi. There is a petrol station and supermarket just on the outskirts of the village. The gentle pace of life is palpable. It takes 10 minutes to stroll past the fields of fragrant crops to the expansive beaches which are quiet.

PAPHOS
Paphos is only 14km and has a wide selection of tavernas, restaurants, bars, fast food outlets, and shops to cater for almost all shopping needs and even a Debenhams store. For the more culturally inclined, there is an abundance of historical sites to visit.

GOLF
Using Villa Miya as your base there are currently three excellent golf courses from which to choose and more under construction. TSADA is the longest established. Situated 15km north-east of Paphos, this par 72 course is 550m about sea level ensuring beautiful views and cool breezes. Course length is 6,060m. Drive seven minutes east from the villa and you will arrive at the par 74 course of SECRET VALLEY, set amongst natural rock formations and trees. Course length is 5,904m. Just next door is the award winning, par 71 course of APHRODITE HILLS. Built on two plateaux separated by a ravine, the course has to be seen to be believed. Course length is 6,229m. All of these courses offer wonderful playing experiences as well as first class facilities and the climate of Cyprus makes year round golf a viable and attractive alternative to playing in the rain-soaked UK!
