Argaka villa rental

We arrived and found the villa easily, on the coast road just a few hundred yards after the Saint Barbara restraunt, when we got settled in we realised just how comfy the villa was 3 onsuite bedrooms plus a seperate toilet off the lounge, the veranda upstairs gave a beautiful view of the sea, the pool was superb very private and clean with comfy outside furniture, the only problem we had was with the internet connection it was via dongle and would not connect, but Michael assured me that they where installing wifi the following week so that should no longer be a problem. the location is superb being the first villa up the private lane leading to 2 further villas it was relatively quiet, there are 3 tavernas quite close...Saint Barbara..the Turtle beach bar...& Lisas place, the latter being our favourite, although we would recommend all 3 for sevice/food and value for money, this is a villa and area I would recommend highly to anyone wanting a relatively quiet away from the hustle and bustle of Paphos holiday, a car is definately needed to get around, also thank you to Michael and family for your welcome and help when we needed it.

We travelled as two couples, and there is plenty of room. The villa is very comfortable with all you need for an excellent stay. I would recommend car hire, but if you need a Taxi I would recommend Nissos and ask for Goerge! We also hired our car from them and had no problems. Bed linen and towels changed once a week, which was fine, and the pool was cleaned a couple of times a week also. We all enjoyed our stay very much and would highly recommend to anyone seaching for peace and quite and a totally relaxing holiday. There are restaurants nearby (a short drive), but we would recommend a short walk down the road to Saint Barbara, an excellant restaurant with glorious views, friendly staff and most of all really good food!! Thank you for a wonderful holiday Steph Mark, Dawn and Keith

The property was excellent, directions to the coast road from polis were good, but the actual turnoff for the property was a bit of guess work as at 2 am the sign listed was not very visible in the dark. Suggestion might be to include the wording as " second dirt road off to the right after the large sign saying santa Barbara restaurant " villa is 20 meters on left behind hedge turn immediate left to single villa. The whole experience was good for our week, we had excellent information in the villa for sights and the shops were local with some fantastic meals at Lisas place and Santa Barbara restaurant . Owners were lovely and very helpful and came to make sure we were ok and if we needed any thing which we were pleased with. Having the pool Was a godsend. Thank you very much and will be booking again in the very near future as we loved this part of the island away from the main tourist areas it allowed for privacy but with local unspoilt sights on you doorstep. Regards Dino & Tracey

We stayed in this villa in July/Aug 2011. It is right opposite a lovely practically desserted beach - stoney with a little sand. The villa is very clean and tidy and has all you need for your holiday. The gardens and pool area are superb, and it was such a bonus being opposite a beach you can walk to and from whenever you like. There are several lovely tavernas within a 5 minute drive, and the town of Polis is only 8-10 mins drive, with a lovely little square surrounded by further restaurants.

We were hoping for a good holiday in Cyprus. How wrong we were. It was surpassed our expectations and was excellent, in every way. Huge thanks go to you Michael for the personal contact prior to flying out and the enormous relief when you were waiting for us at the airport to drive us to Villa Antigoni. Your hospitality didn’t stop there though, you arranged a wonderful welcome pack for us which was carefully placed in the fridge, the fruit bowl was filled and all the necessary tea, coffee, milk etc was provided but still it didn’t end.........you showed us the fresh tomatoes and peppers growing outside the house and told us to help ourselves to them! After you left us to take in the beauty of the house and its breathtaking views and unpack our luggage, our hire car was delivered to the door and we were ready to explore. We intended to visit so many different place in Cyprus but to be honest, we didn’t really venture too far as there was so much on the doorstep. The stunning beach only a few yards away from the front door, Polis, for the traditional village, Latsi for dining amongst the millionaire yachts, Pomos for the local fishing harbour and our very own Argaka offering the ‘Fly Again Inn’ and several lovely eateries. Each of these areas provided a substantial selec tion of restaurants to cater for our needs (and the children‘s too) We took the youngest go carting in nearby Polis, Phil and both boys had an hour’s lesson on a catamaran taking them out to St Georges island –which they absolutely adored, so much so we went back to Latsi Water sports the next day and hired a speed boat enabling us to go snorkelling along the bays, in particular the Blue Lagoon. The most memorable visit we had was when we stepped down to Aphrodite’s Bay........WOW. The snorkelling there was out of this world. Even I snorkelled! We saw many varieties of fish and sea creatures but the highlight was seeing and touching an octopus. A truly amazing place with a wonderful restaurant above the cove serving delicious food. There were times when we didn’t leave the Villa at all. Having such a large private pool in such a beautiful garden was too tempting to leave on several occasions. The facilities in the house were such that we could easily cook and eat in when we chose. The large supermarket in Polis provided all the usual foods that we could buy at home and more, and if we didn’t feel like doing a big shop we called at your families smaller supermarket and stocked up there, both only 5-10 minutes drive away. We flew kites on our own beach (as we called it) and prided ourselves in the fact that there was no one else on our beach so we named it our private beach. Each of the children had their own bedroom along with their own bathroom so they were absolutely thrilled. We didn’t bother with the air conditioning and we preferred to open the windows and let the sea breeze blow in and fan us to sleep. Would we go back to Villa Antigoni? Absolutely yes! We’re already planning our return visit for next year (if not before). It’s the first holiday we’ve had were the boys have asked us time and time again if they could go back there. You never saw such sad faces as ours when the aeroplane took off for Leeds Bradford and flew over the island. There were tears in our eyes. (Many thanks by the way for taking us to the airport). So now it’s all over, the photos and videos are on the PC and the tans are starting to disappear. We would like to thank you enormously for your hospitality and for the service you provided. We will certainly keep in touch for our next visit. Once again a million thanks. We’ll be in touch soon. Pam, Phil, Ben and Luke

Excellent accueil des propriétaires de cette maison très bien tenue. Un jardin et une piscine très agréables. Des prestations de grande qualité. Notre séjour a été parfait.

Really enjoyed the villa and area. We have been there before. Some building work is about to be carried out in the next field which gave us one disturbed morning but apart from that all was well. Would use villa again. Wellcome pack was excellent.

Owner reply:
NO BUILDING WORKS IS ABOUT TO BE CARRIED OUT IN THE NEXT FIELD

The villa was everything we had hoped for. It was an excellent place to spend our honeymoon. We came to the island with a one week booked holiday but we weren't at all pleased with the hotel neither the place on the other side of the island. Fortunately the internet made us to find a perfect little spot away from everything normal on a holiday. What we found was just perfect for couples hanging out themselves like we did, or with families wanting a very nice and quiet environment to spend their holiday in. Although we booked the villa while already there, everything went well and we can honestly recommend this place to whomever wants a bit of luxury on their vacation.

A beautiful villa in a wonderful position. We had a lovely holiday and will definately be returning! The villa owners could not have been more helpful and a special mention has to be given to Skevi who was so caring and nice during our holiday. Full marks for everything and thank you for a lovely holiday!
