Aunt Marias stone-built house was fully restored in 2008 and separated into four independent units. The three-bedroom unit on the top level will satisfy the most discriminating taste. It has the feel of a stand-alone house It is at ground level at the entrance, and way above the street in the back with picture frame views all around.
 

The lower-level one-bedroom suites have entrances from the garden with large private patios and unobstructed views of the mountains. The garden suite also enjoys the view from the balcony.

All units are tastefully furnished, with antique and hand made Cypriot furnishings, have a fully equipped kitchen, AC and central heating for the winter, cable TV and WIFI. Aunt Maria always felt that she had the best spot in town and most people agree 

Lefkara (Lefka Ori - White Mountains) sits at a central point in Cyprus, near the half way mark of the highway joining Nicosia and Larnaca to Limassol. Perched in the limestone foothills of the Troodos Mountains at elevations ranging between 450 to 700 m, the villages of Pano Lefkara, Kato Lefkara and Kato Drys are just ten Kilometers from the Nicosia-Limassol highway and only 20 km from the blue flag beaches at Governors Beach.

They offer cool, dry weather, unspoiled country-side, and the opportunity to relax in a quiet, beautiful environment, and take short trips to the beach, the pristine woods of Machairas, the kionia mountain park and explore Cyprus. In Lefkara you will miss nothing but the humidity and the traffic lights.

Little churches in the countryside with dirt foot-paths leading to them offer rewarding destinations for an afternoon walk. Among them the chapel of Archangel Michael dating back to the 11th century. A designated nature trail joins Pano Lefkara and Kato Drys via the top of the Sotira hill commanding breathtaking views of the mountains and Villages around all the way to the Bay of Larnaca and the coast of Limassol.

The beautiful village of Lefkara boasts a unique architecture. Untouched by time, the narrow alleys and stone-built houses tell of the good-old times when Lefkara men traveled all over the globe selling needlework (Lefkaritika Kentimata) that the women produced at home. Sitting in groups outside their front doors, bent over small pillows on their laps, the women created exquisite embroideries on linen.

In Lefkara the front door closes only when the owners are away. Open doors let the cool air in and welcome friends and visitors in the courtyard, filled with an abundance of flowers

Review submitted by non-Villarenters customer: A real Lefkara welcome.

Spent a weekend in the West Apartment of this delightful complex at the beginning of June 2009 and I cannot recommend it enough. The attention to detail both in the design of the building and in the care that has been taken to ensure that guests have all their home comforts makes Aunt Maria’s a must for all those visitors to Cyprus who want to get away from ‘conveyor belt’ tourism.

We relaxed, explored the charming traditional village streets and didn’t want to leave! But the best thing I can say about Aunt Maria’s is once visited you will want to return.
