Limassol holiday village house details
Accomodation
The stone village house offers traditional surroundings in a comfortable environment with all modern facilities.
2 spacious bedrooms – one double room and one twin – are provided, together with bathroom, cloakroom, dining area, and a comfortable sitting room with a large fully fitted kitchen.
The fitted kitchen has an oven, cooker, hob, microwave, washing machine and fridge-freezer, in addition to plentiful cupboard space and crockery etc.
Modern amenities are provided, including television, dvd/video, stereo.
Outside the ground floor is a large raised terrace overlooking the hills and valleys down towards Akrotiri Bay. Upstairs, there is a traditional, covered, sit-out balcony stretching the full length of the house, linking the 2 bedrooms.
All the bedrooms and living rooms benefit from beautiful views to the South and the West, and also all have glazed doors with shutters, opening on to either the balcony or the terrace.
The house has its own vine. Bordering the property are pomegranates, lemons and figs.
Furnished to a high standard inside and out, with pine floors, beams and ceilings; very comfortable accommodation is provided for a maximum of 4 persons. The main bedroom has a queen-size four-poster bed, with the guest bedroom having 2 large single beds. Each bedroom has handmade, pine, built-in wardrobes. A small bathroom with bath (shower over), wc and basin has its own stunning view of the hills.
There is a separate cloakroom with wc and basin on the ground floor.
The house and the village benefit from spectacular views over the surrounding hills to the sea; but the elevated terrace and rocky terrain mean that this location is unsuitable for young children or people with reduced mobility.
Vouni Village
Although the accommodation is secluded and private, it is only two hundred metres from the centre of the village, the imposing local church, and major amenities. Local water, air, and produce are clean, clear, natural and nourishing. The street outside used to be the major (donkey) route into the village before the combustion engine, but to get to the front doors these days requires a good 4-wheel drive – anything else and you are advised to park at the bottom of the hill.
A CAR IS ESSENTIAL.
Vouni is a village with an important local history stretching from antiquity as the centre of the major wine-making region of Cyprus. Today it is a picture-postcard village, with a mix of imposing features, lovely renovations, and fascinating ruins. You will see Vouni in Microsoft’’s Encarta Encyclopaedia, and the Belz’ tourist guide as the singlular image used to represent the traditional Cypriot village. Still unspoiled, it is one of the 2 “conservation” villages in the whole of Cyprus, and has dominating views all the way to the Mediterranean Sea at Akroti Bay.
Vouni is the home of the Cyprus Donkey Sanctuary, but there is a staggering population of plants, animals, birds, reptiles, and insects, which include the local goats and bewildering variety of lizards. Throughout the year the changing seasons are mirrored in the local flora, from the beautiful almond blossoms in the spring, to the autumn colours of the vines.
The village boasts 3 tavernas, 3 cafeneos (where the local men gather to play backgammon), an artists’ gallery, and a general store. Vouni is a centre for fascinating walks, local flora and fauna, and authentic Cypriot culture.
Location
Located midway between the quiet blue flag beaches and ancient sites of the superb southern coast, and the secluded monasteries and natural treasures of the Troodos mountains, Vouni Haven offers a unique holiday experience at the relaxed pace of traditional village life. The authentic rustic charm, crystal air, nature, and local culture offer an added dimension compared to more typical holiday locations.
The village is at the heart of the ancient wine region of Cyprus. It shares a beautiful climate with the rest of the island but at 2000ft altitude, the air is clearer and local breezes relieve the extreme heat at the height of summer.

Limassol holiday village house reviews
Linda says: "Our family of four spent a week at Vouni Haven over the New Year. This was a great relaxing Holiday for us. We mixed day trips to the cost, to see the larger cities and the fantastic archiological and historical sites, with days in the rodos area hiking in the Trodos Mountains, visiting, villages, wineries and Monastaries. The Vouni Haven home was a perfect location. The home was truely a home - it did not feel like a "rental" but more like we were using a friends home. The inside is very nicely decorated and all the appliances/bathrooms etc. were very clean and modern. The terrace provided a nice view to the seting sun! We were very happy and would highly reccomnend this to our friends."
