Traditional Stone House, Garden Terrace Spectacular Views Mountains & Coastline

If you would like to experience a fast disappearing way of life, then this is the place to stay. The traditional village of Kritou Tera, tucked away from the usual tourist trail, yet with easy access to both mountains and beaches, can provide an insight into traditional Cypriot culture. The property is located on the edge of this compact village close to the Akamas National Park, with delightful views over sea and mountains. Situated at 500 metres above sea level, the climate is perfect in the hot summer months. The Cyprus Environment Centre is housed in the old village school indicating the value of this location for anyone interested in the natural environment and the habitat of the flora and fauna. Many organised walking and bird watching holidays are based in the Akamas, with it's variety of coastal paths or high level walks, all with spectacular views. Excellent base for mountain biking in Akamas or the Troodos Mountains. The recently refurbished Droushia Heights Hotel in the neighbouring village, provides an amazing infinity pool which is open to the public all day, if guests purchase drinks, snacks or meals there. So, the Jacaranda is a perfect location for either an energetic or restful break.

Sep 18, away from it all !!
We had a lovely three week stay and can not thank Mark and Agnes who live opposite enough for all their help, support and wonderful company. Our thanks to Ellen, and to John and his team who were available on site when needed. Kind regards, Danny & Anne

Away from it all above the sea
Very pleasant stay despite the noisy dogs in the house opposite. We much preferred the western side of the island (and the mountain interior) to the over-developed eastern end.

Jacaranda more than came up to our expectations.It was exactly what it said on the label.
We were more than happy and very comfortable in Jacaranda. The position and views were wonderful. Eating out on the patios in complete privacy in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere made for a very relaxing holiday. There are so many places of interest within a short driving distance. A car is an absolute must as the village is isolated and I never noticed a bus service. Everything we needed was available in the house. We liked it so much that we hope to make a return visit next year.

Relaxing stay in a traditional Cypriot village
The property has all the facilities we needed. The neighbours across the road were very welcoming and made some good suggestions about places to visit. We came mainly for the wild flowers and the area is certainly a hot spot for orchids.

A comfortable house with character, tucked out of the way in a small village with great views.
The house is great, comfortable and quirky. Even in October we still spent most mornings on one of the two patios in the hot sun admiring the incredible views and reading. The house catches the breeze which is a huge advantage. We like to be a away from the tourist traps at the coast but if you want to be able to walk out to a selection of bars and restaurants this isn't the place for you. Polis is not very far away and it has a good range of supermarkets, bars and restaurants but you can't walk to it. There are restaurants nearer than Polis and Ellen recommends some in the information provided. We would recommend the Vasilikon vineyard at Kathikas were we had an excellent lunch and some great wine. It's an old house that has been renovated well In a historic village, it is relatively easy to find if you follow the excellent directions provided (complete with pictures), it was clean, and had everything you needed. great holiday

Lovely relaxing holiday
Lovely traditional Cypriot villa set in a very very quiet village. Like most villages, investment in developing them is gradually being put into the village, for example a new Taverna. Their is a small village shop and coffee shop, but they weren't open during our stay in September. Neighbour's dogs were occasionally noisy during the night. Overall very pleasant stay in a nice traditional property. Would recommend.

lovely rural property
The property is in the small village of Kritou Tera......it is beautifully situated with stunning views from the upper terrace.....it is well supplied and very quaint with outdoor access to the bedroom.....it also has a beautiful small garden and a sunny patio...it was spotlessly clean and exactly as described online....the owners provided a photographic list of directions which were very helpful and their representative was there to meet us A car is essential as we never found the village shop open.......an adequate supermarket is on the way to Polis which many restaurants,shops etc.....approx. 20min drive.....we found the nicest beaches near Latchi (approx. 25min drive) in particular La Plage which has several breakwaters and so is calmer than the ones at Latchi harbour.....many restaurants there too From Kritou Tera is also very easy to reach Paphos....the archeological site is well worth a visit as is the one at Kourion, although it is a longer drive... As a holiday home it is ideal if you prefer to be away from the very developed areas but it does mean a drive everywhere even to the neighbouring villages

Unterkunft Kritou Tera Zypern - NIE WIEDER!!!!
Als meine Frau und ich ankamen, öffnete ich die Eingangstüre und es begrüßte uns ein derart unangenehmer, beissender chemische Gestank. Wir dachten zuerst, dass das Haus längere Zeit nicht vermietet war und es am Lüften lag. Also, alle Türen und Fenster geöffnet. Der Geruch wurde zwar erträglicher, verschwand jedoch nicht ganz und sobald Fenster und Türen für längere Zeit (z.B. Tagesausflug, abends, wenn es draußen kalt wurde, etc.) geschlossen waren, kam dieser intensive Gestank zurück. Im Schlafzimmer und Bad, das sich im oberen Stockwerk befand, war dieser Geruch nicht. Zur Sauberkeit des Hauses: Was als erstes auffiel, war der NICHT geleerte Aschenbecher im Schlafzimmer, obwohl "Rauchen untersagt ist", im offenen Kamin war noch jede Menge Asche, die klebrigen, dreckigen Lichtschalter. Als nächstes, was auffiel, waren die verbeulten zerkratzten Pfannen mit wackeligem Griff, verschmutzte Gläser und Geschirr, Eis und Dreck im Gefrierfach, Dreck in den Schubläden und Schränken der Küche, das Brösel-Auffangblech im Toaster quoll über, die Arbeitsplatte neben dem Gasherd war klebrig, der Waschpulverbehälter der Waschmaschine schimmelte, die Toilette "unten" dreckig, in der Dusche befanden sich Haare im Ablauf, usw. und usw. Ich habe mehr als fünfzig Fotos gemacht, die ich leider hier nicht posten kann. Auch habe ich Frau Ellen Casson direkt per Mail von den Mängeln in Kenntnis gesetzt. Frau Casson tat sehr verwundert und begründete es mit Corona Erkrankung des Hausmeisters.

Alles bestens, sehr gerne wieder.
Ruhig gelegen und mit dem schönen Garten für Kinder sehr gut geeignet. Sehr gut ausgestattetes Haus, besonders die neu eingebaute Küche. Verkehrsanbindung ist sehr gut, am Meer ist man innerhalb 15-20 Minuten mit dem Auto. Sehr freundlicher Vermieter, hilft in allen Belangen sofort.
