Testimonials

Dear Erika and Darren,

"Thank you for letting us stay at your beautifully appointed villa. We really enjoyed it and are planning a return next year. There is so much more to explore. We thought Kyrenia Harbour was great, as well as the Gothic ruins of Bellapais Abbey. Next time we are hoping to go for some guided walks in the 'five finger mountains'.

We loved the swimming pool at your villa, and the roof terrace. It was ideal for a bar-be-que. The place is so spacious, and with the individual air conditioning in every room it could not be better. The villas are quite seperate from the main block and nice and quiet, so we had a good rest on the days when we chose not to go out. A bonus is the left-hand traffic on the island, so we did not have to get used to driving on the right."

"I wanted to write and thank you for the use of your fabulous villa during our recent golf break to TRNC. We found your accommodation beautiful and excellent value for money and finished to a standard we hadn’t really expected! The golf was fantastic too. I have been privileged enough to play on many, many courses both in the UK and further afield and I can safely say that Korineum has become one of my all-time favourites! It is a beautiful course with some very scenic and very challenging holes for any standard of golfer. We had 18 golfers in our group and everyone agreed it was one of the best golfing experiences that had ever had. What made it even better was the quality of the facilities and the friendliness of the staff too. Turtle Bay Village has some really good facilities too, although we didn’t have time to try them all and we look forward to returning next year to put this right. Once again, many thanks!"

Hi Erika and Darren,

Thank you for an excellent week at your villa, it is beautiful and had everything we could wish for, we had to want for nothing.

Your guide to where to visit and the places to eat was brilliant, I fell in love with the chicken bhoona at the Indian restaurant (world class) - we had 3 visits! Once again thanks for arranging the car hire, it was trouble free and a real stress saver for us.

We spent a lot of time bird watching which is something we love, we spotted many old favourites and some that were new to us. Sitting by the pool we observed more than twenty species, we would recommend the villa as an ideal base for bird watching and walking.

To summarise, the villa, the location, the food and friendly and helpful locals made for an excellent holiday!

Dear Erika and Darren,

What a week and what a villa! The place is so well positioned with the

large living room with huge glass doors leading to the pool

overlooking the ravine. My favourite view though, is from a lilo in

the pool, taking in views of the sea one minute, the mountains the

next, fantastic!

I also found time to play at the nearby Korineum golf course and I

would say it compares with the best in Spain and Portugal (the greens

were too good for me!). Thanks again, we'll be back!

Excellent!

The villa was beautiful and the pool even better - my son Adam was delighted and all those hours spent on internet made it worthwhile.

We ate in the bistro twice, first time better than second and the price went up slightly on second visit. We used the shop and shopped at Starling (which is quite new) and Tempo. We packed a lot in: public beaches, private beaches, water sports, riding, Bellapais Abbey, boat trip out of harbour, tried to get to Karpas Peninsula using coastal road and other tracks - did not get there but was quite an adventure! Turtle project - saw the baby turtles helped out to sea - about 20 of them. Few restaurants - St Kathleens, Harbour restaurant etc. Good lunch at Escape Beach and kids loved Accapulco, we went to Vogue Beach club for watersports (which were good) but the place has been neglected (financial) which is a shame as it could be great. Try dive scuba dive with Blue Dolphin (based at Jasmine Court Hotel) for my son and husband - the English instructor was very good especially with my son. A day on Lara and another on Kaplica beaches. Market on the Wednesday, good for fresh produce. Tried the driving range at Golf Club - very nice location. Very hot, someone told us it reached 45 degrees one day!

The villa is set in a wonderful location and has the most amazing views of both the sea and the mountains.

The outside has a lovely large pool and plenty of other space that we used to play games and run around with our small children. The villa was really well equipped and had plenty of space for entertaining small children during the midday sunshine hours. It has a really good layout for families and small children as we used the two bedrooms downstairs with their own bathroom. Whereas the Grandparents stayed upstairs with a beautiful en-suite away from our early morning risers!

The complex was really easy to find as we drove over from Southern Cyprus and found the amenities within the complex fantastic. Our daughter enjoyed playing the mini golf and spent lots of time on the park which was really clean and safe. The Bistro on the complex served delicious food cooked on the BBQ and also had some bean bags on the grassed area so you can really relax after dinner. The nearby golf course is set in a beautiful location and the prices for a round or just an afternoon on the driving range were quite reasonable. The food there is fantastic and also reasonably priced.

We had a lovely holiday and are really looking forward to returning in the future.

Thank you

Simon, Georgina, Alexandra(2.5) and Lucas(6 months).
