This two bedroomed holiday apartment is one of two privately owned award-winning apartments on the first floor in the new, luxury, Limnaria Villas residential complex in Kato Paphos. It is blessed with light throughout the day - ideal especially to enjoy the winter.
The balcony faces south-east round to west and there are windows to the living area round to south and west.
However, there are heat-reflecting shutters throughout, as well. The bedrooms are on the cool side of the building.
The apartment is fully furnished for four adults; there are also two blow-up mattresses with sleeping bags for two further guests - for children?...or maybe for adults who want to sleep on the balcony....?
See also Property ID 134 for the 3-bedroomed apartment.

Parking: ample off-road parking, located on a slip-road, not a through road.
The site has easy, non-complicated, access to Paphos airport and is about 15-20 minutes distant by car.
The central tourist area of town, harbour area and nightlife areas are around 10-15 minutes walk away.
The site is set back 4-5 minutes walk from the main coast road.
This side of the road is a small, colonnaded shopping complex with piazza-style restaurants, car hire and excursion bureaux, a small foodmarket for basics and some other tourist shops for sandals, T-shirts etc. There are a number of other restaurants, including Chinese.
Across the road is the beach (Blue Flag) and beach restaurant. In season water sports equipment and water-based excursions e.g. diving, parasailing, can also be found here.
From the beach there is a sea-side walk into the town, which is away from the traffic and gives beautiful views of the harbour, Lusignan fortress and lighthouse as well as being bordered by flowers in season.
Shortly before the road are tennis courts and on the opposite side is the (4*) Alexander the Great hotel, with its fitness facilities and heated swimming pool for those who stay for longer periods or in winter.
Being out of the centre, though in walking distance, parking is also no problem. However, it is not necessary to hire a car for your stay unless you wish to take tours around the island. Buses run along the coast road into both Kato Paphos and the upper town, as well as along the coast to the Tombs of the Kings and Coral Bay.
What our guests say...
"Probably the best equipped apartment in Cyprus!" (SJ, Bavaria, November 2005)
"We had an amazing time! The apartment was spotless and very comfortable and had a lovely aspect.
We made quite a few acquaintances with the other residents on our daily pilgrimage beside the pool! Which just added to the whole atmosphere of the place. We will most definitely be back and would recommend it to anyone!"
(JS, Cheltenham, June 2005)
