Everything was superb from the welcome pack to the visit to ask if we had enjoyed our stay. Second year of an excellent villa and have booked for the sister villa in 2021. Thanks for a great holiday even with the family unable to join us due to Covid-19.

The house was perfect, Booking process was great and owners were friendly
David Carey -Oct 2019
Most liked: Layout of the villa. We went with our son and daughter in law and two grandsons, so it was perfect for us to have the downstairs bedroom and en-suite and they had the upstairs, this gave everybody their own space and privacy. We were very impressed with how clean the villa was both inside and out and the owners did everything they could to ensure that we all had a great holiday. We really appreciated the delicious cake that were dropped in twice.
Samantha A -Aug 2019
Most liked: Wonderful villa. Every thing we had hoped for. Very clean and well equipped. Owner was a gem and at hand if needed and never had a villa where pool was cleaned nearly every day. Was unable to book for next year as already taken!! Booked Ellada 2 instead as must return as holiday was so fantastic.
Could be improved: To find any faults would be hard.

We really enjoyed yet another break at Ellada 1, it has become like coming home each time. Everything was just fine and we were really pleased. Very impressed once again with Getaway Villas!! Probably the best on line company we have ever dealt with, always efficient and helpful. We will be coming back to you again. Many thanks again.
John M -Oct 2018
Firstly, many thanks for dealing with my daughter and allowing my granddaughter to join us from Canada,to surprise me for my birthday. Wonderful.
The villa was all that we could have hoped for. It was clean, well presented, spacious and the service from the owner was extremely good. We did encounter a problem about which I contacted the owner on Sunday evening. Soon after 9.0 the next morning the problem was dealt with and resolved. Very impressive service. After this I received texts from the owner checking that all was well. We couldn't have asked for better.
Although a long walk up the hill in the heat, it was quiet with a lovely view.
My family would be happy to return to the villa should we come back to Paphos. All members of our party would happily recommend this venue, and the services of Getaway Villas.
Gill L -Sep 2018
We stayed at this villa back in 2014 and this time was just as relaxing. Having 4 young children this villa was idea with the cot, stair gates and high chair. Having our own pool was wonderful and being able to decide our own schedule. I will always choose a villa for holidays in future. The owners are wonderful leaving us a welcome pack and cleaning the pool nearly everyday. All in all a lovely villa in an excellent location.
Catherine M -Jul 2018
Great villa with helpful owners
David O -Jun 2018
Having stayed in the villa next door for the last 2 years this year we chose Villa Ellada-1. Once again a spotless villa welcomed us with a food basket including 2 bottles of wine, ham, bread and cheese. The villa itself overlooks the sea at the front and banana plantations at the back. It is very secluded making your stay a comfortable and quiet one. With a well maintained pool and large gardens, expect to spend a lot of time outdoors. The villa itself is located up a hill and a car is recommended should you wish to explore the island but there is a bus that goes from the bottom every 15 mins and will cost about 1 euro wherever you need to travel. Take a short walk into the village of Kissonerga and you will find a couple of small supermarkets, pharmacy and some local bars and tavernas. The villa itself is well equipped with everything you need and more and the views of the sunsets are spectacular. The owner pops in a couple of times to drop off biscuits and fruit and to make sure everything is ok and cleaned the pool every other day. The villa gets thoroughly cleaned every week. We have been to these villas for the last 3 years and would not hesitate to book again next year.
David S -Apr 2018
Lovely, and very clean, villa and pool with beautiful flowers in garden and sea views. Very impressed with welcome pack, just what we needed after arriving at 10:30pm. The owner was very helpful and friendly (many thanks).

Maureen L -Apr 2017
The villa was set in a stunning location and was very spacious and well kept and very welcoming with the host providing cake and wine upon our arrival. We had fantastic customer service the pool was cleaned daily, we were able to taste all the local fruits from the fruit trees and the villa was well placed for us to visit different attractions on the island including Tomb of the kings, Nicosia and Paphos Marina. Fantastic weather and fine dining added to our experience and it was a brilliant holiday, made easy by the beautiful and picturesque Ellada villa 1. It's a definate 5 stars from us!
Andy G -Apr 2017
The villa is spacious, spotless and very private.
John M -Sep 2016
Was a lovely villa spotlessly clean and the owner was a joy, nothing was too much trouble for her. Gardens and pool immaculate.
Donald K -Sep 2016
Villa very clean and spacious for we two, nice pool, glorious sunshine, chilled water dispenser very welcome! Very nice welcome pack, plus fresh pomegranates, bananas and pastries from the owner. Good accessories for pool; plenty of loungers and the lilo. Village of Kissonerga close, interesting place. Proximity to airport. Very good restaurants within walking distance for us. We have already passed on details of the villas 1 and 2 to family.
Alan b -Oct 2015
Owner was fabulous. Could not do enough to help and only dropped by once to ensure everything was Ok with a box of biscuits. Best welcome pack ever!!! Soap in every toilet. Tea and coffee supplied for full week with laundry tablets. Best equipped villa we have ever gone to:)
Sharon B -Aug 2015
We had a lovely two weeks at the villa which was exceptionally clean and the welcome pack the owner left was a nice thought and much appreciated. The Harmony restaurant at the end of the street is well worth a visit lovely food and very friendly staff. Oniro's restaurant just beyond Coral Bay is also a must do as is St Georges beach and Latchi marina. If you do nothing else on your holiday make sure you visit Latchi and get the boat trip to the Blue Lagoon this was the best experience ever with a bbq thrown in and snorkeling/swimming for 2 and half hours excellent value at 35 euros each.
Most liked: The cleanliness of the villa and welcome pack
Dallas T -Jul 2015
This was our second stay at this villa in 2 years and we couldn't fault anything. Very clean throughout, nice seating areas. Plenty of loungers around the pool and enclosed enough for children. Also having the roman steps into the pool is a massive bonus for smaller children. The owners were amazing bringing fresh biscuits, bananas and tomatoes around. We had an issue with an electric fan upstairs, it was dealt with and replaced within the hour, I don't think we would get service like this anywhere else. We have already started looking at coming back next year. Thanks again for a wonderful stay.
Mark C -May 2015
We stayed from at the lovely villa from the 18/10/2014 until the 25/10/2014, and we had a really great time, the owner was great, really friendly. The villa was really clean, lovely spacious rooms with clean pool. We would recommend the villa to anyone.

Modern villa with exceptionally high level of cleanliness. This villa sets a very high standard and will be hard to beat. Future villas will always be compared to this villa. Loved the pool, gardens and Kissonegra village. loved it all.

The friendliness and helpfulness of the owner was brilliant. Facilities were great and could not be faulted - everything you could hope for
Christina M - April 2014
Most liked: The villa was beautiful and the outside view from the villa was lovely. Nice compact garden and a private pool which was cleaned every morning.

There was a starter pack in fridge on our arrival,eggs,cheese,ham,Flora spread,marmalade,bread, milk and a bottle of wine, cartons of juice, and a large fruit bowl containing bananas and oranges.

Caroline B - September 2013
We found this villa by accident after spending hours looking around for a decent sized villa for all 6 of us, what a fantastic find it was. We stayed here for a week in June 2013 as we we're attending a wedding in Cyprus so we booked the Ellada 1 and other family members booked into Ellada 2 next door, all of us have commented on how clean, tidy and well thought out the villas are. The pool is the best we have seen and very well maintained, was cleaned twice during the week by the owner's son. The owners are extremely helpful and "thanks again for the biscuits and fruit". We have already started looking at going again next year to the exact same villa we liked it that much. Very well thought out design for both villas, makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in. Would definitely recommend these villas to friends and family who want to visit cyprus, ideal location between Paphos and Coral Bay what more could you ask for.
Mark C - June 2013
The facilities in the villa were excellent but we liked having the pool to ourselves the best. The gardens were beautiful and very well kept. The kindness of the owners in bringing us little treats during the week was very welcome.
We might book again
We will recommend to family and friends
Carol and Russell - May 2013
Close to local community with shop and Chemist, bars and places to eat nearby. Excellent restaurant 5 minutes walk away. Excellent sea views with beautiful sunsets from one balcony. Coral Bay with bars, restaurants and shows less than 10 minutes drive away

Derek L - Ellada may 2013
The villa not only met expectations but far exceeded them. The pool area was quite beautiful with excellent pool furniture and the sea view was stunning. The villa itself was spotless with every facility provided. Also,the personnel back up service by the owner was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble for her.
Richard Witt, March 2013
Villa Ellada 1 is a fantastic holiday home. It has everything you would possibly need and more! The view from the balconies, villa or pool is beautiful, straight out over local fruit trees to the sea. The owners are hugely helpful in every way, we were left bananas, bread, cakes and coming home presents!! Amazing holiday and will definitely consider returning.

This villa is very impressive, exceptionally clean. Having hired villas in Florida I thought no where else could beat them.
However !!
The personal touches here are second to none .
The owners are very helpful. Small gifts from the market were very appreciated .Also they were not intrusive at all .
This villa is exceptional value for money

The owners of the villa did a superb job making sure that the pool/garden were clean and maintained. We had a wedding party at the villa and they went out of their way to decorate for us - an absolute treat. They couldn't have done any more for us.
Gareth S -Sep 2010
"The villa was amazing, much better than we expected" Mrs Hockey July 2010
The villa had everything you needed and we liked the way the the pool was cleaned every day. There was a bus stop at the bottom of the hill to go to Pafos town or coral bay which was about 5 to 10 mins bus ride either way. Great views off the balconey and from the villa. An overall great place.
K Tong - June 2010
We had a brilliant holiday, we couldn't of asked for anything more, the owners were brilliant, they couldn't do enough for you, and the cleanliness of the villa was out of this world, it was so clean and fresh and the pool was cleaned every day, it was just brilliant!!!! Can't wait to come back next year.
We will recommend to family and friends.
Gary M - July 2010
We had a very pleasant stay at the villa. It's exactly as we expected but better. The owners are absolutely lovely and cannot do enough for you and if you do have any problems they will sort them immediately. They bring you lots of fruit and cakes! Love it. We would definitely go back. Great value for money.
Nancy CG - Jun 10
Villa Ellada was beyond my dreams. It looked perfect on the website but when you see the views and the villa in real life you will be stunned.

Martin & Diane H - Jul 09
The villa was great! All the home comforts you could wish for. The owners made sure we had everything we needed and couldn't have been more helpful if they tried. The welcome pack was a pleasant surprise and really great to arrive to as we we arrived late in the evening. My favourite part of the villa was the pool. lying by the pool all day and barbequing at night made our weeks stay pure bliss.
Kirsty M - Jun 09
I could honestly not praise this villa high enough. It is in a fantastic location and the facilities are second to none. The owners are the most hospitable couple you will ever meet.

Hi Caroline
We had a fantastic holiday (Cyprus villa ellada 7-14 may) the couple who own the villa were so kind and we had everything we needed and more. We would like to say a big thank you to you for your quick correspondance in all matters including changing our dates when our flight times altered. We will definitely recommend your site to our family and friends.
John and Lorna - May 08
Villa Elada 1 is a lovely villa - well equipped and well maintained locally - we have never stayed in a villa that has been so thoroughly cleaned before and during our stay! It was spotless.
The pool was kept beautifully clean as well and was maintained daily. It was nice to see that bits and pieces bought by previous occupiers had
been left behind (like soap/washing powder/tin foil etc) making it feel rather homely! ...
The Harmony restaurant down the road is good value, does good food and run by very friendly staff and is easily walkable from the villa.
For a decent supermarket ask the owner and he will direct you to the Papantoniou in Chlorakas which is closer/easier than going to Kato Pafos even if it's not quite as big, it does sell everything...
