Most liked: Visiting this wonderful villa for the fourth time was as pleasurable as every other. Fantastic panoramic views in the mornings, a generous pool to cool off in, and an abundance of wildlife in the beautifully kept gardens.

We had a wonderful stay at Zephyrus, it is a beautiful villa and suited us down to the ground ! The location is superb

Paul O -Dec 2018
This is the second time we have been to this villa and yet again we have had an amazing holiday. Your bookings team have been fantastic and extremely helpful throughout the whole booking process.
The owner could not have been more helpful, we requested a late departure as we have a 19 month Granddaughter and we were catching a late flight, she responded back to me very quickly and allowed us to stay until 4pm free of charge.
Susan B -Jul 2018
As always villa stunning and perfect location, love the new beds and dining furniture, an improvement on what we had last time.
6th time in this villa tells you all you need to know, stunning property in a stunning location, great service
Glyn F -Jul 2018
We spent 2 weeks at Zephyrus and loved every minute of it. It was so peaceful. The lizards were great. I named one of the larger ones Lucky, as I rescued it from the bottom of the pool one day. The villa has everything you need and the water cooler was a welcome addition. We enjoyed the privacy, but also knew who to contact should we have any problems. We had some fun the temporary road closures, but this is Cyprus after all :) We liked the villa so much, we have already booked again for next year. We would definitely recommend this villa if you are looking for a relaxing holiday away from it all.
Lisa M -Jun 2018
Most liked: Waking up to the breath-taking panoramic view from the villa across the valley and to the hills was a pleasure for us each and every day. The silence wants to make you hold your breath and just appreciate the birdsong. We've been twice, once with family and once as a couple, and are returning again with family in a few months. An absolute find.
Least liked: There is not much to dislike, the layout is fine the pool is fantastic and the facilities are everything you would need, I am struggling to pick a fault.
Audrey J -May 2018
Had everything that you could possibly need. Very quiet which we enjoyed

A beautiful secluded family villa with every amenity. A short drive away is the beautiful village of Kathikas ,which has several 1st class restaurants catering for everybody's taste,all realistically priced (You must try the Farmyard Restaurant).
John S -Jun 2017
A very comfortable villa with an amazing level of privacy. The silence was wonderful. All we heard was the birds singing. And the view of the hillside and the sea was so peaceful. A marvellous place to recover from doing too much. The kitchen was well fitted out with everything you could want,the bed was very comfortable, the shower was powerful and hot and the lighting throughout was excellent. We loved it and are already talking about returning next year.
Jane H -Nov 2016
We had a fabulous time. The villa was perfect, clean and lived up to expectations, we would certainly use you again.
Sandra P -Oct 2016
We have now arrived back from Cyprus having had a really lovely holiday. Wall to wall sunshine there of course - shame the same cannot be said of this country! We loved the situation of the house in a small village but within easy reach of Kathikas Polis and Paphos and to the major roads around the island. The house was great and for us was well placed - in the slightly less humid hills and away from the frenetic activity at some of the coastal areas! It was a really nice house and pool and was well looked after too. Loved the array of lizards and other wildlife in the beautiful garden - we named all the lizards and enjoyed their company!
Susan D -Jul 2016
Upon arrival at Villa Zephyrus my twenty eight year old daughter skipped with sheer delight around the building! Something I have not seen her do since she was a girl. We felt like film stars on holiday just because of the setting. So beautiful, a true get away from reality. The out door area is lovingly maintained by the caretakers as is the pool and we are so glad we had it heated as the grand children played in it day and night.
We booked this villa because it was just ten minutes drive from the Ayii Anargryi where our daughter was getting married. Eight of us stayed at the villa (six adults and two children) and we at no time felt on top of each other. The villla offers ample space to find solitude in; it also offers wonderful sunrises on one side and beautiful sunsets on the other. The wild life is enchanting and we all fell in love with the lizards which scurry around the grounds. The villa felt secluded but not isolated and very safe.
I would recommend the location for wedding parties attending services at the Ayii Anargryi (a stunning venue). A car is essential if you want to travel out and for provisions but the welcome hamper was very comprehensive and welcome; covering everything we required in the short term (Our thanks). The villa is obviously loved by the caretakers and we fell in love with it too.
We intend to return to Cyprus as a family in the future and I am sure Villa Zephyrus will be on the agenda. We enjoyed sharing time here as a family. We left the villa with regret that we could not stay on and the island relaxed, tanned and feeling spiritually rejuvenated. The Cypriot sunshine was wonderful but the environment we stayed in magical.

Villa had everything we needed and was in a beautiful and peaceful location. Breathtaking views of surrounding countryside.
Mary and Tony H - May 2014
Liked the ease of visiting the local villages. The villa was really well equipped and all our needs/requirements were met. The local agents supplied us with an Easter gift of home made traditional bread which we all enjoyed.
Roger & Norma Pheasant - April 2014
Wonderful location and views - totally private but not isolated. Villa very spacious and well equipped (especially the kitchen which seemed to have everything if you looked hard enough in the cupboards!). Very generous welcome pack. Lovely lounge area with views to the pool and beyond. Lots of choice of indoor and outdoor dining areas, with plenty shade available. Lovely big warm pool (we paid for pool heating and it was worth the extra). We loved it and booked immediately for the same week next year!
Dudley Family - October 2013
If you are looking for a quiet remote holiday this is the spot for you. A short walk will get you a traditional morning coffee in the local herb garden or a short drive to Kathikas will see you right for a cold beer, great food and shopping.

The villa is in a wonderful secluded location with amazing views and lots of space. We had a fantastic week most of which was spent in the lovely pool or by the BBQ. We loved the peace and quiet and enjoyed all the games including the table tennis and table football. Many thanks.

This was the 4th time we have stayed at Villa Zephyrus so the pleasant surprise noted below refers to the new decor, TV and the great fun we had playing table tennis. The "As expected" for the region refers to how well we now know (And love)the area.
Most liked: The ambience and space in the Villa. In spite of having clouds and thunderstorms for the first two days of our stay, we were very comfortable and relaxed to stay in until the weather improved.

Paul D-S - May 2013
This Villa was all about the pool, the size is bigger than usual and although we paid for pool heating it was worth every penny. It meant the pool was used every day including late at night. Much attention has been paid to the grounds and pool area which was excellent; it made the holiday. There are numerous choices of dining areas and the house lay-out works well.

The villa offers easy access to coastal regions on both the west and the north of the island. The mountain location means that evening temperatures are very pleasant after the heat of the day.

A Muitt - July 2011
We stayed in villa Zephyrus and already can not wait to go back. This luxury villa is even better than in the pictures. It is spacious, well equipped and comfortable. It is a dream villa to stay in with a wonderful pool and an outside BBQ area. I can not praise the villa and Getaway enough - this made our holiday amazing and I would definitly recommend for families. Thank you to Getaway for making our holiday wonderful. The welcome pack provided was much appreciated as we did not get to the villa until 2am and could not find an open shop for supplies. A fantastic villa with picturesque views - you will need to hire a car as you would expect due to the location of the villa. Everything was perfect!!!

Great location and views, superb drive down the valley towards Polis. Lovely gesture of a homemade easter gift and bags of oranges from the owners/caretakers. Pool was lovely and warm.

The outdoor space was excellent with plenty of beds and seating, good shade and excellent outdoor cooking and dining areas - hard to better. Also loved the view form the ensuite shower - showering at home will never be as good! Excellent service from enquiry to travelling, really impressed with the admin side of things.
A. Gaut - September 2010
4 of us set of for a relaxing 2 weeks in a villa with everything you could wish for home from home.Zephyrus is a great place to just recharge you batteries its so peaceful you don't hear anything but the birds and crickets, We would like to recommend the farmhouse restaurant in Kathikis.
The Warnerford and Pearson families - June 2010
Villa Zephyrus was in a very pleasent location located closer than we realised to the airport and local villages and in fact Coral Bay. The villa was very good with most creature comforts catered for ie great showers, easy to use air con, no end of cooking implements. Beds were very comfy. Could get a little windy in the evening 'hence its name' however winds soon droppped. All in all a very well kept/ modern villa. Everything we would expect.
Parry - May 10
The Villa is well constructed, spacious and cool in the sun, yet the heating warms the building very quickly on cool evenings. The views from the pool and main bedroom balcony are beautiful and uninterrupted.
Paul D-S - April 09
It was a perfect escape for us. Ideal and we shall return. Loved the views and the taverna down the road.
Bridgeet S - April 09
Least liked: Jack crying on our way to the airport as didn't want to leave 'our house'. Thought he had a new family as had been grape picking with Christos and family!
Most liked: There was nothing you hadn't thought of to put in your villa. The phone was inspired (even though we used our own). The sofas and beds were comfortable, the flyscreens were excellent and the pool was the cleanest one I have come across .... Jack loved the water pistols and the goggles. I loved the books. Hope you enjoy reading mine. The dishwasher works and the toilets flushed. Heaven. Basically, loved your house. Christos was charming. I'll email some photos so you can get them to him. All in all, fantastic. Thank you.

Having previously used some of the larger Villa companies I found that Getaway Villas offers much better value for money. The Villa facilities were very good and the location was peaceful, private and secluded. The 'Welcome Pack' was comprehensive, which was especially appreciated as we arrived late in the evening, and we did not need to think about shopping until the next day. A perfect customer experience and I therefore have no hesitation in recommending Getaway Villas. Steven G, Aug 06
Hi Caroline
We just wanted to thank you for a wonderful time on our stay at Zephyrus.
The villa was prefect for us , it was just what we were looking for.
The flowers, champagne and card were absolutely beautiful and very much appreciated, Thanks.
Frosos and christos were a great help, not only were they both very good at their jobs but they also helped us with other problems as well. On the Monday after we arrived our baby was ill. We were trying to find the pharmacy and they gave us the directions and then the next day she was worse so he then gave us the directions to a paediatrician which was a great help. Then we were trying to arrange taxi's and a wedding car for the wedding day and they gave us their brothers Vasilios's number. He was really helpfully and did a great job. Also your father in law was extremely nice every few days he would bring us fresh farm eggs and bags of fresh oranges.
We can really recommend the restaurant that we had our wedding meal in.
It
was the Petradaki in kathikas and almost everyone said it was one of the best meals they had ever had. The couple that run it set my tables out beautifully they set out my table plans, favours for guests, balloons confetti along the middle of the table it was great. So professional.
The black book was a great help anything and everything we needed was in it.
I hope you don't mind but i added a business card for the baby equipment hire company. It was great thanks for finding them for us. it was an older english couple who moved out there 7 years a go. They were really nice, they delivered and collected the stuff form the villa with no problems.
the baby walker was brand new they actually pulled it out of the box and assembled it in front of us. It was a massive help having that in the villa it made such a difference to our holiday.
We went to some of the restaurants that people had recommended. I think it's really hard, people have such different ideas of whats a great meal.
We would say
* Petradaki - one of the best restaurants i have ever ate in. Clean, beautiful decor, traditional but modern theme and the service,portion sizes, prices and quality were all extremly good. Our children got free ice cream each night. Lots of brits that have moved over eat there - some travelling quite far. You should book in peak season as it was really busy in May.
*Arourous (in the centre of Kathikas) lots of parking, only do mezi - but very nice one, really traditional inside, traditional good atmosphere,really old and uncommercial, lot's of locals seem to eat there. Very good prices.
* Imogens - not great but not bad. not very big seemed a bit pushed for space.
meat tasted not very good quality. I ordered steak and it was like tesco value meat. Didn't really rate the staff but maybe they were having and off night as many others seemed to enjoy it.
*Amarkous farmhouse - well this was an experience. walk in ordered drinks and asked for menus ( no boards or price menus around) the waitress said "no menus you eat what Mama Angelo cook" then she turned around and walked away. she didn't ask if that was ok or anything you just took what you got.
the meal however was really nice, it was mezi style . it was a shame it was quite or i am sure the atmosphere would have been much better.
The village the villa is in is so nice. One day my sister was out a walk and she met an english women called Carol who lived there. They night before the wedding she came and gave me a full body aroma massage for an hour and a half and Martin my husband got a 40 minute Indian head massage.
Her prices were really good, we would both recommend her. Again i hope you don't mind but we left her card in the black book.
The whole villa and all the accessories were great quality. We were so glad we paid the extra to get the pool heated. The first night we arrived at 3am and My dad and Martin both jumped straight in. Then on a couple of nights through out the holiday we were in at night, it was lovely.
A few days before we left i was a bit worried that everyone's villas would be all right. I'm not sure if i told you but i only found your site by chance when i was looking for james villas. After we seen how reasonable you were compaired to them i told the other two groups that were going to the wedding about you. So a couple of days before i thought to myself " what if the villas aren't nice or if somethings wrong and it was me that found and recommened your company to some many people". Thankfully i had nothing to worry about the other two groups also loved their villas and everything was perfect for them as well. The wecolme packs were the best we have ever had and it is small things like a bottle of red wine to arrive to after a long journey that really made the differnce.
We would defenetly recommend you to any friends or family. Hopefully we will book with you again soon. thanks again.

The pool was wonderful, the villa well equipped, spacious, and beautifully situated. We had some lovely meals in the local tavernas and were drawn towards Polis for its cafes (our family liked the internet cafe particularly), shops and less touristy atmosphere. We enjoyed the wine-tasting at Sterna Winery and the beaches on the north coast.
