About this property

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Casson

Host profile image
My husband and I and our family lived and worked for many years in Cyprus, so we know the island very well. We eventually decided to buy a small holiday property and realised it would have to be in the Akamas area, as it's the most beautiful and unspoilt part of the island. We purchased the house in 2002 and used it extensively as a bolt-hole for weekends, as well as for longer holidays. Although we are now retired and living in France, we regularly revisit Cyprus as we have friends in the village and miss the friendliness of the local people.

Why they chose this property

Having discovered this part of the island many years earlier, we returned two or three times a year from our home near Larnaca, in order to camp by the beach in Polis Chrysochou. There was no contest about location once we had decided to buy a property of our own. We love the simple lifestyle and quiet location well away from the tourist areas and concrete jungle that is now Pahos; not to mention some wonderful restaurants in the area. A traditional village house with it's quirky features was more attractive to us than a modern villa with a pool. The beaches are near at hand! It provided sheer escapism from our busy lifestyle!

What makes this property unique

Our village of Kritou Tera is located in a stunning position overlooking Polis, with easy access to Polis, Latchi and Paphos, as well as the beaches and mountains. We love visiting the beaches but didn't want to live near them and their inherent bustle, potential development and traffic. Kritou Tera is a perfect location in which to enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside, observe (and even get involved in) the local way of life and be surrounded by wonderful walking and cycling country with fabulous views.
The panoramic views from our terrace, veranda and balcony are simply outstanding, as you will gather when reading our reviews.
