Traditional Stone Village Apartment With Private Courtyard
The spacious self contained apartment is located in a quiet road on the outskirts of Pentakomo village square. The balcony offers views of the sea across the village rooftops and unrestricted views of the Troodos mountains.
The apartment also benefits from a private courtyard which benefits from sunshine for most of the day and is a great space in which to relax, and from the balcony you can enjoy the spectacular sunsets over the mountains.
The villagers are very friendly and the square has a well stocked supermarket, butcher, bank, coffee shop and taverna.
Pentakomo is an exceptionally well located village for independent travellers who would like a base from which to explore the island while enjoying the authenticity of Cypriot life.
The Monastery and stunning beach cliffs at Agios Giorgos and the popular Governor's Beach and its numerous restaurants are both within 6kms from the village.
Limassol (15 mins) and Larnaca (30 mins) are within easy reach and many local historic attractions are very near by, including the Kalavassos Tenta (5 mins), UNESCO World Heritage site of Choirokoitia (10 mins) and the ancient ruins of Amathus (10 mins).

What a great little apartment. It was quirky but comfortable and very well equipped. We were looking for a quiet place to stay and found exactly what we were looking for. The village is lovely with a couple of decent Restaurants and a small supermarket, within easy reach of the coast and Limassol & Larnaca areas by car. The owner lives on site and was very helpful.
Sehr nette kleine Ferienwohnung und aussergewöhnlich schön. Es hat an nichts gefehlt, Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Unternehmungen ins Gebirge. Drei gute Tavernen direkt im Dorf.
Sehr netter Kontakt zu Vermieter. Wer es gemütlich und authentisch mag, ist hier gut aufgehoben.
Das ist eine wunderschöne, liebevoll ausgestattete Wohnung mit einem herrlichen Blick ins Land und der Möglichkeit zum Rückzug oder Kontakt zur wirklich reizenden Vermieterin, ganz nach Wunsch.
Die ruhige Wohnung ist über die Küstenautobahn sehr gut erreichbar und bietet so einen guten Ausgangspunkt für Entdeckungstouren über die Insel, sei es zum Wandern oder zu kulturellen Ereignissen.
Im Ort gibt es zwei Restaurants mit liebevoll zubereiteter zypriotischer Küche, selber Kochen ist also nicht nötig, aber möglich. Am Wochenende gibt es Live-Musik und die Gelegenheit, mit den Einheimischen in Kontakt zu kommen. Das ist recht einfach, denn hier spricht man auch englisch und die Leute vermitteln den Eindruck, daß sie sich über die Anwesenheit von Touristen freuen, da der Ort nicht überlaufen ist.
Wir werden wiederkommen.
Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen. Die Unterkunft und Lage des Objektes sind empfehlenswert. Julie und Phil waren außerordentlich freundlich, hatten immer ein offenes Ohr und gaben uns gute Tipps. Herzlichen Dank!

Get away from the crowds.
This little self contained apartment is spotlessly clean, and perfectly placed for a taste of Cypriot village life, and the bonus is you have your own enclosed suntrap courtyard.

Fantastisch / fantastic
Tolle Ferienwohnung in einem kleinen Dorf. Trotz aller Annehmlichkeiten ist der Charakter des alten Steinhauses erhalten geblieben, und liebevoll eingerichtet. Es ist traumhaft ruhig. Die Hilfsbereitschaft von Julie war großartig. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.
Thank you !
A fantastic holiday flat in a small village. Despite all the comforts the character of the old stone house has been preserved, and its lovingly furnished. It’s dreamlike quiet. Julie’s helpfulness was great. We’ll definitely come back

Peaceful retreat
Greeted and looked after well, accommodation clean and well catered for, only challenge was finding places to put bathroom items. Village was good as away from the main hubs with easy access to the motorway to go further afield, car recommended to explore the island. All in all would certainly consider staying again at Julie's place.

Lovely, peaceful village apartment
Stayed 11 days in the quiet hamlet of Pentakomo. Apartment has everything you need for a relaxing, comfortable stay, a great base to go out exploring. The village has 3 restaurants and a small but well equipped supermarket. A car is advisable to get the best experience on the island.
Would recommend

What can I say about our lovely break in the village of Pentakomo.
From the moment of booking our accommodation to arriving in the village and being met by Phil. nothing could have been better. Communication with Julie before arrival and meeting her was a pleasure. The neatly formed village apartment had everything that a short vacation required, (6 nights) a splendid court yard with two sunbeds and bistro table and chairs for those early morning cuppa's or the evening glasses of wine. In short we can not wait to visit again. Julie and Phil. are excellent hosts, being there if you need them but giving you plenty of space if you are doing your own thing. The village is very easy to locate from either Larnaca or Limassol just a few minutes off the main highway. If village life is for you give Pentakomo village apartment a try, in my humble opinion you will not be disappointed. A1

Perfect property
The apartment was perfect - close enough to the A1 for easy travel but in a very quiet village. A shop and a fantastic taverna within walking distance. A clean, well stocked kitchen, brilliant views and most importantly, a comfortable bed. Julie was a great host, met us at the door even though we arrived after midnight and couldn't have been more helpful. Communication before and since the stay was just as good. We hope to return and will definitely recommend the property to others.

Lovely self contained Apartment.
A great little property overlooking the mountains and with a private stone built courtyard at the rear. The apartment itself had everything you needed for a quiet break or a base that is central to Cyprus. If you wanted to venture out locally the local supermarket and Resturants were a very short walk away. Governors beach is a 10minute drive away with more choices of restuarants and sandy beaches.
The apartment was very clean. I would happily recommend staying here.

Bezaubernd und ruhig!
Das kleine Flat ist sehr geschmackvoll, liebevoll eingerichtet und mit allem ausgestattet was man braucht. Komfortabel und funktional, wir haben nichts vermisst! Wer dem touristischem Trubel entfliehen möchte, ist hier gut aufgehoben, mit dem Auto kommt man auf gut ausgebauten Straßen verkehrsgünstig überall hin. Die Vermieterin war immer erreichbar und freundlich und auch die Dorfbewohner scheinen immer gut gelaunt.
Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!

Cozy, Friendly, well located
We had a nice vacation at this cozy vacation home.
Julie is very friendly and helpful!
The location is perfect if you seek the quiet, yet just minutes from nice beaches,
and an easy drive to Lemessos, Larnaka, or towards the Trodos region.

Très bon séjour
Logement fonctionnel dans une très jolie maison de village
Typique et aménagée avec beaucoup de goût
La propriétaire est charmante
La taverne Iris, à quelques pas, est à recommander.
On trouve tout ce qu'il faut à l'épicerie du village(on s'y rend à pied)

Wunderschönes Appartment mit niedlichem Frühstücksbereich
Pentakomo liegt nah an der Autobahn, sodass man gut alles erreichen kann. Trotzdem ist es ruhig und verträumt und traditionell. Die Wohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet und die Vermieterin ist unglaublich nett und hilfsbereit. Wir waren eine Woche hier und eine Woche in der Nähe von Paphos....genau richtig, um die Insel gut kennenzulernen.
Thank you, Julie! We had a wonderful time!!!!

Guter Ausgangspunkt um Zypern zu entdecken
Die Wohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet und die Vermieterin charmant.
Im Ort gibt es fußläufig ein uriges Restaurant mit einem Original von Wirt, Demetrius Xystras.
Man fühlt sich überall wohl aufgenommen und erreicht mit dem Auto recht schnell die verschiedenen Flecken der Insel.
Einen Stern zog ich ab, da die Geräusche der Nachbarferienwohnung ungedämmt vernehmbar waren. Das waren nicht nur die knarrenden Dielen und Spülgeräusche, sondern jedes Wort, was miterlebt werden durfte. Wir übten uns zwar in gegenseitiger Rücksichtnahme, aber angenehm war das nicht.

About the host
Hosted by Julie Donovan
We have been visiting family on the island for a number of years and really enjoy the pace of life and climate. We decided to buy a property so that we could spend more time on the island. We travel regularly and split our time between Cyprus, the South of France and the UK.
Why they chose this property
We wanted a traditional Cyprus village house, somewhere which had character and was situated in a quiet and friendly village with easy access to the beach, motorway and airport. Pentakomo is exceptionally well located for access to the entire island. Here we are able to enjoy peaceful village life while being just 5 minutes from the beach and a short distance from both Limassol and Larnaca.
What makes this property unique
The property sits on the edge of the village overlooking fields of carob and olive trees. In particular, the mornings and evenings are wonderful. We can sit outside all day and enjoy the views of the mountains, watch the different migratory birds as they pass through, and in the evenings watch the amazing sunsets with a nice glass of wine !
