About this property

Beautiful mature villa with large gardens and private pool overlooking the sea

Our family villa has a large mature garden with shaded patios and seating areas, as well as a lovely pool protected from view by a well established flowering hibiscus hedge. The villa is situated half way up a gentle rise from the sea to Chlorakas village, so a gentle breeze shields you from the heat of the day. It was built when only a small area of the plot could be used and so gives a wonderful sense of space and peace.
Chlorakas village has retained its traditional style with a wonderful church at its centre, a number of friendly tavernas, as well as more modern bars, all within easy walking distance of the villa. The sea is a 10 minute walk away and the beautiful sandy beaches of Coral Bay and the Akamas Peninsular, a short drive or bus ride away.
The villa is spacious and well equipped with Internet access, with a TV and Minix box that allows you to access UK TV and a large range of films and TV series.. There is also a radio/ CD player and a variety of games. We for years did not include a TV as our own boys after some resistance really enjoyed playing games! The living room is large and has two sets of sliding French windows that open onto a large patio, well shaded by grapevine and bougainvilia. The bedrooms and bathrooms are well designed for comfort and privacy as they are separated from the living room with wooden sliding doors, making it possible during the hot summer months, to keep them cool whilst still being able to move freely from the lounge to the patio.
The kitchen is well equipped and now also has a dishwasher included. There is a round wooden table with 4 chairs should you want to eat inside at any time during your stay. The adjoining utility room with separate sliding door, houses a washing machine, an ironing board and iron, the barbecue equipment and also a large cupboard full of adult and child beach and pool toys for your enjoyment. There is a table tennis table outside with its own paved area and the barbecue is built in under a raised flowerbed which boasts 4 orange trees.
Our villa is well maintained by our agent Diana whose cleaning is second to none, and Marius looks after both the pool and the garden and so keeps a close eye on both! Our large garden provides many seating areas, spectacular views of the sea, shade when needed and plenty of sunbathing opportunities.

Another lovely stay at beautiful Lizard Rock

Lizard Rock stands out as just a beautiful place to stay in Cyprus, with a stunning garden, and terraces to sit and relax and enjoy the view of the sea. Communication from Viv is very good and she and Diana, the agent, are so friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful week.

Lovely family holiday destination

A well maintained villa in a quiet location with a lovely mature garden offering shade throughout the day. The pool was ideal and spotless with the water quality very good. Overall a perfect villa for a family holiday with everything that you would need for your stay. Bus routes and various cafes and restaurants in easy walking distance but we hired a car to explore other areas too.

Great villa, perfect for relaxing

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Lizard Rock. The garden, pool & patio area are really beautiful and private and the terrace is great. Diana for the cleaning & linen change and Andy for the pool did a splendid job and were very helpful. There's a number of decent restaurants within 20 mins walk (Caravelle, Sienna & Famagusta were our favourites) and a very good bus service between Paphos & Coral Bay just 10 mins walk down the hill. Will certainly consider coming back.

Private, comfy and relaxing home from home!

Lizard Rock Villa is in a quiet residential area, 10 mins walk to bus stops into Paphos and up the coast to Coral Bay. There's a short but steep hill just before the villa which continues up to a little village with coffee shops and welcoming tavernas. The supermarket is 1km further, flat and easy to walk with shopping in back packs if you go when it's cooler. The villa is very spacious and homely, with quiet but efficient air con in the bedrooms, and comfy beds. We prepared several meals in the well equipped kitchen and then enjoyed them with a drink during sunset on the terrace. The pool and surrounding gardens are beautiful, making the villa feel extra private and relaxing. Thank you for the welcome pack and to Diana for calling in, and promptly answering my texts. Everything was spot on for us. Top marks, thank you!

Fabulous villa excellent location

This spacious villa ticked all our boxes. Great location for our needs. The villa was extremely well equipped with a lovely welcome pack. Superb grounds and all well managed by Marius and Diana. Within walking distance of the village centre with a variety of kiosks,bars and takeaways. Would highly recommend The Local for bingo or quiz or Sunday roast. Also fabulous view of the sunset while sitting on the veranda. Would definitely stay again when returning to Paphos. The only downside is a huge tree behind the villa which secretes a sticky sap which covered the side paths! Making it basically unusable to come down the right side of the villa without getting leaves stuck firmly on your feet. Apparently this happens in September! But all in all fabulous stay x

Lizard Rock

What a lovely way to spend two weeks!! Probably one of the best villas we have stayed in in terms of facilities, layout and view A hire car is definitely recommended to make the most of your holiday and we spent a lot of time travelling around Troodos mountains, aphrodites rock,Omordos,Kourion and over to Latchi where we hired our own boat to visit the Blue Lagoon ( go early avoid the big boats) Plenty of restaurant choices we only ate at Paphos harbour twice preferring Oniro by the sea and the highly recommended Michios tavern just a short walk from the villa - they only open Friday and Saturday but a fantastic meze And at the end of every adventure Lizard Rock awaits A spectacular pool , gorgeous gardens and comfortable beds , didn’t have time to read but a great book selection, game selection and a tv if that takes your fancy but we enjoyed nothing better than watching the sunset each evening while sat in the gardens Thanks Viv

Wonderful Relaxing Holiday

I can't recommend Lizard Rock Villa highly enough. It was literally a little corner of paradise. The villa itself is well appointed, spotlessly clean and beautifully cool. The weather was amazing and perfect for relaxing by the pool, lizard watching, playing table tennis, boules or cooking a delicious lunch on the bbq which we ate on the terrace overlooking the sea. The gardens are stunning and filled with fruit trees and bushes - oranges, lemons, grape vines, mango... The smell in the garden is heady and floral. The villa looks directly west which means we watched the sun set and sink away. Just incredible. It is well placed for Coral Bay with it's white sandy beach and azure waters, Pathos which has a harbour full of restaurants and ice cream parlours plus a new large shopping mall, the Troodos Mountains and numerous vineyards and historic sights. Very much hoping to go again next year!

A well appointed and well loved villa

We have just come back from a 2 week holiday in Cyprus. On arrival we had a much appreciated welcome pack which was perfect as we had a late flight. The villa was brilliant, beautifully clean with a fantastic patio area overlooking the pool. We found it really comfortable and perfectly equipped for our 2 week stay with plenty of games to play whilst sitting under the vines on the patio. The villa is really well located to supermarkets, beaches and restaurants. The garden is a real oasis, we had many happy days relaxing by the pool, playing table tennis and generally watching the wildlife. When we weren’t swimming we loved going for little nature hunts around the garden. This our 3rd visit and can’t recommend it enough. We love the island and would definitely recommend renting a 4x4 car. A few days were spent out and about, Turtle bay (Akamas Peninsular) was probably our favourite as we were lucky enough to see a baby turtle being released into the sea. Viklari was absolutely amazing and the best BBQ on the island and Latchi a real highlight. Agios Georgios is still a favourite place for a Keo watching the sun go down. Highly recommended and the owners were really friendly and helpful!

October Stay

We arrived in the early hours of the morning which was not a problem as everything was ready for us on arrival. We were able to let ourselves into the villa and were welcomed with a lovely message and necessities for the morning. The bottle of wine was most appreciated. Also Diana, the agent looked after us well and was always on hand when needed. She was very informative on where to visit and the local amenities. It is a short bus ride into the centre of Paphos or as we preferred you can visit the local taverns and eateries in Chlorakas for the authentic Cypriot experience. The garden of the villa is beautiful, secluded and well looked after. We would not hesitate to stay at Lizard Rock again. Thank you Diana and Viv for a lovey stay.

Entspannter Urlaub

In dieser Villa, in ruhiger Lage mit einem wunderschönen Garten und mit Weinreben und Bougainvillea überwachsenden Terrassen, den Urlaub mit Familie zu verbringen ist erholsam und entspannend. Es ist alles vorhanden, was für einen schönen Urlaub benötigt wird. Auf der schönen Terrasse mit dem traumhaften Blick auf das Meer lässt es sich gut verweilen. Die Agentin Diana war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Als wir uns ungeschickter Weise gleich am zweiten Abend ausgesperrt haben, hat sie sich schnell und unkompliziert um einen Schlüsseldienst gekümmert. Vielen herzlichen Dank dafür!!!

Beautiful outdoor gardens and pool area

This is a good sized property and was perfect for our family of 5. The outdoor area is very well maintained and the pool was lovely and clean. The table tennis table was a lovely addition too! The manager, Diana was very helpful and responded straight away when we had a query. Our only negative comment is the main living area and kitchen do not have air conditioning and were extremely hot in August. I'm sure at other times of the year this would not be a problem and the bedrooms were nice and cool.

Fabulous villa

This villa is amazing. The garden and pool area is delightful; much thought has been given to the landscaping which is truly beautiful. The villa itself is very well laid out and extremely well equipped. We loved the spacious lay out and, for 2 couples, it allowed a great deal of privacy as the double bedrooms are at opposite ends of the villa with, essentially, en suite facilities for each couple. The villa is well located; an easy 5 minute stroll takes you into the local village where there are bars, tavernas and some shops. We often walked into Pathos along the beautiful coastline, it takes about an hour and a half, rewarding ourselves with brunch in one of the many fabulous eateries. There is a frequent and inexpensive bus service back to the villa from Pathos. Diana, who looks after the villa, does a great job, she is very friendly and readily available if there are any issues. The owner and manager ensure that all the essentials are all in place for their guests, for example, there was plenty of washing powder, dishwasher tablets, cleaning products, herbs, spices, tea, etc left for our use which was very much appreciated as was the very generous welcome pack. We would not hestitate to recommend this fabulous property.

Return Visit

We have stayed at the villa four times now, although there has been a gap between our last visit and this one. The alterations to the bathrooms was lovely but not much else had changed. Still a lovely quiet location which was much appreciated considering the amount of building that is happening in Cyprus. The only thing I would mention is that there were a lot of things falling out of the grapevine that bit us constantly. Overall we had a lovely three weeks at the villa, and thank you Viv for allowing us to stay there again. Margaret and John Marshall

A beautiful villa to relax in the sun!

This is my third visit to this stunning well appointed villa, within large beautifully maintained mature gardens planted with a wide range of plants and flowering shrubs. There are three good size double bedrooms with two recently refurbished bathrooms. There is a good size pool which is always kept clean. The location up the hill provides stunning views over the sea with a specially located sitting area to make the most of this. It is only a short walk to the centre of Chlorakas, which has just undergone major improvement and where there are good restaurants, in particular the family run, Famagusta and an excellent take away with a good range of kebabs. The local supermarket is now open 24 hours on Saturdays, to accommodate arrival at all times. Chlorakas has several festivals, churches and an open air theatre. It is a short drive to many beautiful beaches, historic sites and other locations. I look forward to returning in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Viv Peyton

Host profile image
We bought a field and designed the villa ourselves, at a time when only a small proportion of the land could be built on. It has been our much loved holiday home ever since and we have added to the villa and garden over the years. We hope that anyone who goes to stay there, will love it as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We loved the Chlorakas area and it has never disappointed us. It is possible to go to Paphos for more cosmopolitan restaurants and fun but also to be out of the mainstream of tourism and we are well situated for Coral Bay, the Akamas peninsula and over the hills, to go boating and snorkeling at Latchi.

Chlorakas itself is a charming village with a beautiful church at its centre, and it has not followed other villages in losing its traditional character. The Famagusta tavern is a short walk away and offers friendly and delicious food and local wine.

What makes this property unique

Very few villas for rent in Cyprus have either the size or maturity of garden or the privacy that our villa offers to our tenants. There is shade where needed but also sunny areas for sunbathing, beautiful sea views and a gentle breeze that protects from the heat of the summer in Paphos.
