About this property
Say ‘yassou’ to two-bedroomed Villa Roderigo, a charming Mediterranean bungalow on Cyprus’ southwest coast. Think generously-sized rooms, a private swimming pool and tranquil landscaped grounds next to banana fields – all within a short 5-minute’ drive of the renowned Coral Bay with its friendly local restaurants and long stretch of sandy beach. Whether you want to relax, top up your tan or enjoy an action-packed holiday, this popular part of Paphos has something for you.
The traditionally Cypriot-styled villa is complete with whitewashed walls and terracotta-tiled roofs, with green-hued shutters adding an extra pop of colour. When you’re not whiling the afternoon away on one of the cushioned sun loungers by the swimming pool or splashing about in the cooling waters, you can curl up under the shade of the pergola with your favourite holiday read. The villa boasts a stone barbeque and al fresco dining table too, so mealtimes are a real treat.
Inside, the comfort continues … there’s an open-plan living, kitchen and dining room with everything you’ll need for a home-from-home stay. Feature fireplace? Check. Plush sofas? Check. Indoor dining table and modern amenities like a television, toaster and oven? Check. Check. Check. The villa also benefits from Wi-Fi – so, you can keep your friends and family updated on your adventures – as well as air conditioning for when you need a break from the warm Cyprus sun.
With two bedrooms – one en-suite double and one twin – Villa Roderigo is perfect for small families or couples. Both rooms are light and airy and have plenty of wardrobe space for storing your holiday attire. There’s also another bathroom so that you won’t be fighting over the shower in the morning. If you want to go exploring, Coral Bay centre calls. There, you can sip cold coffee (or cocktails) in one of the cafes or head to the coast for water sports like jet skiing. For the foodies and culture lovers, Paphos centre with its historic castle, traditional tavernas and UNESCO sites is your go to.
