Overview
Description
A traditional Turkish Cypriot cottage in Upper Ozankoy with a large secluded and quiet garden, a private 10 x 5m swimming pool regularly maintained by Cyprus Pools Ltd, vine terrace, stone arched veranda for shaded summer living and lovely sea and mountain views.Situated on a quiet road up to Bellapais with its lovely Abbey. The garden is surrounded by stone walls or hedge, so is secure and private and contains many citrus trees, avocado, peaches, apricots, figs etc, as well as flowering shrubs and palm trees. There are some large cypress trees giving welcome shade in summer. The house has a sitting room with open fire, a dining hall, a kitchen and downstairs toilet. Upstairs is a large sun deck and 2 en-suite bedrooms with an interconnecting lockable door. There is an outside staircase and a steep inside stairway.
Next to the pool stands the Winter House , built recently to make the most of the winter sun. This has now been extended to provide self contained accommodation for two, with a sitting room, small kitchen and a double bedroom with ensuite shower room. This makes for ideal two generation family stays, or more space for larger families. These two houses are never let independently. The price includes the winter house
The garden is large, leafy, private and secluded and contains quite a few interesting plants. plenty The house was built in Ottoman times, and was modernised in the 1990s. We are currently modernising the kitchen which will be for the 2025 letting season

Leave ReviewA little piece of Heaven
By Geraldine Patterson on 07-Jul-2024We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Once those gates open you enter a little piece of heaven. The house is quirky and has a beautiful veranda to relax and dine on. If you prefer more modern accommodation you have that too with the pool house. Marian was a delight to correspond with as was Kemal, the gentleman who looks after the house. I miss my morning walks in the beautiful village..hope to return one day..🙏💖
Peaceful
By Hilary and Jeff on 02-Jun-2024This was our second stay in the cottage and on both occasions we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Although this year the weather was very hot the veranda and pool helped us to cool off. The welcome items in the fridge were greatly appreciated

PETIT MENAGE
By Mrs Hilary Jenkins on 21-Jun-202321stJune 23. Dear Pauline, We are just doing our packing and are being picked up at 6.30 p.m. Staying in your house has been a pleasure, we love it. The garden is a delight and I rather wished you had been here to explain all about the shrubs etc. We had a taxi driver who took us everywhere we wanted to go. Many thanks Jeff and Hilary
Relax, refresh and refocus.
By Simon on 24-May-2023A short stay but wonderfully homely and you feel better the moment you arrive. There is everything you could ask for in terms of kit in the house (and it all works and isn’t the cheapest available which is so often the case in holiday lets). Heaps of character, peaceful and plenty to do in the nearby area (car suggested) or equally a lovely garden and pool to relax in. Owners are very helpful. Could have happily stayed longer but sadly someone else beat me to reserving it and I have to go back to work.

Dear Simon, Thank you for your enthusiastic words of praise. Much appreciated, and do come again! All good wishes, Pauline
Beautiful Traditional Quirky Villa Set in a Wonderful Environment
By Julian on 26-Apr-2023If you want to experience a traditional house, but with all the luxuries such as a pool and expansive grounds, then try this house. The garden is a delight, full of fruit trees and when we stayed (early May), roses blooming in abundance. We never got over being able to pluck a lemon, or a Loquat from a tree to make a refreshing tea or addition to our breakfast. The pool is immense and catches the sun all day. Be prepared to guard against the pesky mosquitoes, but if you use the tools provided all will be good. Ozankoy and Catalkoy have everything you need and the walk from the house to Bellapais (very steep) is well worth the effort (the reward being a turkish coffee in one of the cafes). I can't recommend this house enough for those wishing to experience a more traditional way of accommodation. Both the owner and house manager are extremely easy to deal with and everything they promised was delivered. A great holiday and one to fe experienced again.
