Villa Sarah

Had a wonderful week's stay at Villa Sarah with my Family to celebrate my 40th Birthday. Communication with the CVR Team leading up to and during our stay was great and made the experience all the more enjoyable. The Villa itself is amazing, sitting up overlooking Potima Bay, a prime location to watch the Sun dipping down into the Mediterranean while enjoying a BBQ washed down with a glass of the local Cypriot Wine or a cold glass of Keo, it had everything we could wish for and made it hard to leave when wanting to head out and explore parts of the Island. Look forward to coming back to Cyprus Again and hopefully Stay at Villa Sarah again or one of the other Beautiful Villas that CVR Offer.

Spacious villa in a good location

Contact prior to arrival was good. Villa was well located and spacious. It was clean and there was plenty of kitchenware to accommodate 11 of us.
Definitely recommend.

2 weeks stay

Me and my family 7 of us stayed at Villa katerina for 2 weeks. We got married while we were over there. It was in a perfect location and only 5 minutes from our wedding venue! The villa was very spacious and every bedroom has a bathroom. The pool was absolutely perfect the kids loved it! We hired the jacuzzi for 7 nights and I would definitely recommend hiring it, we used it every day! If we ever needed anything we would email and have a reply within an hour! Thanks again for a brilliant stay 👍🏼

Villa Sanctuary, Peyia

Villa Sanctuary is very spacious, private and peaceful. Great for a relaxing holiday. Lovely pool. The location is good, not far to Peyia village or to Coral Bay, but a car is definitely recommended as there are very steep hills around the villa. Booking with CVR is straightforward. Guest Support respond quickly to any queries. This is our 3rd time going to a CVR villa, can recommend and will certainly book with them again.

Extremely Disappointing experience.

Disappointing experience.
Booked a villa six months in advance. Paid in full for Villa and received a reminder to pay damages deposit. E mailed to query this as I had been informed it was due 7 days before arrival and heard nothing for weeks. Chased this up, to be informed that the owner of the villa had decided to sell and we could no longer stay there.
Alternative villas offered were nowhere near the standard of what we had originally booked. When we called to discuss this, we were informed that there wasn’t much available at such short notice, as if we had chosen to have our original booking cancelled!
After several phone calls, we agreed on a less luxurious villa, with the same amount of bedrooms and similar facilities - CVR tried to convince us that this was an upgrade, when both are graded as Gold and the original villa booked was far more modern and in a better location. CVR promised to ensure that we had a good stay.
Directions to the Villa consisted of a Google Maps pin drop - useless when your phone won’t connect to a local network. We spent over an hour driving round in the dark, trying to find the villa. Actual instructions would have saved us that hour.
Having friends who have used CVR in the past, we expected that we would at least find a pint of milk and maybe some bread, on arrival. Nothing at all, except for an ice cream left in the freezer by previous occupants (cleaning not up to scratch). Having visited the area many times, we were more than comfortable visiting supermarkets to stock up-we just would have expected a few basics, when arriving late at night (Every UK self catering facility we have stayed at has!)
Out of curiosity, we went to look at the villa that we had originally booked, to find that there was a hire car parked on the drive and people staying there-this may have been the owners but I doubt it.
I had requested a later check out and been advised to ask two days before leaving, which I did, only to be refused point blank-no discussion, no flexibility.
So much for making sure we had a great stay! We would have only asked for a couple of hours and would have paid!
Sadly, I would not recommend, based on our experience.

Good Morning,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations, and we’d like to take a moment to clarify a few points and provide some context around what happened.
Firstly, we completely understand how frustrating it must have been to have your original villa booking affected, especially after planning your holiday so far in advance. Unfortunately, the villa you originally booked was unexpectedly sold by the owner—a situation that was entirely out of our control. As soon as we were made aware, we did our utmost to find you a suitable alternative and offered several options. We’re glad you ultimately chose Villa Melanie, which is not only a larger property with four bedrooms, but also more premium in both size and value. We upgraded you at no additional cost and ensured that the new villa was in the same Coral Bay area, so your holiday plans would remain uninterrupted.
We’re sorry to hear you had trouble locating the villa. Like many villa rental companies, we typically provide a Google Maps pin, as well as the full Villa address, which is a widely used and accurate way of directing guests. However, we appreciate that difficulties can arise when a device isn’t connected to the local network. We’ll certainly take this on board and look into offering backup written directions for future guests.
Regarding the welcome pack: we currently do not offer these as standard, as our villas are all self-catering. Most of our guests prefer to stock up at their convenience, and fortunately, there are several supermarkets and shops just a short distance from all our villas. We do regret if this was unexpected, and we’ll consider making this clearer in our communications moving forward.
As for your observation about the original villa, we can confirm that it was indeed sold by the owner and is no longer managed by Cyprus Villa Retreats. Any cars or individuals you may have seen there would be unrelated to our company.
Lastly, we understand that late check-out can make a big difference, and we always try to accommodate such requests when possible. In your case, we had another set of guests arriving on the same day, and our team needed time to prepare the villa to our usual standards. We truly regret any inconvenience this caused.
We’re genuinely sorry that your experience didn’t live up to your expectations. Your feedback is valuable to us, and we’ll be using it to improve the service we provide to future guests. We do hope you were able to enjoy the beautiful location of Coral Bay and that the upgraded villa itself was comfortable for your stay.

Kind Regards

Very bad service

Very bad service. Me and my family were searching high and low for the best villa available for our needs. We all agreed on the villa and agreed to request the villa and pay the reservation fee. The next day we got a notifcation stating the request had been declined. The pricing was wrong, it was £600 more than originally priced on the website. We gave them the benefit of the doubt with the error, and decided we would pay more money as the villa ticked all boxes. We reserved again at the higher rate, and they have let the reservation expire and not even bothered to message why or reply to our messages questioning this. Very Very bad service I would not recommend getting high hopes with this company.

Can’t be trusted

Cyprus villa retreats cancelled our booking a year after we made it & only weeks away from our holiday. They made up a story about works being carried out in the area & would be unsafe for any one staying there. Funny it was the same villa as a previous review where they were told the villa had been sold !! (villa Sapphire) Our relatives who live in the area checked out the ‘works’ & as expected there are none. Let down at the last minute & lied to. Can’t trust them

Villa Margarita- Amazing holiday, great company!

4 of us stopped in Villa Margarita for the week, and we all can't speak highly enough of Cyprus villa Retreats, and the Villa.
Location of the villa is perfect, it's in a quiet area but within walking distance to the main strip in coral bay and Legends bar is around 200m away which has evening entertainment and food is lovely. The villa its self has everything you could possibly need, pool got cleaned almost daily, the accommodation was clean and well presented, and had amazing views.
Any contact with Cyprus villa retreats was easy and quickly responded to from booking all the way through to allowing us extra time in the villa on departure day.

We will 100% be using Cyprus villa retreats in the future and will recommend others to in the future.

"Nightmare Experience with Cyprus Villa…

"Nightmare Experience with Cyprus Villa Retreats" - Proceed with Extreme Caution! In May 2024, I booked Villa Sapphire for a crucial part of my friends' wedding celebrations, paying a £1000 deposit, (might add on top of the villa price). We were a group of six, all in our forties, looking forward to a relaxing stay. The villa I initially inquired about wasn't available, but they offered Villa Sapphire, assuring me it was perfect. I specifically asked about the possibility of villas being sold and was told it was extremely rare, with a guarantee of a 'match for match' replacement if it did occur. Two months before our trip, they cancelled, citing a sale. The replacement villas were vastly inferior – smaller, further from the beach (a 10-minute drive instead of a short walk), and not in Coral Bay, where the wedding was taking place. Their communication was nonexistent when I requested a refund. Only after I copied the Cyprus Ministry of Tourism into my emails did they acknowledge my request and process the refund. The stress and anxiety caused by this company were unbearable, nearly ruining a once-in-a-lifetime event. Protect yourself and book through reputable platforms like Booking.com or Airbnb. Do not make the same mistake I did."

Dear Vanessa,

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

We completely understand how frustrating and disappointing this situation was, especially with your trip being such an important event. While we do everything possible to ensure seamless stays for our guests, it is an extremely rare occurrence that a villa owner sells their property without providing us the agreed notice, leaving us with limited options for re-accommodation. Unfortunately, in this instance, this was entirely beyond our control.

Given the short notice, we worked quickly to provide four alternative villas, including two that were in a higher category than Villa Sapphire. However, we understand that location was a key factor for you, and while we do our best to match original bookings as closely as possible, there are times when an exact match isn’t feasible. This is why, in cases like this, we also offer a full refund as an alternative, which you accepted.

Regarding the £1,000 deposit, it's important to clarify that deposit amounts are set by the villa owners, not by us. Our role is to facilitate the booking and ensure compliance with the agreements in place between ourselves, guests and property owners.

On the matter of communication, we acknowledge that waiting for responses can be frustrating. It is always our aim to reply to and enquires as swiftly as possible, However during busy periods and on weekends with limited resource, our response time can be slightly longer. We responded to your emails within 72 hours, including in the lead-up to your refund request. Once your refund was formally requested, within 72 hours we confirmed that your refund was being processed and a further 72 hours later from receiving your bank details your refund had been complete —far quicker than our long-standing refund policy of up to 30 days.

We are truly sorry for the stress this situation caused you. While villa sales are extremely rare, we are always working to improve our processes to mitigate the impact when they do occur. Your feedback is invaluable, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

If you’d like to discuss this further, please don’t hesitate to reach out directly to: support@cyprusvillaretreats.com

Many thanks,

Excellent

Booking with Cyprus Villa Retreats was easy and they are very professional. The villa was as advertised and very clean. We were met at the villa on arrival and given a tour and explanation of everything we would need for our stay. We asked for more towels and they were delivered straight away. They were extremely helpful and a special thanks to Ma'te'. They have even emailed me with a list of objects we left behind and would we like them posted/saved. We had no issues during our stay and would definitely book through Cyprus Villa Retreats again.

We had a largely enjoyable stay at Villa Atlantica during our two-week vacation in September. The villa itself is attractive and well-equipped, living up to the description. However, we did encounter some issues with the water supply which needed frequent contact with guest support for resolution. Additionally, there were some maintenance needs such as clearing bird droppings and fixing an air conditioning unit and toilet flush mechanism. Despite these challenges, communication with Cyprus Villa Retreats was generally effective and responsive. We appreciate the efforts they made to address these concerns during our stay. Overall, the villa offers a comfortable and stylish environment, and with a few improvements, it could be an excellent choice for a holiday.

Villa Pegalia

We stayed at Villa Pegalia 5th-12th November. It is in a good location, quiet and private so nice and relaxing. Being November we requested the pool heating which was excellent.
We had a couple of issues which were resolved very quickly.
This is the second time this year we have been to Cyprus with CVR and will definitely use them again.
Would like to mention Tony B from CVR who was very helpful on both occasions.

Villa Sapphire is in a great location

Villa Sapphire is in a great location, walking distance to the beach and local restaurants. It was very clean on arrival with a lot of space for 2 family’s (including 6 children!) to relax and not be on top of each other. The games (snooker, table tennis and PlayStation) were a great extra to keep the children entertained as well as the hot tub and swimming pool. I’d definitely come back to Coral Bay and recommend booking with Cyprus Villa retreats- great communication before & during the holiday.

Holiday from Hell

We were a group of 10 family members (including my elderly parents) and we stayed at the Villa Atlantica in August 2024.

The entire holiday was absolutely horrendous from start to finish. We had no running water inside the villa on 3 separate occasions during the week, with the longest being for over 36 hours. Cyprus Villa Retreats did not send anyone to investigate the issue during this time, instead replying to our emails by suggesting we "use water from the swimming pool to flush the toilet cisterns". Our repeated requests for assistance were ignored and most of our phone calls went completely unanswered. We eventually resolved the situation ourselves by resetting the water pump. Eventually after 36 hours, CVR finally decided to send a water tanker to refill the tank to its maximum capacity. Four hours and four very short showers later the water completely shut off again for a further 12-hour period.

We also experienced another 12-hour loss of water, ants in the kitchen and both of the upstairs front bedrooms, and a huge snake in the outdoor shower tray, where all 10 members of our group (including my parents in their 80s) had been forced to shower on 4 nights out of our 7 night stay.

Cyprus Villa Retreats attempted to blame the local municipality for the issues, but all the neighbouring properties (including their own 8-bedroomed property directly across the road) experienced no issues, and when I contacted the Local Municipal Office myself they confirmed there were no issues with the water supply. A member of their own maintenance team also confirmed that the system was completely inadequate to supply the villa.

Despite sending a 3-page letter detailing all of the problems we encountered in August, CVR have since booked out the villa to other guests during September. When those guests have left negative reviews regarding this very same issue on Facebook, Cyprus Villa Retreats have claimed they have not received any other guest feedback regarding this!

We have received no apology or explanation from this company. The customer service was absolutely appalling, both during our stay and subsequently following our correspondence.

Please avoid this company at all costs, particularly as you are required to pay only by bank transfer which leaves you completely unprotected in these circumstances.
