Stratos House  

Das Haus ist sehr authentisch, das Mütterchen hat nur griechisch gesprochen, aber war stets darauf bedacht, irgendeine Spezialität zum Probieren anzubieten und den Aufenthalt so zu gestalten, dass man sich wie zu Hause gefühlt hat.

Liebevolle Einrichtung. Wer einmal abseits des Massentourismus in einem kleinen Ort das wirkliche Zypern kennenlernen will. für denjenigen ist das die richtige Unterkunft.

Das Stratos Haus hat wunderbare Vermieter!

Das Hotel entsprach den Erwartungen, die Beschreibung war sehr gut. Die Räume sind sehr individuell und romantisch eingerichtet. Einfach mal was anderes. Wegen der Nähe zur Autobahn sind die örtlichkeiten im Süden und Südwesten, sowie das Zentrum leicht erreichbar. Es eignet sich gut als Stützpunkt für Ausflüge. Da wir im Dezember vor Ort waren, können wir Strand- und Poolmöglichkeiten nicht beurteilen. Die Besitzerin hat uns ein gutes Restaurant für den Silvesterabend organisiert (dies ist in Zypern gar nicht so einfach, da nahezu alles an Silvester und Neujahr geschlossen hat) Die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist sehr gut. Zum Frühstücken geht man in das Dorf-Cafe. Das Frühstück war hervorragend und schmeckte besser als in manchem Hotelbunker. Die Leute im Dorf sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit.

Die Verständigung war schwierig, da die Mutter der Besitzerin nur griechisch spricht. Sie hat sich jedoch hervorragend um alle Fragen gekümmert und notfalls war eine Verständigung über Handy mit der Besitzerin (spricht Deutsch) möglich. Der Dorfplatz wird aktuell renoviert und ist sehr schmutzig, speziell wenn es regnet. Da man den Dorfplatz ständig kreuzt (zum Parkplatz, zum Cafe,...) ist dies sehr lästig. Die Renovierung sollte aber bis zur nächsten Hochsaison fertig sein.

The Stratos House and the town of Kalavasos are both gems that we felt grateful to find and experience! A truly authentic and relaxing way to experience Cyprus. Affordable, very relaxing. Good quaint restaurants just down the narrow stone streets. We felt very cared for and welcomed by the family that have lived there for many generations. Highly recommended!!!

Very restful location, away from tourism. Represents the feeling of vacation. Although the host didn't speak any English, she tried to make us feel as comfortable as possible.

lovely peaceful break

Very authentic - mirrored the houses I used to stay at in the Greek islands 40 years ago before tourism took it's toll. You were living in a 'real' home and couldn't but help fall into a very relaxed lifestyle for the duration of your stay. George & Eleni were excellent hosts, extremely hospitable. George was good enough to give up his own time to have long conversations with you. Excellent English & French (and it wouldn't surprise me if he spoke a few other languages as well). Village was small and very traditional. Nearest restaurant (40m) was the type that still invited you into the kitchen to show what they had cooked. Location was brilliant if you enjoyed driving, a very easy dash to get on to the Larnica/Limasol motorway. And to cap off my trip, Scotland even managed to beat Cyprus 2-1 - result!

After years of travel I have at last found somewhere deserving of the description Heaven. The most fabulous place in the most charming and friendly village with plenty of amenities (Tavernas)! First to dispel some earlier comments by reviewers. The owner, Elenor, speaks perfect English, she was in hospital earlier in the year having a baby that's why no one spoke English. Elenor sends guests spot on directions to find the house, no problem. Our shower worked perfectly. There are beaches within about 15 minutes drive if you can tear your self away from Kalavasos. Do go to Stratos House and sample real Cyprus, it's amazing.

I liked the house, the enviroment, the village. The housekeeper lady was very kind, she always came to have a talk with us, brouhgt cafe or other, but she spoke only Greek. English spoken was possible through phone with her daughter in Greece.

Wifi was not working (after 2 days trying for 1 day only), the shower was fast unusable, there were only Greek chanels on the TV. We did not need it in February, but there is no swimming pool on site, we found one public village pool 2 streets higher.

We were made very welcome from the time we entered to the moment we left. The room was beautiful, a great terrace to sit and eat, or sip the complimentary bottle of wine!! Thanks! There was coffee, tea, oil, sugar etc all supplied... and this was a very nice thought. A couple of nice friendly tavernas in the village as well.

Nothing.. It was perfect!

Old house in the middle of historic village, very comfortable and peaceful. Nice village well situated which allows to visit most of Cyprus from this base. Hosts are very friendly and accomodating, you feel like at home.

Ideal if you are looking for peace and quiet. Full amenities and friendly staff. Rich breakfast although served outside the hotel facilities.

There is really nothing to dislike but only two minor things to mention. 1) A bit hard to locate but villagers were very helpful. 2)There is no parking available but there is a free car park within walking distance.
