Stratos House  

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.

Nice quiet village with friendly people, hosts very accommodating. Everything provided such as washng-up liquid, salt etc. Nice to be able to breakfast on the terrace in the morning.

Apartment somewaht dark (old building, so small windows). No light on terrace to sit outside in the evening.

Clean, neat, romantic getaway in a traditional Cypriot village. The village itself though rahter quiet is also very tourist friendly. The room included a fully equipped kitchen (it was in fact an appartment).

Communication with owners hardly possible only in Greek - knowledge of English or any other major language would be appreciated.

Wat duister maar smaakvol gerenoveerd en klassiek ingericht appartement -bijna als een museum- in een enig Grieks Cyprotisch dorpje. Ontbijt op het dorpspleintje bij George, 's avonds lekker en goedkoop eten bij Christos ''Tenta'' die op kosten van het huis heerlijke sinaasappels als toetje weggeeft (zo groot als meloenen) en meerdere malen ouzo laat aanrukken. Autentieke Grieks-cypyotische belevenis. Het gemis van een eigen balkonnetje met uitzicht wordt gecompenseerd door een tweetal rustige dakterrassen. Erg aardige uitbaters, net als alle dorpsbewoners.

Cordialita', disponibilita' e gentilezza ben oltre il normale...
