Stratos House  

Een oase van rust met een lieve gastvrouw Elena. Een prachtig apartement, van alle gemakken voorzien en heerlijk koel, met een bed waarin je het liefst de gehele dag zou willen blijven liggen. Prachtige omgeving en gezellig dorp, met eenvoudige maar erg goede restaurants. Hier wordt nog écht geleefd. Met en voor elkaar. Bergen en zee zijn binnen 10 minuten bereikbaar en een dagje winkelen in de grote stad doe je maar 1 keer, want de rust en gezelligheid in Kalavasos wil je niet missen. We hebben volop genoten en gaan beslist terug naar deze plek in september. Een plek waar rust, leven en vooral liefde hand in hand gaan. Een plek waar een ieder zich thuis zal voelen. Een thuis waar je altijd weer naar terug verlangt.

Een authentiek ingericht verblijf, een aantal jaren terug in de tijd. Wel alles aanwezig! Vriendelijke eigenaresse die helaas geen engels spreekt. Rustig dorpje met zeer gastvrije dorpelingen die het je echt naar de zin willen maken. Voor een ontspannen rustige vakantie zeer geschikt, in de omgeving en het dorpje zelf valt verder weinig te beleven. Auto is wel noodzakelijk

Het bed was erg hard, en de douche was zeer primitief, weinig tot geen water.

Een authentiek adres dat u door zijn uitbaters en inrichting en door de ligging in het charmant, sfeervol dorpje Kalavassos (dat een uitstekende ligging heeft als je eigen vervoer hebt) EN door het contact met de dorpstaverne u helemaal onderdompelt in de Grieks-Cypriotische sfeer. Ook ideaal voor families met jonge kinderen, denken we.

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.
