Lock in a great price for Xenios Cottages - rated 9.9 by recent guests.

to get started.

one of the best cottages i ever stayed and great owners too

Denis, Russia

Unique place to stay, traditional Cyprus design. Lovely patio with pomegranate tree. Xenios is excellent host, he also showed us around the village. Thank you. Lofou village itself is interesting place to explore, there is a short forest hike outside of the village. Be aware of snakes.

Maria, United Kingdom

This place is truly incredible - in the centre of the most spectacular little town. Xenios and his wife were wonderful hosts, making us feel so welcome. The most memorable and wonderful place I have stayed in years

Joseph, United Kingdom

Absolutely beautiful! From the warm greeting from Xenios himself, to the beautiful place that combines old charm and modern comfort, to the milk and eggs in the fridge and the homemade cake - everything was great! It was the first time I book a place with 9.9 rating and was a bit skeptical as to how can a place have a rating this high - now I understand. Worth it!

Kristina, Cyprus

Everything was super! Owner is a very helpful person.

Anu, Estonia

Our family had a wonderful time at the cottage. We were greeted upon arrival by friendly owner and son. They took time to walk us around the village and show us places to go eat and some of the local history. We also were provided with lots of delicious snacks and food including a home baked cake. The next morning we were very impressed as we met and ate with local people and were allowed to look around the beautiful church. we would thoroughly recommend a stay in this amazing area of Cyprus.

Daragh, United Kingdom

Xenios was very nice and helpful. He left breakfast in the fridge and snacks for the whole stay and took into consideration children's needs and provided additional snacks for them. We are very pleased with his assistance and notes regarding the area. Would definitely recommend staying at Xenios Cottages and we would surely revisit.

Panagiota, Cyprus

We liked everything, from the inside of the cottage to the outside. It was very beautifully done with a combination of old and modern touch to it. The owner Mr Xenious was very welcoming and kind providing us with the basic items for next morning's breakfast. We had a great stay.

Ali, United Arab Emirates

Very nice cottage, you absolutely have everything you need. Breakfast was not included but owner put some food which was more than enough to have a decent breakfast for all the family. Thank you, we really appreciate. Parking is free (20 meters away). Village is nice! We really enjoyed our stay

Nabil, Oman

A real gem, a welcome pack which we were not expecting, location was so quite, it's own court yard, old world charm with all the modern amenities. Will certainly return & stay there again.

The main bed is pretty high. Be aware if you're traveling with kids. Getting daylight into the cottage was a bit problematic. We had to use electric light more often than we wanted.
The level of hospitability is unbelievable. We were provided with numerous tasty things to try including cake, fruits, local cheese, jam, ham, a bottle of wine and a bunch of other. Tap water is not just drinkable - it's tasty. Very nice yard you can see stars from at night. Hosts came to clean the apartment and change the towels in the mid of the 5-day stay which was a really pleasant surprise. Hot water is not a problem at all. There is a set of board games and books you can use during the stay. The village is very quiet even though it has two taverns (Kamares and Lofou Tavern). We liked the later one more. There is a Lofou trail right outside of the village. It was a pleasant half-day walk with kids without much preparation. There are two taps with the drinkable water on the way. Make sure you've used all four possible roads to get into the village. The views are really beautiful. Lofou served us as a really convenient base for traveling to waterfalls near Platres, Troodos, Limassol and Paphos area.

Lofou and Xenios Cottages were the perfect place for our Cyprus vacation. Xenios went above and beyond with his hospitality, providing amazing food (for our vegan requirements), a comfortable cot for our six-month old, and even taking us for a short stroll around Lofou and introducing us to some of the locals.

Upon arrival there was bread, a plate of sliced cheeses and cold meats, eggs, milk, olives, Cyprus sweets, a home baked cake from his wife. Beds were beautifully made up and comfortable. Lofou is a great place to experience peace and tranquillity.
