    AWSOME experience and WONDERFUL host !!!!
    • Leisure trip
    • Group
    • One-Bedroom Cottage
    • Stayed 4 nights

    Nothing, it was all perfect for us !

    WOW ! Such a great and warm experience !!! First of all, the cottages are great! We rented the 2 homes offered for our extended family. There houses are authentic and very well kept. It combines both the original housing elements with modern amenities (WIFI, washing machine, induction stove, etc...). There is a BEAUTIFUL small yard between the 2 hoses, that we have enjoyed so much staying in the evenings for joint dinners. If you book both houses, you actually have an entire private place to an extended family, which is great! Also, one of the houses (the one we rented) has a floor that is actually a fully equipped mini apartment with a bedroom, shower & toilets, a small kitchen, and a small living area with a TV. It can be accessed individually, or joint together with the main house via a door trap door and a ladder, which is very cool, our kids loved it ! But other than the house itself, I want to say something on Xenios, the owner. Xenios is a WONDERFUL person ! He took such good care of us from the second we started communication. First of all, he met us and showed us everything in the houses, with great warmth and patience. Then, he took us all for a walk on the Lofou village, showing us the different historical places, giving recommendations, tips on how to get around, and where to find food, shops and more. Moreover, which is so warming and amazing, Xenios and his lovely wife have equipped both homes with food and treats for all of us ! A homemade cake, wine, various treats, a mixture of serials for the kids - WOW ! But not only that, also in the fridge we found a tray of cheese, jam, sausages, juice, butter, and more. One morning we woke up to another fresh cake that Xenios left on our doorstep. What can I say, I wish all hosts were half as friendly, warm, and welcoming. THANK YOU XENIOS FOR THE AMAZING STAY ! You made our Cyprus experience perfect !!!

    Probably to add a couple of kitchen knives but really nothing to claim about! Perfect!!!

    Everything was perfect! Xenios is a wonderful host, he took us through entire house and show and explains every detail. The house is very comfortable and cute, with lots of traditional village things. In the same time, there is everything you need for cooking and comfortable rest.

    Xenios is a great and accommodating host! Quick to provide information and responsive. Our family was personally welcomed even though we arrived late. Gave us a real surprise - great cake, snacks and wine, as the local shops and restaurants were already closed. We felt welcome and really enjoyed our stay in these apartments - the beautifully renovated building and its ancient interior, the charming courtyard, where we could enjoy the warm March morning in silence. I would definitely choose these apartments again and recommend them to other families. Maris

    We had a wonderful (too short) time in this gem in the middle of Lofou. Xenios is an exceptional, friendly and helpful host. We didn't miss anything. He took the time to walk with us through the village and explain the history and buildings. The fridge was well stocked for a big breakfast, and a home-baked cake and a bottle of wine were also provided for us - we didn't expect that! The cottage was very clean, the courtyard so inviting...we regretted not being able to stay longer. Thanks for everything, all the best, Xenios!

    Lovely experience at Xenios Cottages, Lofou
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • One-Bedroom Cottage
    • Stayed 3 nights

    Our family of five had a delightful 3-night stay at Xenious Cottages in Lofou, Cyprus. The cottages are conveniently located next to public parking and the main village square of picturesque Lofou. The old house we stayed in was well-maintained, and carried a rich character that added to the experience. Our children were particularly thrilled with the old castle-like key and the "secret" staircase linking the levels. The hosts not only warmly welcomed us but also imparted invaluable travel tips, ensuring we made the most of our time in Lofou. A touching gesture was the lovely homemade cake waiting for us upon our late-night arrival.

    • Stayed 5 nights

    My legs were too short to climb into the wonderful historic and very comfortable matrimonial bed :) but there are solutions to everything!

    Lofou is a lovely village, perfectly situated to explore the south of the island. After having been abandoned some decades ago, it was rebuilt in the traditional style. The cottage is a beautiful example of old mixed with new. Tradition plus all the luxuries of modern life like a wifi, a dishwasher, a washing machine. Perfectly and thoughtfully equipped with all a traveller might need and a lot more. All done with a loving hand. Xenios and his wife are wonderful hosts who put every effort in making their guests welcome. Apart from a very well filled fridge with all you need for breakfast - including a delicious home-made cake - Xenios kept in daily contact and was there to help wherever needed. He even took the time to walk the village with us which was a very memorable tour. His hospitality is outstanding and we enjoyed our stay every second- it was an extraordinary experience! If we ever come back to the island, we will make sure to go back - we found more than a host, we found friendship, wonderful people and more than one reason to return.

    There is absolutely nothing to criticise, unless you don’t like driving in the mountains

    A wonderful host, so helpful, generous complimentary food including a bottle of lovely Cypriot white wine. Spotless clean. A nice quiet village. We slept very well. The courtyard was very private, for some time to read. We wish we could have stayed longer.

    Beautiful cottage in the picturesque village of Lofou. Location great, near the cafes. Spacious with most comforts, free WiFi, breakfast included in the form of a warm welcoming package of fresh bread, homemade cake and marmalade, a delicatessen platter. Different coffee and teas; butter, eggs, milk, and water in the fridge. A bottle of wine and traditional sweets at the coffee table. Greek-Cypriot hospitality at its finest.The friendly owners make sure you feel at home. Although it is still summer in Cyprus, we did not need to use the air-condition, the fan was more than enough due to the cottage's location. We are definitely coming back!

    The cottage is huge - so much space. The owner was very kind and very helpful in his explanation of the cottage and village in general. Very quiet and tranquil village - you can escape the world in this place. We were honestly awe-struck at how amazing this cottage was and would HIGHLY recommend to anyone and everyone! As well as the fridge having plenty, they also made cake and left wine for us too!

    Wonderful hosts! Xenios gave us a personal tour of the village, offering great insights and local history. They left a nice spread of cold cuts, bread, wine and coffee and teas on the house -- his wife even baked a cake. Our stay felt like an authentic village home in Cyprus, exactly what we wanted. The place is comfortable, charming and immaculately clean. Loved the patio area for evening wine and morning coffee. Highly recommended!

    We wish we knew better that we should have a comfortable pair of shoes in order to move around in the village (this had nothing to do with the cottage). We dressed for a wedding but those who knew better, dressed with a suit and sports shoes!!!

    Everything is fine

    This house is one of the best places we have ever been. We booked two houses - they are in the same courtyard - which was very convenient. The first big house - the main house where we spent all the time (there were 4 couples with children), celebrated the New Year. The houses provide everything you need for living - washing machine, dishwasher, coffee maker (two types), kettle, clothes dryer, hair dryer, iron, large refrigerator, modern kitchen, air conditioners, etc. The owner put in additional heaters for warmth, and there were also plenty of extra blankets. The houses had linens (extra linen was also provided), towels, soap and shower gel/shampoo, dishwashing liquid (dishwasher tablets) and laundry detergent. The owner is a very nice and attentive person - he met and showed us everything, he was always in touch by phone and helped us with any questions. In the houses there was a compliment from the owner - local wine, eggs, fresh bread, milk, cheese and sausage for breakfast, children's breakfast cereal, honey, jam, sugar, coffee, tea, pies from the owner's wife. The kitchen has all the necessary utensils - pots, pans, cutlery, plates, glasses, mugs and much more. As well as olive oil, vinegar, salt / pepper / spices, sugar. In the courtyard there is a barbecue area, tables and chairs. The whole territory is very nicely decorated - a lot of interior things - figurines, books. There was also a TV and music center (we did not use them), the Internet worked fine, a couple of board games. The location is perfect - a couple of minutes down and into the city center. The village is small, very cozy, old and beautiful.
