Excellent Property for a Car based Holiday
Villa la Pente is a well designed spacious and very comfortable villa with a good sized pool in a quiet cul de sac location with pleasant countryside views. Although there are three properties on higher ground around it, it still has good privacy and the layout gives opportunities for getting into the shade if it is too hot but without limiting access to the sun. However, skinny dipping in the pool might be only for exhibitionists! Christos who manages several properties in the cul de sac lives next door and was very helpful with any queries. The kettle went while were there and he replaced it with a new one within five minutes. As stated in the description the property is about 1.5km from Coral Bay beach which in theory may be walkable but we would not have done this. The first 500 m from the house is on minor roads without lighting and the next 200m is on the busy main road without a pavement (tarred edge of the road beyond the white line). However, car travel from the house was very easy and the location gives quick access to the whole of the Akamas peninsula and down into Paphos.
The equipment in the house all worked well with the exception of the wifi which was poor most of the time. Christos explained that at the moment he broadcasts the wifi to all the properties from his own house but next year (2023) he hopes to install separate routers in each house. If good wifi is important to you, best check with Christos before booking.
The description tells you that you need to bring all supplies with you including soap etc and apart from one toilet roll in each bathroom that is the case. One small and one larger towel are provided per person - bring your own beach towel! Things like crockery and cutlery were adequate but not generous. The local supermarket - Phillipos - about 1km away is excellent, large and with a superb range of food, drink and household goods of all types.
In summary we greatly enjoyed our stay at La Pente and would recommend it for a car based holiday, but don't expect the frills that some hosts provide for their guests.
