Villa Ostria - Coral Bay, Paphos, Cyprus

Villa Ostria - Coral Bay, Paphos, Cyprus

Facing a peaceful banana plantation, the Villa Ostria is a superb example of a smart and modern Cypriot holiday home.

Throughout its two storeys, the peach-painted villa is immaculately decorated and maintained to make a feature of its comfort and brightness. High quality furnishings can be found in every room and the open-plan layout underlines the welcoming mood of space, especially around the sitting room and gleaming, well-equipped kitchen-diner, which are divided by a stylish breakfast bar. Upstairs, there is a delightful balcony giving outstanding views over the sea and surrounding hills - the perfect corner to relax away from the activities around the pool.

Outside, there is a lovely freeform pool set into large sun terraces, which bask in long hours of sunshine and are equipped with beautiful wooden furniture, including a swinging canopied sofa, ideal for lulling yourself into delicious mid-afternoon siestas. There is also a modern brick-built barbecue for preparing outdoor meals, and the all-enveloping serenity of the setting is another enticement to simply stay at home and unwind.

Neighbouring the Villa Avra and Villa Etheria, the Ostria is well placed for making the most of Coral Bay beach four kilometres away and the rustic village of Peyia with its charming tavernas.
