Villa Davidia | 3-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Protaras
Holiday Home Rental Description
Protaras draws visitors with its elevated clifftop positioning and proximity to Cyprus’s most celebrated beaches, yet few discover the St. Elias neighbourhood where Villa Davidia commands views across the entire resort landscape. This three-bedroom villa accommodates six guests in a configuration that works equally well for multi-generational families and groups of friends seeking both social connection and independent retreats within the same walls.
Inside Villa Davidia
Villa Davidia sleeps 6 guests across 3 bedrooms and 1 bathrooms. The ground floor operates as the villa’s social hub. An open-plan living and dining area flows directly from a fully equipped kitchen featuring an oven, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge freezer—the kind of cooking space that transforms holiday self-catering from logistics into pleasure. A breakfast bar sits within the kitchen zone, ideal for informal morning coffee or quick snacking. The living area connects seamlessly to a terrace through full-length glass doors, immediately collapsing the boundary between interior comfort and outdoor living. A utility room handles laundry practicalities, while a discrete cloakroom serves ground-floor guests without disrupting the main living flow.
Upstairs, three distinct bedroom spaces occupy the first floor. The master bedroom features a double bed and commands its own en-suite bathroom—a critical advantage when six people share one main facility. This room’s private balcony access allows for morning quiet time overlooking the Protaras landscape before the household wakes. The second bedroom also contains a double bed with balcony access, offering couples or adult guests their preferred sleeping arrangement. A third bedroom provides twin single beds (ideal for children or friends preferring separate sleeping spaces) and similarly opens onto a balcony. The family bathroom on this floor serves the two secondary bedrooms and handles the morning rhythm when multiple guests need simultaneous access to shower facilities. Storage throughout exceeds typical villa standards, critical when six people arrive with luggage and beach equipment.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
The terrace forms the villa’s true heart. Sun loungers border a generous expanse of paved space where the private swimming pool sits like an aquamarine jewel, heated and ready for immediate use. A covered dining area with a substantial table seats the entire party comfortably, while a built-in barbecue transforms outdoor cooking from optional amenity to central social activity—the kind of facility that structures evening rhythms around shared meals. An outdoor shower allows swimmers to rinse salt water directly beside the pool rather than traipsing through interior spaces. Mediterranean garden planting provides subtle greenery without demanding maintenance, creating a frame rather than overwhelming the hardscape.
The terrace’s south-facing orientation ensures sun dominates from late morning through sunset, while the elevated St. Elias position captures cooling sea breezes that moderate even peak summer heat. Artificial lighting allows evening entertaining to extend naturally into night. Parking sits adjacent to the property—a consideration often overlooked in holiday planning, yet essential for guests arriving with rental cars.
Location: Protaras and the Surrounding Area
Villa Davidia sits in St. Elias, a quiet elevated quarter of Protaras located approximately 3km from the town centre—close enough for convenience, distant enough for tranquility. Larnaca International Airport lies 40km southwest, approximately 40 minutes by car, making arrival and departure logistics straightforward without requiring complex transfers.
Protaras itself has evolved from fishing village to sophisticated coastal resort while retaining genuine character. Venetian architectural influences appear throughout the town, particularly in the pastel-painted traditional houses lining the narrow streets. Local tavernas serve fresh-caught fish prepared with Mediterranean simplicity—establishments where proprietors have worked the same locations for decades. The covered market in town centre stocks locally produced vegetables, cheeses, and bread that elevate self-catering beyond supermarket basics.
Fig Tree Bay, 2km from the villa, deserves its reputation as Cyprus’s most photogenic beach. The iconic fig tree growing directly from sand creates an instantly recognisable frame, while the sheltered bay’s golden sand and transparent shallow waters prove genuinely suitable for all swimming abilities. Water sports operators stationed along the beach offer parasailing, jet skiing, and sea kayaking for guests seeking activity beyond sunbathing. Stronger swimmers can navigate to the small offshore island, accessible by direct water entry from the beach.
Cape Greco National Forest Park extends 3.5km along the dramatic coastline south of Protaras. On land, established trails allow walking, mountain biking, and even horseback riding through pine forest terrain. The park’s underwater significance—recognised as a protected marine site—makes it exceptional for both beginner and experienced snorkellers and scuba divers. The cave systems and underwater rock formations create visual drama unavailable in most Mediterranean destinations.
Ayia Napa, situated 12km northwest, functions as the region’s nightlife centre, though it maintains cultural substance beyond club venues. The Ayia Napa Monastery—a 15th-century Venetian structure—occupies the central square, surrounded by bars and restaurants that operate across the spectrum from casual tavernas to club venues. A water park on the town’s outskirts appeals specifically to guests travelling with children, offering water slides and shallow pools as afternoon diversion. The distinction between Protaras (quieter, family-oriented) and Ayia Napa (livelier, younger demographic) allows flexible evening choices depending on household preferences.

The region operates on a pronounced seasonal pattern. June through September brings reliably hot, dry weather—temperatures regularly exceeding 32°C—with sea temperatures reaching 27°C by late summer. April, May, and October offer ideal compromise between warm weather and manageable heat. November through March experiences cooler temperatures (rarely below 10°C at night, typically 15-18°C by day) with occasional rainfall, yet winter remains viable for guests avoiding peak summer crowds.
Who This Villa Suits Best
Multi-generational families benefit from the master bedroom’s en-suite privacy and the secondary bedrooms’ separation from communal spaces. Grandparents managing jet lag gain quiet retreat spaces while grandchildren play pool. Groups of three couples function naturally within the three-bedroom configuration. Extended families with young children find the combination of private pool (eliminating public beach logistics) and proximity to family-friendly Fig Tree Bay particularly functional. Single families with three children distribute comfortably without cramped quarters.
The villa less suits guests requiring luxury service staff, on-site concierge, or complex entertainment programming. It functions optimally for households comfortable with villa self-catering (though professional cleaning between weeks handles turnover). Guests seeking clubbing-focused nightlife gravitate toward Ayia Napa’s proximity, though Protaras accommodates casual evening entertainment sufficiently.
