Villa Elise Cyprus
Holiday Home Rental Description
Villa Elise really is the crowning jewel at Aphrodite Hills. A five-bedroom villa where the list of luxuries, facilities and services is endless. Bathrobes, slippers and branded toiletries are placed in every room and cleaning is performed daily.
This magnificent villa sits majestically on the edge of the ravine on the western plateau of Aphrodite Hills Resort and is within walking distance of the enchanting Village Square. Decorated in neoclassical style with modern features, the property has been furnished to the highest standards. A twelve metre ‘kidney’ shaped swimming pool with a spacious poolside and large outdoor dining and lounge areas are the highlight of the property, allowing one to marvel at the serenity of the ravine and sea views.
The property is arranged over three levels. The entrance is situated on the ground level and features a double bedroom, living room, dining room and kitchen which services the extensive outdoor dining and lounge areas on the same level. The lower ground floor or ‘pool level’ features two twin bedrooms that can be converted into doubles if required, a second living room, second dining room and second kitchen that all open out to the pool terrace. This level has an independent suite and also boasts a sauna and gym, whilst the lounge has a dedicated home theatre system. On the first floor the master suite creates the impression of a luxurious hotel suite with a cosy lounge.
The entire house features marble floors with under-floor heating. The Villa is also air-conditioned throughout, with individually adjustable controls in each room. Safe boxes are found in all bedrooms and there is free Wi-Fi access throughout.
The Ground Floor:
The ground floor offers a comfortable living room with high quality furnishings, an entertainment centre with outdoor speakers, DVD, a 50 inch TV with surround sound and multiple satellite channels. The dining area is also on the ground floor and features an elegant glass table which seats six and is adjacent to the Italian kitchen; an all-white modern functional space which is fully equipped with integrated modern appliances in stainless steel. A juicer, toaster, blender and ‘Nespresso’ machine are also provided.
Outdoor living is further highlighted with luxurious armchairs, coffee tables, a dining table and professional outdoor barbecue. There is also a bar and even a traditional clay oven providing the ideal place where a chef can be hired to cater privately for guests. The luxurious king size bedroom is the only bedroom located on this floor and features a 42 inch TV with multiple satellite channels and patio doors leading onto the balcony and terrace. There is an en suite bathroom with bath and shower. A separate guest toilet is also available on this floor.
The First Floor:
The elegant master suite with hardwood floors and ceilings is absolutely striking with its row of windows which frame the magnificent ravine and stunning sea views, creating the impression of hanging paintings. The suite has an emperor size bed that looks onto a 50 inch TV with multiple satellite channels plus an ipod docking station. The bathroom features a twin vanity basin, walk-in shower, bath and WC.
The Pool Level (Lower Ground Floor):
Set below the entrance level is the ‘all-day area’ of the Villa. The gym with its professional treadmill, elliptic machine, multi-exercise unit and a 42 inch flat screen TV is located next to an eight person sauna. The open plan living room boasts a home theatre DVD and 65 inch TV with surround sound and multiple satellite channels; the kitchen and dining area lead on to the pool terrace and the oval infinity pool. This area features a large classical table that seats up to ten people and is conveniently adjacent to the second fully equipped kitchen. There are two twin bedrooms, with 42 inch flat screen TVs and satellite channels, en suite bathrooms with walk-in showers, vanity basins and WC. Patio doors open to the pool.
A separate guest wet-room and WC is also available on this floor with direct access from the pool. The private pool is heated as necessary to keep the pool available for swimming throughout the year. Teak wooden loungers and parasols set the scene for sunbathing, whilst watching the sun set into the Mediterranean. The location of Aphrodite Hills could not be more convenient! Paphos International Airport is just 15 minutes away, and you can enjoy the peace and tranquility of Cyprus’s south west corner with all the unspoilt attractions and culture it offers. The resort slopes down toward the shimmering waters of the Med, providing stunning views from the villas and golf course.
The closest attractions to Aphrodite Hills are Pissouri Beach and Village. They avoid being over touristy even in high season and offer a chance to see the traditional character of Paphos; one all too often missed by visitors to the island.
There is also the beautiful, child-friendly Zias Beach Club, just minutes down the coast, at Avdimou Bay. Aphrodite Hills offer a shuttle to and from the beach, taking a scenic route through the Cyprus countryside, past acres of vineyards.
Pathos old town stands as an internationally recognised site of historic and archeaological importance. The Ancient Greeks believed Aphrodite rose from the sea at Paphos, and many ancient sites, castles, and traditional villages exist in and around the town, making for convenient day trips. This has earned the entire town a place on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.Exclusive Added Value Services
