Description from owner
Description
If you are looking for a holiday in the mass tourist industry that Cyprus has generated, please look elsewhere. Here, in this property, you will experience the buzz of daily Cypriot life, the way the locals live it. Walk through the tightly built old city, its narrow lanes, and experience what Cyprus is really about.
Visit the local markets, the local “Kafeneio”, eat at the local mezedopoleio. The property is within a stone’s throw of the medieval castle, where Richard the Lionheart wedded Berengaria on May 12, 1191 AD. You will hear the church bells ring and the Imam's call to prayer; the Turkish quarter is only 5 minutes away (walking). And if its culture you are after, walk to the local open air cinema, local theatres or drive to the ancient Greek theatre of Curium where regular international productions are staged.
The weather is good (statistically only 330 days of sunshine per year) the beach is less than 1km (10min walk) away. And that is downhill.

“Cute and cosy in a perfect old town location”
I stayed here with 2 friends for a week-long holiday in March. We had such an amazing time, received the warmest welcome and felt at home right away. The apartment is full of character and comfort an… More

A 200+ year old house located near to a lot of restaurants, shops and places to wander, this is quite a unique place and gives a nice taste of the old Limassol. Owners and their relatives very friendl… More

“Convenient, but good place to see non-tourist Limassol”
This old Ottoman house is in a working area in Limassol, between the castle and the cathedral, so it is central and a short walk to the new marina that was being built when we stayed there. Although c… More

“Excellent”
My wife and I stayed here for a week in October. We found the property to be newly renovated, clean, tidy and well-equipped. Its central location meant that we could walk to the local market, restaurants or to the sea in just a few moments. The old part of town the property is situated in is devoid of modern developments and there are few other holiday homes nearly. Therefore, the area is full of character and so we found it enjoyable to just wander the local streets and soak in the atmosphere. Although the streets are narrow, there was ample space to park the car we hired. We would however recommend using a sat nav as many of the narrow streets are necessarily one-way and we would have found it tricky to find the house on the first occasion with only a map. The owners were very prompt and helpful in providing information on just about anything but left us completely alone during our stay. Overall, this was one of the absolute best properties we have ever rented and would not hesitate to recommend it.

“Authentic historic luxury right in the centre of the old town. Loved it”
We stayed at this spacious house for a wedding in Limassol old town and easily had the shortest walk home of all the guests! It was an ancient house (I think we were told the oldest part was three or four hundred years old) which has been modernised recently but leaving some lovely original features. We loved the antique furniture, but especially loved hosting a mini champagne/sunbathing reception on the balcony for our friends! Parking was a short walk away (100m or so) but the nearby market and castle (and beach) were so near that we didn't drive that often. This is somewhere for those who want to be a bit removed from the touristy beach front and experience the historic old town at its best.

I booked a one week holiday at yiayia's house with some friends during September through the holiday-lettings website. We arrived at night and it was very easy to find through the narrow streets… More
