A
lovely one double bedroom apartment only 500 metres from the harbour
It is offered as a cheap self catering holiday home
Warm,
welcoming and comfortable - with swimming pool
Central
location – no need for a hire car


WHAT'S THE ACCOMMODATION?
This
delightful flat is centrally located in historic Paphos (Pafos), next to the
Nereus Hotel and close to the harbour, the famous fort, and the Alexander the Great Hotel. It has a large (25ft long) private
balcony accessible by double patio doors from both the sitting room
and bedroom. The flat enjoys full air conditioning and has a fully fitted
kitchen and a separate bathroom.
The pretty
bedroom has a pine double bed, double wardrobe, cupboards, pine
chest of drawers and dressing table.
The
sitting/dining room has two single armchairs and a metal action sofa
bed. This sofa bed is NOT intended for regular use by adults, so the accommodation is
offered as a ONE bedroom flat. There is a pine dining table, with
chairs for four people, a TV with DVD player, a seperate CD/radio, and a new electronic safe to secure your valuables. Ceiling
fans in both rooms give a welcome breeze on the hottest
days.

The separate
bathroom, which leads from the kitchen, has a bath with shower, hand
basin and lavatory.
The small
fully equipped kitchen opens onto the sitting/dining room. There are
many appliances including an electric cooker, microwave, toaster and
a tall fridge/freezer, oh yes, and an iron and ironing board for all you that need one.
The large
(27sq m) balcony has two sun loungers, a table with four chairs –
and a great (Sterling) gas BBQ.
We have few
rules – but to keep the flat clean and fresh we ask you not to smoke
inside.
There is a big
(50 foot long) quiet shared swimming pool with a large patio area – fantastic on
hot sunny days. Note that Paphos has 320 sunny days a
year !

WHAT DOES IT COST?
In summer 2010 (1st March to end of October) we
charge £230 per week. That's for the
whole flat, NOT per person.
Fancy a winter
break ? In the period of 1st January to 28th February 2010 we charge £175 per week. That's only £25
a day, which is far cheaper than a hotel room. It is the same price for November and December 2010.
The charges
include cleaning the flat before and after your visit. All we ask is
that you keep the flat in the condition you found it – nice, clean
and tidy! Electricity is included in the price, as is the cost of
cleaning the swimming pool. We provide all bedding and towels (now including beach/pool towels). We will send to you before your holiday a long list of information that will help make your holiday go as smooth as possible, which includes a list of restaurants, car hire firms, supermarkets, as well as information regarding a bus service from Paphos Airport to Paphos (costing 3 Euros, in 2009).
Telephone
bookings are accepted – as are postal/fax/email. They must be
confirmed (within a week) with a £75 per week (or extra part of week) (non- refundable) deposit.
The balance of
the fee is required to be cleared into our account no less than one month before the date of
departure, otherwise the booking will be cancelled and the deposit
lost.
There is also a
£250 (returnable as long as there is no damage or loss) "Damage Deposit" which is also required to be in our account at the
latest one month before departure.
For cheap flights it is best to look on the Internet AND to book as early as possible. Airlines that fly there are :- Easyjet, BA, Cyprus Airways, Thomas Cook, Globespan, KLM, Transaero, Thomson Fly, Air Berlin, Monarch, TUIfly, Finnair, JetairFLY, Bulgaria Air, Viking, First Choice, EuroCypria and Jet2. See below for some links to some of the airlines websites.
WHAT ARE THE LOCAL
AMENITIES?
Two Car Hire
shops, a Hairdressing Salon and a Launderette are below the flat,
within the same block. There are three local shops within 150
metres. There are many great Restaurants, especially seafood and meze, as well as lots of bars and a few clubs about 5 minutes walk, especially in the "Bar Street" area.
We would recommend the car hire chap directly below us
called Thrasos, who runs Thrasos Car Rentals. He is very helpful
and will meet you at the airport if you want (for free).
His phone number
is 00357 26942727, or email
thrasosrentals@msn.com

The flat is also about 400 yards from the Tomb of Kings Road, where
the famous archaeological site is located. There are many other facilities here, including Ten Pin Bowling and a Cinema,

We are very keen supporters of a charity called "Help for Heroes", which raises money for wounded soldiers, and their convalescence home at "Headley Court" which is local to where we live.
http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk
We are going to donate £5 for each rental that is booked at our Paphos Flat, and we offer you the opportunity of matching that amount, when you book with us, if you want to. We don't think it is too much to ask for, as we are offering you this flat at such a cheap price, I am sure you can find it in your heart to donate just £5 to such a worthy cause. We will make sure that all monies donated are "Gift Aided", thus the charity gets the extra 28%, thus each rental will raise £12.80
We thank you for your support.
