HOLIDAY FLAT IN PAPHOS (Pafos)- CYPRUS

A lovely one double bedroom apartment only 400 metres from the harbour

It is offered as a cheap self catering holiday home

Warm, welcoming and comfortable - with 50 foot 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 Freeview satelite TV with a DVD player, a seperate CD/radio, and an electronic safe to secure your valuables. A ceiling fan in the sitting room gives 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 of 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 do 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 2012 (from 1st March until the 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 2012 we charge £185 per week. That's approx only £26 a day, which is far cheaper than a hotel room. For November and December 2012 we will also be charging £185 per week.

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 also including the beach/pool towels). We will send to you before your holiday a long "Information Package" 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 2010).

Telephone bookings are accepted – as are postal/fax/email. They must be confirmed (immediately) with a £75 per week (or extra part of week) (non- refundable) deposit.

The balance of the fee is (normally) 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 "Damage Deposit" (returnable as long as there is no damage or loss) which is also required to be cleared into 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, Ryan Air, 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 and well as to cheap flight finder 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 local shops within 150 metres. There are also 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 (also called PaphosCar rental).  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

You can see his website at www.paphoscar.com or www.thrasoscars.com  

The flat is about 400 metres from the main (new) town Harbour frontage and fort, which is a UNESCO world heritage listed site. The flat is also about 500 yards from the Tomb of Kings Road, where the famous archaeological site and other ruins are located. There are many other facilities close by, including Ten Pin Bowling, a normal Cinema, and a new "6D Cinema". There are many other ways to pass your time here besides sunbathing, for example the water park, the ampitheatre, wildlife park, numerous golf courses, scuba diving, snorkelling, fishing, quad biking, mountain biking, as well as yet more shops and restaurants, and of course skiing in the Troodos mountains during the winter.

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, we are 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 25%, thus each rental will raise £12.50

We thank you for your support.
