Leonidas Village Houses

Me and my girlfriend had a great 1 week stay at the villas. The villa is outside Paphos in a place called Ghoudi (pronounced Goo-oo-d-ee). Around 50 minutes from the airport (Paphos) I recommend using a local taxi company +3579948613 who charge 50 euros and not the taxi hire companies at the airport who charge 85 euros. The villa is nearly 5km from Polis (the nearest town) which you will need to rent a car/hire a taxi to visit (12 euros). There is lots of restaurants and supermarkets here. You are Around 7km from Latchi which is where the nearest beach is and lots of restaurants and activities such as quad biking, boat trips, scuba diving, boat hiral Etc. The kitchen could use more utensils for cooking and perhaps the basics like salt, pepper, olive oil but other than that it is very handy and great to have. Rooms and bathrooms are clean upon arrival and the grounds themselves are kept very well by a lovely lady called Monika. The grounds themselves are split between 5-7 apartments over a communal pool. Again the pool is kept clean, and pool areas are a great sun trap. Being out of the way it is very relaxing and quiet. I also recommend a visit to the nearby juice and sandwich bar just off the main road. The man who runs it is very friendly and provides fresh juice prepared right for you and can not do enough to help you or make sure you are enjoying your stay. Overall the villa is a great quiet retreat for relaxing. I would definitely hire a car when returning!

Our first thought on entering our holiday house was 'wow'. It was beautiful, tranquil and far removed from the featureless white boxes often associated with holiday apartments. The scent of the nearby orange groves and the courtyard swimming pool added to the ambience of the place. On our arrival we were met by a lovely lady who had made sure our apartment was ready and assured us she would be on hand should we require anything. We had a fantastic stay here and I would definitely recommend it to others.

What pleased us was that the house was well equipped, e.g. iron, ironing board, clothes drying rack, cooking utensils, dishware, conventional oven, microwave oven, bread toaster, kettle, etc. and they are very new and clean. Fit for cooking up a cozy family meal in the very comfort of the house. The fireplace was a pleasant surprise for us and the firewood prepared by the helpful housekeeper was so amazingly sufficient to last the night. It was indeed a very warm winter for us. Goudi is lovely surrounded by citrus plantation, has not much amenities but one can always shop for grocery and food by a drive to the supermarket in Polis town centre.
