Stayed here for the first week in April 2019. We were not expecting the weather to be reliable and so it turned out. We had a mixture of warm and grey days with some rainfall. The locals we met all said this was unusual and that the sun normally shines at this time. When I booked this house the property owner Al got in touch, he was very helpful and was able to suggest a number of solutions for our party of six for our trip which included being picked up from and returned to larnaca airport, having a hire car waiting for us at the house. Advice re currency, shopping, restaurants etc. Al has good local contacts and knows the area and local services well. The day we flew out he contacted me to let me know that his housekeeper had let him know that the evenings that week had been chilly. He arranged through her for electric blankets to be put on the beds and for logs to be put by the wood burner for our use. What a gent and they proved to be necessary and took the chill off in the evenings.
The house is well positioned for local supermarkets/restaurants and just down the road from Kyrenia. We found eating out was very good value. The Food there is typical Mediterranean and of good quality. The pound goes a long way.
The house has everything you need for a holiday rental. Little things like dishwasher tablets/washing powder/food condiments/cooking oil etc . Every pot and pan and utensil you would need. Good internet and wifi ( three teenagers who were online permanently when in the house without complaint) an internet enabled TV with UK channels that was handy for plugging into the BBC to see the Brexit shambles from afar. The house is clearly set up to combat the hot seasons, New aircon units in all bedrooms and large fans, cool tiled floors throughout etc. It would have been nice to have experienced some searing heat, we had the odd burst of it though. The hot water system works really well, with no shortage of piping hot water.
We traveled extensively throughout the north whilst there and found the roads and traffic easy to negotiate. We had a great trip, the house was fab and suited our needs perfectly and a special thanks to Al for all your advice and for going the extra mile. Mo from the Courtyard sends his regards.
