Gabriel House

Top choice in Cyprus


Full of cosy village-style aesthetic, Gabriel House is a tranquil place with welcoming and friendly management. The two apartments have kitchenettes and brim with character, such as local stone walls, lacy bedspreads, and nooks and crannies filled with local ceramics. A fantastic choice for those looking for a peaceful hideaway that's packed with local charm.
