Sapho Manor House

Cyprus


This lovingly restored mansion dates back to 1912 and is located within confessional distance of the pretty village church. It offers several studios and apartments, all decorated in the traditional rustic style. There’s a lovely courtyard and garden, a swimming pool and a laundry room (€6 per load); all encouragements to stay a while.
