Top choice in Troödos Mountains


Perched above the village of Treis Elies with a shady garden, the house has two one-bedroom apartments and one two-bedroom apartment; all are self-catering and decorated like a rustic paradise. Friendly owner and enthusiastic chef Androulla provides cooking demonstrations to guests upon request, and runs short culinary courses.

There's a two-night minimum stay.
