New Helvetia

Top choice in Troödos Mountains


Situated in an isolated and peaceful location at the northeastern end of the village, this hotel, founded in 1929, has an evocative old-fashioned feel of luxury and comfort. The rooms have a fresher, albeit still rustic, look with parquet floors and wooden balconies overlooking the pines.
