Peristerona is always a very green village due to the lush vegetation.

Location Info


The famous museum of Arsinoe displays an attractive collection of objects from the Byzantine period, including Byzantine icons from the 13th to 19th centuries, as well as wood carved ecclesiastical items, local and imported silver and metal artefacts as well as textiles. Rare books and manuscripts are also on display.Peristerona is situated between the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea and the spectacular mountains of Paphos Forest and the Troodos. Walking in the forests is a delight. Filled with pine trees, fruit and olive trees, wild flowers and herbs and vineyards the air is scented and the views spectacular. The nearby village of Steni (also steeped in tradition) hosts a coffee shop with wireless internet access and a very good traditional taverna. Travel a little further into the hills and you will find Lysos, which has a very good horse riding school and is also home to a very good traditional Cyprus taverna, with neighbouring shops and the more widely known Paradisos Hills Hotel which does an excellent Sunday buffet as well as a themed Indian night on a Friday. There is also a shooting club, mainly doing clay pigeon shootingwith spectacular scenery as a backdrop.

Heading back towards the coastline and you will find the small town of Polis. There is plenty of activity to choose from in Polis, whether you wish to dine in one of the many good quality restaurants, have a coffee or lunch in the central square, hire mountain bikes, quad bikes or maybe even a boat! The nearby Latchi beach is renowned as one of the best in Cyprus and not as crowded as the beaches in and around Paphos itself.

Latchi beach is famous for its clear blue sea, soft white sand and a great selection of watersports which are readily available. The watersports available at Latchi include diving, snorkelling, sailing, banana rides and a great deal more. Bring your UK driving licence and you can even hire a boat and explore the Akamas coast from the sea. Drop anchor when you feel like it and swim or snorkel in the warm crystal blue water of the Mediterranean Sea.For the more adventurous, you can explore the Akamas nature reserve and go all the way round to Lara Beach famous for its turtles and another wonderful unspoilt beach. You can also venture to the nearby villages of Miliou, Droushia and Panagia or further on to Kathikas with its vineyards and wineries.

Other fantastic scenery can be taken in at Cedar Valley and the Troodos mountain range where in winter, you can even ski! Paphos airport is 40 minutes away by very good quality roads with English road signs. Visit Peristerona (for a taste of the real Cyprus) and you won’t be disappointed.

''I can summarise that the villa was in excellent order when we arrived despite a quick turn around by the owner after the previous guests had left. We love the villa and the situation is exceptional with outstanding views of the surrounding countryside, towns and villages. The owner is exceptional with his care of us and we thank him for this. We intend to continue to book the villa for September time for the next few years, so as soon as you are ready we can book for 2027. Kind regards. Andrew''

''The Villa was really lovely, clean, fully equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The location is just perfect for us & a quiet vacation. The highest point of the village (Peristerona) with stunning views to the countryside & sea looking down in the distance to the Paphos/Latchi area.

Although we mainly ate at home there are several good restaurants to choose from at the old harbour area of Latchi. We particularly liked Restomare Restaurant, food & service superb.

Phillipo the owner couldn’t help enough during our stay.

Everything was perfect.''

''The villa was a 10 out of 10. Completely kitted out for every need. Large Pool and area excellent very safe for children if attending. Bedrooms large and spotlessly clean as was the rest of the villa.

On the outskirts of a lovely village Peristerona. Views from the villa, outstanding of hills sea and the Polis area 8 kilometers away. Car essential. Beaches at Polis , latchi and all within travelling distance . Local restaurants /tavernas are good. I ate regular at a fish restaurant in Latchi overlooking sea . Name I can't spell begins with Ps......... Excellent , ask for Daniel he will look after you. [ If you leave a tip which you will want too , put in his hand ,for himself ] Try their Octupus. Just brilliant. !!!! A trip up past Lysos which is a great village to see only 5 k up the hill from the villa. Great to see the views and grab a beer. Then for those enjoying a drive keep going up the hill int the forest near Stavros and beyond . Epic!!!

As agents, and as I told the owner, you are exceptionally good and attentive. All information given was very useful. You work on behalf of the owner and the guest equally well. Thankyou.

The owner was just a delight of a man to deal with who I saw only when requested and as he lived 150yds away was very easy to get hold of if the need arose. In my case not at all, however was good to have a chat when he came to water the garden. In all a great place . Please use any comment I have made if helps .

Excellent all round. Kindest Regards Geoff

''We had a great holiday, thank you. And thank you for processing the security deposit refund.

Villa Peristerona Hills is a truly exceptional villa. It is spacious, well equipped and immaculately maintained. The outdoor space is fabulous with panoramic views of the surrounding countryside and coastline.

Peristerona is a small village in the hills above Polis. The location is quiet and peaceful and yet only a 15 minute drive into Polis or 20 mins to Latchi Harbour. There are good restaurants in Latchi (we liked the informal Yialos Beach Grill) and in Polis (Moustakallis). The Watermill in the next village Steni does great BBQ ribs at the weekend. We enjoyed hiking on the Akamas and driving into the Troodos to see the Mouflons. It is well worth a trip to see the UNESCO sites in Pafos and Kurion. The children loved Pafos Waterpark.

We were very satisfied with the service and communication with LetsRentOnline. The owner Phillipos couldn't have been more friendly and welcoming. He lives in the Villa next door and was always available for us.


No suggestions for improvements, everything was perfect. If you have a rating system please put us down as a 5* or 10/10 - whatever is your best rating.

Best Regards
Martin''
