Troodos Mountains, Cyprus

Four houses, two villages, one mountain range.

A small collection of stays: three houses at the eastern gate of Kyperounta, the third-highest village in Cyprus, with pine forest, an award-winning winery down the road and Agridia's quiet ridge across the valley, and a fourth in the foothills below.

1300
metres above sea level
Kyperounta, at about 1,300 metres, is the third-highest village in Cyprus: cool in summer, wood-smoke and snow-close in winter. Every house on this plot looks out at something different. Our fourth house, Foothill Calm, sits lower down in the quiet foothills.

Mila Nest

Garden-level calm, apple-country charm.

The Little Retreat

Small footprint, big mountain calm.

The quiet companion to 1300 Retreat — entered from the Agridia-facing side, sharing the same garden as Mila Nest. Built for two, with a proper desk for the days you don't want to leave.

1 Bedroom · Troodos foothills

Foothill Calm

Slow days at the foot of the mountains.

A one-bedroom villa on two floors in Agios Georgios Kafkallou, a tiny village in the Troodos foothills. The bedroom sits below street level and opens straight onto its own private garden, with the mountain in view. Very quiet, and made for rest — or for remote work, if you want somewhere peaceful to focus.

Private garden Mountain view Quiet village

Good to know: two floors with stairs between them, and a car is needed. The nearest shops are in neighbouring villages, so bring groceries.

The Area

Raw Troodos, on your doorstep.

Kyperounta is the third-highest village in Cyprus, at about 1,300 metres in the heart of the Troodos range. The houses sit at the eastern edge of the village, on the road toward Chandria — Kyperounda Winery, whose vineyards are among the highest in Europe, is a little further along the same road.

The village centre — taverns, cafés, small museums and old churches — is a 20-minute walk through the village and its views, or a four-minute drive. Two nature trails start from the village itself, and when there is enough snow, usually between January and March, you can ski on Mount Olympus in the same mountains.

The Foothills

Quiet hills, painted churches, slow days.

Agios Georgios Kafkallou is a tiny village in northern Pitsilia, on the foothills of the Troodos Mountains in Nicosia District. Around 26 people lived here at the 2011 census, so the quiet is real.

The Xyliatos lake trail and Panagia Asinou, a UNESCO-listed church with 12th-century frescoes, are close by. Kakopetria, with its river walk and tavernas, is a short drive away. Shops are in the neighbouring villages, so it's best to stock up on the way.

  • HikeXyliatos dam trail — an easy walk round the lake through pine forest, with a picnic area.
  • WalkVateri river trail, Kakopetria — an easy riverside path with bridges and benches.
  • SeePanagia Asinou, near Nikitari — a UNESCO-listed painted church. Check opening times before you go.
  • Eat & DrinkKakopetria's tavernas, Boukkoma brunch and ice cream at Xyliatos, and Avli Project in the village. Opening days vary.
  • WineMarathasa Wines, Oikos — guided tastings with mountain views.
