We visited Ampelitis Inn in August 2009 and had a fantastic holiday. We have a 15 year old daughter who has Cerebral palsy and is spastic quadriplegic, so lifting, handling, toileting and showering have always presented a problem for us on holiday. I can honestly say this time was very different, we had a choice of wet rooms with a shower/toilet seat that was on wheels, all the doors were wide enough and all the rooms thoughtfully laid out and spacious, added to this the indoor pool was the perfect temperature with the ceiling hoist which enabled us to get Nadine in and out of the pool without breaking our backs. She was a different child on this holiday. Everywhere on the ground floor was level access, so again no problems with the wheelchair.
The only disappointing thing was that due to past experiences we only took the manual chair but we could have taken the electric as there was plenty of room to manoeuvre, we would have also taken the manual chair for visits into Pafos etc. and next time this is what we will do. (We have already re booked.) If anyone would like to ask me any questions I will be happy for Irene to pass on my details and you can either ring me or email me

Dear Irene,
Thank you very much for sorting out with the directions with me, a week last Saturday. It turned out my mother in law had them in her bag!
Villa Kingfisher was fabulous! We have been going on villa holidays for the last 12 years to all over Europe. Villa Kingfisher is by far the best we have ever had. 5 star luxury and a great position.
Once again my sincere thanks, Sundance Villas is a holiday company that does exactly what it says in the advert – very rare.
Regards,
Colin Whittingham, Loughborough

Dear Irene,
Sorry it has taken us a while to respond, but just to let you know we had a fantastic time at Villa Alexandros. It was the perfect place to just relax and unwind for a week. The villa and its surroundings were perfect and we became quite fond of the resident donkey. We spent most days just lying by the lovely pool and enjoying the peace and quiet and then we would pop into one of the nearby villages for a lovely Cypriot meal in the evenings. When we came home we felt as if we had been away for a month because we were so relaxed. It is the ideal place to recharge your batteries. Also, thank you very much for your help with the flights, car hire, directions, etc. It just took all the stress out of booking a holiday. We will be in touch as soon as we are ready to book our next holiday.
Thanks again,
Kind regards,
Karen and Jonathan Jones, St. Ives

Hi Irene,
Just thought we would send you comments on how our holiday went in Peristerona!
Well where we begin! This was our first encounter with Cyprus, and we have to say it was a delight! Your information and directions were spot on, Villa Maria was absolutely fantastic and its location could not have been better!
Shortly after arriving and un-packing, we were greeted by Stelios, who explained a few things to us especially the air-con, which we were truly grateful for a good night's sleep!
Polis and the surrounding area were absolutely fantastic! We had a few days out from the villa. We managed to get to Kato Pyrgos and see the Cyprus equivalent of the Berlin Wall and we have to say that some of the mountain roads are a bit scary but the views most certainly compensate for this!! We also managed to get to the Troodos mountains and Mount Olympus which we were a little disappointed due to the military installation there, but again the views from the top are simply breathtaking and a welcome break from the searing heat in valley below!
We also visited quite a few restaurants in and around Polis. Baths of Aphrodite – absolutely fantastic – a really warm welcome from Dinos!
We also tried Finikas restaurant in Polis one night, which was very good, however our favourite restaurant was Moustakallis! What can we say! EXCELLENT! EXCELLENT!, EXCELLENT!!!!!!! 100% first rate – service, friendliness and food!!!! We could not believe after returning to the restaurant at least 4 days later they still remembered us - Andreas especially who made a point of coming over to our table and shaking hands with all of us! We returned to Moustakallis on our last evening (Monday 21st) as the girls said they had enjoyed it so much they wanted to spend our last night there. Again Andreas came to our table and welcomed us again, and as the night drew on he sent a free bottle of wine together with 3 ouzo’s and a brandy to our table! As we settled our bill, and said our farewells to Andreas and his staff, he produced a further bottle of wine for us to bring back to UK!!!! Now where oh where would you get service like that in the UK??????
We have had the most fantastic holiday and would certainly return again…
Well, sorry Irene that this seems to be a very long e-mail, but we so wanted to let you know how our holiday went and what we thought of the villa and Cyprus itself! One simple word - FANTASTIC!!!!! In the past we have had villas in Portugal, Spain and Florida which have been really good, but by far this has to be the best!!!
Many thanks Irene for your initial help in choosing our holiday, and we hope that next year you can do the same again!!!!
Our best wishes,
Paul, Elaine, Ella and Grace Carpenter, Hucknall

Dear Irene,
We have just returned from Cyprus and staying in Villa Jardim and have to say we all had a fantastic 2 weeks. The Villa was everything we could have wanted and the location was perfect. We like our privacy and this Villa gave you it, even though it is so close to the main Coral Bay strip, which is great if you don't want to hire a car.
Nicole was lovely and very helpful. She was there if you needed her but also left you alone to enjoy your holiday.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Villa Jardim to anyone and would definitely stay there in the future, it had all the modern comforts you could need to enjoy a fabulous holiday.
Kind regards,
Trev & Carole Brownley Mansfield, Notts.

Hi Irene,
Just some feedback on our holiday to Villa Katerina, we had a wonderful time, the weather, food, people and the villa.
My son especially enjoyed the time he spent playing with the villa owners son who was so very hospitable and kind.
It was a very relaxing holiday.
I must say I would recommend car hire though as we found it quite difficult in the heat travelling by bus.
Anyone that goes must visit Coral Bay it is spectacular.
Thanks also to Nicole for her help.
Many thanks,
Lisa Cain, Newhaven

Dear Irene,
Villa Yvonne was lovely, a home from home for 2 weeks, and for the first time ever, we did not want to come home. Owner Yvonne is a very sweet lady who made us feel welcome. The taxi was on time even though Monarch switched our planes, everything went really well. We tried the local supermarket and bakery, both were good too, but we ate out quite a lot…

Dear Irene,
We had a very enjoyable holiday at the Villa Aurora. It was much bigger than expected, and I can honestly say, that all the ingredients for a relaxing and successful holiday are present at the Villa. The weather was perfect, with cloudless skies and the pool temperature just right.
We met Mikalis and his wife, and Stephanos their son, who were very welcoming and friendly, also Dimitri your Representative, a real Gentleman.
The views are spectacular - long may they remain so! Thank you for helping to make our holiday a success, we look forward to returning.
Best regards,
David, Marina and Christopher, Great Barton

Just wanted to let you know what a wonderful stay we had at Villa Adonis. The property was really lovely, very clean and bright. Just as good was the location - it was peaceful and quiet, and at night we went to sleep to the sound of the sea breaking on the beach. The orange and lemon trees surrounding the villa were full of fruit that the children loved.
Pool was wonderful, and the children had an absolutely brilliant time in it for the whole week, as the weather was so good.
Thanks again,
Sean Carlin, Essex

Dear Irene,
Wow! Just back after staying at Villa Hermes. It was superb, a lovely relaxing time was had by all. Lisa’s Place Taverna, (as recommended by you) was so good, they could not do enough for us. They even arranged a lovely birthday cake for my daughter.
Back to the villa, I would recommend it to anyone, I could not fault it. Sundance Villas arrangements went like clockwork, so pleased. A colleague has asked for link to your site. Very happy to recommend this most excellent villa and company. Thanks Irene once again.
Already looking for next year.

Hi Irene,
We have just returned from our holiday in Cyprus and wanted to let you know we had a wonderful time at Katerina Villa/Cottage in Geroskipou. The accommodation was just as described. The new BBQ from which we enjoyed several meals was a huge success. The owner Lambros was very friendly and helpful. The freshly laid eggs which Lambros allowed us to collect were very tasty as were the fresh lemons we were able to pick from his trees. The pool was just perfect and used frequently.
Best wishes,

Irene,
We are now unfortunately back in the UK after a wonderful week at Villa Filip. The villa and service from Sundance Villas has far exceeded expectations and we would like to thank you, Nicole and Filip for making us so welcome. A week was just not long enough but we managed to relax in total peace and what a joy it was not to have others to consider when using a pool and finding somewhere to chill out for the day, hotels will no longer be an option!
We worked our way through some of the restaurant recommendations and would like to mention that at Viklari Taverna you must book to get a table overlooking the gorge and on the day we visited there was no choice of menu, only barbeque meat with salad and it didn't seem it would be different at any other time. Perhaps it should be mentioned that the journey there is on unmade roads but is well worth the effort.
Your fact sheet and advice were extremely helpful and we would have missed some of the highlights of our holiday if you and previous clients had not taken the trouble to share their experiences.
We will definitely be using Sundance Villas again now that we have found you.
Best Regards,
Jill Ward, Brentwood

Hi Irene,
Just a note to say thanks to yourself, Nicole and Andreas for a wonderful chill out week last week.
Lauren Beach's location is wonderful, private enough to feel away from people when you want to be, yet a 2 minute walk to some lovely restaurants and bars, and with many more within a romantic 10 minute stroll along the promenade.
Andreas and Nicole were very friendly and helpful. We felt help was there if required, and equally that we would be left alone unless we wanted them. Andreas and his wife are obviously very proud of their villa, and so they should be.
Once again, thanks.
Regards,
Paul and Debbie Bird, Bessacar

Hi there Irene,
This email is to just to let you know that we had a fantastic time in April at the Villa Filip at Paphos, Cyprus. It is a little paradise, and as usual, we did not want to come home.
We met Nicole OK and didn't have any problems to report. We have got to know Filipos, the landlord, very well.
Villa Filip is a very pleasant and relaxing location and Filipos looked after us very well.
Many thanks again for your help. We shall be in touch to book the Villa Filip again. It is the loveliest place we have ever stayed at, and we missed it terribly when we got home. We did say to Filipos that.
WE SHALL BE BACK!!!!
Kindest regards,
Stuart and June Miner, Kingsway

Dear Irene,
I much appreciate what you did in organising a villa at such short notice - Villa Aurora was certainly something special for one person! A fine property - I happened to visit when the garden was superb, with roses, antirrhinums, geraniums and rockery plants showing a profusion of colour - and then of course the stunning views and fresh air - what more could one ask!
Also importantly for me it was near a number of old mines.
Thank you for your interest and professionalism in arranging everything for me.
Kindest regards,
David Bartlett, Bridport

Dear Irene,
Sorry meant to mail you sooner. Just to say the holiday was fantastic – the villa exceeded our expectations, it is very spacious, tastefully furnished and the area just right for us. Even with the young people, having a car made it possible for us to get to places they were happy to be at and gave us as 'the aged- parents!' the opportunity to drop them off and go exploring. Eldest daughter’s boyfriend even commented on when returning would use same villa!!
We loved the peace of the area and the breeze being on the hillside as it was so hot. We certainly will be returning....soon we hope!! Have passed your poster and details amongst friends and work colleagues and they have been very impressed. Being able to fly from Norwich - 20 minutes from where we live makes it even more attractive - It’s the first time we have ever had a flight leave early!!
With best wishes and again very many thanks - Pauline on behalf of the Simpsons!

Hi Irene,
Just to let you know that we had a wonderful time at Villa Hermes last week.
Really nice locations for lunch or dinner at Steni on the LHS as you go through the village. Very clean and new. Also the dam between Steni and Lysos is worth a visit. At the taverna by the Baths of Aphrodite we asked about an engraving of a cross we saw in a rock on the beach and were told that in the 1950's an American airman died there and the engraving was made as a tribute to him. A nice story. The engraving is found if you go down to the beach on the LHS path from the taverna. Scramble over a few rocks and it is on the floor and the cross stem more or less points toward the cross on the little island. The Bulgarian waitress (who also works at the gift shop near the baths entrance) knows all about it. Although we missed it, as it is on sun morning, there is a car boot sale just off the Paphos airport turn on the left as you head toward Paphos.
What friendly people the Islanders are...
We want to book same villa next year sometime.
Regards,
Tony

Dear Irene
I wanted to write to you to say how much we enjoyed our holiday at Villa Hermes. It is a beautiful place to stay, the views and wonderful and the sunsets are spectacular. I don't ever think I have been able to be in a swimming pool and watch the sunset over the sea before.
Afrou was very friendly, and never bothered us, not even when she was cleaning the villa or the pool. We were sorry that we never got a chance to thank her ourselves, please pass on our gratitude to her.
My parents have never been on a villa holiday, and they loved it.
The whole holiday experience was great all the travel arrangements went like clockwork, and the airline staff were so helpful, particularly to my Mother, with all the additional assistance she required.
I will absolutely recommend Sundance Villas to anyone looking for a villa holiday, and we also feel that the area Argaka was the best place to stay, although Polis and Latchi were lovely too.
We had some lovely meals Demetris, Lisa's Place (lovely meat meze) and our favourite place Moustakallis in Polis, the Manager was so lovely. We also would recommend the Sunset cruise from Paphos.
All in all it was a lovely holiday, thank you so much.

Hi Irene,
I just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks. We had a great time and the villa and car hire worked out well, thank you for all your help and organisation. Villa Ge Sephi was fantastic and accommodated us very comfortably, we hadn't expected it to be so warm in the evenings but that was soon sorted by the air con.
Nick was charming, he met us both on arrival and departure and the cars worked out perfectly, thank you for the recommendation.
All in all it was very relaxing and easily lived up to expectations. We’ll be returning next year if we can manage it.
Regards,
Angus Coats, London
