| Description
Polis Castle is a comfortable and spacious stone house, enclosed by high stone “castle” walls, tucked away in a private lane just leading to the 3 villas. There are banana, olive and palm trees in the gated garden, and there is private parking. The kitchen window is much wider and lower than usual, enabling one to see within the pool. Great if you have children.
The villa is uniquely situated actually within Polis Town itself, which has an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, bars, banks etc. from 1 mins walk. Polis square, (2 mins walk) has a fantastic selection of bars and restaurants including favourites Moustakallis and Finikas. There is something for everyone here, and a lovely laid back atmosphere too.
The sandy beach is approx 15 mins walk and there is a regular bus service to Paphos and Coral Bay. 
Latchi harbour and sandy beach is 5 minutes drive.
We have 2 villas here, all very similar. Polis Castle and Polis Hideaway. Both villas have their own private pool and enclosed garden.
Although Polis is classed as a town, it has a “village” feel to it and has many attractive renovated properties. To give you an idea of its size, you could walk through Polis in 15 minutes. It is still extremely “Cypriot”, with most restaurants and shops being run by the family. Cheaper to eat out here than in Paphos, and the restaurants are all in hot competition to serve you the best food and give the friendliest service. Many, like Mosfilo, Taverna (150m) serve the traditional specialities, like delicious kollo kassi, afelia, stifado etc. Even simple food like stuffed tomatoes tastes wonderful due to home grown local produce being used.
The Akamas National Park is nearby, and offers beautiful countryside and uncrowded beaches, all protected from development. These include sandy Lara Bay, where the turtles nest, and Chrysochou Bay, which offers mile after mile of quiet beaches alongside citrus groves, with a dramatic backdrop of hills.

Testimonials for Polis Castle updated July 2010
Dear Irene,
We had a wonderful relaxing holiday at Polis Castle. We're a family of mum, dad, teenage son and younger daughter and the villa was a perfect size for us. The villa was clean and well equipped. We loved the pool and the courtyard garden. When we arrived the welcome pack far exceeded anything we've ever had on our previous holidays. The owners Dimitri and Zoe were absolute stars, they were unobtrusive but right on hand if anything was needed. Zoe came along one morning to supply us with freshly baked pastries which were delicious and fresh figs on another day. They really are very nice people.
We've been to Polis numerous times in the past although this was the first time in 6 years. We were delighted to find that it's still very unspoilt and cypriot. Lots of nice restaurants but our favourite by a 100 miles is Moustakallis, not only fantastic food but Andreas and his staff are real characters, nothing is too much trouble.
We are really impressed with the service we got from Sundance Villas, everything sorted with no fuss and no hard sell. We will definitely be back and will be recommending Sundance to anyone that will listen!!

Hi Irene
I stayed at the Polis Castle 3 bed villa from 11th June to 18th and just wanted to drop you a quick e-mail to say how much I enjoyed it.
The owners were very helpful and kind, even providing some home cooking one day, and the villa itself was perfect and was very convenient for the cafes and restaurants in the town centre.
Thank you for your assistance with this booking, and I would not hesitate to use your company again.

Dear Irene,
We have just returned from our holiday at Polis Castle. The villa was absolutely perfect, we ended up spending most of our time there just lazing around the pool. The villa was so comfortable and Joy the owner brought us bread over on the Saturday that was delicious, like nothing we've tasted, and brought us another gift on the last day, she made us feel very welcome.
The positioning of the villa was great, with the wonderful 'Old Town Restaurant' very close by which had the best food ever tasted, and the setting of the garden area for eating was perfect, and other great restaurants in the square so close by we were spoilt for choice! We took a walk down to the beach one day and were very surprised at how close by it was.... a very nice 10 - 15 minute stroll. The supermarket just down the road had everything and more that we could've needed so had we not wanted to explore the rest of Cyprus we wouldn't really have needed a car, but with Polis being such a perfect starting point for so many scenic routes we couldn't help but explore.
Thank you again for the booking and we will definitely be recommending to all our friends and family and hopefully visit again soon ourselves.
Kind regards,
Jo and Ben Norwich

Hi Irene,
Unfortunately/fortunately we did not get away from Cyprus in time due to the volcano.
Easijet have been looking after us and we are now at our 2nd 4* hotel (Ledra Beach) and willbe here till 27th April!*!
We enjoyed our stay at Polis Castle and appreciated the extra space that the upgrade gave us. It was well equipped and Dimitri and his wife Zoe were very welcoming.
Our favourite place to eat was the Mosfilo taverna on the corner (in the old UN building).
Regards
Fiona/Rod

Dear Mrs Hare,
Just a little note to say thank you for a lovely villa Polis Castle and to say how much we all enjoyed ourselves, we did a lot and had some lovely meals out at different restaurants. Everyone was so helpful and kind. Dimitris and Zoe were so nice and gave us directions to things to see. We did manage to get lost a couple of times but it was all part of the holiday. We hope one day to go back again.
On behalf of my family and my husband and me, thank you for a lovely memorable holiday.
With kind regards,
Phyl and Keith Hall

Dear Irene,
We have just returned from our week in Cyprus and before we get back to work I wanted to provide some feedback, and you might like to use the following for a review of Polis Castle:
Polis Castle is a very spacious and comfortable house in an excellent position in Polis. This central, yet quiet and private location, is just a five minute walk from restaurants, shops, supermarkets, tourist information and other amenities. Polis has the feel of a village rather than a town and we felt very at home and safe here. We were very pleased that we opted for Polis….. The owners of Polis Castle, Dimitri and Zoe, were extremely helpful and friendly, without being in any way intrusive, and were extremely polite and considerate in answering our questions.
