Villa Karobbi

Additional Features

Outside

The secluded private 5mt pool is a washover design and has a uniform depth of 130cms. Wide steps make it easy to get in and out of and the water treatment is from a 'salt water chlorination'. The slight salt content of the water releases just the right amount of chlorine when treated by the "Watermaid" electrical process, and leaves your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.

Coast/Beach
The coast is 800 meters away, just a 10 min walk down through the houses and the olive groves.
There is a wide variety of swimming spots to choose from. little known sandy creeks among the rocks, tourist beaches with sunbeds galore, fish restaurant beaches, turtle conservation project beach (1km of sand, the best!). The water is crystal clear, and snorkelling the rocky parts of the coast is a treat.

Golf
The fabulous Korineum Golf and Country Club 18 hole course is a short 10 min drive along the coast. The greens are immaculate even in mid summer due to watering from a desalination plant. Set in rolling hills amongst olive trees and with beautiful sea views. Check out their web page for full details.

Guest comments
Thank you Michael and Viola, your lovely house allowed us to balance the different needs of our family. The 'beach and night life' generation were happy and so were the 'chill out in the shade with a good book' crew. The old style Cypriot architecture certainly understood how to create cool living spaces. Why do the villagers spend all their hours talking in the cafes? Sue Francis and Co. Exeter UK
