Villa Marpesia - Three Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 6

This charming and beautiful beach house can be found just moments from the sea, offering fabulous views of the Ayia Thekla coastline. One of the best features of Villa Marpesia is the gorgeous azure plunge pool surrounded by copious terrace space, with plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas for shade. Exotic palm trees encompass the pool, adding fresh greenery which you can admire as you take a refreshing dip in the pool.

Beyond the pool area, there is a lush lawn that extends all the way out to the Mediterranean Sea. Look out over the whitewashed villa walls to the sparkling sea views. There are balconies around the property where you can admire the sunsets.

Step through the huge windows into the open plan living space, with crisp white walls and a dove grey corner sofa - perfect for unwinding on after a long day exploring Cyprus. There are tiled cream floors and high ceilings, and huge windows where you can look out to the pool and sea. A flatscreen television is mounted on the wall, above a state of the art sound system.

Just beyond the living room is the well-equipped kitchen, also decked out in white with pale wood, perfect for whipping up home-cooked meals for the family. Dine either inside at the table in the living room or out on the terrace, where there are benches and wooden chairs surrounding a glossy black coffee table. Potted plants decorate the space and add fresh greenery.

The bedrooms are designed with a tasteful simplicity that embodies luxury and elegance, and are accessed up by the wooden staircase. A selection of twin and double beds await, adorned with crisp white line that promise a restful night's sleep. Windows in rows of three allow plenty of natural light in, and all rooms have pale wood fitted wardrobes with plenty of space to store your belongings.

Location:

 Just a few minutes from the beach in the Sotira region, this villa is in a peaceful area near Ayia Thekla. Sotira means 'saviour' and is a province from the Byzantine area. In the town, there are a number of historical churches from the 13th-16th century with post Kominian art including one called Ayios Monas Citadel, which has gorgeous ancient frescoes.

Sirens beach is a picturesque bay with golden sand, a hundred swirling shades of blue and a backdrop of the luscious forest. It is a fantastic quiet beach to enjoy unspoilt nature. There is a single beach bar where you can rent sunbeds and umbrellas if you like. A little more lively yet still family-friendly, Ayia Thekla beach was named after the centuries-old church there. With its powdery sand and shimmering turquoise water, this beach is picturesque, family-friendly and has no shortage of umbrellas for some shade!

This villa is also close to Ayia Thekla, just outside of Ayia Napa. This area on the southeastern coast of Cyprus is known as a party destination, but Ayia Napa is also bursting with rich history and culture. In the centre of town, there is a well known ancient monastery with a tranquil garden setting and a medieval church. Made from honey-coloured limestone with Byzantine influences, this monastery even includes a cave.

Cyprus as an island is dotted with vineyards, pine trees and beautiful meadows. The coastline is adorned with dazzling white-sand beaches and impossibly blue water, while there's hiking, museums and ancient ruins to explore inland. In Ayia Napa town you'll find an impressive selection of atmospheric restaurants and folklore bars, as well as a buzzing nightlife.

A great example of Cyprus's dazzling nature is Cape Greco National Park with its sublime hiking trails such as Aphrodite's Nature Trail. This path has amazing views over the coastline below. Arguably the most spectacular attraction in Cape Greco is the array of sea caves and strange rock formations that have formed natural cavities, nooks and crannies that divers adore. You can swim in the crystalline waters here.

Take a day trip to Paphos to better understand Cyprus' culture and tumultuous history - the island has one of the oldest civilisations in the Mediterranean area. With brilliantly preserved tombs, Roman ruins and ancient mosaics, there's so much to see and do in Paphos. The Tombs of the Kings, interestingly, has nothing to do with royalty but were named after how grand the underground chambers and tombs were.

Paphos is where you will find Aphrodite's Rock, the spiritual home of the Greek goddess of love. Aphrodite is said to have been born of the sea foam in Paphos. Swim around the rock three times you will be blessed with eternal youth, true love, beauty, good fortune and fertility according to ancient mythology.

In Cyprus, food is an integral part of family get-togethers and festivals. Dishes draw influences from Greece and the Middle East, with elements of past civilisations such as Roman root vegetables. The best way to start is with a traditional meze platter with lots of dips. Famously, Cyprus is where halloumi originates, grilled or barbecued and served with pitta bread, hummus and salad.
