''Let’s Rent Online continues to impress with their consistently excellent service and communication. The information provided is always clear, helpful, and easy to follow, which makes booking and preparing for a trip seamless.

The property, The Retreat, was outstanding — spacious, with a well-equipped kitchen and a swimming pool that was noticeably larger than most. The location was perfect: very private and secluded, yet conveniently close to local bars, restaurants, and the beach.

There were several standout dining options nearby. The Stone Lion is a popular choice, especially on weekends, with generous portions and a dessert menu full of exceptional homemade cakes. The Watermill Café in Steni offers good food at reasonable prices, just a short distance from the villa. Moustakallis in Polis never disappoints, serving consistently high-quality meals with a warm welcome from the family and staff.

Local support was also exceptional. Katrina, the local manager, was incredibly kind and welcoming — nothing was too much trouble. The thoughtful welcome pack and personal touches really added to the experience.

I always recommend Let’s Rent Online to any friends thinking of going to Cyprus. Once again, they’ve delivered a flawless holiday experience.''

''We all had a truly lovely time in Cyprus—nobody wanted to return home at the end of our stay! Rest assured, we will definitely be back.

To answer some of your questions:

The villa, The Retreat Villa, was exceptional. The villa itself was excellent—well maintained, comfortable, and fully equipped. The outdoor areas were also beautifully kept. The pool was wonderful—large enough for five adults to enjoy comfortably. The pool table got plenty of use, though it is showing its age a little and could benefit from a bit of an upgrade or restoration. That said, we happily made do with its quirks.

The location was perfect for us. We openly admit we’re not party people and prefer peace and quiet. The Retreat Villa was ideally situated—remote enough to offer tranquillity, yet close enough to Polis for grocery shopping during the day and dining out in the evening.

We would recommend Papantoniou Supermarket in Polis, which is only about 9km from the villa. It stocked everything we needed for our self-catering holiday and had a great mix of familiar products and local brands.

We also highly recommend Moustakallis Tavern and Restaurant in Polis. We enjoyed it so much we ended up dining there every night! The prices were reasonable—around €125 each night for five adults including starters, mains, and drinks. Two members of our group are gluten intolerant, and the menu was clearly marked with allergens. The staff were incredibly accommodating and happy to adapt dishes to suit dietary needs. Service was impressively swift: starters arrived within five minutes of ordering, and mains followed promptly after. We never felt rushed, and Andreas was always available to assist or answer questions. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him or his team.

The service and communication from both yourselves and Katrina were excellent and couldn’t be faulted.

All in all, we had a wonderful stay in Cyprus. We’ll definitely be back, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book through LetsRentOnline again—or to stay at The Retreat Villa a second time.

Thank you for a truly memorable holiday.

Warm regards,
Adrian & Family ''

Amazing villa

Words cannot accurately explain the peacefulness of the villa, only 15 minutes drive to latchi beach and Polis but everything you need for a perfect stay. Have booked again for next year and expect this to be a regular holiday for us.

Great Villa

Booking process easy enough. Our only problem was that when we turned up at the villa the owners daughter was living there so the property was not ready or clean for us. The owners did turn up and sort out the villa for us to stay in and came back the next day to clean the whole property. The villa is wonderful though and the pool amazing.
