Villa Astro is situated on the coastline of Argaka, a beautiful and somewhat unspoilt Cypriot Village sandwiched between the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea and some spectacular mountains filled with pine trees.
Argaka is home to a number of traditional Cypriot restaurants, a beach bar and an Irish Bar as well as a bakery and 2 mini-markets. Many of these amenities are in walking distance of the villa or within a very short car journey. Travel a little way and you reach the bigger town of Polis.
There is plenty of activity to choose from, whether you wish to dine in one of the many restaurants, shop at some larger supermarkets, hire mountain bikes, quad bikes or just watch the world go by in the ambience of the traditional village square.
The nearby Latchi beach is renowned as one of the best on this side of the island and not as crowded as the beaches in and around Paphos itself (which can be reached by car in 30 minutes or under). Latchi beach is famous for its clear blue sea, soft white sand and a great selection of watersports which are readily available. Take one of the boat rides (or even hire your own) to the ‘blue lagoon', have a swim and/or snorkel, then come back to the pretty harbour/fishing port and have the famous ‘Fish Meze' where you will be served approx 20 dishes including some of the freshest catches of the day whilst watching the world go by.
For the more adventurous, you can enter the 'Akamas' Nature reserve and go all the way round to 'Lara Beach' famous for its turtles and wonderful beach. If it is unspoilt Cyprus you are looking for, this is a great area to visit. You may even venture into the nearby villages of Peristerona, Lysos and Miliou or further on to Kathikas (with its vineyards and wineries), Droushia and Panagia. Other fantastic scenery can be taken in at Cedar Valley and the Troodos mountain range where in Winter, you can even Ski!Paphos airport is 1 hour away by very good quality roads with English road signs. Visit Argaka and you won't be disappointed.

''Good villa, lots of room and good layout inside and out for our family. The location was good for us, quiet but that's what we wanted. In hindsight a car would have been useful. The weather was great for mid october. We enjoyed everywhere we ate. The dancing, music and buffet at the traditional restaurant locally was very good as was our meal there previously. We also really enjoyed Noma in Latchi.
Really good service from you as agents, thank you. Locally also excellent. Georgiou was really helpful and called by a couple of times to check everything was ok for us and even brought an orange cake which was delicious. The provisions in the villa for our arrival were very helpful, and all instructions and details were clear for villa use.
Thanks again, we had a lovely time.''

''Very nice villa well equipped in the kitchen and with a lovely pool and area with enough sun beds . Bedrooms upstairs with bath en-suites are beautiful bedrooms down stairs with shower en-suites perhaps slightly less modern in bed linen . For an all adult party stay it would be better if both upstairs were king size beds but can understand why they were twins (we were pleased our instructions to make all rooms as doubles was completed ) nice touch with pool table and table tennis. Overall excellent we really liked it and enjoyed our stay -we would recommend this villa to others
We have driven past Argaka before and like it . We thought the location opposite Santa Barbara beach bar was fantastic and over the road to the sea and pebble beach . ( we swam in the sea and it was great ) The new coastal path pavement is also great and helpful just to go to the Irish bar or coffee shop. The directions you provided with the big supermarket was also extremely helpful and useful in that it’s not far away either
Santa Barbara beach bar is excellent for breakfast or dinner and lovely position on the beach . Paphos harbour walk and shops is a good day out. Troodos mountains are also close if you have a car
Great email exchanges and instructions for arrival , also good comms with the property manager Georgios . Would definitely feel happy about booking another property with your company
We had a great time ''

''We had a great holiday in Villa Astro. Large airy rooms with A/C not that we needed to use it. Weather was good. Location was peaceful, near the beach could hear the waves and plenty of bird song. We loved the Santa Baraba bar situated on the beach within 2 min walking distance. Great food lots of choices and great cocktails ! Great play park for the children too. Near the beach and bar.
There were other restaurants nearby but we didn’t try them. Polis and lahtchi are worth a visit with bars and shops.
The communication from the company were excellent and local agent Georgios was brilliant. Have some intention to return in next couple of years to Cyprus and other Greek islands. Many thanks we had a great holiday. Kind regards
Helen and family ''

''Villa Astro is a gorgeous villa in a peaceful location. Beautiful inside & out, everything you need is provided, (except for a working corkscrew, very frustrating but we managed [Emoji Removed]) Lovely quiet location, car is necessary for grocery shopping.
Santa Barbara Beach bar & Restaurant, is lovely 5 minute (slow) walk from villa. Great staff & lovely food & drinks.
Stephen provided excellent service, answering all queries in a timely manner, nothing was too much trouble. A real credit to the company. Georgiou was very attentive and helpful without being intrusive, we had a couple of small issues (nothing that really mattered) and he sorted them the same day. And he brought cake - twice!! '
Agent Note: Thanks for all your feedback Amanda. The owner has replaced the missing corkscrew and is always on hand for any issues. Santa Barbara is only 100m from the villa but we appreciate slow walking is more normal in such warm weather. We hope to welcome you back soon. Many thanks again
