Experience the romantic atmosphere of Cyprus Villages. The apartment complex including the tavern and pool is located between Larnaca and Limassol, about 6 miles from the beach, in the small mountain village of Tochni. Cyprus Villages offers you the opportunity to live in a traditional stone house. Stroll through the narrow alleys around the village square and enjoy a coffee in the traditional coffee shop. You will participate in the authentic village life with Mediterranean flair. The hospitality of the Cypriots is famous. Their motto, "Kopiaste", means: Come, sit with us! The central location and proximity to the sea make Tochni an ideal place to combine cosy beach holidays with various activities and excursions.
The Cypriot home cooking is freshly prepared from local products and mostly from the own organic garden at the Tochni Taverna. Dining on the Taverna terrace, you also enjoy a magnificent panoramic view over the entire village, the surroundings up to the sea. The apartments are about a 3-minute walk from the tavern. Both breakfast and dinner are served at the Tochni Taverna, where typical local dishes and, on request, vegetarian or vegan meals are offered.
