This beautiful stone village house has been lovingly restored to provide spacious 4 bedroom accommodation, with peaceful and secluded courtyards outside.
Many original features have been retained, and yet the house offers every possible modern convenience. There are beamed and boarded ceilings throughout, several old stone features such as water-cooling niches, and the 2 magnificent stone arches that span the large living area.
The house benefits from oil-fired central heating, as well as having an open stone fireplace to the living room.
Several fly screens have been fitted to essential windows, and all windows and patio doors are double-glazed.
Anogyra is located on the elevated open countryside area, about 12 kilometres inland from the bay of Akrotiri, and around 30 minutes drive from both Pafos and Limassol. This lovely village has attracted a great deal of investment in recent years, and many of the old stone properties have been restored to a very high standard. In addition to these very attractive residential properties, Anogyra boasts a few small shops, an old church, and several excellent tavernas, two of them with swimming pools. In addition, a carob museum has recently opened in the village, in an old restored property, and a few kilometres outside the village is a further museum and small theme park, which is dedicated to the history of the olive industry, and the production of olive oil.
Limassol is the nearest large town, with its many excellent shops, its supermarkets, its Turkish quarter, and its old castle and harbour, and is about 20 minutes drive away, along the main Pafos/Limassol/Nicosia highway, which is only 10 kilometres from the village. Beyond Limassol, about another 30 minutes drive away, is the main international airport at Larnaca, while Pafos airport is around 25 minutes from the village, along the beautiful coastline that passes Petra tou Romiou, where legend has it that Aphrodite first rose from the sea.
The road inland from the village leads through extensive wine-producing country to the mountain range of Troodos and Mount Olympus, and all the lovely unspoilt mountain villages that are scattered on the hillsides.
