Location description
Aunt Maria's traditional house occupies an elevated location near the village square; it is surrounded by impressive stone-built walls and a landscaped garden with stone paved patios. It can be reached by a car to the front door and has adjacent parking that belongs to the building.The picturesque village of Pano Lefkara is renowned for its beauty and exceptional architecture as well as the local hand-made lace and silver artifacts. It is a relatively large mountain village for Cyprus standards, population around 1000, with grocery stores, banks, restaurants, hospital, regional schools. It is quiet and has no traffic lights.
The entire village has been placed under a preservation act and the countryside remains pristine. It is close enough to the beach for daily visits but at a comfortable distance and elevation to enjoy cooler dry weather in the summers. Tradition is apparent everywhere in Lefkara from the old stone houses, preserved to this day, the narrow stone- paved alleys adorned with flowers, to the local women embroidering in the courtyards and the streets in front of their doors.
The air in Lefkara feels clean; the sky is blue and the smell of the blooming almond trees and flowers in the spring an unforgettable experience. In the evening the stars glimmer in the sky and the lights of the towns below shine in the distance.
Lefkara is not only peaceful and quiet it is a beautiful village and a perfect starting point to explore both rural Cyprus and the cities. A daily visit to the beach is as easy as it can be. This jewel of the Cyprus villages, in the southern foothills of the Troodos Mountains, is only 15 minutes away from the blue flag Governor's beach and less than a 45 minutes drive from the major towns of Nicosia, Limassol and Larnaca. It is close to archaeological sites, medieval convents and monasteries and picturesque mountain villages.
Lefkara offers cool, dry weather, unspoiled countryside and the opportunity to relax in a friendly and peaceful rural environment, take short trips to explore Cyprus and enjoy the Cyprus sun.
