PERFECT Accommodation:
For us the villa is in the perfect location, easy to find from directions supplied, short drive from airport and/or in to Pathos, Taverna in walking distance, supermarket a couple of minutes drive. It is situated in a quiet residential street, and is very peaceful and quiet. We hired a car but you could survive on taxi's/local transport from the main road, although Pathos too far to walk. John and Ann are lovely, genuine people who do all they can to make sure the villa is perfect and that you enjoy your stay. they met us at the villa to show us round and were on call the whole time we were there should we need anything, and although we didn't, it was reassuring to know. The villa is spotless, immaculately kept and fully kitted out with everything you could need. Didnt go on holiday to watch TV, but as the world cup was on, it was handy to have all the UK channels. DVD player was also handy for nights in. the Pool and Hot tub are spotless and amazing, the outside space is also well kept and spacious.
All 3 double bedrooms have on suit toilets and showers, the main bedroom also has a bath. Our favourite place to sit in the evening was the upper viewing balcony overlooking the villages and the sea and looking at the big starry sky. Cant report much on local beaches as we didnt bother, but Pathos harbour and town have a nice feel to them. We found it handy having a car, pathos is too far to walk but there are local buses and of course taxi's. If you do hire a car, the roads are better than ours and driving on the same side as us makes getting around very easy. A handy base if you do want to do some exploring. All in all cannot praise the place and John and Ann's efforts enough and we will definitely be returning should we want a villa holiday in Cyprus again. Thanks John and Ann for you local knowledge and tips, and for making our holiday so trouble free by ensuring the villa is 100% immaculate.
Best Villa Holiday ever, relaxing, peaceful and luxurious!

FIVE STARS
5 STARS:
Well equipped and maintained, spacious, clean and a great view. Left on 20, for a stay in July 2018. We chose this villa primarily because of its location between Paphos and the airport. It is set up high overlooking open ground with panoramic views towards the sea. The villa has plenty of space for three couples and is comfortable and well equipped. John & Ann were very helpful and efficient and kept the villa looking immaculate, including cleaning the pool and hot tub every 3 days which were excellent. The villa is at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with both on-road and on-drive parking. A hire car is pretty essential but a well stocked supermarket and a good taverna are a short walk away. Paphos is a good base from which to visit much of the western part of Cyprus including Akamas, Polis, Troodos and a multitude of interesting villages.

Wonderful Holiday
This year due to many disappointments over the past few years taking our annual holidays in so called luxury 4 and 5 star hotels using our local high street travel agents, we decided to do something different this year. So we booked a short break in a villa from the internet and went self catering. After some debate we decided on Cyprus and booked the villa Hieros Kepos. What a difference, the villa was great and the owners we exceptionally helpful. The weather was pleasant for that time of the year and the private swimming pool we had heated at an extra cost but was worth every penny as the kids were never out of it. There is also a Spa hot tub that Jan and I spent most evenings using with a glass of wine at hand. Superb facilities and far better than any hotels we have stayed in over the past few years. So pleased we have booked again before our departure for later on this year.

JUST BRILL.... brilliant !!
We have had a wonderful ten days back at the Villa Hieros Kepos. Ann and John are always very helpful and offer us a warm friendly welcome to their villa in Paphos. They showed us around the villa and explained where everything was and answered our questions. The bedrooms have there own bathrooms with sea views from the balcony. The beds were very comfortable. The open plan lounge and dining area is spacious. Everywhere is lovely and clean. It was a great holiday. I can't fault the Villa Hieros Kepos in anyway at all and hope to return again next year.

Got to give this holiday a Five Star Rating.
We will definitely be back and can not recommend the villa highly enough.
The villa has a well equipped kitchen, as in home from home. Lounge is very comfortable with all the UK tv channels available including the sports channels and they all worked ok…hoorah. South facing with all day sun and great sea views/sunsets. Its ten minutes walk to the local supermarket, bakery or a further short walk into Yeroskipou, where you will find good taverns, banks, a historic church in a super village square. The villa has a private heated pool, not that we needed the heating in July and a spa hot tub and bbq. We will be back and we will book this villa again. Thank you John and Ann for a wonderful holiday.

Traumhafter Urlaub dank eines wunderbaren Hauses
John und Ann sind total liebe und nette Gastgeber, das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich nur wünschen kann und noch vielem mehr! Außerdem haben die zwei immer einen Tipp für Unternehmungen und Zeit für ein nettes Gespräch. Das Haus ist super gepflegt, alles ist sauber und die Handtücher und Bettwäsche werden nach einer Woche gereinigt. Pool und Whirlpool machen den Urlaub zu einem perfekten Auszeit! Jeder Zeit wieder und wir kommen wieder! Danke Ann und John!

Beautiful villa for restful holidays
The villa has all we needed, is spotless and clean and is well located near Paphos seafront. We have enjoyed the hot tub nearly each evening which is really a plus. The sea view is beautiful. We have spent a very good holiday time at Villa Hieros Kepos.

The Villa is a great place to relax and calm down from any kind of stress one my recently have suffered from. Not only it is equipped with modern entertainment devices but also with all tools you can think of for making wonderful meals. Whether it is the oven or the BBQ-grill: everything is fully functional and meets high standards. The villa itself is very comfortable for up to 6 people. All the bedrooms do have their own bathrooms. Hence, it is perfect to travel with friends or relatives (like grandma & grandpa). The car can be parked directly on the parking space on the property. The villa is surrounded by hedges allowing for a very private holiday. Kids are safe to play outside as a fence will prevent anybody entering the villa's ground without explicit permission. The private pool can be heated (at additional cost). We used that opportunity and haven't regretted a single penny invested. In addition there is a hot-tube which we used frequently in the evenings...there is little more relaxing on this earth than sitting in a hot-tube with a glass of good wine and watching the stars above you, enjoying the silence and peace around you. It must be noted that the owners (Ann & John Richards) are hosts by heart! They used to run a hotel in the U.K. until retired. Everything in this villa proves their experience and how much they are dedicated to serve their guests! We have stayed there for two times and just booked our third visit and we are sure there are a lot more visits to come. The villa is in Geroskipou, suburb of Paphos. Paphos itself has lots of archaeological sites worth a visit. It is also a very good starting point for any kind of explorations to Akamas or Troodos. The Pafos Zoo is probably worth a visit with the kids. We can just highly recommend this place!
PS: Its now pretty much one year until our next visit. So I do wish you a wonderful next 12 months and hopefully you get the chance to see your youngest grandson during this time! We would like to take the opportunity to thank you once more for your great hospitality. We very much enjoyed the coffee with the both of you at the harbour. Though it was not planned you paying the show! We therefore would hope having another opportunity to invite you next year, at our expense.
Best,

Fantastic Villa *****
We met the lovely john and Ann at the property where he went through everything you needed to know and more! The villa is amazing they have put a lot of effort to add everything you need for an amazing and relaxed time. The view from the balcony of the sunset is brilliant. The kitchen is more than well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The BBQ has to be an industrial one complete with spit roast hot plates and grills ( very jealous) love it!
All rooms clean, roomy and well presented. The heated pool and hot tub were appreciated by all the pool towels, inflatables and sun loungers were all 1st class The whole set up is second to none, we will be back and would just like to say a big THANK YOU to John and Ann for there loan of their amazing villa. Also thank you for allowing us the late checkout made a perfect end to a perfect holiday.

4/5 **** Lovely Villa.
We all enjoyed our stay at the Villa HK. Plenty of space for the 6 of us. Welcome by John & Ann covered everything we needed to know and as we did not have a car rental, we appreciated the deliveries of large water bottles for the villa cooler machine.

5 star villa Hieros Kepos in Paphos:
Thank you John and Ann for a very warm welcome and use of the villa.
The villa is well looked after and had everything we needed. We have stayed in many villas and some can be described as "Lacking". Not the case here.
John came to clean the swimming pool and hot tub and gave us advise on places to visit, so we hired a car which was definitely a plus.
Pool and hot tub, shaded areas, lovely sea views....so what more can you ask for. Great place to site see and relax at the same time. We will be back.

5 STARS: Thank you John & Ann for a warm welcome to your villa in Paphos. The villa is lovely and well looked after.
John & Ann explained all we needed to know around the villa and John came in twice a week to clean the pool and check the hot tub. When we asked John for a eating out recommendation, he told us "just a short walk from the villa was Costas taverna offering meze`s" and what a great experience that was with live Greek music on the weekend. Warning here.... do not eat after breakfast as the food just keeps coming. Great value was had.
Great fruit was available in the villa gardens and John told us to eat what we wanted as it would only go to waist. We felt welcomed here and both John & Ann definitely made it a home from home for our two week holidays..

***** stars.
We were met by the owners john & ann who showed us round the villa and explained how everything worked, they supplied a welcome pack which included essentials until we got to supermarket which was most appreciated. The villa was stunning and very well maintained, pool and hot tub cleaned twice a week by john. Situated in a quiet cul de sac so you can relax but close enough to get to town, we were recommended to use rockys taxi which was excellent and we hired a car for couple of days. supermarket just a short walk from villa which has everything you need. I would highly recommend this villa as we had a fabulous week and it is really a home from home in every way and john & ann were great they could not have been anymore helpful, we will definitely be returning in the near future.

***** 5 stars. Super villa with lovely views to sea. Bedrooms very comfortable and has everything and more to make your holiday a relaxing vacation. Must give a 5 star recommendation to anyone wishing to book a relaxing vacation.
John and Anne were very helpful to us all and Emma Rose enjoyed the private swimming pool. The weather was not kind to us but that did not stop us having a good time. When back in Cyprus we will look no further and book the Hieros Kepos again. Have a good year.

We have rented this house from John and Anne end of March 2019 and we have to say that this was one of the best houses we have ever rented in the Mediterranean area. The house has 3 large bedrooms and every room has its own bath room. The living area is large and nicely equipped with high quality furniture and electronic entertainment system. The TV is really very large with hundred of channels. The kitchen has all necessary tools and again everything is modern and in very good shape. The complete house is very very very clean! We loved that! The highlight is the large private pool (which we did not use because it was to chilly outside) and the large and modern hot tub (that, we used every day in the evening, what can be more relaxing than sitting in warm bubbling water and watching the stars :-). The owners John and Anne are very kind and always helpful. This house is their baby and they really take care about it. You have a problem you call John and he will fix it. There is one nice restaurant in walking distance (Costa's) which is really good for local food and several within 10 minutes driving time. Check out the South African restaurant 'The Lodge' and the French restaurant 'Gabor' which we can recommend. To summarize our stay at this villa: large en-suite bedrooms, clean house with modern equipment and very friendly owners. Did I mention the hot tub :-)
We can highly recommend this house !!!
