''Thank you for managing my booking of Villa Stella which again provided the base for a great holiday, despite the intense heat of the first week. I enjoyed my solo week and it was great to spend the second with my daughter.
Villa Stella is well equipped, furnished and maintained. The villa is in a very good, quiet residential location with views to the sea and also mountains. We enjoyed Corallia Bay with its lovely beach and crystal clear water; the area is well supervised and maintained. We also enjoyed a 3 hour boat trip from Latchi to the Blue Lagoon.
I was completely satisfied with my dealings with LetsRentOnline. The property manager quickly responded to and dealt with 2 minor issues during our stay.
The only reason I may not return to Villa Stella is if I decide to explore a different area. ''

''We were really pleased with the accommodation. The locality of the property was purposely picked - based on many holidays to this area over the years and we were really pleased with it.
No recommendations - other than to say we were really pleased with all restaurants, bars beaches and the choice within Peyia village, Coral Bay and Paphos.
Met the local managers when attending to our pool cleaning. V helpful, friendly and approved our late check out time - hassle free. Accomodation was really well equipped and welcome pack hugely appreciated ''

''The villa was of a very good standard. Had everything you needed. Good size swimming pool. Very quiet residential area. Suited us. Transport advisable due its location. Restaurant Othello and Seriani good food and service.
Excellent service from yourselves. The directions from airport to villa were pin point accuracy, down to the recycle bins and red chevrons. Phil/Denise were very helpful, giving local advice. We will definitely be revisiting ''

''we are back home in (very cool) UK. Villa was excellent, clean, tidy and with all the facilities and equipment you need for a fabulous holiday, with the fantastic pool an absolute joy in the Cypriot summer!
Location was perfect, in a quiet residential area with hardly anyone overlooking the pool area, 2 minute drive to the bars and restaurants of peyia, a car is advisable!
Great beach at Coral Bay (busy in high season but safe for swimming/watersports). Can recommend La Vigna Trattoria Italian restaurant in Coral Bay, Poppadoms Indian restaurant on Tomb of the Kings road to Paphos, Kings Ave Mall great for shopping, plenty of cultural sights depending on individual taste, get your guide book out for details!
LetsRentOnline have been 1st class throughout the booking process during a very unpredictable, pandemic affected period of time, Steven in particular has been very helpful and responds to emails and any queries very promptly. Had to change the booking times and durations several times and nothing was too much trouble, definitely the best booking agents I have dealt with in nearly 20 years of booking Apts/Villas in Cyprus.
The local villa managers were very good, the pool was maintained regularly and an excellent mid term clean and linen change was very much appreciated.
Will be back to Cyprus again, guaranteed. Thanks again for all your help, your service was excellent. Definitely interested in booking again for 2022. Warmest regards, Jason Thompson. North Wales, UK''

''We had a lovely holiday at Villa Stella and would definitely recommend it to friends and family. We have stayed in a few villas in different countries and this one was the best equipped, most clean and had the best welcome pack on our arrival!
We thought the location was ideal as long as you had a car to get about and explore a bit. There was definitely plenty to do in nearby Coral Bay particularly the hire of buggies which my husband and son loved. Slightly further out in Latchi, we very much enjoyed an organised boat trip to the Blue Lagoon which included an onboard barbecue and snorkelling. With the discount provided by Lets Rent Online, it was an absolute bargain at 80€ for four of us. My daughter and I also parasailed which was amazing for me...not so much for her!!
As for restaurants, there was a great choice in Pegeia itself. Our favourites were the Green Hill Cafe right at the top of Pegeia and Oniro just outside of Coral Bay.
We were very satisfied with the communication from yourself and also from Louise and Gary. They were particularly helpful when we had to phone them on the day we arrived as we couldn’t find the villa. Louise talked us through it and followed it up with us when she came to change our linen. I’ve just asked my husband whether he had any comments on the property itself and the only thing he suggested was some kind of netting along the wooden fence to stop us losing balls that we were playing with in the pool!😂
As for whether we’d visit Cyprus again, yes, I think we would but we might go a bit later in the year - maybe October - when it might be a little cooler. We would definitely be looking to book with Lets Rent Online again as it was all very straightforward and the villa was such a good standard. Thanks again. Sue & Jason ''

''Sorry for the delay in replying, but happy to answer your questions and more than happy for you to use our comments on your website. Thank You yes we had a wonderful holiday again, and would like to mention the fantastic job that Louise and Gary do in taking care of the property also the fact that they are a more than willing to help in anyway they can and are so friendly. The property has to be one of the best we have stayed in, it is almost home from home with everything you need to make your stay comfortable and having the IPTV is such an added bonus
After our last stay we decided we enjoyed everything about the villa, the area, and the restaurants so much that we came back for 4 weeks this time and are again returning with family later this year in October. The whole service provided from the start of booking our holiday with Steven the Letting Manager, to Gary and Louise who take care of the property was absolutely first class and that was also one of the reasons we decided to return to Cyprus with this company. Many Thanks to everyone who made it such a wonderful holiday and we shall see you again soon''

''The villa was lovely. Very clean, everything worked and it was exactly as the photos showed. Location was fine for us. We hired a car so only a few minutes drive to the local supermarket and restaurants in Coral Bay. As this was our 7th visit to Peyia/Coral Bay we have got to know the area quite well and also the people who work in the restaurants! The kids always want to go to Aphrodite water park in Paphos and also have done Parasailing at Corallia Beach. We love La Vigna Trarroria in Coral Bay, a lovely Italian restaurant, slightly more expensive than other restaurants in the area but worth it. Also Andria restaurant and Samisen Japanese is an entertaining evening.
The service/information provided/response to questions is always excellent. We did not need to contact the local manager at all as everything was OK. Louise did come and do a very thorough mid stay clean. We didn't see Gary clean the pool, but we knew he had been! The 3 villas we have stayed at (Foster, Stella and Zivania) have all been fantastic. Service and correspondence is always excellent. We will probably be going again next summer. Thank you again for another great villa and a lovely holiday''

''First of all I would like to thank everyone involved for a most wonderful family holiday at Villa Stella!
We all enjoyed our holiday immensely and were very impressed with both the accommodation in particular and the local area in general. We mainly enjoyed lazy days by the pool, but also managed to see a little of the surrounding area in our short stay on the island. I have detailed some of the highlights below, should it be any use for potential guests booking with you in the future: -
Villa Stella was spotlessly clean with lovely views looking out to the sea. I certainly enjoyed a peaceful morning coffee on the balcony whilst the rest of the family were fast asleep! Although I must admit the views were a bit of a distraction to my early game of scrabble! The villa was well equipped with just about everything you would expect to help make it a real home from home during our stay. There was a wide selection of channels to choose from on the TV, and the beds were very comfy. The real star of the villa, however, is the fantastic swimming pool which saw plenty of action during our stay! It was a perfect size and depth for a five year old confident swimmer who loved jumping in and out of the water. The location of the villa meant that, despite surrounding villas nearby, the pool area was not overlooked at all.
I would argue that you definitely require a car when staying in Peyia, but we knew that before we booked and driving is very easy for those used to driving in the UK. Lots of people seem to use the bus to travel between Coral Bay and Paphos, but not sure how reliable it would be to and from Peyia for the necessary supermarket visits and trips to the beach etc.
The beach at Coral Bay is lovely and sandy and the water is fantastic for swimming, or generally just playing about in! We spent a couple of days at Aphrodite Water Park in Paphos which was very much enjoyed by all. The slides are varied and fun and the staff were all great with the kids. One nice innovation was that you don't need to carry any cash with you as any bills for food/toys were scanned onto a wrist band and you paid on your way out.
We enjoy sea food and would highly recommend Ocean Basket in Coral Bay for well priced & delicious menu - the King Prawns are a must for any foody! Oniro By The Sea is also recommended for eating/drinking. It has a fantastic setting looking out over the sea caves and the ship wreck in the bay - perfect for indulging in a photograph or two!
We took a very scenic drive to Latchi in order to hire a motor boat from Latchi Watersports. We chose that particular company as there was a discount for anyone staying in the villa. I can't praise the staff there highly enough, who were very friendly with a very high level of expertise. Would highly recommend this particular company for any boating needs, and the reefs there are simply wonderful for snorkelling.
We had a couple of questions prior to travelling, and these were answered both promptly and in full. Both Gary, who cleaned the pool, and Louise who changed the linen etc were very helpful with tips and pointers to enjoy our stay. They were both very nice and friendly which again helped us to enjoy our stay. We all liked the atmosphere and friendliness of the local people and will definitely be returning to Cyprus in the future. Whether we will try somewhere new to explore first though remains to be seen.
After a few years of staying at all inclusive hotels, we much preferred the villa experience. I would have thought this will be what we choose again for next year's holiday. Thank you Steven to you & your team for a simply wonderful experience!''

''Superb villa, well presented and well furnished. Level of cleanliness was exceptional. Good location, pool nicely elevated and private. Some good local tavernas within a reasonable walk but worth the uphill walk. Thankfully downhill on the way back!! Loved the Grande Cafe Bar in Peyia Village. Lovely guys and nice food. Good value. Enjoyed Phidias in Coral Bay. Loved having a beer sat at Potima Beach Bar. 4. Were you satisfied with the service provided by ourselves as agents (LetsRentOnline.Com)? Very pleased with your service. Locally, Gary and Louise are very helpful and professional.''

''The villa was superb, very clean, well equipped and very tastefully decorated. The pool and outside areas were also excellent.
The villa was in a great location. We had been concerned prior to arrival that the area may not be as quiet as we like, but although there were surrounding properties the position of the villa meant that it was not overlooked, and we did not feel disturbed at all during the two weeks. The villa was only 5 minutes drive from Peyia centre, and also only 5-10 minutes drive to Coral Bay and the main supermarket, so it was very convenient for amenities.
For food, the Peyia Tavern in Peyia centre was great if you like the traditional Cypriot fare – no menu but the meze was fantastic, and very reasonable. We also enjoyed meals in various restaurants in Coral Bay, namely Lekanto (fabulous meal, plus after dinner entertainment with one of the waiters performing card tricks/magic), Corallo (another delicious meal and friendly staff), and Kambana (wonderful steaks, melted in the mouth!). Regarding sightseeing, we really enjoyed the House of Dionysus in Paphos.
The service provided by you was excellent. You kept us informed all the way through from booking to just prior to our holiday. You offered helpful hints, discount vouchers, always replied to our email queries promptly and efficiently, and after our return processed our deposit refund efficiently. The instructions for finding the villa were also very helpful.
We did not see the owners very often. They greeted us a couple of days after our arrival, and came to service the pool on Mondays and Thursdays. They also came in to clean the villa after one week. They left comprehensive instructions within the villa so did not need to get in touch, but we had their numbers if we had needed them. They were very understanding with regards our departure home (we had a late night flight) and allowed us to remain in the villa until mid afternoon rather than insisting we left by 11:00 – we were very grateful for this.
Everything was excellent. Many thanks for making this such an enjoyable experience.''

As per usual villa stella was in excellent condition beautifully clean and welcoming. The location is perfect for us close to Peyia and coral bay but nice and peaceful. We would recommend Mandra ,The imperial Chinese restaurant, Posidenas to eat in Paphos, Also Chris Andreou in coral bay for a buggy or quad bike safari. The service provided by yourself Steven and your colleagues is excellent and is one of the reasons we book every year. Gary and Louise are very friendly and helpful ,just a really nice couple. You cant improve on perfection. Thank you again Steven for all your correspondence with regards to Villa Stella.

Lovely villa, with everything we needed including wifi. The pool area was great with the sun all day and lovely views of the coast. The location was great, about a 20 minute walk into Peyia (quite uphill) and a 5 minute drive into Coral Bay. Because of the location of the villa the views are uninterrupted and the pool area is not overlooked at all. All restaurants and bars in Peyia, particularly Grande and Vrisi. Imogens in Kathikas is about a 20 minute drive away for lovely meze. Oniro is about 10 minute drive away for lovely views of the sunset. Yes. Booking process was very efficient and our deposit was returned promptly. The local managers were very good. The villa was very clean and the mid-stay clean and linen change was great.

The villa was very nice, well equipped and in a lovely condition. The location had lovely views out to the sea and in easy reach of the town centre. Yiannis in Kathikas serves a great meze and Viklari on the way to Lara Bay has a simple menu (Chicken or Pork) but it is cooked to perfection and with fantastic views.

"The property was amazing, everything you need. The location is superb. We like quiet and out of the way so it suited us perfectly, there is everything you need in Polis which is only a 10 min drive and if you want more its too far to Paphos. There are some lovely restaurants and tavernas in Polis, try Finikas, Moustakallas and Chix Chos, all very good and the staff are very attentive. There are plenty in Latsi too but they are slightly more expensive. Take a drive up the Troodos mountains, the views are spectacular. The service provided by Letsrentonline.com was as usual very good!

"The villa was as good as in previous years - beautifully clean and well equipped. It is very quiet and in an excellent location. We all lead hectic lives and this is an ideal place for all the family to get together and just relax. We spent the day at Latchi which has a beautiful beach. The trip from Peyia is interesting over the winding roads with wonderful scenery. We visited the Last Castle near Peyia for the first time - amazing views and very good reasonably priced food. We also loved Agios Georgious - so pretty and the St Georges restaurant does an excellent fish meze. The Peyia Taverna also an excellent meze of traditional cypriot food. Very satisfied over the three years we have been dealing with LetsRentOnline. Gary and Louise were as helpful as ever - it wss like meeting with old friends. Andy and his taxi also as reliable as ever.

"We would just like to say what an amazing holiday we had staying at Villa Stella in Peyia, the property was beautiful a real home from home with the most amazing views and everything we could ask for to make it a very special, relaxing break. The location itself was just a short car trip to Coral Bay and Paphos for a lively night/day out with Peyia being quieter but with a few bars and restaurants in which we wiled away many a happy evening. The Last Castle restaurant does a great BBQ lunch with the most spectacular views, a bit of a bumpy road up there but well worth it. Suggest a day in the Troodos Mountains a long drive,I think we took the B road and managed to navigate through some authentic Greek Cypriot villages, but well worth it to see the spectacular countryside. Take a trip into Paphos which has a very pretty harbour area and visit Tomb of the Kings if into archaeology as you can really get close up to see everything. We would like to congratulate you for your very efficient, helpful service. This was the first time we had booked online and I must say you made it an easy process and helped all the way, always returning our emails promptly. The services of the local manager was great, we found him and his wife really friendly and very helpful with suggestions on places to visit and eat etc. The Villa was immaculately presented and very comfortable. We would certainly like to return to Cyprus and would rent the Villa Stella or another of your villas without hesitation. Thanks. Kerry and Dale.

"The property was lovely, everything you would expect from a holiday villa, very spacious, clean and modern with plenty of outside space and not overlooked at all. The location was fine for us. It could be a little remote if you didnt have a car and there isnt really anywhere within reasonable walking distance, but loved Peyia and lovely views too. So many to mention, but we loved the Peyia Tavern in the village for traditional Cypriot food and experience, Saavas grill on a Tuesday for the Greek dancing night, The Grande and The Brewery in Peyia, snack bars but very good. La Vigna the Italian at Coral Bay strip was excellent, all places up at Kathikas - Imogens Inn, Etc. The Last Castle on way out to Lara was lovely, very remote and traditional. We preferred Coralia beach as it was quieter, but the Coral Bay beach has very good waves! All the water sports were very well maintained and organised and well worth doing. The Aphrodite Water Park, good fun family day out. As an agent, you were very informative, excellent directions to property also. Gary & Louise were great too, Gary helped enormously over the lighting problems that we had, and kept pool very well maintained. We hope to book for next year soon.
Great Villa, Great Location. The views were fantastic, the furniture was all good quality and the villa has obviously been designed by someone with talent. Thanks very much. Be back soon.Mark and Sally Bailey, Essex, U.K, May 07
