''Villa Astro is a gorgeous villa in a peaceful location. Beautiful inside & out, everything you need is provided, (except for a working corkscrew, very frustrating but we managed [Emoji Removed]) Lovely quiet location, car is necessary for grocery shopping.
Santa Barbara Beach bar & Restaurant, is lovely 5 minute (slow) walk from villa. Great staff & lovely food & drinks.
Stephen provided excellent service, answering all queries in a timely manner, nothing was too much trouble. A real credit to the company. Georgiou was very attentive and helpful without being intrusive, we had a couple of small issues (nothing that really mattered) and he sorted them the same day. And he brought cake - twice!! '
Agent Note: Thanks for all your feedback Amanda. The owner has replaced the missing corkscrew and is always on hand for any issues. Santa Barbara is only 100m from the villa but we appreciate slow walking is more normal in such warm weather. We hope to welcome you back soon. Many thanks again

''Fantastic villa – it had everything we could have asked for and more! The villa was incredibly spacious and we especially appreciated how many bathrooms there were. The pool was the perfect temperate and we enjoyed using the pool and table tennis. The use of Netflix, You Tube etc on the TV was ideal. More than enough and a wide variation of cooking and kitchen utensils were provided. We could not fault the property.
It more was rural that we expected and slightly further from a food shop than we hoped but we found a great taxi company which took us there and into Polis. It was extremely quiet and peaceful. We went to Santa Barbara Tavern and the beach a lot – we loved how close it was. Moustakallis Tavern and the Fish Tavern restaurant nearby there (can’t remember the name) for dinner – truly amazing food and service. The Wave in Latchi was also a fun bar.
More than satisfied with all service received. Again, I could not fault the service and would definitely go through LetsRentOnline again. This villa deserves a 5 star review.Thanks again for your assistance with our booking. We had an amazing holiday and are sad to be back home!.''

''The villa is nice and spacious, well equipped and well maintained. The location is great, very close to the beach and few restaurants. Convenient to visit the Paphos area. I can recommend Santa Barbara restaurant that is very close to the villa. We were complete satisfied with all service received. We had a problem with one of the air conditioners and the owner came in 5 minutes...''

''Villa Astro is a lovely and we’ll definitely be back. The pool area is private, very pretty and has lovely sea views. Villa, pool and outdoor areas are very well equipped and maintained.
The owners have gone the extra mile in providing a pool table, table tennis, a selection of kids play equipment, and sky TV. Villa Astro is just a stumble away from the highly rated Santa Barbara Beach bar and restaurant.
Argaka is a lovely and quiet location, and as long as you’ve got a car, theres plenty of things to see and see and do, with great water sports, buggy hire for exploring the Akamas, lovely restaurants, and a great water park in Paphos for the kids.
We like and recommend The Old Town restaurant in Polis. Molo’s restaurant in Latchi. Santa Barbara Beach Bar. Latchi water sports.
LetsRentOnline provide a helpful, flexible, efficient, and friendly service, with a personal touch that you don’t get from other agents. Very impressed.
The owners are very lovely people and nothing is too much trouble. You might even get treated to a very nice locally baked orange cake, fresh fruit, or even both..''

''Very nice, clean, everyrhing in good order. Spacious heated pool. Quiet, very close to the beach. Nice garden with beautiful palms and other plants
On the main road in front of the house (approx 100 m from the house) there are quite a few restaurants every couple of hundred meters. Santa Barbera Restaurant for example right on the other side of the road has a beautiful sea view and good food. A very good Restaurant can the found in Polis (10 minutes by car) the "Old town restaurant".
Georgios is very friendly and helpful.Communcation with Steven was friendly and easy.''

''The Villa was perfect! It was very comfortable that every bedroom had it’s own bathroom. It gives you privacy! The kitchen was well equipped. The swimming pool was big and clean! A beautiful garden and enough to do for everyone. The swing, the trampoline for the little children and table tennis and pool table was nice for everyone
The location was fine. Near the beach and near a perfect beach bar! We surely would recommend Beach Bar/restaurant Santa Barbara!! We also hired a boat for 4 hours at Laski Watersports! Perfect!
We were very satisfied with the services and especially the communication with the agents of Lersrentonline !! The instructions were clear and friendly. We always did get very quick answer on our questions! With the owner, Very content! We felt very welcome! Always get a soon reply! And he brought us orange cake, apple pie and summer fruit! Really very sweet.
We had a great time with our family in Villa Astro in Cyprus. It was the second time we stayed at the Villa and it felt like coming home! It was for us the first time that we stayed twice in the same place.
Thanks for everything!
Kind regards, Dolf and Anke''

''Excellent villa, it was very clean, much larger rooms than we were expecting and the pool was lovely. We were really impressed with it. Although it was set back from the sea, it was still a lovely view of it, especially from the balconies.
The location was good, could walk to a few bars and restaurants, would definitely need a hire car though, as supermarkets were too far away to walk to. We went to Paphos a couple of times (just under an hour) and Limassol (90 mins) both were very good, but there were not many places closer to visit. Excellent location for a relaxing holiday though.
Santa Barbara at the end of the drive (was literally about 75m) was great. We ate there a couple of times and enjoyed both very much. Brilliant view of the sunset from there.
Brilliant service from you, always kept up to date, always quick to respond and everything was clear throughout regarding the cost and payment dates. Had little interaction with the owner but was very polite and helpful and bought us a local bottle of wine on our last night which was lovely. The property was fantastic and information sheets were helpful''

''The Villa itself is as always very good - spacious, well equipped and very clean. A good location in a quiet residential area with great views of the sea and surrounding hills, a fantastic beach bar just 100m down the track and within a 10 -12 minute drive (or taxi) of polis town where there are numerous bars and Tavernas. Also there are a couple of mini-marts and a great bakery also within Argaka for essential supplies as well as a very good supermarket in Polis.
We would recommend Santa Barbara beach bar/restaurant just down the track from the villa - excellent plave to watch the sunset and great food, the Half-way house restaurant on the outskirts of Argaka - just 5 mins drive for great breakfasts and fantastic kebabs and in Polis `Finikas` for smart dining in great contemporary surroundings but at reasonable prices.
In terms of your service as agents we appreciate how rapidly responsive and helpful you are. The service provided by the owners is great- they are very welcoming, and helpful if needed, and generous with gifts of fresh fruit and wine and keep the villa very clean. Nothing to improve this time, but did appreciate that attention was paid to some suggestions we made in the past as to the comfort of the sunbeds ( cushions now provided) and the uneveness of the pool table which has now been replaced
Planning to visit Villa Astro again. ''

''The villa came up to our expectations and more. It was very clean and the rooms are spacious. All bedrooms being en suite is brilliant. The pool is great and the garden loungers and other furniture are just right. The weather was very hot and humid while we were there so the sofas, table and chairs which were very often in the shade were much appreciated. The pool table was well used and enjoyed. The garden is lovely and is so peaceful. Very often all we could hear was the sound of the sea - bliss!
The location is ideal, being so near to the sea, tavernas and beach bars as well as a bakery. The drive to Polis is really easy and only takes a few minutes.
We would recommend:
The Paradisos Hills hotel at Lysos. An idyllic, peaceful spot with wonderful views. The staff are very welcoming. We called in for coffee and home made cake and returned on our last night for a lovely meal.
The Stone Lion taverna at Goudi. Again very welcoming friendly staff and very good Lebanese and Greek food. Very reasonable prices. Probably need to book.
BBQ Man Cyprus. We were in Cyprus for a small wedding. In the evening Josh and Bambos from BBQ Man prepared a fabulous BBQ for us. The food was really super and they were great. For a real treat get them to come and cater for you.
We were very satisfied with Lets Rent on Line very prompt and helpful responses to any queries we had. We didn't meet any local managers probably because we were out a lot but they came promptly and tried to resolve a couple of small issues we had. Unfortunately the leak in one of the ground floor bathrooms recurred. Hopefully it has been fixed by now. In summary we absolutely loved the villa and didn't want to come home. Hopefully we will stay there again one day.. ''

''The villa was very nice and clean, Near the sea, directly by a good restarant, perfect for Familys. We recommend Latschi watrersports, Restarant Herb Gardens in Polis. Happy with all your service. ''

''The villa itself was very good indeed, spacious, a well-equipped kitchen, good sized swimming pool and surrounding patio area with attractive planting. The location is good, a great view of the sea, a great restaurant & bar (Santa Barbara) just minutes walk away and not far from Polis with its good selection of restaurants. Santa Barbara in Argaka, the Halfway House for breakfast & lunch on the coast road to Polis, and in polis itself The Old Town, Polis herb garden and Moustakalis.
You gave good and prompt communication. Georgious and Angela are very friendly and helpful. We would like to return next year to Villa ''
