"I can honestly say that Ampelitis was by far the best villa I have ever stayed in, it was stunning!" Gareth B
Experience Villa Ampelitis, a hidden gem majestically situated on a stunning hilltop in peaceful countryside, offering 360° panoramic unspoilt views of the surrounding hills, Statos-Agios Fotios village, and on a clear day, the sea.
I, Irene, was involved in the concept and design of Villa Ampelitis as I found that many owners and architects alike were not considering accessibility.
Too many steps, narrow doors etc.
All it needed was a little more thought.
So together with the owners and an architect, we designed this unique villa with lots of level access and wide enough doors for a wheelchair user or a parent with baby buggy to get about easily.
We can supply many disability items on request, including the pool hoist, profiling bed, grab rails and a mobile hoist. These are safely stored away, and are prebookable. More information below.
THE VILLA
The villa, set in a 2000 sq. m orchard garden with fruits, vegetables, and herbs, offers privacy with no neighbors and a secluded pool area. It’s a relaxing spot to enjoy traditional Cypriot life, 25 minutes drive to Paphos and its beaches. Daily needs are a 3-minute walk away, and Kolios Winery, which serves pre-bookable meze, is 15 minutes on foot.
The highlight is the gas-heated private pool and baby pool, with customizable temperatures of 26°, 28°, or 30° Celsius. You can choose the temperature before arrival for year-round swimming. Supplement for air conditioning, pool heating, and central heating.
The pool features wide steps, an internal seat, a handrail, and a spacious wet room with a shower, toilet, and wash basin. In summer, glass doors open to sun terraces with stunning rural views. The pool house roof provides shade from the Cyprus sun, benefiting children and those with fair skin.
This spacious house features wide front doors and ceiling-to-floor windows for a bright ambiance, with mosquito screens on all windows. It offers Wi-Fi inside and outside and a media box for UK and world TV and film streaming.
The stylish interiors, imported from Germany, feature a modern stainless steel kitchen, luxurious leather reclining furniture, and elegant bath and shower rooms with wide cubicles. Beds can be converted from single to double as preferred.
The open-plan dining area has an extending table for up to 10, with 8 chairs and a bench. Patio doors lead to an olive tree courtyard and herb garden with a built-in BBQ and outdoor dining area, perfect for evening sun and sky views, next to the pool for child supervision.
We offer various baby, child, and disability items upon request, including a pool hoist, which are safely stored. If you don’t need them, you can enjoy the space. A list of optional hire items will be sent to you before your holiday.
2 x optional studios in annexe
Between the main house (which sleeps 2 – 8) and the pool are 2 self-contained studios which sleep up to 4 persons in each. They will remain empty, unless you, the renter, add them to your booking. View the studios here
The compact, identical studios have wider doors for accessibility, each featuring a spacious shower, WC, kitchenette and sun terrace. The double bed is on the mezzanine, overlooking the lounge and sofa bed below. A corridor leads directly to the pool for quiet swimming, and air conditioning is included at no charge.
The reliable and consistent temperature of this heated pool means Villa Ampelitis is also available to you in low season including Christmas, New Year, Easter and October half term. In low season you will particularly appreciate the Cyprus sun’s rays which will pour into the pool room, and the house will be comfortable and cosy. Having central heating and a log fire, (that you can cook over) makes staying at Villa Ampelitis a totally unique experience in Cyprus. You can even ski at Troodos mountains, just over 1.5 hours’ drive, and come home and swim!
